Re: The Book Charmer (9:01pm August 7, 2019):

Mary, you had me at "yard sale" and "coffee!" I hope we get to meet in person some time. :)

Julie-Ann, very true -- a smile is very magical. I should have added that!

Julia, as an self-avowed introvert, you'd think I'd have thought of that one. :) I hope you enjoy The Book Charmer. It was magical to write.

Carrie, good points, both! And as I watch cute animal videos, I can testify how that can cheer you up.

Re: The Book Charmer (11:20am August 7, 2019):

Robin, I hope you enjoy it. I had so much fun writing it and I'm working on Ava Dove's book right now. :)

Re: The Taming Of A Scottish Princess (11:00pm May 23, 2012):

Thank you all for such warm and encouraging comments! It looks like you guys are on the same page I am -- that sexy nerds are terrific heroes. And oh, I hope you will all like Michael Hurst!

Re: The Taming Of A Scottish Princess (5:29pm May 23, 2012):

Holly, absolutely! That's exactly what fiction's for. :)

Michelle, I hadn't heard of that book. I'll have to check it out.

Thank you, Alisa! I hope you enjoy it. :)

Re: The Taming Of A Scottish Princess (12:55pm May 23, 2012):

Hello, everyone! I am so pleased to visit with you all today! I'm tickled so many of you like the nerdy, brilliant explorer type of hero. I have to say that so far, Michael Hurst is my favorite hero that I've written. I wish this forum had direct replies so I could comment on each post individually, but it doesn't. SO, I'll just pop in now and then and answer any questions you guys may have. Meanwhile, thank you for taking to time to read about Michael and his nerdy-hero-ness! :)
