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!
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!
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 :-)
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.
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.
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!
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 ;-)
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 ;-)
