Re: Lovegame (7:49am May 8, 2016):

I think being challenged forces you to do more than you
thought you could often with terrific results

Re: Romancing the Ranger (2:41pm March 18, 2016):

I can listen to anything upbeat while cleaning house but
when I am working it has to be instrumental without lyrics

Re: Ashes in the Sky (5:38pm March 7, 2016):

Hermoine Granger. Smart and honorable

Re: Her Fierce Warror (5:35pm March 7, 2016):

We celebrate with friends and family but the location
changes

Re: Forever Dusk (2:50pm February 15, 2016):

Jealousy

Re: Always Watching (2:49pm February 15, 2016):

Reading, travel, cats, music, my family (not necessarily in
that order)

Re: Remaking Ryan (11:08am January 21, 2016):

Road trips rarely go as planned but that is part of the
appeal. It's the journy not the destination

Re: Deep Down (3:23pm November 28, 2015):

I haven't tried it but would like to.

Re: Crazy Little Thing Called Love (3:22pm November 28, 2015):

My mom used to make a Christmas Yule log that was delish.
My sister still makes it.

Re: Murder Under the Mistletoe (3:45pm November 16, 2015):

Snuggling with my kitties calms me down

Re: Single Wicked Wolf (8:59am October 31, 2015):

I'd add Vasic from psy/changelings, Loki from the Avengers
and Matt McCall from your Always a Marine series. I figured
him to always be in the bacground but his story blew me
away.

Re: River Wolf (10:07am August 28, 2015):

I love Heather's work and am amazed at her output. I like
Mini Me's comment. I am thrilled to see so many authors
posting positive comments. I don't like the backstabbing I
often see. I think it is terrific that Ms. Long is paying
it forward.

Re: A Peach of a Pair (8:33am August 7, 2015):

Hot tea. I know its an anathema to southern folks but its
what I like

Re: Agent N6: Dylan (8:31am August 7, 2015):

I like to create my own picture in my mind

Re: Murder.com (3:11pm July 16, 2015):

Eve Dallas & Roarke, Temperance Brennen and Andrew Ryan,
Sherlock & Watson

Re: The Fire Children (3:07pm July 16, 2015):

I have several series that I re-read often. Mercedes
Lackey's Valdamar, Ann McCaffrey's drangon riders, Nalini
Singh's Psy/Changlings and others.

Re: SEAL Wolf Hunting (12:09pm July 2, 2015):

I get my adventure vicariously through reading

Re: Motion for Malice (5:24pm June 22, 2015):

I read for fun

Re: Witness to Passion (10:57am June 15, 2015):

I have a fear of heights. I fell off of a hillside as a
kid (the flying was fun the landing not so much so now I
get awful vertigo where heights are concerned. Still
love to fly though (go figure) my husband humors me by
doing things like going to the top of the GW monument and
taking a picture so I won't have to do it and won't miss
out.

Re: Against the Tide (11:16am June 12, 2015):

I too have missed out on the Brodies till now but I just
bought the first one Against The Heart

Re: Double Cross (10:39am April 18, 2015):

*snerk* I am a fan of the musical and thus am cracking up
picturing these folks singing.

Re: Ashwood Falls Box Set (11:34am January 8, 2015):

I Love shifters. Any kind.

Re: Two Week Seduction (10:11am November 26, 2014):

I am more of a spring kind of gal

Re: Hometown Heroes: Hotter Ever After (12:16pm October 13, 2014):

Not only is this a fantastic cause but this box set is
super terrific.

Re: The Lady's Disgrace (4:03pm September 12, 2014):

I love the occasional historical novel. I loved history in
school.

Re: Once Upon a Bride (4:02pm September 12, 2014):

Great story. I was lucky in that I loved my job.

Re: Accidentally Married on Purpose (8:22am July 18, 2014):

Dating myself but I had the biggest crush on Freddie Mercury
(buck teeth and all).

Re: In Bed with the Competition (4:12pm July 10, 2014):

Now I have to read this. I only watch Suits because of
Gabriel Macht.

Re: Hell for Leather (12:37pm May 18, 2014):

I love all of those as well. I also love Nalini Singh's
Psy/Changlings, Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar series, Jim Butcher
's Harry Dresden, Kelley Armstrongs Otherworld series,
Christine Feehan Drake Sisters, Kresley Cole - IAD...

Re: Secrets and Sins: Raphael (1:58pm May 3, 2014):

F**ktard. Nuff said. I use this one while driving.

Re: Unfixable (7:40pm April 15, 2014):

I don't mind a broody hero if he gets over himself. If he is
to emo I want to just put him out of his misery.

Re: Playing It Close (5:15pm April 8, 2014):

I,ve seen a match. Wasn't sure what the heck was going on
but the guys are hot. Not a beta in the bunch.

Re: Night Studies (5:13pm April 8, 2014):

Thanks for the freebie. I haven't had the pleasure of
reading this one yet.

Re: The Winter Bride (3:02pm April 3, 2014):

Beta heroes are okay with me. I love humor with my romance.
Nobody needs to take themselves too seriously.

Re: Free Falling (5:07pm March 13, 2014):

This sounds right up my alley. Must check it out.

Re: The Groom's Gamble (1:28pm January 5, 2014):

Yep, gotta go with The Groom's Gamble too.

Re: A Cowboy for Christmas (1:08pm November 4, 2013):

When the kids were younger we all got together and made sugar
cookies and decorated them. My goodness the mess but the
memories were worth it.

Re: How To Date A Dragon (7:30am September 27, 2013):

Escape is important. Books have been my refuge all my life
they have been my port in all the storms of my life. I can't
write so I do appreciate those of you who can.

Re: A Rancher's Christmas (2:15pm August 27, 2013):

I can read Christmas romances any time of the year! My must
have for any town is a coffee shop.

Re: Italian Affair (6:25am August 10, 2013):

I have been known to laugh, cry, and sigh out loud while
reading. My husband always knows how into a book I am by my
reactions. But who hasn't wanted to "Gibbs slap" a character
when they royally mess up?

Re: Second Ride Cowboy (7:21am July 28, 2013):

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't I've seen it go
both ways.

Re: The Officer And The Secret (3:32pm July 19, 2013):

My ex was a submarine sailor. And yes he is now my ex but
while he served and we were married we would communicate via
Skype when we could. Hot letters and goodies from home were
sent often. It takes a special kind of love to make it long
distance. Ours didn't make it but I've seen it done.

Re: Magic Rises (3:29pm July 19, 2013):

I love this series. I've gotten all my friends hooked on it
too. Kate & Curran have a huge fan base here in GA.

Re: Guardian (7:44am July 9, 2013):

I love second chance stories. My favorite second chance movie
is probably When Harry Met Sally

Re: Winning a Bride (6:43pm July 5, 2013):

I like novellas sometimes but much prefer a full length novel.

Re: Prince of Secrets (5:59pm July 3, 2013):

I am a compulsive book buyer. I know I should hold off till
my TBR shelf is whittled down some but if a book comes out by
one of my favorite authors I just have to get it.

Re: Flirting with Disaster (6:40pm June 10, 2013):

A fatal flaw in a hero hmmm ego and no sense of humor.

Re: The Seven-Day Target (6:15am April 29, 2013):

I love romantic suspense novels. I like the romance to be part
of a larger story as opposed to the whole story.

Re: A Man for All Seasons (7:42am April 19, 2013):

With all that has been happening on the news lately I want to
believe in angels. I believe in earthbound angels like out
first responders and the medical and law enforcement folks
that protect and serve.

Re: If You Give A Rake A Ruby (4:32pm March 21, 2013):

I love a guy who is strong intelligent and has a sense of
humor

Re: Into the Spotlight (6:36pm March 3, 2013):

I am loving the new Vegas tv show with Dennis Quaid. I am a
big fan of The Rat Pack so it's right up my alley.

Re: Once Again A Bride (10:28am February 7, 2013):

I've got a typing table my father in-law used to use. As he
was one of the smartest and kindest men I've ever known I
enjoy the feeling of him looking over my shoulder.

Re: A Little Bit Wicked (6:52pm December 29, 2012):

I plan to do more for my health. Run more, drive less. I also need to get
the clutter under control. Wishing you all a happy, healthy new year.

Re: Renegade (1:58pm December 24, 2012):

I grew up Jewish but my husband is Christian so the kids got a
little of both. I think my favorites are the Muppets &
Fragglerock specials and maybe A Christmas Carol with Patrick Stewart.

Re: Captive Of The Border Lord (12:43pm December 20, 2012):

Of course we have stories but one of my favorites has to be
the fact that my mother was the clutziest woman on the planet.
She is the only person I've ever known to close her own nose
in the refridgerator.

Re: A Seal At Heart (7:11am December 14, 2012):

My husband and daughter first and foremost. My son and his
wife they live far away but will answer the phone at any time
as will my big sister. I have a small circle of friends I can
count on through thick and thin.

Re: Abigail And Mistletoe (3:10pm October 22, 2012):

You write to escape and that is why I read. A perfect match!

Re: Sultry With A Twist (7:33am October 21, 2012):

Your post made me laugh. It reminds me of an article I read
by Laurell K. Hamilton. In her books the female lead has
several lovers. She gets asked about her love life all the
time. She says it would be exhausting to have that many men
in her real life but it still amazes her that folks feel
they have the right to ask. Keep writing and when folks ask
just smile and keep em guessing.

Re: Rev It Up (7:29am October 21, 2012):

I've read the first 3 Black Knights and look forward to the
next installment. I LOVE books that think outside the box.
Things tend to get formulaic if you don't. My only
complaint is that bookstore owners seem to need labels in
order to shelve books. I recently went to re-purchase the
feaver series by Karen Marie Moning and found 2 in romance,
2 in Scifi/fantasy and 1 in fiction. Write your stories as
they come to you and there will be an audience.

Re: In Rides Trouble (9:31pm September 7, 2012):

What a fun, sexy romp. I love the interaction between Rebel
and Boss.

Re: Immortally Yours (2:07pm August 27, 2012):

Love the P.N.N. Web site. My favorite article was Sit, Sit,
SIT! Tips for Training Your HellHound The ads are hilarious
too. Word to the wise I had to look at it in IE8 as the links
didn't work in Chrome.

Re: Blame It On Texas (8:08am August 26, 2012):

Laughter is the best medicine for your soul. I read to escape
and laughter makes the journey that much more enjoyable.

Re: In the Line of Duty (8:04am August 26, 2012):

I think that as long as a man realize that a woman's biggest
sex organ is her brain he will succeed whether he is alpha or
not.

Re: The Big Beach Book (1:32pm August 23, 2012):

I grew up on the beach on Long Island and biy do I miss it. I
am land-locked now in GA and it is at least a 2 hour drive to
the beach. I love visiting in books when I can't get there in
person and besides there isn't enough eye bleach for Bubba in
a speedo.

Re: Hell On Wheels (8:23am August 10, 2012):

Oh my just my speed. Count me in. Couldn't wait for contest
so I just bought it. :-)

Re: Tangle Of Need (9:00am May 28, 2012):

I await each new Nalini Singh book with anticipation. I
love each world she has created but I must admit a
partiality to the Psy/Changling series. Hawke is my book
boyfriend. Right up there with J.D. Robb's Rourke. I
prefer a series. I like watching the characters grow.

Re: Untouched (6:39pm April 28, 2012):

Love the cover. I have loads of songs with associared memories and
feelings.

Re: Somebody To Love (6:46am April 24, 2012):

There have been several times in my life I've needed to start
over. New place, new job, new friends. Scary and exciting.

Re: Scrumptious (8:57am January 16, 2012):

When I was a kid I wanted to be a doctor. I ended up being a
doctor to computers.

Re: Hot Zone (1:33pm December 2, 2011):

Happy holidays. I always want gift cards to my favorite
bookstores and I am getting a trip to Phoenix to go to my sons
wedding.

Re: Because Of You (10:47am November 14, 2011):

The military is a great place to find heroes.

Re: Tall, Dark And Cowboy (12:20pm November 7, 2011):

I've had to start over several times. But I've been blessed
with good friends and family that have been there for me to
lend a hand when I truly needed it.

Re: Liver Let Die (8:04am November 5, 2011):

Names are important. We named my son David after my
grandfather who had passed. The problem is I have a
brother, an uncle and a cousin named David as well. My son
chooses to go by his middle name. When we named our
daughter Nora we thought it would be unique. She had a whole different set of issues with it.

Re: Undead And Undermined (6:32am July 22, 2011):

Snicker. Too funny. I have read the Twilight series and
still don't get it. I also read the Undead series and am
happy to say that I get it. Keep em coming.

Re: Master Of Smoke (8:41pm January 5, 2011):

Just finished Master of Smoke. Loved it. Now I have to wait for Master of Shadows.

Re: Twins Under His Tree (8:37pm December 2, 2010):

My father in-law served in WWII (Army) & Korea (Air Force). My father & mother served in the Army in Korea. My sister was in the Marines. I was in the Navy. My husband was in the Army in Viet Nam. My nephew is a West Point grad and served in Iraq.

I would love to win a copy of Twins under his tree!
Thanks for the contest

Re: Motor City Witch (11:50am November 26, 2010):

I haven't read any of these but think they may have to be added to my tbr list now.

Re: Dating Mr. December (5:50pm November 22, 2010):

It is folks like you who can take what they see & hear shake it up with a dose of imagination and put it into words that keep me going.

Re: One Touch of Scandal (8:48am September 26, 2010):

I have 3 inside shelter cats and did my first 5k walk yesterday to enlarge a local no kill shelter. I think what you are doing is terrific. I read to reward myself of course the kitties have to share. Sometimes they turn the pages faster than I can read. Hmmm

Re: Atlantis Betrayed (10:22am August 31, 2010):

Good luck with the move. One great thing about being a writer is that you can do it from anywhere. Looking forward to ATLANTIS BETRAYED and many more from you. Thanks for hours of escape.

Re: Chick with a Charm (5:27am February 19, 2010):

3 cats deign to reside with me. They wake me for treats no matter that it’s the weekend. They greet me at the door when I get home for their dinner which must be served before anything else gets done. They spread their charm between my husband and I not favoring either. I have 2 all black domestic short hairs and a long hair tortie that I wanted to name after Ethel Murman as she is tiny with a BIG mouth. I was voted down so she is now named Emily. My daughter has a rottie named Athena who is a sweet girl. I just don’t have the energy required for a dog I guess.

Re: Accidentally Demonic (4:52am February 18, 2010):

This series is a total romp. I would love a copy of Kiss & Hell. What a great title.
