Re: The Vampire Next Door (1:17am August 15, 2011):

On my TBR list!

Re: Making Waves (1:16am August 9, 2011):

Anything with The Rock and possibly Gerard Butler in it is
going to get my attention!!!

Re: Midnight Fear (12:35pm August 7, 2011):

It isn't brave if you aren't scared.... (Bounce)

Re: Pleating for Mercy (1:57pm August 5, 2011):

Reading. Period.... lol.

Re: Too Hot To Touch (12:27pm August 3, 2011):

Shaun Cassidy or Leif Garret... it was the 70's, so shoot me!

Re: The Marked Son (1:45pm July 31, 2011):

This sounds like a great read!!

Re: What A Goddess Wants (2:59pm July 28, 2011):

But I would trade my life for anyone else's in the world.
Just don't look under my carpets.--- Am I right in assuming
you meant "I would NOT trade"? Or is that a Freudian slip?
LOL!! I kid! Being a mother, mate, employee and the mile
long list of things that just motherhood requires is
exhausting but it makes us superior to the men!

Re: The Genesis Key (2:55pm July 28, 2011):

I have mixed feelings about living a LONG time. It is a
bittersweet concept.

Re: Hold Me (1:01pm July 25, 2011):

Um, maybe you could write about YOUR life? I'd so read it!
"Lucianne Rivers writes sensual romance for Entangled
Publishing and Cobblestone Press. Born and raised in
Ireland, she currently lives in New Mexico with her young
daughter. Formerly a stage and television actress, she now
manages a non-profit and is NM State Champion in her weight
class for Olympic-style weightlifting. Long story."
I'd like to read that long story!!

Re: Undead And Undermined (1:21pm July 22, 2011):

"Wow, MJD sure likes to whine about problems that aren't
really problems" LOL.... I kid! Look at it this way... only
2 more Twilight movies left to release and the books are
done. Hold out another year and a half and you will be free,
but remember... you might just miss what all that extra
publicity brought to the table!! Or... not. LOL!!

Re: Touch If You Dare (2:06am July 21, 2011):

#'s 6, 7 and 8 are all I need in a hero!!! The rest is just a
bonus!

Re: In The Heat Of The Bite (2:35pm July 19, 2011):

My favorite secondary characters are of course the Harry
Potter clan and The Dark Tower bunch (Eddie, Jake, Susannah
and Oy)!!! I think they are what they are because of the group
dynamic. I might not love them as much alone!!

Re: Night Walker (1:51pm July 18, 2011):

I think the notion is romantic but in the end I am not sure I
would want to see everyone I have ever loved pass. It would
destroy me.

Re: A Spark of Death (1:55am July 15, 2011):

I'm REALLY liking the cover!!

Re: When One Night Isn't Enough (5:23pm July 14, 2011):

Do you have an Internet addiction? I would say no because I
would rather be WITH people then just the online
interaction. I go to three site over and over and it's
purely boredom based!
Are you in need of an intervention, like me? No, I am in
need of friends and a job...lol!
If you checked out my excerpt, did you like it? Good stuff!
Are you going to make me a happy newly published author by
positively affecting my numbers? Will tweeting help???

Re: The Crepe Makers' Bond (5:31pm July 13, 2011):

The question is, what have you decided you are? WISE
Is the characteristic self-created or real? REAL
When did you assign yourself this feature? Once my children
were grown I realized this and that I have always been wise
to some degree.
My friends and family mostly agree. Some just don't
understand the difference between wise (life) and smart
(books/educated).

Re: Break Out (3:11am July 4, 2011):

I love the idea and LOVED Firefly so it's all good to me!!

Re: Wild and Unruly (10:13pm June 30, 2011):

The Gunslinger (Dark Tower Series) is my favorite T/T series.
I think I would do it if I could too! I love the idea of
seeing that which has only been read!

Re: Fallen (12:06pm June 29, 2011):

This is why I wanted to be a cop so bad when I was younger. I
ended up having kids instead... which can be a rush and scary
too!! I still think about it though.

Re: Dying For Justice (1:30pm June 28, 2011):

Oooops. Forgot to add that I like to read about people who
overcome the limbo stage and their struggle through it (as
long as they have a sense of humor!).

Re: Dying For Justice (1:29pm June 28, 2011):

I fear going insane and disconnecting, drowning, burning and
never getting out of this limbo stage of my life....

Re: Night Veil (1:17am June 27, 2011):

Batman... all that dark leather....

Re: The Dark Enquiry (12:54pm June 26, 2011):

Almost makes me wish I'd been around to discover some of it...
must have been somethin'!

Re: Missing Persons (12:29pm June 25, 2011):

What each of us is actually capable of is a mystery until the
moment we are challenged/pushed into action... People do scary
things out of desperation and emotional turmoil...Even really
'good' people.....

Re: Demons Prefer Blondes (11:48am June 20, 2011):

After 3 divorces and a 13 year relationship that is
unraveling as we speak I am finally "getting" the Romance
craze. I am not a romantic and I don't like sickly sweet and
over processed words much but I do like kind gestures,
stability and laughter and I am just discovering that you
can find that in some Romance novels. Adventure is always a
plus too. Let's just say that I am a little bit more open
minded today with my reading and it's a good thing!!

Re: Under a Desert Sky (1:50pm June 18, 2011):

It means peace and security. Trust and balance. It means
sleeping well at night because you have faith in 'it' and you
know all will be well....

Re: The Lost Summer Of Louisa May Alcott (1:37pm June 16, 2011):

Looks good!

Re: Blood Of The Wicked (2:00pm June 13, 2011):

I grew up with a Gypsy grandmother so yes, I believe in a lot
of stuff but mainly because I have experienced my own fair
share of intuitive dreams, moments and thoughts. I am an
Empath too so there that to add to the mix. And I am super
hard on watches.

Re: Angel Sister (10:23pm March 18, 2011):

Sounds good!!

Re: Animal Magnetism (1:45pm March 6, 2011):

I am from Oceanside California... home of Camp Pen. I've seen
a gazillion men like this and married a few too...lol! Ain't
nothin' like a man in uniform.

Re: Animal Magnetism (1:45pm March 6, 2011):

I am from Oceanside California... home of Camp Pen. I've seen
a gazillion men like this and married a few too...lol! Ain't
nothin' like a man in uniform.

Re: His, Unexpectedly (1:23pm February 25, 2011):

I miss road trips. They can be the glue that holds a
relationship together (if you aren't the fight non-stop kind
of couple)! But with gas soaring over the last few years (and
soon to hit $5 a gallon again) we just kind of stopped doing
them. (heavy sigh)

Re: Burning Darkness (1:46am January 31, 2011):

Oh my... anything against a child, rape and incest. Beyond
those anything goes depending on the motive and such.

Re: The Fire In Ember (3:20pm January 10, 2011):

I just kind of fell in love with the picture of that leather
journal.....

Re: I Dream of Genies (1:14pm January 6, 2011):

Genis. Finally a new character/subject to read! Can't wait!!!

Re: Real Vampires Have More To Love (2:15pm January 4, 2011):

PLAY THE FIELD.... I know somewhere in me lies a total freak so I am going for the field...lol. Plus, it is a total opposite of my current life and being with the same person for 12 years...

Re: Against The Wind (2:12pm January 4, 2011):

I love trilogies but I have to admit I have not read yours as of yet!!

Re: Deadly Identity (8:48pm December 30, 2010):

I really want to write. Beyond that I am lost. LOL.

Re: Red Ink (3:26pm December 29, 2010):

Happy Holidays! I hope someone bans the Ugg Boots spammer soon too. Kind of sick of seeing it on every blog.

Re: Cowboys Never Cry (3:24pm December 29, 2010):

We will see ourselves in the characters in some form since we all want to feel understood and affirmed. Bits and pieces. It's what makes us keep reading sometimes. Those bits and pieces we can relate too.
Happy Holidays!!

Re: Haunted Honeymoon (1:35pm December 27, 2010):

Any Harry Potter book or Dark Tower books 1-3 or, and I say this with a little embarrassment as I am 44... Twilight. These books take me far away and they each connect with a different person in me that needs feeding on occasion.

Re: Double Cross (6:01pm December 22, 2010):

OK, my entire life has been one big Murphy's Law episode. I MUST READ THIS BOOK. BTW, what was that terribly depressing book you read? Any hints?

My power would be...ummm. I don't know. My issues are affirmation (real affirmation and not that cr@p people dish out just because it is expected of them)and security. How would those turn into powers????

Re: Precious and Fragile Things (3:47pm December 17, 2010):

Adding to my TBR list!!

Re: Wolf Fever (1:28pm December 15, 2010):

Sleep. A lot of sleep. Oh, and a big pile of 80's movies on DVD.

Re: Icecapade (1:16pm December 13, 2010):

I don't find it mysterious at all. I do however find breaking it down fascinating. The whys that is... For the romances that last there are a lot more layers to get under and deeper holes to dig down to get to the heart of it (no pun intended).
For the shorter ones it more obvious...lol.

Re: Twins Under His Tree (2:23am December 11, 2010):

Definitely on my TBR list now!!

Re: Beneath The Thirteen Moons (2:18am December 11, 2010):

This sounds kinda bizarre... which is right down my alley!!!

Re: What I Did For Love (2:15am December 11, 2010):

Sounds pretty damn great to me!!!

Re: Unguarded (2:13am December 11, 2010):

Erin Kellison, Beth Fantaskey, Tate Halloway and on and on... I have read a ton of new authors (to me)books this year!! I find it lovely!!

Re: Rajmund (11:04am December 6, 2010):

Finally. I can't wait to start reading your work. It sounds... REFRESHING (in a 'that's bad but oh so good' way)!!

Re: Sparks (1:00pm December 3, 2010):

I'd like a familiar of my own... a rat or an owl maybe. One of those small owls, or maybe one of each??? LOL!

Re: Second Chances (2:43pm December 1, 2010):

What do you think about second chances in romance? Have any favorites to recommend?
I am a firm believer in never looking back where relationships are concerned (romantic). Of course, if it has been decades then I say give it a second try. People are capable of growth, but it takes time and distance.

As for books... they always make the break ups and make ups seem easy. They rarely (if ever) REALLY get down to the emotions involved.

Re: Gemini Night (1:23pm November 27, 2010):

I think I have found new books to focus on winning!! I WILL win this series. I will. Somewhere, somehow, some way....lol!!
And thanks for the great info. It's going in my "someday you will write" folder!

Re: Motor City Witch (2:15pm November 26, 2010):

Sounds good to me!! I wonder who I would put where in the areas I grew up in.... hmmm.

Thank you!

Re: Holiday Sparks (1:15pm November 24, 2010):

I just like it when an author captures that bright shiney and new feeling you get in a new relationship. If they can capture that I'm in!

Re: Dating Mr. December (1:26pm November 22, 2010):

The future and possibility inspire me. Also, those days when a stranger is kind or someone smiles or holds your door or says 'thank you' when you have had a really crappy day, and suddenly you feel better. You feel hopeful again.

Re: The Taming Of The Wolf (2:49pm November 19, 2010):

I like them both. Vamps and Weres. I suppose you can have one for winter and one for summer.... best of both worlds.

Re: Swift Justice (2:23pm November 17, 2010):

I am a mutt of personalities. I shop only online because I hate malls. I love the cooking/food part but hate the process of clean up and juggling one oven. I decorate just enough and everyone is invited. I envy those Martha Stewarts out there though. That picture perfect image always just kills me....

Re: Honky Tonk Christmas (2:17pm November 17, 2010):

I am a punk era gal myself but after 2 Marines in my life I have a secret love for Garth Brookes. Don't tell anyone...lol.

Re: The Forever Queen (1:29am November 12, 2010):

Not a big history fan but maybe THIS book will change that???

Re: Deadly Intent (8:54pm November 10, 2010):

This one is EASY!!! Roland from The Dark Tower Series. Eddie too. These men became friends to me.

Re: The Snow Globe (8:35pm November 3, 2010):

The first time I laid in bed with either of my newborn children. All that love and possibility. That moment you realize you never ever knew how deeply you could love someone. Oh the fierceness of that love!!

Re: Holiday Affair (12:51pm November 1, 2010):

I am all about the cooking on Christmas. It is my way of loving my family and in that they always look forward to the meal because of the love. I do however stay in my p.j.'s as long as I can!!!

Re: Pinned for Murder (3:34am October 26, 2010):

It's great to hear your 'process'. I have always wondered how each authors characters 'came to be'. Maybe someday someone will write a whole book on different authors and their processes. I can dream.
Thanks!!!

Re: A Darcy Christmas (2:44pm October 22, 2010):

Laura Ingalls Wilder... I loved her.

Re: Twilight Hunger (2:40pm October 22, 2010):

Haven't read any of your books yet! Looking forward to it though!

Re: The Making of a Gentleman (1:21am October 20, 2010):

So here is a question... has anyone ever said, "you got that all wrong"? I mean about England...lol! How do you write about a time and place you have never seen or experienced???

Re: Highland Hellcat (10:39pm October 15, 2010):

If it is cold I love Earl Grey tea, espresso or coffee. If it is warm I love water, Coke (NOT Pepsi) and Starbucks passion iced tea! YUM!!
