Re: A Demon Does It Better (2:54pm January 3, 2012):

Looks like a great book, no I wouldn't like to be inside a creature...

Re: Sweet Reward (10:35am January 2, 2012):

I like tortured characters, perfection is boring. Not that I will ever know :)

Re: Blood of the Demon (7:52pm August 28, 2011):

Alpha's

Re: Loved By A Warrior (4:03pm July 6, 2011):

I think both fear and truth are the basis for myths and legends.

Re: So Close The Hand Of Death (8:51am March 15, 2011):

While you think that you know how you would react most people truly won't know till it happens. Many tales of heroism in the face of devastation in Japan, and faces of depair.

Re: Dangerous Secrets (4:42pm February 11, 2011):

I made a decisions 3 years ago to build a house in a rural area, and the results were not at all what I expected. I realized how much I like being around people and conveniences.

I prefer edgy reads.

Re: Senseless (12:00pm January 7, 2011):

Love your playlist.

Looks like a great book, and I would be happy to help plan a wedding>

Re: Haunted Honeymoon (9:41pm December 27, 2010):

I'm not picky, just needs well developed characters and a good plot.

Re: Pay Up (3:39pm December 23, 2010):

I enjoy stubborn, tough intelligent heroines who are independent.

Re: The Heir (12:06pm December 16, 2010):

Sounds like a good hread. I used to watch Shock Theatre which was on late Saturday nights on a few occasions with my Dad. It was so scary.... Happy Holidays

Re: Wolf Fever (12:55pm December 15, 2010):

I think rest is the most important factor, along with hot toddy and maybe some chicken soup. Also kleenex with moisturizers and throat drops.

Re: Rajmund (9:17pm December 6, 2010):

Wow - vamps and bad boys. the perfect combo.

Re: Motor City Witch (3:25pm November 26, 2010):

Daughter currently living in Auburn Hills,like the Detroit area. Great setting
for a paranormal book, favorite genre.

Re: Deadly Intent (8:37pm November 10, 2010):

All of the characters in Stephen Kings - Firestarter stand out. Kinsey Millhone is a favorite of mine also. And add Stephanie Plum - hysterical and so is her Grandma. I love books.

Re: Holiday Affair (4:08pm November 1, 2010):

I am way past the point of making things perfect, too exhausting. I just want to enjoy the grandkids now days.

Re: Simply Irresistible (6:59pm October 29, 2010):

Clever idea for a series.

Re: An Accidental Seduction (12:55pm October 28, 2010):

Two of my favorite fictional heroines - Kinsey Millhone and Kay Scarpetta.

Re: Captive Spirit (9:37pm October 19, 2010):

What an interesting story about the Hohokam. Bet the book is good.

Re: Pursuit of Justice (7:02pm October 18, 2010):

I appreciate suspense and plot
twists. True crime and how good
people go bad is always compelling.

Re: Backstage Pass (1:00pm October 13, 2010):

My cats control the household. They are the queens.

Re: When Wicked Craves (3:00pm September 29, 2010):

I live in a rural area, so it would have to have something to do with wild animals. Or maybe a horror story, what are those people who in live the woods doing with those who are lost and stop to ask for directions.....

Re: One Touch of Scandal (5:39pm September 26, 2010):

I don't treatmyself often but I'm trying
to do better.

Re: Petals From The Sky (4:31pm September 20, 2010):

what a lovely book

Re: Feline Fatale (3:21pm September 16, 2010):

Love the title, made me laugh

Re: From The Dead (9:58am September 3, 2010):

My mother has had MS for over 25 years. She has outlasted many others diagnosed with the same condition. She remains active in her 70's and has a joy for life many folks are lacking. Today is her birthday.

Re: Dark Deception (9:13pm September 1, 2010):

I don't really have any labors of love currently -except maybe the internet. Good for you to presever.

Re: Atlantis Betrayed (8:40pm August 31, 2010):

Moves ARE very stressful, I can't imagine moving to another country where I would need to master the language. Good luck to you, try lots of massages, hot baths, and a drink of wine to relax.

Re: Seduced by the Wolf (1:32pm August 23, 2010):

Now that I'm aware of your series I will give it a try. Not sure that I would trade places with Cassie.

Re: Hero (4:42pm August 18, 2010):

Writing must be hard. I respect and admire anyone who has the guts to write down their thoughts.

Re: Roast Mortem (10:32pm August 14, 2010):

I love pancakes, blueberry buckwheat pancakes are awesome.

Re: The Quick and the Thread (1:48pm August 6, 2010):

thanks for posting this. I was not sure of what the proper etiquette was, I will speak up next time I see someone sitting alone at a table.

Re: Monster in Miniature (1:37pm July 30, 2010):

I'm always open to a good book.

Re: Love and Scandal (4:39pm July 22, 2010):

The book sounds yummy, and I have never tried and ebook..

Re: Moonshine (4:03pm July 20, 2010):

I appreciate sidekicks usually as comic relief.

Re: Revenge for Old Times' Sake (12:45pm July 16, 2010):

Sounds like a great book. Wish I could sleep that sound.

Re: Ice Cold (3:17pm July 13, 2010):

I think I will read the series, saw the commercials for the show last night. Sounds like a good read, I love to be scared.

Re: Rapture Untamed (8:11pm June 29, 2010):

I like series, the Prey series John Sanford and Sue Graftons alphabet series on heroine Kinsey Millhone are two of my favs. And of course Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse books.

Re: Fatal Affair (12:25pm June 24, 2010):

I love suspense books, through in a little romance makes it great. Maybe the next Brangelina screenplay :)

Re: Dragon Unmasked (2:10pm June 16, 2010):

I have had this happen to me last year, I really couldn't pin point what caused it. I just couldn't pick up a book. Happily it just went away one day. My husband alway's gave me a hard time as I wouldn't pay attention to him when I read, but that never really stopped me.

Re: Strange Neighbors (4:35pm June 1, 2010):

Sounds like a supportive group to belong to. I am abby normal myself....

Re: Web Of Lies (3:28pm May 17, 2010):

I like many types of genres, mostly I appreciate good writing. I like thrillers and paranormal horror in particular. Also sci fi, and some chick lit. See I told you I like many varied types....

Re: Haunting Warrior (3:20pm May 12, 2010):

I would travel to meet Nostradamus and ask him about 12/21/12.

Re: Sex Drive (8:26pm May 10, 2010):

I usually don't care too much for the snippets of novels in magazines. I like to look at magazines but prefer to read books.

Re: A Thread So Thin (12:01pm May 9, 2010):

I read some YA books, Twilight saga would be the first to come to mind. I read what I like regardless of what others think.

Re: Think Twice (6:52pm May 2, 2010):

I read Horns by Joe Hill. It was excellent. That acorn didn't fall too far from the tree - he writes like his dad's early books.

Re: Beautiful People (8:22pm April 21, 2010):

That certainly sounds like an interesting book. Maybe a bit close to reality for some celebs..

Re: Shadow Games (7:28pm April 15, 2010):

Root of All Evil looks great, kind of like an espisode of Criminal Minds (my guilty pleasure)

Re: Demonkeepers (8:34pm April 14, 2010):

I have never had the pleasure of reading this series, but it does sound interesting.I would give it a try.

Re: Reunion (1:06pm April 9, 2010):

What a beautiful necklace - it would be an inspiration. Jewelry has it's own story to tell. Lies, deceit and even death to own a precious gem.

Re: SEALed with a Ring (11:12am March 5, 2010):

I love to dance, so I enjoy a good story with dancing as part of the ...hmmm... seduction?

Re: Plaster And Poison (3:26pm March 4, 2010):

I like you new approach to mystery/crime genre.

Re: Truly, Madly (6:17pm March 3, 2010):

I guess yes I do believe in love at first sight. Lust is a whole other matter...

Re: Easter Promises (9:42pm February 24, 2010):

I like to solve mysteries and read them. I am too hyper to knit. I like your books though, I'm from Kentucky.

Re: The Edge of Winter (8:08pm February 21, 2010):

Winter Prey by John Sanford. I've read all of his "Prey" books.

Re: Ordinary World (12:23pm February 15, 2010):

Some of our friends had twin girls at the same time we had our son. They were so identical it was hard to tell them apart by looking at them - but they had vastly different personalities.

Re: Promise Me Tonight (12:08pm February 13, 2010):

I nice combination of genres makes this worth reading.

Re: Legend Of The White Wolf (9:39pm February 5, 2010):

Lon Chaney Jr. set the bar pretty high many years ago. The original brooding, sexy werewolf - and still my favorite. Second only to Quentin Collins in Dark Shadows.

Re: Viking in Love (4:10pm February 4, 2010):

Did you know there was a website called glomming.com? I have found the internet and various internet sites a great way to read about new authors and what they offer.

Re: Drive Time (8:25pm February 1, 2010):

I really don't like secrets, but sometimes it is necessary to expose them if keeping them could harm or hurt someone. p.s. I love your hair. I may let mine go natural...

Re: Hasta La Vista, Lola! (12:48pm January 29, 2010):

This is a book I would be interested in buying, though I would love to win one

Re: Hold On Tight (7:26pm January 26, 2010):

I am a big fan of wikipedia. I look everything up online now.

Re: The Keepers Of Sulbreth (3:48pm January 15, 2010):

Many times that is what attracts me to a book - the title. Even if it is an unknown author. I love puns as book titles.

Re: Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy (12:59pm January 11, 2010):

Wow - that sounds exhausting. Sounds like you don't waste a minute of your life.

Re: Breakfast In Bed (9:30pm December 28, 2009):

That actually made me hungry reading the excerpt. What powerful writing.

Re: Twenties Girl (9:45pm December 26, 2009):

I love to read about the Low Country on the East Coast, and the Gulf coast.

Re: Keeper Of The Way (5:11pm December 10, 2009):

Sounds like a good read. I would give it to my daughter in law school for when she get to read for pleasure.

Re: Sex Drive (2:55pm December 2, 2009):

I prefer series for the most part, but - I also think most books should "stand alone". Nothing is more frustrating then finding a new author, buying a book then discovering you have to read the 2 prior books to understand what is going on.

Re: Scorched (8:33pm December 1, 2009):

I have not read any of your books, but think they sound pretty interesting.

Re: The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening (8:49pm November 21, 2009):

Angelus is the most vicious and dangerous by far. It was incredible how far he went to terrorize Buffy. He showed no conscience what so ever. A future smackdown should involve Spike!

Re: The Splendor Falls (10:18am November 20, 2009):

No, I have not read it.

Re: The Accidental Werewolf (2:51pm November 17, 2009):

I read alot of reviews and recommendations, and also by word of mouth.

Re: Over My Dead Body (3:23pm November 16, 2009):

I am trying to make memories for my grandchildren, I will never be the cook one of my grandma's was. The other one made instant coffee and used a crock pot when she cooked. My grandchildren like the frozen pancakes better anyway, more time to snuggle and watch cartoons with them.

Re: Willoughby's Return (4:12pm November 12, 2009):

I would wear a ball gown everyday if I could.

Re: Wild Blue Under (2:50pm November 9, 2009):

Sounds like a fun read.

Re: One Lucky Cowboy (4:45pm November 5, 2009):

I enjoyed your post. Makes me want to go get myself a pair of cowboy boots.

Re: Captive Desires (2:58pm November 2, 2009):

I may be an exception, I am not sure I have any creative talents. I have always thought the world would be a better place if everyone would bust it in a song and dance periodically, like the musicals - Singing in the Rain would be a good one.

Re: Final Approach (10:32am November 2, 2009):

I always eat it so never a problem with leftovers.

Re: Mr. Darcy Vampyre (3:25pm October 29, 2009):

How imaginative. This looks like it would be a great read. Love vampyre books.

Re: Possess Me At Midnight (8:03pm October 22, 2009):

I think romance would be very hard to write about. Keep up the good job.

Re: My Wicked Vampire (1:46pm October 20, 2009):

I really appreciate humor, I do think it is more difficult to write humor with a broader appeal. I love to read books where I laugh out loud. I apparently have a dry humor that not everyone gets. But hey, it is always good to amuse yourself.

Re: Loot the Moon (4:32pm October 19, 2009):

I have to tell myself I will get some sort of reward as motivation.

Re: The Trials Of The Honorable F. Darcy (11:28am October 15, 2009):

I identify with Lizzie.

Re: Soulless (4:21pm October 13, 2009):

I have never heard this term either, I have certainly learned something today.

Re: Can't Stand the Heat (4:01pm October 6, 2009):

Yes, you should post a free read for the holiday. Spread the seasonal cheer.

Re: Demon Ex Machina (11:45am October 5, 2009):

I think airplanes are magical too. I try not to think about it while I'm actually in one. Yeah for Demon Ex Machina!

Re: A Dark Love (1:42pm September 30, 2009):

I like to read about people who aren't so perfect, there are always lessons to be learned.

Re: Lucky Break (1:57pm September 29, 2009):

Well Carly, here's the "Lucky" entry for your giveaway!

Re: A Christmas Ball (2:50pm September 21, 2009):

We open gifts on Christmas morning after Santa comes the night before.

Re: Beast Warrior (12:52pm September 16, 2009):

As an alpha female, I would love to win this book. I have loved werewolves since Quentin in Dark Shadows.

Re: The Splendor Falls (10:47pm September 11, 2009):

I find myself eating more when I read the Stephanie Plum books (J Evanovich). Stephanie and Lulu eat their way through the story, and it makes me crave donuts.

Re: Tie Me Down (9:02pm September 4, 2009):

I enjoyed your reminisence on New Orleans. My favorite city is Savannah, especially River Street - the pralines are the best there.

Re: Highland Rebel (1:02pm September 3, 2009):

I think I have always enjoyed reading so much because it has been my escape into another world.

Re: Red Hot Lies (6:42pm August 30, 2009):

My preference is also my preference.

Re: Feels Like The First Time (4:24pm August 26, 2009):

I would dress up like a clown.

Re: In the Master's Bed (3:31pm August 24, 2009):

I work for a college, I love back to school time. It is so exciting every year to see the energy and expectations of students. I loved college so much I never left.

Re: To Tempt The Wolf (4:20pm August 20, 2009):

I love the vampire/werewolf books, but how about something new along the shapeshifter lines? I haven't read your books yet but they are on my list to read.

Re: Dark Hunger (12:26pm August 5, 2009):

I would love to read both books as mentioned above. As a fellow Southerner (shout out to Ky) I can appreciate the Tennesse setting. The best ghost tour I have been on was in Gatlinburg. Who would have thought it?

Re: Babydoll (3:17pm August 4, 2009):

I loved the quiz, nobody touches my chocolate. My husband and I travel well together, but that is about it :)

Re: It Happened One Night (1:24pm July 31, 2009):

the Sunflowers on the cover of the book caught my attention.

Re: Seeing Red (2:31pm July 28, 2009):

I am a city girl who moved to a small town a year ago. The pace is much slower, and everyone knows everyone else. I like being on a first name basis with the bank teller and others. Not sure if I like everyone knowing about all my business.

Re: The Diva Takes The Cake (4:55pm July 23, 2009):

thanks for the contest. Wish I had a piece of wedding cake right now.

Re: Waking Nightmare (11:51am July 22, 2009):

At the end of the day I dream of having the job of being the person who sets up umbrellas on the beach and rents them out.

Re: Swimsuit (9:30am July 17, 2009):

I have read so many of the James Patterson books, he is one of my favorites. How great it is a author of your caliber collaborates with him. I love Fresh Fiction, I can't believe the authors that I see blogging on here - I am in heaven. I would love to win a copy of Swimsuit.

Re: Object of Desire (2:07pm July 10, 2009):

I would like to read this, will have to watch for it.

Re: Object of Desire (7:48am July 9, 2009):

I really like the name of your book. Sounds like a good read.

Re: The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Pie Society (1:33pm July 5, 2009):

Janet Evanvich had a holiday book in the Stephanie Plum series, I could only read 10 pages.

Re: Everywhere She Turns (1:17pm July 5, 2009):

Most have a hard time differentiating between wants and needs. I worked my way thru college, 30 hours a week at work and going to college full time. Most people can live on alot less than they think they can.

Re: Wild Heart (3:51pm June 29, 2009):

Congratulations on your book, hope I get a chance to read it.

Re: Dial Emmy For Murder (10:51pm June 20, 2009):

I have never heard of a writing partner before, very interesting.

Re: Jump (5:11pm June 18, 2009):

I really like to read mysteries.

Re: Beneath Bone Lake (10:50am May 29, 2009):

I am absolutely terrified of snakes. My mother actually faints when she sees one.

Re: My Forbidden Desire (2:13pm May 25, 2009):

I would guess if werewolves could only mate during a full moon when they turn, then that would dramatically cut down on the number of times they could mate.

Re: Dragons Prefer Blondes (10:32pm May 24, 2009):

I'm a planner, I read books from my favorite authors when they come out but will also change genres if something catches my eye.

Re: The Accidental Lawman (1:39pm May 22, 2009):

Hmmm I have a big head too, I commiserate.

Re: Moonburn (1:36pm May 19, 2009):

i would love to win this. thanks

Re: Taking Flight (1:56pm May 15, 2009):

I always have to defend my choices, I don't want to read the classics currently or the noveau hot nonfiction. I want to escape and be entertained.

Re: The Texas Twins (9:34am May 12, 2009):

I enjoyed your article, too often we throw out our dreams before really giving them a try. Glad you are published.

Re: Let It Ride (3:35pm May 11, 2009):

I will be reading or surfing the net. Also plan to particiapate in more outdoor activities - fishing, hiking, and camping.

Re: Dead And Gone (12:00pm May 9, 2009):

I haven't read the books yet, it's my next series I want to start. So all I know is Anna P. in the Sookie role.

Re: Sea Lord (1:07pm May 5, 2009):

I enjoy any sea theme with mermaids.

Re: Relentless (3:11pm May 4, 2009):

Futuristic romance - sounds interesting.

Re: Fight Fire With Fire (3:06pm May 1, 2009):

sounds like a great read.

Re: Wild Heat (8:21pm April 30, 2009):

I would love the opportunity to read your books

Re: The Heir's Scandalous Affair (12:25pm April 14, 2009):

I enjoy series books. There are several series books I have been reading for decades.

Re: Paradise Valley (3:34pm April 11, 2009):

We saw Fast and Furious last night, was good and action packed. I am reading a Janet Evanovich book currently.

Re: Rewriting Monday (7:03pm April 7, 2009):

I would give almost anything if I could go back and rewrite an event in my life. I should have followed my intuition and will always regret that I didn't.

Re: Kiss Of Darkness (4:22pm March 27, 2009):

Lycanthrops or Nosferatu - they all make good reading. Your books sound interesting.

Re: Would-Be Witch (3:23pm March 16, 2009):

Historical Setting - New Orleans - such a perfect place for voodoo, the undead, and magic

Re: Dark Victory (10:15am March 5, 2009):

This would be a great prize. thanks.

Re: Vexing The Viscount (11:42am February 13, 2009):

Interesting subject. Lucky day #13 - hope all have a great one.

Re: The Man She Married (1:25pm February 12, 2009):

I have the double whammy - my anniversary is Valentine's Day (27th).

Re: Dawnkeepers (11:11am January 23, 2009):

I am not familar with these books, and would love to read Dawnkeepers

Re: Men Of The Otherworld (2:26pm January 22, 2009):

Please please pick me.

Re: Talk Me Down (5:05pm January 19, 2009):

I don't know about giving up the vampires..they are my favorite. Maybe your trilogy deserves a second look.

Re: At Grave's End (3:03pm January 1, 2009):

Great cover. Vikki Parman
