Re: SEALed with a Ring (10:15am March 6, 2010):
Carol and Wanda, thanks for dropping by.
Good luck in the drawing, everyone.
Re: SEALed with a Ring (10:13am March 6, 2010):
Brenda,how wonderful. While I enjoy
watching the "stars" dance, what I love
is the for-real competitions in which
you see people who have danced
together for years. The deep, physical
rapport they demonstrate makes my
heart sing.
Re: SEALed with a Ring (10:06am March 6, 2010):
Hey Pat and Kara, I'm so glad you
have enjoyed previous books. I am at
work on a forth SEALed book, even as
we speak.
Who knows how long the series will go
on?
Re: SEALed with a Ring (10:01am March 6, 2010):
You know Alyson, I think if more men
understood how much confidence one
can gain from ballroom lessons, they
would be more interested.
Re: SEALed with a Ring (9:54am March 6, 2010):
Rosemary, I don't know about all caution,
but if fear of looking like a fool is keeping
you from your heart's desire, then yes!
Face that fear. Do what you love. Let
yourself look foolish, and do it anyway.
Re: SEALed with a Ring (9:48am March 6, 2010):
Thanks Maude. I'd rather tell a story than
write an essay any time.
Re: SEALed with a Ring (9:42am March 6, 2010):
You know Mary, the student I admired
most was a woman who was terrible.
She knew it and she didn't care. It
didn't come easily to her but she didn't
care how long it would take to become
proficient. She wanted to dance.
I wouldn't do what she did, but by
golly, I had to admire her.
Re: SEALed with a Ring (9:32am March 6, 2010):
I too was reared Baptist, but my parents
believed dancing was harmless, as did
most of the Baptists in my town. What we
didn't have was a ballroom instructor.
Re: SEALed with a Ring (9:23am March 6, 2010):
Stacey, don't worry about it. I think
everyone has pushed send before they
meant to, at least once. SEALed with a
Ring is not your everyday SEAL book. I
hope you'll enjoy it.
Re: SEALed with a Ring (9:17am March 6, 2010):
Jane, the waltz was very much my
favorite. With a skillful partner, it really
does feel as if you could float right off
the floor.
Re: SEALed with a Ring (3:55pm March 5, 2010):
Cherie,
If I remember my research correctly (I
don't always) the rumba originated in
Argentina where it is very free-form
and danced at family parties. At a
certain point, everybody dances from
grandmother down to the tots. Doesn't
that sound wonderful?
Re: SEALed with a Ring (3:43pm March 5, 2010):
So, Sigrun,
You love a wounded hero story, too? So
do I.
Re: SEALed with a Ring (3:40pm March 5, 2010):
Robin and Patsy,
Nobody ever put "She sure looked
foolish" on a tombstone.
Take a couple of introductory dance
lessons. If you hate it, don't do it
anymore, but I would tell anyone not
to let fear of looking foolish keep you
from living.
Re: SEALed with a Ring (3:32pm March 5, 2010):
Jeanne,
Your post made me cry too. What a lovely
memory. Thanks for sharing it.
Re: SEALed with a Ring (3:30pm March 5, 2010):
Amber and Kai,
You both commented on posture. It's
true. Alyosha started every waltz
lesson by "fixing" my posture, and
then stopped and corrected me every
time I lost it.
Truth is both posture and grace are
largely a matter of strength. If you
practice ballroom, you WILL become
strong.
Re: SEALed with a Ring (3:25pm March 5, 2010):
Vikki, that scene was put in at the
insistence of my editor. I was afraid the
book was already too long, but I went
with her suggestion, and I don't think I
ever had more fun writing anything
Re: SEALed with a Ring (3:20pm March 5, 2010):
"Seduction by rumba." Love it, Betty!
Re: SEALed with a Ring (9:41am March 5, 2010):
I'll be around today to answer questions
and respond to comments. Good luck,
everyone!
