Re: A Perfect Trade (5:24am July 5, 2014):

Thanks for stopping by, Kai! I wish for you to have a second
chance. Or a wonderful first chance that makes it clear why
that second chance never came.

Re: A Perfect Trade (8:40am July 4, 2014):

What a lovely story, Peggy! Doc Cambridge was my best friend
before he became my hubby, so I believe in love in all forms
too. Thanks so much - have a great holiday!

Re: A Perfect Trade (8:40am July 3, 2014):

Why else do we read romance, Anna? :)

Re: A Perfect Trade (8:40am July 3, 2014):

It is indeed, Cheryl. Hopefully in Tru and Jenny's case, the
journey to forgiveness is a believable one. :)

Re: A Perfect Trade (6:06pm July 2, 2014):

That's so true, Donna. And sometimes you think 'phew that was
a lucky escape!' ;)

Re: A Perfect Trade (6:55am June 5, 2014):

Thanks so much, Debbie. I hope you enjoy it :)

Re: A Perfect Trade (4:58am June 5, 2014):

Thanks so much, Peggy! I'm busy at work on book 3 now - no
peace for the wicked! Hope you're well and life has picked up
for you!

Re: A Perfect Distraction (7:14am May 9, 2014):

Hi Peggy! With all you do, you make me exhausted! I wish for
you to have a bed as lovely as mine some day soon! You're a
special woman and you deserve the very best!

Re: A Perfect Distraction (4:23am April 10, 2014):

Thanks for stopping by, Brooklyn Ann! I know what you mean!
We felt like we didn't dare sit or touch anything in case we
marked something! LOL Jewel tones sound lovely!

Re: A Perfect Distraction (4:22am April 10, 2014):

Hi Denise! Your colour scheme sounds lovely. We're about to
redo our bathroom in blue and white - so much better than the
all-white the previous owners had!

Re: A Perfect Distraction (4:21am April 10, 2014):

Thanks for stopping by today, Glenda! Yes, an all-white house
would be a disaster for me too - we have 2 black cats, for a
start! Light is so important - especially during the winter
months, so keeping rooms light and bright keeps you cheerful,
I'm sure!

Re: A Perfect Distraction (4:19am April 10, 2014):

Hi Peggy! Great to see you here today! Each of our rooms is a
different colour too, so I'm with you all the way. One of the
problems with that purple room is that it looks dull to me -
I'd brighten it up with a sunny colour! :)

Re: A Perfect Distraction (9:11am April 9, 2014):

Thanks for stopping by today, Pat! Your house sounds
gorgeous! Our bedroom will be red, when we get around to
painting it too!

Re: A Perfect Distraction (5:30pm March 5, 2014):

Aha, we have a lone tidy person, L Lam! Good to see someone
from the other side! ;)

Re: A Perfect Distraction (5:29pm March 5, 2014):

Thanks for stopping by, Colleen - glad to hear you have
organised clutter too!

Re: A Perfect Distraction (11:26am March 5, 2014):

Hi Peggy - hope you're feeling better! :)

Ah yes, you'll notice I haven't mentioned my craft stuff. I
have a lovely old carpenter's box to store my materials, but
I have magazines and patterns stacked in a corner of my
closet and current projects on top of that box!

There is a method in our madness, right?!

Re: A Perfect Distraction (3:42am March 5, 2014):

Thanks for stopping by, Melanie! Glad to know I have a
clutter twin!

Re: A Perfect Distraction (7:33am January 15, 2014):

Thanks for stopping by, Carol. I must admit that I rarely put
on a full face of make-up anymore. But I try to remember to
use lipstick, if nothing else :)

Re: A Perfect Distraction (7:31am January 15, 2014):

LOL glad I'm not alone, Linda. I love lipsticks and nail
polish, so always tend to have more of those than I'll ever
use. Especially as I work from home! Just before Christmas, I
had enough Boots (UK drugstore) points to replace my entire
make-up essentials for free - so I did!

Re: A Perfect Distraction (9:35am January 13, 2014):

Hi Peggy! Thanks for stopping by today! I'm so sorry for the
reason for your thriftiness, but am glad you are able to spare
some funds to treat yourself occasionally. Hope 2014 is a much
better year for you!

Re: A Perfect Distraction (6:10am November 29, 2013):

Hi Kai - thanks for visiting. It sounds like Rainbow Fire.
There was a series of books about a family running a jewellery
empire in Australia, which also feature opals (by Miranda
Lee), but the one set in Coober Pedy is by Emilie.

Re: A Perfect Distraction (6:08am November 29, 2013):

Hope you had a lovely holiday, Melanie! LOL yay for the girls
who like bling! :)

Re: A Perfect Distraction (6:06am November 29, 2013):

Oh how lovely, Sharon. What a special idea and how wonderful
to have that daily reminder of your love!

Re: A Perfect Distraction (6:03am November 29, 2013):

Thanks for stopping by, Laura! How nice that books inspire you
to carry on with unfinished craft projects! I have a few UFOs
at home too and time is running out for Christmas presents!

Re: A Perfect Distraction (5:57am November 29, 2013):

Hi Elaine - rubies are lovely. I have some pretty jewellery
with rubies in from my 16th birthday.

Re: A Perfect Distraction (5:46am November 29, 2013):

Hi Mary - good to see you. You love some very pretty stones -
jade and turquoise are so unusual!

Re: A Perfect Distraction (5:45am November 29, 2013):

Hi Cecilia - thanks for stopping by! Thank you so much for the
compliments on my book. I was very pleased with what Harlequin
did for me :) That's a great way of looking at things :)

Re: A Perfect Distraction (5:44am November 29, 2013):

Hi Tina! Yay! Another hockey fan! A Perfect Distraction is the
first in a series about the New Jersey Ice Cats, so plenty of
hockey and romance!

Re: A Perfect Distraction (5:43am November 29, 2013):

Hi Bonnie - good to see you! Sapphires are so beautiful -
years ago, in Sri Lanka, I saw the most amazing collection of
sapphires of all different colours.

Re: A Perfect Distraction (5:42am November 29, 2013):

Hi Elizabeth - thanks for visiting! Wow - that opal pendant
sounds gorgeous! Emilie was wearing a fabulous opal pendant
when I met her too. Very envious!

Re: A Perfect Distraction (5:14pm November 28, 2013):

Hi Sue! Thanks for stopping by today! Oh I bet your wedding
ring is gorgeous - emeralds are so pretty.

Re: A Perfect Distraction (5:14pm November 28, 2013):

Hi Carol - good to see you again! Interesting how many
amethyst lovers we have here today!

Re: A Perfect Distraction (5:13pm November 28, 2013):

Hey Susan - greetings winging back across the Pond to you! You
can have the diamonds I don't like, then :) Opals can be
brittle, but I think the more you wear them the stronger they
are. Something to do with the moisture from your skin. That's
my theory anyway :)

Re: A Perfect Distraction (5:10pm November 28, 2013):

Thanks for stopping by, Amy. Hope you're having a great day.

Re: A Perfect Distraction (1:56pm November 28, 2013):

LOL Vicki! Love a gal who knows what she likes! :)

Re: A Perfect Distraction (1:38pm November 28, 2013):

Hi Richard! Thanks for stopping by! Bonus points to you for
knowing your wife's birthstone :) Garnets are lovely - so rich
in colour.

Re: A Perfect Distraction (1:37pm November 28, 2013):

Good to see you here today, Gayle! Amethysts are lovely stones
- you should check out Tanzanites too!

Re: A Perfect Distraction (1:36pm November 28, 2013):

Thanks for stopping by, Maria! Have you seen Tanzanites? They
are the most gorgeous purple colour.

Re: A Perfect Distraction (10:00am November 28, 2013):

Hi Clydia - thanks for stopping by! Yay on being another opal
lover! Perhaps you need to be less subtle and show him what
you'd like ;)!

Re: A Perfect Distraction (9:59am November 28, 2013):

Hey Peggy! Looks like we have a lot in common! Thanks for
the tip. :) My birthstone is the peridot and I hate it! But
I'll happily have opals instead :)

I don't know when the announcement will go up, but you won a
copy of my book back in Sept. Please contact me via my
website with your snail mail details, so I can get your book
out to you.

Re: A Perfect Distraction (6:57am November 28, 2013):

Thanks, Jennifer! We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in the UK,
but I miss being in NJ and celebrating with our dear friends.

Hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday!

Re: A Perfect Distraction (6:56am November 28, 2013):

How cool, Courtney! Do you have a favourite crystal?

Re: A Perfect Distraction (6:56am November 28, 2013):

Thanks, Denise! :)

Re: A Perfect Distraction (6:16am October 27, 2013):

Hi Linda - thanks for stopping by! I'd love to meet him too -
we once missed him by seconds when we were in New York. He'd
been signing autographs outside the theatre he was performing
in and went inside just as we walked past - so I did get to
see his rear view ;)

Re: A Perfect Distraction (4:00pm October 26, 2013):

Hi Carol! Thanks for stopping by! How about any famous people,
not just sports people? Is there anyone you'd like to meet?

Re: A Perfect Distraction (1:04pm October 25, 2013):

Hi Peggy! Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. I
have to say that most of the players I met while researching
my books were humble and charming - even some who had tough
reputations on the ice.

I think it would be amazing to meet Helen Keller. Her story
is incredible - I remember being moved by it, as a child.
I'm so glad she inspired you and gave you the strength to
continue, so we can enjoy your company today!

Aren't you a Red Wings fan? ;) I think it would be
fascinating to meet Nik Lidstrom - everyone always talks
about how wonderful he is off the ice, as well as being
unbelievably talented on it.

I hope you enjoy A Perfect Distraction. Have a wonderful
day!

Re: A Perfect Distraction (5:42am October 25, 2013):

Welcome everyone! So, who would you like to meet and what
would you ask them if you did?
