Of course, I'm working right now instead of commenting on my blog... ;-) Thanks for stopping by! Brooke: Egad. I'm depressed just thinking about your summer line up. It's settled, then. Absolutely, you need to cozy up with one of my books and lose yourself in a fun story that is completely devoid of tragic deaths (um, except for Return To Emmett's Mill). May I recommend A Kiss To Remember? I think you'll love it! Ellen: Thank you! It's always pleasurable to hear nice things twice. :-) Thanks for stopping by. So, people are still trickling in. I will give it a day or so and then pick a winner! That's the fun part. Kim Marg: *waving* Hey look, it’s my other editor!

I love covers with babies and men and throw in the mother and it ups it a notch. And this particular baby is a cutie. I mentioned this elsewhere…You have

I, however, am at fault like Kristen. This year was a crazy school year with having to take over Mrs. Hays' Advanced Placement English class before spring break (she's out on medical leave). I was having to read and teach books I hadn't read in 20 years, novel that she taught me (Grapes of Wrath, etc, not very light reading). Kids were reading ahead of our 60 page a night schedule and wanting to talk about it; I'd just tell them, "I'm on track. I can't discuss that with you because I haven't read it yet." Those damn overachievers. Since I will be taking over the class next year my summer is filled with reading The Scarlet Letter (good ol' Hester Prynne), Gatsby, Hamlet, Brave New World, Huck Finn, Othello. . . Maybe I should just go to a depression clinic because they're all tragedies, and somebody dies in every single one except maybe Huck Finn, where I think only the villain dies. On second thought, maybe I will have to squeeze in one of your books, so I won't have to feel like jumping off a cliff. Congrats, mon amie! Very cool, Kim. I, however, am at fault like Kristen.

Hey, I read a book last year on vacation, who's to say I can't do it again!? Do you believe I actually added a comment? Yes, I'm having a hard time with it, myself. Keep on writing! Hey Kim

The people look so real and approachable. And what's not to love about an adorable blond baby? I'm equally happy with my Sept. cover. The art department really nailed my sexy, brooding hero. A first for me! Tell John that Deb's husband has read all of her books and is just about done with the May one. And I don't beat him or anything. :-) Deb I love your new cover, Kim.

John made a deal with me and he said he will read all my books (up until this new one) by my birthday. I told him he'd better hurry...he's running out of time! Dulcey: Thanks! I truly love this cover, although I still think Nora's story is still my favorite...something about Nora's smile that totally grabs me. It's so genuine and TOTALLY Nora! Hey, did I tell you I heard from Nicole Grogan? She doesn't live far from you... Kristen: Yes, you and John are WAY behind!
