Re: Secrets Of A Scandalous Heiress (8:32pm January 6, 2015):

Glad to be here today! Thanks for the chance to share Augusta's terrible advice.
:)

Re: To Charm a Naughty Countess (10:22pm May 22, 2014):

Michelle, I hope someone tells you that all the time. :)

Barbara, those would work for me too. Maybe I need to direct Mr. R to this
thread…

Lynne, knowing that one is missed is really powerful, isn't it?

Cathy, so true! Those words fizzle if the feeling isn't returned.

Lenna, that makes me think of the line from As Good As It Gets: "You make
me want to be a better man." That's pretty much the only part of the movie I
remember (well, that and the fact that Jack Nicholson's character was a
romance novelist), and I think it stuck with me because it was such a powerful
compliment.

Debbie, that is beautiful! Hope you two enjoy many more anniversaries.

Re: To Charm a Naughty Countess (10:18pm May 22, 2014):

L, Sylvia, and GS--so much goodness in just a few words!

Joy, that's so cool! Which book is it? Hope you enjoy. :)

Neicrunel is spam, yet I like the phrase "the clang" between the mutants.
Onomatopoeia!

JK, thank you for getting hold of my books! This is the second Matchmaker
book, but you can read each story on its own/in any order.

Re: To Charm a Naughty Countess (2:42pm May 22, 2014):

Robin, your husband sounds like a very sweet guy.

Tina, sounds like there is quite a story there! Hope it has a great hero.

Peggy, thank you! I love that cover art too. The heroine's mischievous expression
is just perfect.

Quina, have you ever thought of writing romance? :)

Colleen, that's a wonderful compliment! I like to hear that too.

Re: To Charm a Naughty Countess (2:39pm May 22, 2014):

Susan, Denise, and Karen--thank you, and good luck!

Cheryl, sounds like a historical romance hero could win you over. :)

Diane, so true! And in fact, Michael and Caroline become friends first. That's how
they start to trust each other.

Julie, that's always the big moment in a romance. It works for heroines too!

Re: To Charm a Naughty Countess (11:51am May 22, 2014):

HI, everyone--so glad to be visiting Fresh Fiction today to chat about romance
with you! Thanks for stopping by, and for your comments.

Re: It Takes Two To Tangle (8:39pm September 13, 2013):

Hi, Lenna--thanks for stopping by! That's right, you are a fellow lefty, aren't you?
I hope you enjoy the left-handed moments in IT TAKES TWO TO TANGLE. :)

Re: It Takes Two To Tangle (8:37pm September 13, 2013):

Colleen, it does seem like we outgrow nicknames, doesn't it? My family doesn't
call me anything other than my name or "T" anymore. That's certainly ok with
me.

Re: It Takes Two To Tangle (8:36pm September 13, 2013):

Carletta, your name is beautiful! I think I know what you mean, though; as a kid I
wanted a "normal" name too. Maybe you could give yourself a nickname you like?
You could tell new acquaintances, "Please call me Wonder Woman," or whatever
you like. :)

Re: It Takes Two To Tangle (8:34pm September 13, 2013):

Kim, I want a dress like the one on the cover, even though I don't know where I'd
wear it. Maybe for writing? Surely it would help me get into a Regency mood. Do
you own a red dress?

Re: It Takes Two To Tangle (1:50pm September 13, 2013):

Marcelyn/Marcy/Marshy--a flaming marshmallow makes a great image. "Sweet,
but fiery!" Should I ask what you call your husband? :)

Re: It Takes Two To Tangle (1:48pm September 13, 2013):

May, Henry and Frances would think you were lucky. :)

Re: It Takes Two To Tangle (1:47pm September 13, 2013):

Sharon, I agree--the cover is beautiful! My publisher designed it. Both the red
dress and the quill are part of the story; I love that they included those hints.

Re: It Takes Two To Tangle (1:46pm September 13, 2013):

Melanie, ha! Your uncles sound fun. I probably should have been nicknamed
"Noise" too as a little girl.

Re: It Takes Two To Tangle (1:44pm September 13, 2013):

Cherie, they can be fun--like an inside joke with people you love. My husband
and I have always called our daughter "Noodle," and she's still young enough to
like it. :) What's your favorite nickname?

Re: It Takes Two To Tangle (1:42pm September 13, 2013):

Peggy--"some were endearing, and some made me cringe" is a perfect summary
of nicknames for most people. I hope you have only nicknames that you like
now. Thanks for adding IT TAKES TWO TO TANGLE to your TBR list! I love history
too, and I am in awe of the gorgeous cover my publisher created for the book.

Re: It Takes Two To Tangle (1:39pm September 13, 2013):

Laura, none of those men named John had a nickname? Conversations about
family must have gotten confusing. :) How did you like being called Red? (I'm
guessing because of hair color? Red hair is so gorgeous!)

Re: It Takes Two To Tangle (1:37pm September 13, 2013):

Marcia, you made me laugh with your son getting his first and middle name
when he was in trouble. That's how it was for me too. Maybe that's why I've never
been that fond of my middle name? Very cool that your daughter has a name
passed down from earlier generations. Family naming traditions make for such
interesting family history.

Re: It Takes Two To Tangle (1:35pm September 13, 2013):

Chelsea, who first called you Missy Prissy? Someone who likes to play around
with words, I bet!

Re: It Takes Two To Tangle (1:33pm September 13, 2013):

MaryAnne, thank you so much! Ha, there are probably lots of older people who
can't shake their family's nicknames. One man in my family is nicknamed John,
and he'll be called "Johnny" by his siblings until he's 100.

Re: It Takes Two To Tangle (1:31pm September 13, 2013):

Molly W--I love that nickname for Mary! Polly is another, right? Or is Polly a
nickname for Margaret?

Re: His At Night (9:43am May 25, 2010):

HI Sherry - congratulations on HAN
release day! I've loved your first three
and I'm sure this will be another
keeper.

I agree, the little details woven
seamlessly into the story make a
historical period come alive. One
startling fact I learned from Eloisa
James's recent Duchess sextet was
that married Georgian noblewomen
often had male friends/admirers help
them get dressed in the morning. Not
a social ritual most husbands today
would be ok with!
