Linnea - Megan Sybil - O, I live in Palm Beach FL, right on the Intracoastal waterway, just a stone's throw from the ocean.
CYoTE - I noticed DREAM SNATCHER is listed as "other paranormal" -- I thought it was a psychic vampire. What category is vampire? Shape shifter?

Gail Crease - LOL, Robin. I thought he seemed way too independent to settle down
Sara - okay, how about the July to December authors? can we get introductions and tell us about your books, please!
KatBos - Robin, no, I don't think it would be a good thing for Zanth to have a mate.
Delyn - Hey, Zanth made noises otherwise in Heart Mate.
Ann K99 - what scent is the candle, Delyn?
Linnea - Megan Sybil - Beth's SCANDALOUS SPIRITS is set near Atlantic City but you don't need to know the place to LOVE the book -- such sexy ghosts! And the bar scene with the tequila... WOWZA!

KatBos - You tell 'em, Mac!!
Ann K99 - LOL Mac
Linnea - Megan Sybil - Val, stay warm in Orlando - chilly here in Palm Beach tonight!
val - Mac y'all definitely have accents! lol
RockinRobin - e
Lora Leigh - Proud of my accent
Lora Leigh - LOL
O - Mac
JanetMAgain - Um... Okay. I'm Janet Miller, and I'm a PNR author... I've been published since July with "Lady of the Knife" a short story that suddenly gained two more characters and became a whole lot more book than it was...
Gail Crease - Okay, POSEIDON'S KISS is very much a sea fantasy, about a promise made to the son of the god of the sea, and the woma chosen to fulfil it
Mac -
LindaBleser - I don't have an accent. Everyone who doesn't live in NY has an accent.
RockinRobin - All Kentucky women have an accent..
val - 43 here tonight - I did not come from England for this weather!!
TriceCyn - Hey everyone in every place has an accent!!!! It's nature at work i think??? //cluess
Delyn - Ann... I'm not really sure... I don't burn candles at my dad's, so all the ones that I have bought in the last four years will be waiting for me to finally buy a house.
Lora Leigh - Well, all accordin, Robin........LOL
Rose! - Evennin' Janet! and all
Gail Crease - Hi, Janet. Isn't it amazing how characters can just appear when you're writing a
RockinRobin - I can't wait to read Poseidon's Kiss.
Linnea - Megan Sybil - Janet's LADY, like my COMMAND, has 2 sets of heros/heroines... hmm, a trend, Janet?
Ann K99 - hi Rose
Sara - POSEIDON'S KISS is great
JanetMAgain - Action adventure with two heros, two heroines, and a horse named Bess... and one of the swordfighters almost gets killed because she's in labor while fighting... you don't want to play too long when you are doing this between contractions.
Ann K99 - okay, Delyn
Gail Crease - LOL. That should say, writing a book
Linnea - Megan Sybil - Gail, is KISS set contemporary or past times?
Sara - and I really want to get ACCIDENTAL GODDESS
Delyn - Mac, this northerner doesn't have an accent... until I go to Boston, or south of the M/D line.
Ann K99 - Janet..talk about LABOR twice over..
Lora Leigh - I had Broken Wings release this week, under the pen name Shadoe Simmons
Ann K99 - fighting while giving birth
RobinDOwens - Sniff, Poseidon's Kiss is sold out, so I bought The Dream Spinner.
Gail Crease - KISS is contemporary, just the hero is a god
JanetMAgain - Yep... I had a nice little short story... then woke up with "and then a year later" in my mind. My sister invented Emma. She wanted me to give Martin a love interest.
RobinDOwens - Lora, I just read Meange A Magick last night, isn't that yours?
Linnea - Megan Sybil - Cool, Gail! So the heroine is just like us and runs into a sea god - way cool! Can this happen to me in Palm Beach?
JanetMAgain - Little did I expect that the Martin/Emma love story would take over the book!
Ann K99 - Gail...I loved THE DREAM SPINNER...haven't read POSEIDON yet
Rose! - I am not gonna say much...I can't seem to put together a coherent sentence today! !
Gail Crease - Oh, I sure hope so! I wouldn't mind seeing Nicolas come ashore on my beach!
Linnea - Megan Sybil - I really liked Emma, Janet. She's worthy of her own book, IMHO.
Lora Leigh - Yes it is
RobinDOwens - Martin is pretty cool. Excellent character growth for Emma, Janet.
Lora Leigh - Menage is mine
Lora Leigh - Did you enjoy it?
Gail Crease - Ann, thank you so much!
Ann K99 - You're welcome, Gail
RobinDOwens - I really liked the concept. It was too short. When will your sequel be out?
Mac - I'm going into lurk mode....want to get more pages done...11 just isn't enough.
Lea - hi all
RobinDOwens - Ok, Mac. Take care.
LindaBleser - Hi Jacki!
