Re: One Touch of Scandal (9:16pm September 26, 2010):

My crew [2 dogs,5 cats]are involved in everything every day.. so a reward for me is a book.. just me time. Ususally late at night, so they just sigh and go on to bed :)
Thank you so much for having this as a fund raiser for rescue.. added your book to the wishlist.
Rescues Rock!!

Re: Atlantis Betrayed (11:52pm August 31, 2010):

Congrats on the new release, and the move. I don't envy you on the details part of the move.. at all, but it will surely be an adventure once you get there.
as for destressing.. my world kinda crumbled a couple years ago.. still putting the pieces back together.. reading books like yours & those of other romance writers was & still is my was of "getting away"..
Hope things go smoothly for you with the rest of the move. Thanks for giving us all a chance at your new book.

Re: Rapture Untamed (10:51pm June 29, 2010):

I like stand alones, but I much prefer series. I really like that all aspects going more indepth. A couple favorites are Kim Harrison's Hollows & Gena Showalter's Lords. There are quite a few more as well.
Thanks for the chance to win the first in your series.

Re: Something About You (2:30pm March 21, 2010):

First to mind is TV show Moonlighting, noticed it was mentioned earlier as well, absolutely loved that show.. The book sounds great, I'm going to have to add it to my wishlist.

Re: Kitty and the Midnight Hour (12:52pm December 14, 2009):

This is a fantastic series, and the songs on the playlists are great. I'd like to nom. my oldest sister/best friend.. she's stuck with me thru some very tough years. I'm not sure I would have come thru ok without her.

Re: Demon Ex Machina (12:23pm October 6, 2009):

Great blog.. and why I truely think of writers as artist. Even if you have a great imagination it doesn't mean you will be a good storyteller/writer. I think you all are able to see more of the possibilities in the wide world..
As for the elves not getting to the kitchen. That might be because it's usually brownies that care for the house. They're probably pissed you're giving the credit to the elves.. lol
Congrats on your new release & thanks for the chance at embrosia

Re: Lucky Break (12:04pm September 30, 2009):

Like you I love them w/ humor. I think the best are when the leads have dialog w/ a healthy dose of bantering & teasing.
Congrats on the newest release.
Thanks for the chance to be able to get "Lucky Break", I could use some luck.

Re: Shades of Twilight (11:44am September 27, 2009):

I have only been to one. Sherrilyn Kenyon. She was fantastic. Yes it was one of those you get a ticket & wait for your number to be called, but Diana Love was w/ her & kept the crowd busy while Sherrilyn signed books. It was great.

Re: Dragons Prefer Blondes (12:07pm August 30, 2009):

I very rarely watch interviews, just don't watch TV anymore. Too many good books to read instead. I do read the author interviews [really like those], and I check out Gena Showalters "Author Talk". I would watch ones here, that's a good idea.

Re: Skykeepers (12:04pm August 19, 2009):

I haven't read these yet, but hope to. I've seen nothing but fantastic reviews & recommendations. As for your cast picks..yep . Oded in anything, but I admit I laughed at the Eminen.
Only definite that sticks in my head is Sandra Bullock as Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum.
This series sounds just too cool.. Love the website. Thanks for giving everyone a chance to win one of your books.. Nightkeepers please..need to start at the begining.

Re: To Tempt The Wolf (11:43pm August 18, 2009):

Congrats on your upcoming release.
I agree that the story has to always be a fresh take in some way. It's terrible to pick up a new book & have that I've read this feeling. Thankfully that very rarely happens. I love paranormals, and the vast possibilities is one of the reasons why. You can have 10 books come out at the same time about the same species & they will all be very different.. wonderfull.
This sounds like a great series. Thank you for giving everybody a chance to win your books.. fingers crossed:)

Re: Beloved Vampire (12:40pm August 17, 2009):

Ok, wasn't sure of the time limit. Love this series. I have a couple of your older works, but I think these are my favorites. Mason's sounds like a good story. Really looking forward to finding out what happens with Lyssa & Jacob, and Jacobs brother..that's going to be a really good one..
Thanks for giving us this world.

Re: Beloved Vampire (12:29pm August 17, 2009):

I would love to get this book.. still need the 3rd, but.

Re: Tortured (12:25pm August 17, 2009):

Congrats on your new release.
I am crossing my fingers & toes.. I really want to read this one. It's such a harsh time period that can be handled so many ways. Thank you for the chance to win a copy..

Re: The Texas Twins (8:18pm June 4, 2009):

Some things I can be patient with, but not books. I always seem to read them too fast, then I can't wait for the next one. Puzzles drive me nuts. I just can't handle the length of time it takes to finish them ..

Re: How To Seduce A Texan (6:53pm June 4, 2009):

I have to agree, I really like the 20 questions.. and it looks like I have several books to add to my "need to get" list. Thanks

Re: Killer Cuts (2:25am May 28, 2009):

Wow.. going to have to add more to my list. I've just finished reading Guardian, great book. What would I like to see in the bag ? Whispered Lies/Master of Craving/Last Vamp/Ashes of Midnight.. etc. etc. ..

Re: My Forbidden Desire (8:59am May 26, 2009):

Great questions. It's one of the things I like about the increase in paranormal stories, how the author looks at the basic explanations of the characters existance. I think it would depend on if you are going more by folklore or adding in modern understanding of medicine. If by folklore.. if young were never seen it would be assumed new werewolves only came about by surviving an attack, which supposedly few could. If you threw in medical info, you would have to look at the fact that with normal humans most pregnancies don't make it to the 30 day mark. Of those that do a majority of those don't make it to 3 months. When you add in the extra stressors, you would have few full term pregnancies. Internal organs wouldn't change much, unless your "wolves" had litters. As for newborns not being able to go 24hrs.. actually yes they can, its just wrong to our modern thinking. Granted only the stronger infants would survive, but your looking at a more instinctual group right? You wouldn't have the thinking that "every one of them must be saved at any cost"..
So many intricate variations possible... like I said.. Great questions..
I know I'll have to add these to my to get book list.. Thanks.

Re: Moonburn (2:13pm May 20, 2009):

This really sounds like a great read. I'm going to have to add both to my list.
