We have several bases here with every branch including the Coast Guard. Since moving here I have a brand new understanding of what these soldiers and their families sacrifice for us. Thank you for giving so much! Kathy - I live in the Norfolk area and I work for a military contractor. We have several bases here with every branch including the Coast Guard.

I've been to Firenze and lived in Vicenza. Cool!! Gotta love the heroine's name. :-) Terrio, you've touched my heart. Your kind words mean a lot to me.

I hope the publishers catch on and find more books with a variety of settings. I know they have to be out there. Kim - that sounds great.

Ok...I know you didn't ask...but...I am working on a new book that begins in 1488 Firenze (Florence, Italy). As an artist by trade, I’ve always been a lover of the Renaissance era. I am a fan of incorporating historical figures into my books, Lorenzo the Magnificent makes an appearance in my next book. Laird Taveon Kraig travels to Italy in search of an amulet that is said to hold the heart of a woman who cursed his clan. In Italy, he meets Mistress Viviana Gorini de’ Medici Martinus da Vincenza, a ward of Lorenzo the Magnificent who has already suffered the burden of the marriage bed twice and has no desire to wed again. Until... Sorry, got carried away there. :) Yeah, terrio!

Thanks for stopping by. My local girls are all so supportive. See, Hellion, what you are missing out on. :) Kathy, Ahhh...the dreaded 'that'. Of course, you have to watch out for 'was' and 'to be' and 'this' and 'one'. Everytime I type a 'no-no' word an alarm sounds in my head. But remember, we have to vomit first and then clean up. LOL I used to get hung up on not using all 'those' words, but then I realized the core of what the reader is interested in is dialogue and people use those words in their speech so, we writers can use them, too. And, yes, that internal editor will smother your muse. Be strong! Don't let it!!! If that doesn't work, then, yes, reach for the rum. LOL Hey, Angie! Thanks for stopping by.
