KarenFox - Oh, that's not fair, SueK. Your Fae are uniquely yours and I love them.
MaryJoPutney -  for Sonya
elizajane202 - or that you'll crash a sledgehammer into it
SueK - The reviewer didn't seem to think that any sort of Fae, Fane or what have you should be in any kind of story except light and funny--but if mine were like that, it would be like yours!
Gail Crease - Wow, you guys are good. This is only my second time on chat, and I'll still tryin to get the hang of it
__sonya__ - ooh good!
RobinDOwens2 -

SueK - Sandra, I know Landry is a common name ... one of the reasons I chose it. Other names I use are Daigle and Arceneaux.
Sabrina Moses - Ack! I can't wait till the season's past 
KarenFox - Exactly, Sue. That's why we can both write those stories and have fun doing it. I actually love dark myself.
RobinDOwens2 - Hmmmm. Sue, I thought it was a GOOD review, guess I'll go and look at it again.

AnnK99 - hi Caffey
Caffey - Hi Deb
RobinDOwens2 - Hi, Caffey.

Mary f - Hello Caffey
Gail Crease - Mary Jo, I'm just reading Wild Child. Fantastic!
SueK - Robin ... you're kidding. You thought it was a good review? It's one of the worst I've gotten. Maybve we're thinking of different reviews...

AnnK99 - 
RobinDOwens2 - Probably, Sue.
AnaSeymour - Hi everyone—happy holidays! I hope you’re all staying warm! I’m from Minnesota and we usually have the worst of winter, but I guess many of you East and South are suffering at the moment. Some of you might want to pick up a copy of my December release MAID OF KILLARNEY to warm up a winter night!
KarenFox - How much snow do you have, Ruth? I'd love some myself.
MaryJoPutney - Gail, I'm so glad you enjoyed The Wild Child. That story had some magic I can't take credit for.

Mary f - Hello Emma
RebeccaYork - But it will probably ice up tonight.
SueK - I lived in Toronto for three years and don't miss the LONG winters, eithe4r, but the way snow falls in Albuquerque it would be just about perfect if it snowed a little more often. It seldom sticks!
