Re: Always Emily (4:15pm May 14, 2014):

Tina, I like the description of the two of you like two peas in a pod :-)

Re: Always Emily (4:14pm May 14, 2014):

Elaine, you are indeed blessed.

Re: Always Emily (4:14pm May 14, 2014):

Larena, it doesn't matter at what age they appear, these special people matter,
don't they?

L Lam, wonderful that your special person is your mom!

Re: Always Emily (12:05pm May 14, 2014):

Nancy, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom and your brother. My mom died four
years ago and there aren't many days that go by in which I don't think of her. I'm
so happy you have a great sister!

Re: Always Emily (12:04pm May 14, 2014):

Pam, your mom sounds wonderful. I hope you had a great Mother's Day!

Re: Always Emily (12:03pm May 14, 2014):

Hi, Peggy. It sounds like you've been twice-blessed in sisterhood and in
friendship!

Re: Always Emily (7:34am May 14, 2014):

Marcelyn, how wonderful that you have such a close friend! It sounds like a truly
special relationship. We're fortunate these days that communication is so easy
now when friends or family move away!

Re: The Temptation of Laura (9:16am February 25, 2014):

Rachel, The Temptation of Laura sounds wonderful! Great premise. You are so
fortunate to live so close to Bath.

Re: Because Of Audrey (9:25pm October 25, 2013):

Thank you, everyone, for sharing your costume experiences! I've enjoyed
reading them about them!

Re: Because Of Audrey (8:34am October 25, 2013):

Pat, I love that you went as the Thing! What a great idea.

Cheril, the Statue of Liberty would be a fabulous costume!

Bonnie, love that the proceeds go to the Food Bank and to help those in need.
Wonderful.

Re: In From The Cold (8:38pm February 3, 2013):

Thank you, everyone, for sharing your stories today of winter fun and winter
pastimes. I enjoyed reading them!

Re: In From The Cold (3:39pm February 3, 2013):

To all of you commenting that you like to curl up with a good book in the
middle of winter, I'm of the same mind these days. Such a great winter activity!!!

Sleeping in the tent was definitely different, but it was all part of the adventure,
so I'm glad I gave myself over to the experience. These days, though, I like my
creature comforts :-)

Re: In From The Cold (9:24am February 3, 2013):

Bonnie, our wonderful guides kept a fire going in a stove all night long, so we
weren't cold. I will admit that sleeping in close proximity to so many other
people was strange, though.

Re: In From The Cold (9:22am February 3, 2013):

Kathleen, I'm so glad you are close enough to a mountain in California that your
family can enjoy the snow and the winter sports you grew up with!

Re: In From The Cold (9:20am February 3, 2013):

Hi everyone, thank you for joining me today. The dogsledding trip was indeed
one of the highlights of my life, especially at a time when I needed a highlight!
It sounds like some of you enjoy winter sports. Penney, if you are dressed for it,
winter sports in the snow can be a blast! We had a great snowfall up here in
Canada just after Christmas and my local sledding hill was packed every day!
Soooo great to see all the children (and some adults!) out enjoying fresh air
instead of spending their holidays in front of the computer or TV.

Re: No Ordinary Sheriff (3:17pm June 17, 2012):

Oregon, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you ;-)

Shirley, yes, Montana and cowboys...sigh.

Shirley, Ordinary came to me out of the blue and I loved it immediately.
Accord took a little more time, but the second I thought of it, I knew it was
the right name.

LOL, Angie, re: swaying you over to cowboys.

Wilma, I'm partial to stories about the Western states, too. I guess that's kind
of obvious ;-)

Marjorie, I do it with other author series, too, and I'm always so sorry when a
series I've been following ends.

Colleen, if you do pick up my books, welcome to my worlds!

Linda, I'm always looking for new cowboy stories, too.

Diane, I like nothing better to find a book that I really like and then realizing
they are part of a series and there's more to read!

Re: No Ordinary Sheriff (3:11pm June 17, 2012):

Peggy, I always enjoy finding new authors to love and then learning that they
have a backlist I can't wait to get my hands on ;-)

Kim, I know what you mean about cowboys. I'm always drawn to cowboy
stories, which is strange considering that I'm a city girl.

Silvana, I really enjoyed writing the 'gender bending' in No Ordinary Sheriff,
especially writing a hero who was so masculine yet wanted that white picket
fence ideal. And the heroine? I loved writing such an independent, ambitious
woman!

Sue, judging by the research I did, Montana looks beautiful!

Catherine, yes the dogsledder sounds a lot like my first rancher, doesn't he?
Their backgrounds and problems are very different, though, and the
'characters' of Ordinary and Accord are so different that I think the stories are
unique. It remains to be seen what readers think ;-)

Re: No Ordinary Sheriff (3:05pm June 17, 2012):

Thanks to everyone for dropping by today. It's funny, but I'm currently working
on the second of the Accord books and, as I was writing today, even more
character and plot ideas popped up. I'm seriously thinking there will have to be
more than two Accord books ;-)
