Re: Once Upon a Highland Autumn (12:15pm June 18, 2014):

Oh I agree, Lauraβ€”I love the being there part of travel, hate the getting there
part. They say the journey is the important part, but I think the airlines have
killed that idea.

Re: Once Upon a Highland Autumn (11:29pm June 17, 2014):

Good luck, Cecilia!

Re: Once Upon a Highland Autumn (10:30pm June 17, 2014):

Hi Bonnie, Avon always does such beautiful covers!

Re: Once Upon a Highland Autumn (10:30pm June 17, 2014):

Thank you for understanding, Beth. If only we owned shares in Kleenex, Inc.

Re: Once Upon a Highland Autumn (8:28pm June 17, 2014):

Thanks, Alyn. My daughter is currently in university, so I know exactly what you
meanβ€”I hear a lot of essay writer's panic. I think a big part of being a writer is
continually growing and improving, taking risks and trying new things. Keeps life
interesting, too!

Re: Once Upon a Highland Autumn (4:48pm June 17, 2014):

Hi Colleenβ€”welcome! Come on over to my website any time and have a visit. If
you have any questions, drop me a line at leciacornwall@shaw.ca

Re: Once Upon a Highland Autumn (4:47pm June 17, 2014):

Hi Karenβ€”the ghosts actually have speaking roles (and love to interfere) in
HIGHLAND SUMMER. The spirit in HIGHLAND AUTUMN is a bit more malevolent,
but can be playful, too.

Re: Once Upon a Highland Autumn (2:17pm June 17, 2014):

Hi Monique! I live in Calgary now, but I was born in Toronto, and lived in Ottawa
for 18 years. I still miss it.

Re: Once Upon a Highland Autumn (1:08pm June 17, 2014):

Thanks Crishtia!

Re: Once Upon a Highland Autumn (12:32pm June 17, 2014):

Thanks, Sharonβ€”there's just something about the Scottish Highlands, isn't there?

Re: Once Upon a Highland Autumn (10:42am June 17, 2014):

Hi Peggyβ€”Thank you for your kind words! Yes, I really write my stories from the
heart, and I'm a sentimental, mushy person, and I love history, love, and humour,
so how could I write anything but romance? Good luck in the contest. If you want
to start with one of my books, can I suggest my first book, 2011's Secrets of A
Proper Countess, an award winner for best debut novel.

Re: Once Upon a Highland Autumn (8:29am June 17, 2014):

Me, too Martha! Every romance has to have at least one ...

Re: The Secret Life of Lady Julia (8:16pm May 26, 2013):

More wonderful goals! One small step toward the future can change the world!

Re: The Secret Life of Lady Julia (3:04pm May 26, 2013):

What wonderful goals you all haveβ€”I say goals, not dreams, because anything is
possible! I could never have become a writer when my kids were smallβ€”my first
book was published at age 49, when my oldest was finishing his first year in
university. I'd love to paint too, but I'm just good enough at it to know I'm not
good enough. Same with interior design, and I'd love to singβ€”I'm planning on
joining a community choir this fall. Never, ever give up!
