Re: Ghost on the Case (8:32pm October 15, 2017):

I have yet to read one of your books; but, the word Ghost jumped out at me. Definitely you'll be added to my TBR list! So glad to have learned about you!

Re: Putting on the Witch (10:32am October 14, 2016):

I was sorry to learn that both Joyce and Jim have passed away. They left quite the legacy of literature. My favorite Halloween festivity is helping choose the perfect pumpkin(s) at the pumpkin patch AND having the opportunity to try to navigate a corn field maze without getting too lost along the way.

Re: Viking Warrior Rebel (10:17am October 14, 2016):

The Viking Warrior Rebel Excerpt excites me. You are a new author for me to read and I'm definitely interested.

Re: The Witch and the Dead (9:07am October 14, 2016):

A very compelling review! What fun! I'm interested in this series now that I'm aware of it. As you may have guessed by now, you are a new to me author. I'm glad to have discovered you!

Re: A Love Made New (5:06pm September 21, 2016):

I like to work at my desk with a window view of nature and squirrels!

Re: Portrait of a Conspiracy (4:20am July 14, 2016):

I like your imagination and applied artistic license, having included a secret society of women. And thank you for your tour of Florence, both in pictures and words. Stunning! Portrait of a Conspiracy appeals to me on many levels and is a book I look forward to reading!

Re: Lark (4:00am July 14, 2016):

Thank you for painting a beautiful picture with your eloquent words.
I think some of my most enjoyable days have been when I've spent time picking weeds from our garden, only to be distracted by people, pets the beauty of nature. Our four year old neighbor loves to help me. Of course, that also means a ride on our black tire swing which she believes is a unicorn. We each make up fantasy stories about the unicorn and are totally silly. And swinging on our cedar porch swing is a delicious distraction for me. The swing hangs under the grape arbor my husband constructed about 8 years ago. Near the arbor's front, trumpet vines bloom and provide nectar for hummingbirds! When the weather is cool enough I like to read in that particular spot as well. And, neighbor dogs make the round for rubbing and loving when I'm in the yard! I can't resist the wagging tails and attentive behaviors. Being outdoors watching sunrises & sunsets, bees, birds, butterflies, neighbors and pets relaxes me and brings me joy.

Re: Title Wave (8:29pm June 27, 2016):

Your interview is fascinating. I never imagined that ebooks would help remove stigmas related to expectations based upon the sex of the author. A plus for female and male writers alike! I'm also amazed that you have such an emotionally keen awareness of each of your characters that you can write about five different series and not get lost! Murder on the Half Shelf appeals to me as a cozy mystery fan! And, Title Wave sounds fun, having enjoyed cruising with my family. I'm glad to have found some books to add to my reading list! Thank you!

Re: Tommaso (7:37pm May 30, 2016):

TOMMASO, Book #2 sounds like a read I'd enjoy! Thanks for having a giveaway! And I hope your Memorial Day is great!

Re: An Enchanted Spring (6:52pm May 30, 2016):

Time travel allows us to peek into the locational, cultural, philosophical and/or societal changes that our characters adapt and deal with, creating more drama! With love's mesmerizing strength and beauty, a perfect storm or rainbow can ensue! Great combination for plots!

Re: Romancing the Ranger (1:57pm March 21, 2016):

I grew up playing both violin and piano, and composed music reflecting my mood. As for productivity, I can't drive to Steppenwolf or I speed! It would be productive if I drove a race car though! hee, hee I drive to Mowtown quite well. I like to garden to any music. And to sleep I like various nature sounds to slip into sleep!

Re: Montana Wild (1:14pm January 23, 2016):

When I was young, falling in love would have worked. Examples: Our oldest daughter lived in Aspen, Colorado and loved cold weather and outdoor sports; but, moved to sweltering Houston to marry the love of her life. And, our middle daughter fell in love with a man from Spain doing post-doctoral research for an oil company, resulting in her moving to Spain and getting married!) Also, my husband and I moved from Missouri to Texas after our first grandchild was born, as we didn't want to miss seeing him grow! I think we need to leap into the joy of relationships that foster our bliss!

Re: Heir To The Duke (1:04pm January 23, 2016):

I don't remember ever pranking anyone intentionally. But, my brother did put sugar in the salt shaker, which ruined my fried pork chops. However, when I let our kindergarten-aged daughter take her pet snake to show and tell (which I decided to attend in case anyone was uncomfortable with her pet,) the kids loved the snake and the teacher quickly withdrew to the wall and asked me to take the snake home when our daughter finished sharing.

Re: Enchantment of a Highlander (12:52pm January 23, 2016):

I've achieved a full life and am retired. I'm working toward a year round vegetable garden (we live in southern Texas) and expanding our flower garden varieties. Of course, our children and grandchildren are growing and they are the people I enjoy showering with love, time and attention! Relationships with our extended family and friends are important too!

Re: Remaking Ryan (12:46pm January 23, 2016):

The best part is visiting friends and family along the way! The worst part is forgetting to take meds for car sickness when we travel winding roads.

Re: Linny?s Sweet Dream List (12:43pm January 23, 2016):

honesty, sense of humor, kindness, loving nature

Re: Woman of the Mists (2:21pm September 26, 2015):

Thanks for helping to illuminate our past through history, culture and traditions of our people.
