Re: Homefront Hero (10:54pm April 25, 2012):

Wow...we're a diverse bunch when it comes to heroes. Great comments!

Re: Homefront Hero (1:29pm April 25, 2012):

Each of these has great qualities. Laurie, I love your idea of "a protector of the
wounded in heart,"--that's a perfect way to put it. Karen, I agree; no spineless
heroes for me, either. Strength and character (and yes, it helps if he's easy on
the eyes) seem to be everyone's touchpoints for a good hero.

Re: Falling For The Fireman (12:48pm January 25, 2012):

Wow--firemen ARE heroes is pretty much a universal truth! Wouldn't it be fun if
we could show this post to firemen everywhere? Boost their spirits and show
them how much women admire them? I wish there was a way. Hopefully, my
book (and others like it) will do a little bit of that. Thanks for all the wonderful
comments...this has been loads of fun.

Re: Falling For The Fireman (1:06pm January 24, 2012):

Such great stories of families and neighbors of firefighter heroes! Thanks for
sharing how important these brave men (and women) are to our communities.

Re: Falling For The Fireman (11:08am January 24, 2012):

I think you've all seen it: heroism--true heroism--is a rare quality these days.
We're drawn to it deep down. Somewhere inside we recognize the difference
between a "celebrity" and a "hero" don't you think? It's been very satisfying to
know I'm giving fire fighters the kudos they deserve...I do hope I got the
details right. The best part? There'll be more! We're in talks for at least two
more Gordon Falls Fire Department books so stay tuned.

Re: Yukon Wedding (5:45pm March 28, 2011):

Wow, these are all great ideas (except for the horror stories of bodies in walls!).
It is kind of fun to think about what you'd do with a treasure, isn't it? I like the
idea of wearing it on my fingers--safe in plain sight. Keep up with more ideas!

Re: Easter Promises (11:31pm February 24, 2010):

These are so fun to read. I've always
maintained knitters are readers and
readers are knitters, but it seems
readers are also crocheters,
seamstresses, and gardeners. I'm
waiting to meet the reader-
chocolatier...there's a combo I'd enjoy!

Re: Bluegrass Christmas (2:14pm September 28, 2009):

Can a oddity be redeemed? Actually, I
believe it can. Helping a character--
or just those who relate to that
character--discover the virtue behind
the vice is key. The domineering
person can be redeemed to someone
who protects. But it takes a major
crisis to create that kind of character
change. That's why I usually strike the
balance toward quirky with my
sympathetic characters, but I can let
the darker side of my villains come
out.

Re: Bluegrass Blessings (10:17pm July 16, 2009):

I agree--the laugh books are what I turn
to when times feel challenging. There
are times when I want a good cry, but I'd
much rather laugh. Even laughter
through tears.
