Patricia McLinn - LOL, Lynne0824.
Tracey - bye Sara
Lindsay McKenna - The crossline was an interesting exercise

Lynne0824 - Morgan & Laura are the most loved characters i think!! what a romance they have!! *sigh*
Lindsay McKenna - The only line I hadn't written for before was the Silhouette line itself
Patricia McLinn - Oh, Rose! Warrenton's a lovely area. And Cantebury Cottage sounds great
Lindsay McKenna - The difference is amount of words forced me to decide which story to tell and when. Some stories had larger plots than others.
Mary f - What! No hi Lynne wait till we meet next time~

Rose! - Mac...I loved what you have done on the Chronicles at Christine's EZ board.
Lindsay McKenna - It was tough...I had a lot of index cards around with who, what, where, when and why
Tracey - I strongly agree Lynne....Morgan and Laura are my all time fave couple
Hunt4Me2 has timed out.
Lindsay McKenna - It was a good break from doing just one line, so I really enjoyed it. Hopefully, the readers like it too

molli - you did a great job on them, I have all 4 , now to get them back from my kid
Lindsay McKenna - It was a good break from doing just one line, so I really enjoyed it. Hopefully, the readers like it too

Lindsay McKenna - Does that answer your question?
Mac - Ty....they were fun to write.
Lexi - we love all your books.
Lindsay McKenna - Molli...your kids? how old are they? eeek
Lynne0824 - Ms. Mckenna, if you need help hanging on to those index cards...I'll hold em for ya!!

Rose! - I cqan send you a picture if you want...or you can go to www.pendragondale.com/ the picture of the house there is her B&B
Lindsay McKenna - Lexi, thanks....you folks are the reason I keep on truckin' on some days

molli - she's 15 and steals all your books as soon as they enter the house
Lindsay McKenna - Lynne, haha, okay...I really need a full time secretary...sigh
williska - Lindsay - Great answer, thanks! What kept me reading the series was the real threat of a great earthquake - you just had to find out what the military would be able to do to save lives and bring back order - great concept!
Lindsay McKenna - Molli, oh, 15...well, that's better than 12...I understand from some of my readers, they let 12 year olds read them and I wince
Tracey - I was 15 when i began reading Sil books.....haven't regretted a single book
Lindsay McKenna - Williska, I was in the fire dept as a fire fighter and trained EMT, so everything I wrote about is what they would REALLY do
Lynne0824 - Ms. McKenna..I WORK REALLY CHEAP..pretty good secretary, but I think that my reading your index cards could get in the way of working!!
Lindsay McKenna - Hopefully, the books will educate and maybe, save lives....
molli - lol lindsay.. its costing me big bucks now..she's into orchids since reading your books
Lindsay McKenna - Tracey...15 is an okay age....I have no winces on that one :-0
molli - makes a great homeschooling project
Lindsay McKenna - molli....yeah, orchids can be darned expensive. I pick mine up at Home Depot!!
CyberAuntKaren has timed out.
williska - Lindsay - loved that detail. Even us office workers have to ramp up our disaster recovery plans since 911 - made your series that much more topical.
Mac - Ok...maybe that'll help...too many Greens.
Lindsay McKenna - Lynne, haha...well, I'm sure you can do more than that!
shey - Hiya Mac
Lexi - molli get her involved in the orchid societies. Many times they give away babies.
Lindsay McKenna - I've been in 6.3 earthquake--so I know the deal on it

Rose! - But Mac...you look beautiful in green!
molli - we have a meeting next week lexi

Hunt4Me2 - may i ask a question?
Lindsay McKenna - Is Mollie with Orchid Society? THe national one?
Tracey - Lindsay.....which character was the hardest to write about...in the MM series......The one I found to wrap itself around my heart was Inca.
Lindsay McKenna - I have one orchid tht has more kiki's than you can shake a stick at....no blooms....just kiki's....
molli - not yet Lindsay, just sent in registration
Lindsay McKenna - The MM series??? ALL of them? egads
Mac - Yes, but all the greens were beginning to blur together...lol
Hunt4Me2 - does anyone here write paranormal?
Patricia McLinn - Hmmm, I went to look at the picture and had some system strangeness
Lynne0824 - Inca was a heartbreaker to read!
Patricia McLinn - But picture was worth it, Rose! What a great place -- have you been there
shey - that's why I'm in orange
molli - yes it was..but it had a happy ending

Lindsay McKenna - Inca was tough to write about--she was hard edged and if I wasn't careful, she could turn readers off...so there was a lot of 'fine lines' with her
Tracey - yes, which character was the hardest to write about.??? and do you have a fave??
molli - presonally Maya is my favorite
Rose! - Yeah, I know all about system strangeness!!!
Mac - I write paranormals...though I am not yet published....I am however one step closer to that status...

Lindsay McKenna - Oh, well, I LOVE Maya, haha
Lexi - molli get her involved in the orchid societies. Many times they give away babies.
Lindsay McKenna - She was easy to write about; I could show her humanity and in Inca, that wasn't always possible
williska - BTW Lindsay - the scenes when Morgan was looking for Laura after the earthquake - WOW - very compelling.
Tracey - Inca's story got no complaints from me!!!! The books before that I was worried about what type of story she would have but I LOVED it....well done
Lynne0824 -
Lindsay McKenna - Tracey, my personal favorite is Maya...which is why I keep writing about the BJS...so work with HER

molli - when do we get Jason story Lindsay?
Rose! - No, not since the fire in February. It used to have a thached roof...that is what saved it from total destruction...the thatch refused to burn!
shey - do you find your heroes or your heroines easier to write?
Lindsay McKenna - Tracey, thanks....I sweated Inca...but from all the emails and letters, a lot of women loved her and continue too....so do I
Lynne0824 - Bye Ms. Mckenna...thank you!
Tracey - I found Maya great too....no character that I haven't found great....can't wait for more!!!!

Lindsay McKenna - Shey, I am at ease with either one. I was in the military, so it's easy to get into a man's mind and emotions...I had 3 years of watching these guys under a magnifying glass, haha
Lindsay McKenna - Bye Lynne
Lexi - Is there an area you haven't explored that you still want to?
Lindsay McKenna - Yes, and I may well get the chance to do it soon
Lindsay McKenna - The area of the paranormal in more detail than in the Black Jaguar series
Patricia McLinn - Going to say good night, too -- thanks to all you gracious folks for letting this SSE interloper in!

Catherine Mann - I think the official chat is over, but we can hang out - someone please correct me if I'm wrong

Lindsay McKenna - What do you folks usually chat about in here?

shey - Thanks Lindsay, Linda, Cathy and Candace for taking time out to chat to us all
Lindsay McKenna - I like your series, Catherine...well done
Lexi - but that we had to behave

shey - you sure can Cathy...we're known for chatting long after the chats are over

Mary f - You can stay as long as you like Catherine! I lurk ON Lori's list it's fun seeing you pop up there!
Lexi - Yes, though I'm just discovering other authors
Tracey - I will read anything with a man in uniform Lindsay....it's my weakness

Catherine Mann - I mean - see?! I was so flustered I couldnt' even type!!
molli - <----reads any romance I can get my hands on lol
Lexi - I've read LMK books for about (it seems) at least 10 years
Lindsay McKenna - I like seeing more military romance; nice to see something I start finally take off and shoot for the sky
Lindsay McKenna - Our military men and women deserve good praise and the civilians understand they're good people, too
shey - I love military romance books....
Catherine Mann - Cool, Mary! I'm all set with a few diet cokes and ready to chat!
molli - little tidbits like upcoming characters etc

Tracey - I've been reading Lindsay's work since the Morgan's Mercenaries series began
Lindsay McKenna - Men in uniform are MY weakness, too, haha
naughty - me to molli.
shey - and a man in uniform just tops it off
Lexi - Working at Vandenberg, it's nice to see my "friends" put in a romantic light that they should be in.
molli - I"m still catching up tracey...just need 2 more
Lindsay McKenna - Well....I'm going to contract here shortly...tomorrow...on Justine Trayhern's book. How's that for a tidbit?

Catherine Mann -

I have to admit a weakness for that flight suit!
Mac - I think I've come up with an idea for a great horror novel...Postal Terrors...about a writer who gets a request for chapters from a publishing company, and then can't mail it because the postal workers are IDIOTS.
williska - I really gotta go - I've got a "guest" coming over (don't I wish he was a military hero!) - Lindsay - I love military romance if it is written with research to make it accurate - both sides - the strength and the weakness of the military - one of my real favourites is Merline Lovelace - really strong characters who make you respect their commitment to the military - night all!
Mary f - OH NO where is Barb with her pepsi! LMAO
Tracey - I am hoping that Catherine will continue on with her books and I can return yrs later and say the same about her work
Catherine Mann - Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!

Catherine Mann - I don't know who the third is .....
Tracey - just what I wanted to hear Cathy!!!!!
Lindsay McKenna - Catherine...I'd hope not...you don't fix a wheel that ain't broke

Lexi - Catherine, I certainly examined your book to see if you had the AF details correct, and it was really nice to see you "knew what you were doing"

williska - OK - you also all gotta love Suzanne Brockman's books - one more month until her newest! Ya!
Catherine Mann - I'm sooooo excited about the project though, I can't stop grinning!
Lindsay McKenna - I'll ask my editor

She' always has the scoos

shey - I don't suppose you ever do have an end with a series on people in the armed forces/cops etc the way you do with a family series...I mean you can run out of brothers and sisters and cousins and.....
Mary f - Can't wait

Lindsay McKenna - that is: scoops. I can't type tonight either, haha
molli - lol will isitnovember26yet?
Tracey - williska.....I pre-ordered Suz's book already.....wanted to be sure I got a copy....can't wait till the end of this month!!!
Catherine Mann - Thanks bunches, Lexi! My hubby is active duty AF - flies bombers. He's a real prince about reading every word I write before it goes in
Lindsay McKenna - Well, if you're going to write a series like I do--or that Catherine is doing--you don't write yourself INTO a corner...you write yourself OUT of it
Sara has timed out.
Mac - Yes....dang it...went to two different post offices yesterday...first one says "I can't do that, we don't deal in international postage" sheesh...calls another and says they will, and sends us to the next town. I need an international postal reply coupon OR international money order...the jackass at post office #2 has an international money order IN HIS HANDs and refused to sell me one...he said they won't accept it, so he wouldn't sell it tome..and my post office doesn't carry them...so I handed the mailing duties over to dad..he tries tomorrow.
Lexi - Too bad he wasn't here for the VAFB Air show this past weekend!
Catherine Mann - Thanks, Lindsay!

williska - Molli and Mary - are you checking out the countdown on Suzanne's web site
shey - and I;'m sure he'd nag you if the details were incorrect wouldn't he Cathy?
Lindsay McKenna - You want to have a group that can expand...like a squadron...you always have people leaving and coming in on duty assignments
molli - will we hear more about Morgan and Laura's new baby Lindsay?
molli - lol will..I"m a frequent poster and part of the RCMP
Lindsay McKenna - Molli, yes, you will--in Jason's book
Lexi - And deploymen is a God send??
Mary f - yes I am
Catherine Mann - Yep, Shey ... that miltiary attention to detail comes in handy!
shey - good luck Mac...I know how that goes with the international problems in sending material to the US or Canada
Mac - I'm afraid I can't deal with another post office right now..someone might get hurt.
Lindsay McKenna - Catherine, have you flown in any of the USAF planes?

molli - will Suz will be putting up a drawing my 15yo did of her as part of the countdown
Catherine Mann - KC-135
Catherine Mann - got to lay down in the boomers pod - was sooo wild!
Lindsay McKenna - Ah, yes...I did a tour in those, too...I also got to see the boom from the other end, flying in a B-52
shey - I suppose the only way a family can expand is if you write the next generation afterwards...I wonder if anyone has done that.....I suppose authors with longevity have thought about that in the past
Lexi - LOL
Catherine Mann - My hubby started out in B-52's - he works B-2 tests now
Lexi - Beatrice Small is about on her 3 or 4th generation
williska - Cool Molli - I'll check it out. Had your 15 yr old met Suzanne?
