I do understand what you mean about patience. Anyone with kids knows about it. We wait for them to get through the terrible twos and then the teen years and then for them to give us grandkids....but before we know it they're getting gray and we're getting grayer. Hard to wait for some things but so well worth it...like your books. Always welcome a new one.

Hi Sandi, I can feel your pain. I also do some reviewing and those take precedence over the want-to-read-right-now books on my TBR pile. Luckily the same thing helps me have that perfect excuse to read the newest from my favorites because I 'have to' get the review done. The availability of shorter ebooks by some really special authors helps me get my fix more often. I had twenty years when there was no time for reading. When I got back into it there were all these new genres that I just had to explore. That was a BIG derailment but also allowed some of my favorites to get more books done for me to read!

So many wonderful authors. Any of them would be a pleasure to read. Winning one would just be fun.

I agree with your comment about if a hero comes to you and you adore them it's likely we will too. I read a lot, maybe 500 books a year so the heroes and heroines of all genres have to talk to me whatever their origin, planet or state of their finances. Your book sounds great. I think many of us as readers do want to see something unique in the books we read whether it be physical problems, emotional problems or whatever. One I read lately just had a twist in that a forced marriage wasn't to an orge. He wasn't the hero but he wasn't a bad guy. That's refreshing. As life proves heroes come in all shapes, sizes and lifestyle. Glad you and many other authors realize that and keep the books coming and fun. I'd hate to have them all the same. Always nice when something that's fun to read teaches me something too!

I totally adore Karen Wiesner's Incognito series built around an organization with people in it getting their own story told. Her Falcon's Bend series is set in a location definitely in this world with central characters who stay with us but others who take center stage at times. The important thing for me is that they always wrap up the story. It's not ongoing, waiting for the next book to come. I read one by MR Sellars once that was a mystery that wasn't going to be solved until some time in the future. That makes me see red. I was really angry and won't pick up another book by an author who does that to me. Many of my favorites have series that I love and wouldn't miss. But each has a beginning, middle and end. I'd rather have a series than a run-on book that bogs down because the author has to finish it by a deadline but has no good ending so lets it slide. Looks like we all have our favorites so there's a lot of great world builders around.

Ah, Jade, I love whatever you write!! Seduced by Crimson, Shards of Crimson and Tempted Tigress are all favorites. Let the muse take you and I'll love it!
