I'd love to try your book carly. Please enter me into your contest!

Re: Nothing But Scandal (10:44pm August 7, 2009):

I like to identify with the heroine. Maybe because I am a little shy I prefer to read about a heroine that starts out shy and then gets a backbone as she experiences life. I love when the heroines do things that they never thought they would and discover an inner core of strength they didn't know existed but was there all the time!

Re: Loving a Lost Lord (8:47pm July 7, 2009):

I love historicals and can I please tell you how happy I am that you are writing them again.
I know paranormals are popular but I wish some of the authors I love would throw us a historical novel "bone" once in a while!
I love regency and turn of the century novels the best.

Re: Love At First Flight (11:51pm July 3, 2009):

Would like to read Love at First Flight. Thank you for sharing with us today.

Re: Dial Emmy For Murder (8:12pm June 20, 2009):

I would probably enjoy this as I am a covert fan of soap operas. RIP Guiding Light, I am so sad!

Re: From Friend To Father (3:30pm June 15, 2009):

Tracy, that was a wonderful post!!!
I respect you so much for having the courage to not only admit you read romance, but you also write romance (which we, your fans, happily await!).
I know what you mean when you repeated the questions your students posed: :Why do the "classics" have to be dark and depressing and end tragically?
When I was in college I wondered the same thing.
I would much rather read romance and be in a good mood for the rest of the day than read another Thomas Hardy novel and turn suicidal;P

Re: To Ruin The Duke (10:28pm June 12, 2009):

A book is a keeper if I have to stay up late all night to finish it!

Re: The Texas Twins (2:40pm June 9, 2009):

I really liked Gran Torino too. I have liked Clint Eastwwod throughout his whole career...but I admit I have a soft spot for Bridges of Madison County.

Re: Final Approach (2:36pm June 9, 2009):

I am like Adriana. I have a bunch of books that I am reading at the same time...

Re: The Red Pony (2:34pm June 9, 2009):

The books I enjoyed were "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens and "Rebecca" by Daphne DeMaurier. I did not enjoy any of the other books that were assigned as our English teachers were under an impression that in order for a book to be deemed a "classic", it must be angst ridden, tragic, and the characters must die or be maimed. HEA "ruined" a book's credibility, allegedly. Yecch.

Re: The Promise (3:02pm June 6, 2009):

Hi, I have read many wonderful reviews of your new book.

Re: Lip Service (10:29am June 2, 2009):

I would love to travel around the world. I'd go away for at least a year and have a vagabond life.

Re: Lucky Streak (10:24am June 2, 2009):

Hmmm. I don't think it exists, as far as in an entity outside of our control. I think we create our own luck.

Re: A Thread Of Truth (1:48pm May 30, 2009):

I have nieces and nephews, and I spoil them rotten...much to their Mom's chagrin!

Re: The Accidental Lawman (5:57pm May 23, 2009):

This sounds like a good one! I am reading more westerns, as I am almost burnt out on the paranormal craze!

Re: Taking Flight (6:57pm May 17, 2009):

I definitely have always had to defend my reading choices. But I had to read tragic, morose, but "intellectual" classics in college. I guess a prerequisite for a classic must mean that something horrible happens to the characters and that you end up depressed after reading it! No thanks. I enjoy my happy endings!

Re: The Infamous Rogue (4:44pm May 15, 2009):

Thanks, I'd love to read the "prequel"!

Re: A Trace Of Smoke (4:43pm May 15, 2009):

Sounds like a good one! I just finished another book about postwar berlin - pre WWII and it was fascinating...

Re: Shades Of Grace (10:34pm May 11, 2009):

In a weird way my Mom fostered my love of reading. She is a couch potato and she monopolizes the tv, she always has since I was a kid. Since I could never watch TV I ended up reading from a young age!

Re: Dead And Gone (10:29pm May 11, 2009):

The voice in my head tell me that my Sony Book Reader is ordering me to buy more books! I will give up going out for dinner, but I will not give up my books!

Re: Let It Ride (10:27pm May 11, 2009):

1. Catching up on books on my TBR pile
2. Clean and weed the garden
3. Finish the book I am trying to write!

Re: Cleopatra's Perfume (11:27pm May 4, 2009):

I like the cover! Thank you writing a book set in such a controversial time, it has piqued my interest! I will pick it up.
