I'm so grateful for the friends I've made in this business. They're shoulders to cry on and they're always ready to kick their heels up for a good news party! Have fun at the launch and please congratulate Pamela for me! That's fantastic news about her book! <br /><br />Hey, cool about finding MRS! Yeah, I have a giggle every time I read that opening line.

And again, thos...Julia, I'm having a ball here. And again, those were fabulous questions! <br /><br />Actually one of the things all this blogging and promo has taught me is what I like and don't like - and I suspect I'm thinking as a reader rather than a writer. I love a blog/site where there's a sense of community. I love a blog/site where it's not all hard sell. I love sites where there's something extra because I took the trouble to look up the author. Some authors do pieces about what they're reading or where they travel or their pets or their favorite films. I love those enriching elements. I'm so glad you guys have enjoyed the internet presence - honestly, I do it because I enjoy it! Hey, and thanks for saying I'm fascinating - should frame that, snort! Or perhaps save it for the family! LOL!<br /><br />And you're definitely a ruby!

And I'll be joining them! It's her debut book, a bio-medical thriller, and it's REALLY big. It's the biggest breakout debut from our group - so far ;-)<br /><br />Just wanted to let you know I scooped up a copy of My Reckless Surrender when I grabbed a bite after work.

There...Hey, Janet, another vote for Aussie history! There have been some really romantic books set here - I remember Catherine Gaskin's Sarah Dane when I was a young un. It was one of my mum's faves. And that was a convict story (based on a real-life convict called Mary Reiby who was transported for a prank of riding on her neighbor's horse. She was charged with horse-stealing and sent to Australia at the age of 16. She ended up being one of the richest people in the colony, a major merchant and power in the growing nation. Go, Mary!). And Candice Proctor, who writes the marvelous C.S. Harris Regency mysteries now, wrote a few great romances set here. I'm not AGAINST the idea. I just don't particularly want to write a book set here myself! Happy to read them! <br /><br />Hey, a KW fan! I think I've got a job now because those books sold like hot cakes (actually there were exceptionally hot for the time!). This was way back in the late 70s and bodice ripping medievals were the big thing in romance then. I still remember the exhilaration of writing that book - nothing like ripping through a story like that!Anna Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695579361323275316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2715650832746263882.post-25095920284512638722010-06-03T18:08:58.480-03:002010-06-03T18:08:58.480-03:00Melanie, thanks so much for supporting the BN auct...Melanie, thanks so much for supporting the BN auction. I think it's such a good cause, not even the Visa minds a workout! Didn't they have some fabulous prizes?

Or your brig full of dirty, ragged convicts... Um! And definitely we're worth visiting - the natives are pretty friendly, the scenery is amazing and it's actually a really easy, pleasant place to be. Nice food. Comfy beds. Pretty things to look at. Fuzzy animals! Civilized plumbing! <br /><br />Oh, I had quite a crush on Tarquin! And when he falls, he falls hard which I always love in a hero!

Thanks for say...Hey, Laurie, aren't you lovely? Thanks for saying how much you're enjoying MRS! Yeah, that carriage ride had me blushing! It's odd just how many love scenes feature in each book - COS was fairly low in terms of number (although I hope the intensity made up for it!) whereas this one, they needed to be doing it like rabbits for the story to make sense. <br /><br />And what a lovely thing to say about promo. I DO enjoy it and I've made such wonderful friends over the internet including the pirates and the vixens and the Roundtablers and... Yeah, you know! I think the romance community - readers and writers - has the smartest and most interesting people I've ever met. Which always makes me mad when people who don't read romance dismiss us a lot of brain-dead frustrated women! <br /><br />Hey, really looking forward to my visit to the Roundtable tomorrow! You guys have always been so supportive of me, I appreciate it to my socks!Anna Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695579361323275316noreply@blogger.com
