Well, I’ve been running around like a crazy person trying to get ready for Dallas. There was loads to clear up before I go, and loads more to do for the trip, so I’ve been neglecting.my blog, as usual. Sorry. Doubt you all would want to hear about paperwork and shopping anyway <grin>
Resa, you’re absolutely right, it’s just the forum Dave will be helping with, and that’s only when I get too busy to comment myself, though he’s welcome to jump in and comment anytime.
KJ, yes I DID write him. Too weird huh? As for the soul mates and circle theories, I’d believe that, because I never had any intention of going to England, and he had no desire to visit Canada and the chances of our being in a city like New York at the same time not to mention meeting with millions of people and tourists there was probably pretty slim. And yet we met, spent all our time talking to each other as comfortably as if we’d known each other forever, and then took it from there. So . . . shrug. Guess I was lucky. You want to hear something even weirder when it comes to soul mate theories and such? When I was eight or nine and my older sister was eleven or twelve our parents took us to a town Christmas dinner thingy at “the hall” The legion or something. We walked in and she and I were standing there and she fastened her eyes on this fella across the hall and then I think she asked who he was, at least I recall someone telling her who he was and then she turned to me and said, “I’m going to marry him, someday.” Just like that, with all the certainty that the sun would rise the next morning. I didn’t seem to think it odd at the time, just shrugged and took note of the guy. Four or five years later they started dating and after University they did marry and are still very happily married with two kids. The subject came up afterward about that announcement she made that day, and it turns out that it was a memorable first sighting for her now husband too. He recalls that party, and seeing her, and could recall what she wore and everything. It was like they were meant to be or something. Shrug. Life is strange sometimes.
Fox, the forum is a part of my website where some readers like to go and talk and try to finagle plots of future stories out of me. NAUGHTY!! But when I was really busy there for a while, I couldn’t answer their questions as quick as I’d like so Dave has offered to step in and help when necessary. The Key, huh? I’m surprised you didn’t try one of the vamps first, but you must let me know what you thought of “The battle of the belt” as some readers were calling it. I had great fun with The Key but some guys just aren’t in to historicals, though I write all my books with the same sense of humor. If you hate it, give a vamp a try.
Jen, my darling, you are more than welcome to be the talking donkey, lol. Hope everything’s going smoothly with the new house business.
Well, I got the cover for the Holidays are Hell anthology and I think it’s too cool. The best part is my character wears the dress on the cover <grin> Mr. Spice is going to post it here for you guys to see. Let me know what you think.
Take Care
Lynsay, who’s looking forward to seeing some of you in Dallas.
I am looking forward to the Holidays are Hell. I love all the authors. Actually Vicki Pettersson is a new author I just started reading. Kim Harrison had recommended her on her forum. Have fun in Dallas hope the rain stops for you. Wish I could go.Cher
Glad you\’ve found a bit of time to donate to your blog 🙂
I am enjoying The Key – my only problem, is that she seems to be "biting her lip" or "worrying at her lip" far too much!! hahaha
here\’s me giving you criticism!! – I am praying that I get time/chance to finish it before I get my hands on the final Harry Potter – I am such a sad act it\’s untrue.
Hope everything goes good for you in Dallas, and that you don\’t wake up in the shower and realise that it\’s all been a dream!!!
FoX
I love the book cover! Wish the back of my legs looked so good! LOL
I hope you are enjoying your trip to Dallas! Come by North or South Carolina sometime, OK? Do I have to lobby the romance writer\’s association to have a convention here? We\’ve got a very nice conference center! 🙂
Oh, guess what! I read a story about real nasty vampires and didn\’t become paralyzed with fear! It was a trilogy by Nora Roberts: Morrigan\’s Cross, Dance of the Gods, and Valley of Silence. So… your kinder, gentler vampires seem to have eased my fear of them! Thank you! 😛
Get home safe,
HUGS -Jen
I just re-read my comment and realized how many exclaimation points I used. If you can just imagine… I talk exactly how I write!
(I totally win The Biggest Dork contest!)
Just stopping by to say Hi…glad you were able to get on and comment…honestly I\’m at the point where I\’m relearning everything all over again. Having gotten to a cool level of blog thingy proficiency, I have now found that the year plus of non use has resulted in my brain totally forgetting everything it knew. Still trying to work out how to post pictures into my blog.Love the new cover by the way. How was/is Dallas??
