Re: Deadly Intent (12:51pm November 14, 2010):

I share you're love for mystery/suspense
with romance. Hope you all get a chance
to read Deadly Intent!

Re: Deadly Intent (8:40pm November 11, 2010):

I don't do the picking but good luck to
you all :)

Re: Deadly Intent (8:32am November 11, 2010):

So many great characters mentioned!
Some make me nod my head in
agreement. For others I jot down books
to try! So thanks for the
recommendations!

Re: Deadly Intent (3:42pm November 10, 2010):

Lots of good examples of unforgettable characters! I'm a sucker for a recurring character, too.

Re: Deadly Intent (12:31pm November 10, 2010):

I enjoy series with a recurring character. He/she must be unique and memorable enough to keep me coming back for more!

Re: Deadly Intent (9:27am November 10, 2010):

Before I became a writer, I tended to 'rewrite' stories in my mind to make the characters do what I thought they should, or to improve the ending, LOL. The characters that stay with me are the ones I don't want to let go of!

Re: Waking Nightmare (10:59pm July 22, 2009):

Patricia--I feel for you. Keep trying--those kids need the programs you offer!

Re: Waking Nightmare (10:31pm July 22, 2009):

Debra, you can start with my desk, LOL. My husband considers any flat surface in the house to be a personal challenge--how high can he pile it!

G. Bisbjerg--don't you wonder how people came by those jobs? How did they ever know they were even around to apply for? I could do that. I'll sacrifice along with you :)

Evelyn--you deserve a break! Hope you take it!

Re: Waking Nightmare (6:25pm July 22, 2009):

Gail and Sue, a bookstore does sound wonderful. But I would only want employees that are as passionate about books as I am. No 'this is just a job to me' people need apply!

Re: Waking Nightmare (5:30pm July 22, 2009):

Margorie, any distraction from my writing is a welcome one, LOL!

Re: Waking Nightmare (4:14pm July 22, 2009):

Josie, I know I sometimes felt like a chef when my five kids were at home. But the Powerball winner doesn't sound bad!

Jane, I always wondered who they got for those jobs? Someone has to do it!

Carolyn, that sounds like a nice little shop. But you're right, yikes, in this economy any type of small business sounds risky doesn't it?

Re: Waking Nightmare (1:50pm July 22, 2009):

Tabatha, when I'm stuck it often helps me to get out and walk. I walk four miles a day several times a week and rarely do I take my iPod. It's my time to think through plot snarls and smooth out the next scene.

Donna-we stopped at the info desk in the Reagan airport and the man there had his dog with him. We were surprised and asked how he got away with that. He said simply, "I never asked permission." LOL!

Sandi, my other job is teaching so August is approaching a little too fast for me! But I'm a handful of years a way from qualifying for early retirement and I wonder if I'm going to be able to walk away from it....

Re: Waking Nightmare (1:07pm July 22, 2009):

Roberta, you're hired :) My pet peeve at galley stage is seeing all the word repeats I have--drives me crazy that I missed them in copy edits!

Kelli--I'll admit it...I spend my share of time dreaming of the lottery. Now if I could just remember to buy the tickets...!

Sherry, owning a bookstore sounds like heaven. Then I could promote the books I felt strongly about as well as read to my heart's content!

Re: Waking Nightmare (12:27pm July 22, 2009):

Dawn, I swear writers have a battery life and need to be recharged at regular intervals, LOL! At least that's how I explain it to my husband!

Re: Waking Nightmare (11:56am July 22, 2009):

Karin, you never know--everything is material to a writer, LOL!

Debra, I could certainly use an assistant! Just someone to keep my desk de-junked would be a huge help!

Anne, I just saw a cat in need of your help on my walk today. I'm always saddened by how many seem to live outdoors in the wild.

LuAnn and Jo--that sounds like a plan! And a well-thought out one at that!

Vikki--anything with a beach and I'm there!

Re: Waking Nightmare (11:53am July 22, 2009):

Sarah and Breia, I think you're both on the right track! That's something I'd love doing when I retire from teaching (but still writing). Being a reviewer would give me a reason to *have* to make time for reading again!

Re: Waking Nightmare (9:49am July 22, 2009):

Thanks, Pat! People like you make it all worthwhile :)

Donna, ooh like costuming and make up. That might be fun. Now if I could just learn to apply my own makeup evenly, I'd be on my way, LOL!

Stacey, book 2 (Waking Evil) has a tiny supernatural aspect to it and I LOVED that research. Very intriguing!

Thanks, Joanne :) If all goes well today I'll be back at it!

Sandy and Diane, retirement does sound good some days. But mostly I'd just like to retire from one of my jobs and write full time. A bookstore--now why didn't I think of that????

Maureen, I've long been a proponent of three day weekends, LOL!
