Hi Jean! I'm hoping to go to CA in the next year or two to visit family, I'll have to check out the places you mention.

Hi Ivy! I totally agree. I'd move to Scotland in a second, if I could!

Hi Everyone! Thanks so much for stopping by. There are so many wonderful places I've visited. I could talk travel all day. A few months ago we went to St. Augustine in Florida. I had no idea we had places that old here! You can totally imagine pirates walking around. Gettysburg is another place I love to visit. And about 10 years ago we went on a trip to England and Scotland. Wow! Talk about history. I'm hoping to visit again soon. The museums in D.C. are great! And New York is beautiful, although I've never been to the city area. My cousin lives in NY city so I'm hoping to go there sometime soon. I'd love to see China and France!
So many places, so little time...and money. lol

Hi Debra!
I definitely think the disrespect has to do with romance being a "woman's" genre. For centuries, anything that has been thought of as a "woman's" field has always been looked down upon, whether is jobs, hobbies, whatever. Just my thoughts :)

I think the reason why romances are so popular is because these characters oftentimes go through hell, yet in the end love is what keeps them going and really that's what life should be about. All you need is love!

Thanks everyone for stopping by! the computers at fresh fiction will be picking the winners of the books.
I really appreciate you all leaving comments.
And the sticker on the face of the hero is too funny!

A lot of people told me to just leave it, that it didn't matter if they didn't match the cover. But I couldn't, knowing it would bother me too if I read a book that didn't match. So yeah, it was a little annoying but on the positive side, the cover does look good, imo. ;)

Re: Wild Heart (3:57pm December 14, 2009):

Thanks again for stopping by everyone! Obviously authors write because we love it. The hard part is keeping that love alive. lol. sounds like a bad 80s song. But true!

If you're looking for the free ebook, there's a link at the top of my book shelf page on my website. I don't have a cover yet, but should have one soon to go along with it. But to warn you, its a bit spicy and it hasn't been edited by a professional so you'll have to forgive the typos. It's about 15,000 words and my first jump into posting an ebook, so hopefully you all can open it okay.

Hi Everyone! Thanks so much for stopping by!

I didn't mean to imply I didn't like my cover. I do! Just totally shocked me that the coloring was wrong! So, like I said, i decided to go through and change the coloring in my book.

Mary Anne, I completely understand. Sad thing is you think its going to be easier after you're published and its not!

Maureen, yes, you have to love it and I think you have to be a tiny be crazy. lol.

Honestly, I think writing is one of the hardest careers out there. The pay is horrible. You always have to worry about negativity from your editor, agent, readers, reviewers. So yeah, we must be a little bit crazy.

Thanks again for stopping by everyone!

Lorna,
No, I didn't have any say on the blurb, or the cover, or the quote or the title. lol. If I really hated something, I probably would have spoken up. But usually by the time we see the final work, its too late. Which happened with my cover. By the time I saw it and realized the hair was the wrong color, it was too late to change the cover.
I'm currently working on the second book, which will involve a secondary character from the first. I'm about 50 pages from being done and very much looking forward to finishing!

Re: Wild Heart (12:16pm June 29, 2009):

Thanks so much for coming by! You guys are great!
I did luck out with my cover. Even though it was the wrong hair color, it's still beautiful. Authors don't really have a say in their covers so you never know what you'll get.
