Re: Legend Of The Highland Dragon (4:26pm December 6, 2013):

I love hearing about everyone's experiences--definitely bears
out my impression! Hope you like the book!

Re: Legend Of The Highland Dragon (10:16am December 6, 2013):

Thank you all very much!

And I'm with you guys: hardest jobs I've ever had, but they
can be really rewarding too. I really enjoyed getting to
meet all kinds of people--though none of them were dragons.
Or hot Scottish guys, sadly.

Re: Lessons After Dark (10:36am April 7, 2012):

@G. Bisbjerg: Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!
@Lisa and Mary: It's one of the most fun dynamics out there, I think--you get so many layers!
@Sandra: Yay, thank you!

Re: Lessons After Dark (9:33am April 7, 2012):

@Chelsea: Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!
@Peggy: Excellent! Quirky and edgy is actually something I really like; I have the most fun writing when I'm playing around with concepts a little. I hope you enjoy Lessons--and stay warm!
@Mary Anne: Thank you very much!
@Molly: Oh, me too! (My mom's grandparents were Irish, come to think of that...)
@Kai: Good idea--I'll have to see how that works sometime! Though I have to say, this particular curse has worked out pretty well!
@Linda: Thank you!

Re: Lessons After Dark (9:20am April 7, 2012):

@Shirley: That *is* key, isn't it? I've thought about going back myself, from time to time, but dear God, finals week...
@Linda: We totally were! But my college's graduation was something like six hours; keeping ourselves amused was the real final exam.
@Diane: Thank you! It was fun to play around with.
@Mary: So glad to hear you enjoyed No Proper Lady! I hope you like Lessons just as much!
@Maureen: They really are! I was actually raised at boarding schools, too (faculty brat), so a world that doesn't run in semesters is still a little new to me.
@May: Thank you! Thinking up different heroines to write about is one of my favorite parts of being a romance novelist.
@Alyson: Hee! Thanks--I'm good at justification like that. ;)

Re: Lessons After Dark (4:15pm April 6, 2012):

@Pam: Thanks! I like Rowling as well, but Englefield seemed
much more about preparing its students for a specific
purpose.
@Erin: Oh, I'm pretty skeptical myself--but it's fun to
believe sometimes! :)
Glad to hear that you enjoyed No Proper Lady, and thank you
for your comment!

Re: Lessons After Dark (2:28pm April 6, 2012):

@Beth: Oh, for sure. And this one's pretty fun, at that:
academia has a lot of features to explore!
@Lisa: You too, huh? I'd been chatting with some friends
about that myself. It's that sort of instant common ground,
too: no matter how different you are, there's still the
classes/faculty meetings/food to talk about as an intro.
@Sue: It's definitely an advantage, yep!
@Colleen: Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!
@Chelsea: Thanks! The cover art definitely made me squeal a
little when I got it.
@Marjorie: Thank you! Me neither, so far, and that's good to
hear!

Re: Lessons After Dark (9:59am April 6, 2012):

@Tracie: Hee! Yeah, that's my thought. Definitely worked out
pretty well. Perhaps the lesson here is that everyone should
zone out during graduation ceremonies? ;)

@Angie: Yes indeed. It's one of the tropes I really like in
fantasy, so I tend to give it the romance twist and bring it
into my novels.

Thank you all for commenting--it's great to hear from you!

Re: No Proper Lady (11:01am September 21, 2011):

Thank you so much for your comments! It's always a thrill to
hear that people are excited--and I really appreciate the
chance to talk more about books and writing!

Marjorie, I seriously know what you mean sometimes. Writing
and reading can be a necessary escape these days.

Peggy, I'm so glad to hear you liked No Proper Lady!

And I'd like to thank the Fresh Fiction staff again for
letting me talk to all of you!
