Hi Ellen! Hi Gail!
LOL on being first. I always love that, don't know why!
I haven't seen anyone mentioning it (maybe on the writing SRS board? is it still separate?) but is anyone going to give the SRS pitch in October a try? I am! I'm currently working on a suspense story, so we'll see how that goes. I'm only 2 chapters in so far, but so far, so good. I've got ideas. I'm struggling with plotting -- necessary since there's more mystery than usual for me, but I'm a panster at heart, not a plotter. <sigh>
I picked up Justine Davis' Redstone book for my TBR pile. Sheesh, after the booksigning, it's awfully high! I used to buy, and read immediately. Now, since I'm writing, my reading gets further and further apart. I no like, but I really want to write, too.
Gail, that mystery workshop (Sisters in Crime) at the Fred. library was terrific! I really enjoyed hearing them speak, and speaking with them afterwards. The two hours went really fast. I sent DH and DD off to the movies, and then just...relaxed and listened.
Prepublished and workin' to change that!

). But the trip was worth it.

His Personal Mission...
I just finished His Personal Mission by Justine Davis. It was sooooo good!
wj
His Personal Mission was very god.
I keep waiting for Josh to get his own book and fall for his pilot. Why can't I find a company like that to work for? Too bad there are is not a real company like Redstone.

The chat was fun but there weren't many people there. We need to think up something exciting for next month. Any suggestions?

Medusa's Master by Cindy Dees
I loved it. What a combination two highly motivated, intelligent, trained operatives falling in lust while on a mission. The book speed along at a wonderful pace. The aphrodisiac is a man acceptance of your core person. Great job Ms. Dees.
Question???
Hi - when are the SRS chats? When's it going to be in September? and what is the October pitch all about? :)

THANKS for the congrats guys, I am now OUT OF AFRICA ...
...and home to a warm welcome:- a box of books and the Top Pick from Romantic Times Magazine. I'd now love to give away several early copies of COLD CASE AFFAIR to any SRS reader who wants to do a reader review for either the eHarlequin site here, or Amazon, Barnes and Noble or Borders etc. Drop me a line at loreth.anne@gmail.com if you're interested in an early release copy of my October Wild Country book.
Here’s what RT had to say:
COLD CASE AFFAIR (4.5) by Loreth Anne White: The sad legacy of Safe
Harbor, Alaska, is the bomb that killed 12 miners including Muirinn’s
father. When her grandfather dies, Muirinn returns home for the first
time in years and runs into Jett, the great love of her life, and the
reason she’s stayed away. While the passion between them hasn’t died,
they both have some big secrets. When Muirinn learns that her
grandfather was following up on clues regarding the still unsolved
bombing and was murdered, she and Jett vow to finally find out the
truth. White hits the jackpot with this newest addition to the Wild
Country series. There’s an intriguing mystery, but the real pull is
the passion and magic between this dynamic pair.

My dad
Thanks, everyone. He went in for knee replacement surgery and everything has gone wrong. We are now over a week later and don't know if he will even survive! It has been horrendous. Every day is a roller coaster; every time he improves, he has another set back. Right now we don't know if he'll ever come home. I'll say one thing: this has sure soured me on having ANY elective surgery!!!!!

Too Quiet on the Homefront...
Ok, things are a bit too quiet here. What's everyone reading? I have some many books to read...Some of August, September and October... Where should I start?
wj
Ok!
I get to tell my tales of woe. The Sony Ereader is broken so I have to send it to the company to replace. That means I have to take everything off it. I am not reading these books on my computer. I guess I will be reading physical books for the time being. Believe me I have enough to keep busy but I have been spoiled. I will sort through them tomorrow. First order of business is to send the Ereader off so I can get it back fast.
Reading
I have just finished reading Loreth Anne White's Cold Case Affair and Beth Cornelison's The Christmas Stranger and they were both fantastic. I posted reviews in the book challenge.

Hi everybody
Hi all, it's been a while since I've visited--I've been way too busy lately. But after making some good progress on a couple of projects, I've decided to come up for air. Can any recommend any good titles to read??
Gail, sorry to hear about your dad, I wish him a speedy recovery.

hi
Hi La-Tessa! My dad is actually coming home from the hospital tomorrow, which is a miracle. A three day stay to have his knee replaced has turned into a month-long nightmare, during which he nearly died. He still has a long ways to go physically to even get back to where he was before the surgery, but we are thrilled that he made it this far.

New Look...
Excitement....
Take a look at the new SRS covers for 2010...
oh wow. i love the new
oh wow. i love the new covers. I like that they did away with the solid color border and expanded the picture size and minimized the category line title. They really pop this way.

Covers
I agree with Kelley......I like the new covers a lot better than the old ones. They also seem to be a little more colorful.

Thank you Wayne for posting
Thank you Wayne for posting the covers. I do not have the best of eye sight and therefore I'll know what to look for. I do like the look of the covers.
I like the new look too.
I like the new look too. I like to see covers with the hero/heroine at the top and then a scene from the story/setting at the bottom.

New covers- Wow!
I hadn't seen the new look for the covers before you posted them, Wayne. Wow! They are eye-catching! Beautiful!
