Re: Killer Characters (11:50pm May 27, 2017):

Love this series but I'm a bit behind. Would love to win the latest - Killer Characters.

Re: Billionaire Blend (9:24am August 27, 2014):

Terrific series, wonderful stories and characters, yummy recipes. All this and a super Coffeehouse newsletter. What's not to love?!?

Re: Billionaire Blend (4:33pm December 3, 2013):

Fantastic coffee, fantastic recipes, and most important - fantastic books! Thank you so much for all 3.

Re: Buried In A Bog (2:10pm March 17, 2013):

I've never been but I'd love to go to a pub! I think this greatgrannie would be welcomed there!

Re: Holiday Buzz (9:21am December 4, 2012):

Your books are wonderful! Great stories, great characters and great recipes.

Re: Losing Control (8:07am October 24, 2012):

A family linked series is good reading! Debbie Macomber does a wonderful job with her series.

Re: Until My Soul Gets It Right (5:05am September 30, 2012):

I don't belong to a book club but spent many enjoyable hours discussing books with my mother from the 50s through the 90s. We often traded books and liked many of the same authors.

Re: A Home For Nobody's Princess (9:10am September 25, 2012):

Home is where ever you're welcomed and the memories are good.

Re: Death Where The Bad Rocks Live (4:05am September 2, 2012):

Sounds like a fascinating read - and, no, I don't think you're a lazy writer. You just have too much "stuff" in your head!

Re: The Attenbury Emeralds (3:40am February 18, 2011):

HARRIET VANE

Re: Wild Man Creek (12:17pm January 29, 2011):

THE SWEETNESS OF HONEY

Re: The Sweethearts' Knitting Club (2:22pm December 3, 2009):

SAVING ALLEGHENY GREEN. This was the first book of Lori's that I read, which turned me into a BIG fan of hers!

Re: Trust Me (1:03pm August 14, 2009):

Fun blog! I find myself grinning foolishly as I recall times when my work/project/accomplishment was up for approval and I was terrified for an instant on how it would be received. Sort of a mini panic attack/nerves. And life goes on!

Re: Whispers of the Dead (4:12pm August 12, 2009):

Had to laugh at your prep comments since I hate having my photo taken.

Re: Face Time (2:16pm July 28, 2009):

My mother and I were always close. I still pick up the phone now and then to call her - and she's been gone for 10 years.

Re: Divorced, Desperate and Deceived (1:58pm July 21, 2009):

What a fun interview! Putting you on my TBR list - at the top!

Re: By Hook Or By Crook (9:55am July 13, 2009):

Your books sound great! I haven't crocheted for 40 years - may have to get out my hooks and use up some of that yarn tucked away in the upstairs closet.

Re: Dial Emmy For Murder (10:27am June 20, 2009):

Interesting writing with a partner across country! I can't imagine doing that and keeping my sanity. :)
Your books sound like great reads.

Re: Jump (8:33am June 18, 2009):

If the relationships don't work, neither does the book! JUMP sounds like a terrific read.

Re: The Texas Twins (9:41pm June 9, 2009):

I'm a puzzle fanatic, too. I usually do 2 (1000 pieces) a week.

Re: Final Approach (7:24pm June 8, 2009):

1 & 10. I've been known to still be reading when everyone else was getting up in the morning! Good thing I'm now retired and can nap in the mornings/afternoons/any time.

Re: How To Seduce A Texan (3:02pm June 4, 2009):

What a fun blog - and great way to find out more about you! Will have to check out American Dreamer - reviews look good.

Re: A Thread Of Truth (9:44am May 29, 2009):

Your books sound terrific!

Re: Beneath Bone Lake (3:11pm May 28, 2009):

I'm not afraid of the creepie crawlies - just don't like them! Especially the centipedes....yuck!

Re: Killer Keepsakes (11:42am April 21, 2009):

However you do it, you do it so well! Looking forward to Killer Keepsakes.

Re: Take Me Two Times (11:09am April 20, 2009):

I love Romantic Suspense! Do you keep a chart of your characters?

Re: Last Gasp (1:20pm April 9, 2009):

I read some of those years ago, too. Love the cookbook comment.

Re: The Inn at Eagle Point (12:08pm March 31, 2009):

Looking forward to reading all about the O'Briens!

Re: Lords Of Corruption (2:06pm March 26, 2009):

I've just added both of your books to my TBR list. I have no intentions of ever going to South Africa but enjoy lving your adventures vicariously.

Re: Evil In Carnations (1:01am March 20, 2009):

Hi Kate. I'm so glad that you've recouped so wonderfully. Those boring days are so much better than the tumultuous ones. Love your books!

Re: Sophie's Secret (4:09pm March 19, 2009):

I love the idea of all the proceeds from More Than Words go to charities.

Re: Barbie & the Beast (12:56pm March 18, 2009):

Your book sounds like such fun! I never had a Barbie because I was in college when she was born. My 3 kids are boys and had GIJoes (no Kens) although I have bought many Barbies for my grand/greatgranddaughters!

Re: Simple Wishes (12:03pm March 11, 2009):

Sounds like a great read! Enjoyed reading about your jobs to subsidize your love of writing (tomato picker.)

Re: Germania (2:15pm February 21, 2009):

Fascinating~!!

Re: Secret Fantasy (11:48am February 14, 2009):

Great blog - love your books. Happy Valentine's Day.

Re: A Lie For A Lie (10:52am February 6, 2009):

Catchy title! Love that you got rid of a reality show judge.
