Re: Missing Persons (5:25pm June 25, 2011):

Wow, the ability to compartmentalize the murder without it affecting their view of themselves as a good person, father, etc. astounds me!! Now how can you trust others in your acquaintance when you only see one side of them? scary!

Re: Yukon Wedding (9:41pm March 28, 2011):

No one would find a ring in my button collection! I'm a sewer and have hundreds of buttons, many in a decorative tin. Of course, I'd probably forget it was there and it would be gone forever!

Re: An Unlikely Countess (1:27pm March 19, 2011):

I wouldn't respect a heroine or hero who was banished to a poor area and did nothing to make it better. Your characters have spunk and don't whine! Nothing worse than 'woe is me' characters. I do enjoy learning about how they lived in the past, especially like the photos you posted of what the homes and buildings looked like.

Re: Crush On You (8:03pm June 10, 2010):

We met while I was an 18 year old college sophomore, at an old fashioned movie theater. I wore a new angora sweater in shades of pink with (dating me here!) pink stretch pants and white tennies. He was in the Air Force and came in with a buddy who knew my girlfriend. We paired up to see the movie, the Pink Panther, (sense a pink theme?) and we are still married 43 years and 6 kids later!

Re: My Own Personal Soap Opera (3:40pm April 7, 2010):

I'm currently struggling with writing a book that has both humor and murder in it. When I saw the post Tips on Writing a Comedic Novel, you suckered me in! Took a few lines before I caught on. Hey, it's a slow day for me! I reread it to enjoy all the fun. And, Lori's was story is hilarious!! Sounds like something that would happen to me. WE ALL need regular doses of laughter!
Thanks for brightening this rainy, gloomy day.

Re: Easter Promises (5:53pm February 24, 2010):

Allie, I've really enjoyed your Kentucky Corners books. I was first drawn to them because my hubby is a Kentucky boy, plus I love your story-telling! I've always loved to do handwork, knitting, crocheting, embroidery of many forms, and lots of sewing, from playclothes for my kids to wedding dresses for daughters.
I'm now learning tatting from a young mom, when her daughters and my granddaughter are in dance class. I agree, we need these outlets, especially when we're stressed. But I learned my lesson years ago when I was knitting a sweater while watching a particularily scary movie. I looked at the sweater sleeve afterwards and the rows I knitted during that movie were so tight I had to rip them all out!

Re: Breaking Loose (6:36pm August 15, 2009):

Oh, my, I'm remembering a '60 Dodge Dart, the one with the fins and big as a battleship! Well, it had a very nice bench seat! (blush) That was soooo long ago, and I'm about to celebrate 43 years of marriage to the man who made love to me there
I doubt if either one of us could manage that today . . .
I'm also a romance writer who loves chocolate, the darker the better. And I've been known to write in my jammies, in shorts and t-shirts, or whatever is handy.
I remember meeting Cherry Adair and her darling hubby, David, who proudly told of his wife's work ethic. She is up, dressed with makeup --and even earrings!-- by 8:00 each morning, at the computer and puts in a full day of writing six days a week. I tried it once after meeting her, but the earrings and mascara (blink, blink) were too distracting and I couldn't write a word.

Re: Seducing an Angel (4:40pm June 23, 2009):

Mary, I hear your name spoken with reverence in my writing chapter! Your books hold up to rereading, and they don't go out of style.
I agree with you on the three needs, and if you are missing #3, not able to love yourself, then you won't be able to be in a mature love relationship.
Keep up the good work! I am trying to visualize the motors on your wrists! I could use them :-)

Re: Smart Girls Think Twice (3:40pm January 28, 2009):

I love the bad boy heroes, too, if they aren't toooo bad! Sometimes I read a book where the guy I figured should be the hero is completely unredeemable, then the author twists things around until he shows a good side. Doesn't always work for me.
Your heroes' flaws compliment the heroines' strong suits in each story, and bring her around to reaching out to him, whether she thinks she wants to, or not!
Smart Girls has such strong attraction between them that it sizzled off the page!
I won't say more, in case of spoiling it for others. It really works for me :-)
