Re: Dirty (9:12am May 24, 2011):

Thanks, Rachael! So true, Edwina and Jessica!

Re: Dirty (3:06pm May 23, 2011):

Good advice, Carol!

Re: Dirty (3:05pm May 23, 2011):

Thank you so much, Felina!

Re: Dirty (8:23am May 23, 2011):

Thanks, Lisa!

Re: Dirty (11:12pm May 22, 2011):

Sheila, in this busy world we live in sometimes we can't devote the time to finish a story in one sitting. It's refreshing when a good story has just the right amount of characters and details which are all memorable and relevant so that we feel comfortable picking back up without that "lost" moment. Good point!

Re: Dirty (10:43pm May 22, 2011):

Thanks, Jennifer! We lived in Texas for two years and LOVED it!

Re: Dirty (9:37pm May 22, 2011):

Billie, that's the key! I am so excited to be a part of this new opportunity.

Re: Dirty (9:35pm May 22, 2011):

Lisa, that's my favorite kind of heroine!

Re: Dirty (6:41pm May 22, 2011):

Agreed, Jennifer!

Re: Dirty (5:43pm May 22, 2011):

Thank you, Robin!

Re: Dirty (5:42pm May 22, 2011):

Very true, Mildred!

Re: Dirty (3:29pm May 22, 2011):

Yay, Joy!!! Thank you!

Re: Dirty (3:05pm May 22, 2011):

Anna, thank you! I hope to get lots of feedback!

Re: Dirty (2:28pm May 22, 2011):

I might be away for a bit. Storms hitting here in Huntsville, Alabama! Be back as soon as the all clear sounds!

Re: Dirty (2:26pm May 22, 2011):

Jane, it's a wonderful feeling to be in control of offering better prices! I wish we could do that with gasoline and groceries!

Re: Dirty (2:23pm May 22, 2011):

Bill, I worried about the title just a little. I felt strongly that DIRTY was the one. It was right on several levels for Jackie's debut!

Re: Dirty (2:18pm May 22, 2011):

Thank you so much, Robin!

Re: Dirty (1:39pm May 22, 2011):

Thanks, Robin! I have so much trouble planned for Jackie and Dawson!

Re: Dirty (1:25pm May 22, 2011):

Well said, Cathy!

Re: Dirty (1:21pm May 22, 2011):

You are absolutely correct, Carol. Lots of great books get passed on because they don't fit the right marketing niche or the publisher doesn't want to take the risk on something outside the box.

Re: Dirty (1:15pm May 22, 2011):

GS, thanks! I really wanted the true focus of the Jackie Mercer series to be on the characters. I hope I've achieved that goal!

Re: Dirty (1:14pm May 22, 2011):

Renee, thank you! I am so excited about Jackie Mercer. I loved writing her. And Dawson, I just love him to death!

Re: Dirty (1:13pm May 22, 2011):

Thanks, Jeanne! I love doing my Colby Agency for Intrigue!

Re: Dirty (10:34am May 22, 2011):

Nan, determination is the key!

Re: Dirty (10:34am May 22, 2011):

Tammy, thank you so much! I hope you enjoy Jackie's first adventure--one of many I hope!

Re: Dirty (10:33am May 22, 2011):

Thanks for chiming in, Leanna and Timothy!

Re: Dirty (9:44am May 22, 2011):

Good point, Lisa!

Re: Dirty (9:43am May 22, 2011):

Pam, you nailed it. Sometimes a story or writing style doesn't fit what a publisher is looking for but that doesn't mean the story (or the author) isn't fantastic. I love that this opportunity is so accessible. It's just awesome!

Re: Dirty (9:39am May 22, 2011):

Silvana, I love that motto! Every time I start to feel uncertain about my career I am going to remember this! Thank you!

Re: Dirty (9:37am May 22, 2011):

Sara, thank you again for this opportunity! Fresh Fiction is the place to be!

Re: Dirty (9:35am May 22, 2011):

Mary, thank you, thank you!

Re: Dirty (9:34am May 22, 2011):

April and Shelly, I feel the same. I've never paid attention to the publisher's name when picking up a book. As a reader that doesn't matter to me. But the writer in me isn't always so confident! Thanks for the reassurance!

Re: Dirty (9:31am May 22, 2011):

Thanks so much, Peggy!

Re: Dirty (9:22am May 22, 2011):

Mary and Frances, you are exactly right! A great story is the key!

Re: Everywhere She Turns (9:19am July 13, 2009):

Tami! Thank you! I love, love writing the stories.

Re: Everywhere She Turns (10:03am July 10, 2009):

Roberta, I totally understand. Everyone's finances are tight right now. Thanks!

Re: Everywhere She Turns (10:02am July 10, 2009):

Patsy, thank you so much. I hope you'll enjoy whichever book you pick!

Re: Everywhere She Turns (10:52am July 6, 2009):

Emmanuelle, thank you! I hope you enjoy it. Please email me and let me know!

Re: Everywhere She Turns (10:52am July 6, 2009):

Christy, how amazing that you've been through so much and still feel blessed. You are a true inspiration!

Re: Everywhere She Turns (10:50am July 6, 2009):

Elaine, you are so right. Friends and relatives are more important! We do the "list" too!

Re: Everywhere She Turns (10:49am July 6, 2009):

Donna, excellent savings advice! Combining errands is my new favorite thing for saving gas!

Re: Everywhere She Turns (1:45pm July 5, 2009):

Sarah, that is such an honorable sacrifice. I worked much of my first daughter's younger years, but was self-employed for most of my second daughter's and let me tell you there is nothing more precious than the time with our children. I wish I had been able to be at home more with my first. Cheers to you!

Re: Everywhere She Turns (1:42pm July 5, 2009):

Vikki, you got it exactly right. We live in such a "right now" society. Most have no appreciation for delayed gratification. When I was a kid birthdays and Christmas were wondrous events to look forward to. Now it's Christmas every day for far too many.

Re: Everywhere She Turns (1:40pm July 5, 2009):

Mary, your parents were extremely smart people. I grew up on a farm and we were very poor by most any standards. We didn't have all the games and such that kids have now, but we always had stories. Though there was no library near by, we would sit around on the porch and make up stories to entertain ourselves. My grandmother was a marvelous storyteller!

Re: Everywhere She Turns (1:38pm July 5, 2009):

Rebecca, thank you so very much. That's such an honor. I truly do love writing the Colby stories. Bless your heart for continuing to buy the books despite your personal hardship. I know a little something about physical challenges. My oldest daughter was born with a debilitating physical challenge. She is 33 now and there is not a day that she doesn't defy that handicap! She is determined to live her life in spite of it. But it is very difficult and I sincerely understand what a person goes through when the simplest chore becomes a near overwhelming obstacle.

Re: Everywhere She Turns (1:33pm July 5, 2009):

Jackie! Wow! What an amazing journey. Best of luck in all your ventures!

Re: Everywhere She Turns (1:32pm July 5, 2009):

Susan, I love soup! My husband and I are always looking for new recipes to try. It is a lot less expensive than trying to plan a three-course meal.

Re: Everywhere She Turns (1:30pm July 5, 2009):

Ellen! Good for you! Keep buying those books. I'm with you about the clothes. Only I keep putting off buying new ones because I want to lose weight.

Re: Everywhere She Turns (10:28pm July 4, 2009):

Sandy, many, many books is good! As I'm finally unpacking my "stuff" from my bigger house to settle into the smaller one we've just renovated, I can't believe how much "stuff" I bought that I could have done without!

Re: Everywhere She Turns (10:26pm July 4, 2009):

Carrie, thanks for the story. It never ceases to amaze me how much we can "mindlessly" spend!

Re: Everywhere She Turns (9:55pm July 4, 2009):

Sigrun, I hear you! All we can do is be prepared to the best of our ability.

Re: Everywhere She Turns (7:56pm July 4, 2009):

Alyson, agreed! Never give up the day job until you're deep into a secure financial situation.

Re: Everywhere She Turns (7:54pm July 4, 2009):

Larena,
Thanks! If I can help prevent anyone else going through a "hard" time I'm happy to share!

Re: Everywhere She Turns (7:53pm July 4, 2009):

Hey Sandi! What a story! I do the same thing at the grocery store!

Re: Everywhere She Turns (1:51pm July 4, 2009):

Jane, that is something to be thankful for. I feel blessed to have a roof over my head and food on the table. Everything else is gravy!

Re: Everywhere She Turns (1:49pm July 4, 2009):

Kathy, you're absolutely right reading a good book is a perfect and inexpensive escape! Good luck!

Re: Everywhere She Turns (11:46am July 4, 2009):

Karin! Can you hear the applause? I agree wholeheartedly, wait until you can truly afford to buy it. Sometimes that's difficult when it comes to a car or house but buy within your means and always factor in the what-if-everything-goes-to-$h!+ element!

Re: Everywhere She Turns (11:18am July 4, 2009):

Melissa, you're so right. I know this is a very difficult time for you and many, many others. It took me two years to pull it back together after facing the reality of living beyond what my true financial expectations should have been. A wake up call for sure! Good luck and hang in there! We will survive!

Re: Everywhere She Turns (11:16am July 4, 2009):

Kara, yay! Thanks for the wonderful compliment! I hope you enjoy Everywhere She Turns!

Re: Everywhere She Turns (11:15am July 4, 2009):

Indigo! Wow! What a story. I'm so glad you took the risk. If writing is your love, it's hard to say no! I have a heroine, Merrilee Walters, I created in my Silent series for Bombshell who went deaf in her mid-twenties. I loved writing her and showing the challenge of pursuing life without the aid of sound.

Re: Everywhere She Turns (11:11am July 4, 2009):

Susan, thanks for stopping by! I'm so glad you're enjoying the books!

Re: Everywhere She Turns (10:02am July 4, 2009):

Patricia, I'm so glad you're enjoying the Colby Agency. Books 32, 33, 34, 35 and 36 come out this year! Don't miss the November HQN, NASCAR Holiday. It's a Colby story too! Enjoy your reunions!

Re: Everywhere She Turns (10:00am July 4, 2009):

Martha! Hey! Great to hear from you! Wow, the book is in Wal-Mart? That's great to know. I wasn't sure!

Re: Secrets In Four Corners (2:31am January 18, 2009):

Patricia,
We had a house like that when I was a kid. My brother and I NEVER went in the basement or to the unfinished upstairs alone and NEVER, EVER after dark! It was just too creepy. Imagination, maybe.

Re: Secrets In Four Corners (1:35pm January 16, 2009):

Roberta, Thanks for dropping by just the same! It's wonderful to hear from you!

Re: Secrets In Four Corners (11:59am January 16, 2009):

Val, that's wild! Thank goodness you got away safely. That has to be the scariest part of being a parent. You see in the news where children are lured in like that. Makes me shiver!

Re: Secrets In Four Corners (11:56am January 16, 2009):

Audrey, wow! What great stories. As a kid I was terrified of getting pushed under the water.
