Thanks, my dear 8's :-)I have always said that at most I can only do half of the work. I can write the book. But it doesn't come to life until a reader reads it. That's the connection we make - that's what we share -- and I'm so glad to be sharing it all with you!!

Confession - Lynn, I've done it. I have eaten unsweetened chocolate to assuage my addiction. And OMG 88% - wow.

Re: Breaking Loose (4:53pm August 13, 2009):

Wow! - thanks, a bunch of 8's in a row. And a big grin for Theresa - one time I got a letter from a reader, who after reading a Christian and Katya love scene in CRAZY COOL, put the kids to bed and dragged her hubby out to the minivan :-) I LOVED that letter :-)

You all know I'm grinning :-) thanks for all inside scoop, girls - inside the car scoops! Mmmm, a Malted Milk chocolate bar - oh, gosh, I wish. I used to be able to get dark chocolate covered malted milk balls, but can't find them anymore. and Anne, about those covers - you can tell they tried a few things with the covers, and the ones that were published weren't the original ones they had for HOT and COOL. Those were really awesome, and now I wished they'd stuck with them. We got to see Quinn reflected in a rearview mirror.

For Sigrun, a word I love - chatoyant. I used it in THE CHALICE AND THE BLADE, written as Glenna McReynolds. A special hug for Shawna, for loving the Crazy/Loose books - you're a real number 8 on the list :-) and gee, Mary, was that an FJ Cruiser?? Inquiring minds want to know!

Dear Christine - welcome to the fold! I remember my first romance novel, a Harlequin Presents by Anne Mather - it changed my life. I read it, entranced, and thought "Gee, if people want to read stories like this, I could be a writer, because I would love to write stories like this one." Good luck to you and everyone in the contest!

okay, sweeties, we're all up pretty darn late!! Margay, you are sooo right - all the really hot stuff is in the build up. I thought about that when I read the blog again, and a lot of that stuff, the heartbreaking "I'm so in love and don't know what to do next" stuff does take place in a car in BREAKING LOOSE. I've got a particular scene in mind - just tore me up writing it.
