Well, I feel like I sort of squelched the happy flow of comments by announcing I had to leave in a couple of hours, so my heart felt apologies for that - I didn’t intend to bring a halt to the discussion in any way. However, “in a couple of hours” is officially now, so I must sign off.

I want to take this opportunity to thank the pirates for inviting me to blog - it’s been a blast, and I’m so gratified by the great discussion we’ve had today. Sorry I have to sign off so early, and as promised, I will very gladly check back in here tomorrow morning, so if anyone has any more comments or questions, feel free to let ‘em fly : )

Thank you all so much for your support - this has truly been great fun, and I look forward to coming back in June when LETTERS TO A SECRET LOVER is out : ) Pirates rock!

Terrio - I keep thinking he’ll show up at my house, too, but he never does. I’ve pondered this and I think it might have something to do with him being fictional and all ; )

Seriously, though, that is tres flattering! I’m quite honored to hear that Jake rates SO highly with you. I will admit that, although I go through that thing when I finish a book where I miss spending time with the characters, with Jake, I missed him worse than usual. ; )

I think maybe that’s one reason I like that polishing-the-manuscript part so much. I get to revisit them right away : )

Oh, I have a quick question. So, when can you send Jake to my house? I’ve been waiting for him to show up at my door but I must say I’m getting a bit impatient.

And I hope you don’t take this the wrong way but In Your Wildest Dreams is the one time I didn’t want the heroine to have the hero. LOL! I’ve read hundreds (if not more) heroes and Jake is just perfect. Now, when can I expect him?

Aw, thank you, Kathy! And thank you, too, Terri - and I’ll be sure to pass on your congrats to my roommate - her name is Jackie Floyd, by the way, in case you guys want to cheer for her on awards night : )

Hey Terri - about sex scenes, yes and no : ) Since, between the 2 types of books, I’ve written a LOT of sex scenes in my day, I will admit there are times when I get tired of writing sex. But this happens more with the Lacey books than the Toni books. With the Lacey books, I’m sure it has something to do with the amount of sex in the book period ; ) But with the Toni books, I try to get around the issue by coming at it with emotion. What I mean by that is that when writing a Toni book, each sex scene really does feel different to me than in previous books because I’m so into the characters’ heads. So I try to truly see the whole thing as if I were that person - have experienced what they’ve experienced, are in the exact same moment of life as they are. And since each character and story are different, that really does allow me to see - and write about - the sex differntly, too. Or at least I hope it does ; )
