Soooo sorry! I checked in here and there was nothing, and I checked in today, and there were more.

Sasha, Thanks for following me through all the lines! I know it’s been tough, because there have been a number of them! LOL I’d love to do more royalty books. I had so much fun with that first trilogy. From princesses to PTA Moms! LOL I’m glad you’re enjoy this series, too, despite their lack of crowns!

Tara, Thanks for watching for Confessions of a Party Crasher! I loved the book.

Oh, Holly, how awful for the line to close when your book is out! I’ll have to find the book. =)

Holly,

I’m a huge fan. I’ve followed you across lines and publishers. I just think your humor and unique way of putting together the perfect couple is spectacular!

I’m very much enjoying the Once Upon series. I’d love to see you write a huge series that involved royalty or a very rich family (lots of Princess sisters would be fun to read about!). :-)

Alyson, Thank you so much! That book is so special to me because it’s the one that helped me break into Harlequin. And yes, I love that song, too! Hope it was a fun roadtrip…we drove to and from Philly this weekend, seven hour each way. It was long, but fun. We saw Rent with two of the original cast members…so much fun!

Lizzie Beth, Yes, Avalons are totally G rated. Even the kisses are few and far between, which actually makes them interesting to write as far as developing a relationship. But I really have fun with them. The current series, Everything But a…(Groom, Bride, Wedding and next December a Christmas Eve) was especially fun. A Hungarian grandmother who accidentally curses her own family! LOL

Kara, I’m glad my post gave you something to think about. And thanks…I’m so glad you enjoyed the royalty books! I’m not planning anymore right now, though I do mention characters having coffee at Monarchs in one of the current books. And Pearly Gates from that Perry Square series still gets her own fan letters!

Tara, I’ve written on Single Title, Confessions of a Party Crasher, for Harlequin’s Signature line. The line died…the month COAPC was out was actually it’s last month. Yes, I killed it! LOL I don’t have another ST in the pipeline now, but I definitely think I’ll do another someday. And I’m writing for SuperRomance, too. Those are bigger, meatier books that are very close to ST. And my current trilogy, Once Upon a (Thanksgiving, Christmas and this month’s Valentine’s) is actually a big story broken down into three books.

Heather, So sorry about the computer problems!! Glad you made it!

Hi, Terescia! It’s nice to “see” you too. And yes, that was my point. I don’t know that the sensuality level matters as much as getting the emotions right!

Holly, it’s great to “see” you again! I read lots of erotic books, but I think the ones that really get it right are the books that get the emotion right. I love sex-less books just as much as I love sex-full books. It’s the emotion that does it every time. Real emotion is ultra-sexy–even if that emotion is dealt with in a lighthearted way. I get that feeling in pit of my stomach as I’m reading…and then I know I’ve read a sexy book!
