Love: Historical Style

Skin tight breeches??  Warrior swords??  Yeah, I'll stay a while

I just picked up Barbarian King, Virgin Slave...looks good!

Yes, I found the room :)))  but am getting a bit confused trying to get my profile and signature sorted out.     The 'on sale now! thingy doesn't seem to work.  And I am not sure about the link to my website either.    Let's see if this works.

Hi

I still can't get my signature right.   It won't show my website, nor my full name at the top.  ;(((  Think I will try again in the morning.

It is a filthy night here in London, the rain is hurling itself at the windows in bucketloads!!

 Best wishes

Nearly there with the sig, except the weblink looks pretty odd.  I think there may be a character limit with the signatures, which might be why it didn't work earlier.   (I never could summarise!!)

I have a dreadful time having a partner....I am in grad school which does restrict my reading/writing time....I will actually get to go to an RWA meeting and meet people, which might help, but currently my attempts at a partner have been online and I.....well, I feel like because I'm inexperienced in ...uhhh....relationships....people don't believe I'm 30.

I really am 30!  I happen to not be plain at all, so I guess all the men in Memphis are idiots---my only explanation for never  getting a date.  I'm not very career-oriented, does that scare the modern male?  I DO want to wait until I marry, to give myself only to my husband, but I'm constantly surrounded by married people and women--NOT my fault I haven't had experience.  Does that lack of experience mean I can't write?  So I understand a sheltered medieval heroine really really well----I just feel that I'm not able to keep a cp because they think I"m not really 30.  It's actually kind of sad.  Would they like me to run out and toss my virginity out the window so I can have 'experience?'  Thanks, but I'm waiting for the right guy, because that way we'll be a perfect fit!  I'm kind of glad I haven't dated, the right man will be the one who asks me out and anyone else is missing a lovely, loving, smart, young lady who can cook anything he wants to eat!  HA! I'd LOVE to actually have the experience of a kiss, but what, I can't write about a kiss from imagination, from observation? 

Sorry, just aggrivated at modern humans at the moment.

I'm really likeing the new layout. Very new and fun too. Have found my way around pretty well and I am already used to it! I also like the new name for this thread as well, it fits to any historical theme.

Michelle,

How DID you get that weblink on your signature?

Best wishes

Carol

Thanks, Michelle,

I did that (100 times), but will try again

Best Carol

Hurrah!   Got the weblink on the signature, but had to lose part of the titles of my books .   Guess I was using too many keystrokes!

LOL on the fencing, Rae!  My kids would want to jump right in.    I don't mind the glitches... I can't seem to do anything on the computer without running into them... so I expected them.  Besides... I am having fun!

I still have not had any problems with the new change. Just alot of fun.

I haven't read much Historical Fiction lately. Need to catch up on reading some! Especially Michelle Willingham's!

I have however read Diane Gaston's latest. The Vanishing Viscountess and absolutely loved it! I really adore her books which are Regency, and Stacey Kayne's as well. Stacey Kayne writes great Western Romances. I highly recomend both.

 (Though I admit, I proudly love Modern Romances as well!) 

  You are soooo right Rae on the bloodshed!  My kids have had tons of snow days this year, its been crazy!  Between the fog, the ice and the actual snow... it seems every time I turn around they are staying home... I absolutely love having them home, but they get ants in the pants!    I am going to treat them here in a little bit though... there are some very high snow banks at the school from the plows and they are not allowed to play on them during the day(remember king of the mountain?) because of saftey issues and America's penchant for sueing so I'm going to let them stay for a while (under my surpervision) and play on them. I just might have to join them!

Cole 

I made it!!  *grabs one of Michelle's warriors and hangs on*

Who vacuumed up all the breadcrumbs?  I'm still trying to figure this whole place out.  My next thing will be to get a signature in place.  We'll see how long that takes.

Ok, let's see if this works....snicker.... Because I always do this soooooo well.

It is great to see see that people are making it. Even Denise has been lured here.

And it is great that Denise has managed to get the Hh Authors thing up.  This one has links to the authors' website, myspace and blog. Other places where you can find the HH Authors.

 Michelle S

Ah well, Denise, we will seduce you to the dark side yet!

 I am not sure if they have surfaced yet but you have several avid readers on the loop.

Wow, hi Denise!!  I LOVE reading your books!  I'm so glad you're here too!  Happy to meet you.

Noooooooooooo, noooooooooooooo, not the dark side!

Been over to shelfari lately? What ARE they doing? Everytime I get the HH books in order they change their setup, so now the current month's books are under wish list and reading now is next month's and on and on.....grrrr. I don't have enough play time to keep up with them.

Have a good one!

It's ila---this crazy font makes the capital i's look like the lower case l---

I am a huge Red Wings fan!  My nephew played hockey, and if I ever have sons, they will.  One thing I'd like to be able to do with the professional writing degree I'm working on is to be able to work for one of the hockey teams in their media/community relations department--I'm hoping for the Red Wings! 

Rae--Okay I feel silly asking this but... Love Potions Through the Ages... is that a book?  Or something else?  Feeling stupid for asking but....

Cole 

Howdy, all!  Wow, I usually pop over here and am totally lost.  I tried the search this time, and bam!  An HH topic 

 Don't know about the breeches, but I'm partial to tight denim   We just watched 3:10 to Yuma again last night....:::big sigh::::....there is a movie that can make ya love a villain, as well as the hero.  I keep wondering what color eyes Wade's mother had...were they green???  There's a man suffering from serious abandonment issues.  I loved how bits of info are revealed all the way through about the Dan and Wade, making you hurt for both of them and at times rooting for both!  I just love it when a writer can make me feel for the villain.  And 3:10 is definitey a movie to get you pumped over westerns

Rebecca, I'm so glad you've enjoyed my westerns--thanks!!

FWIW, I always start at The Labyrinth, http://labyrinth.georgetown.edu/   find a topic of interest and go from there. 

<<Any suggestions on good sources for the Crusades? >>

Wow, it is great to see it so active in here.

Denise, I'm a big fan of yours and am glad you found your way here! I will have to go back to your other "personality" and check out the links.

As for in the sig line, for now, I am keeping mine to my name and a link to some of my dh's art work. Once the website I write reviews for is done revamping itself (crossing fingers for late Feb. or early March), I will add that link again.

I love the idea of a thread for Val. Day and the title sounds great.

 Thank you Denise. Yes, I do still write for Writersunlimited.com but right now we are going through a transitional stage and reviews are not being uploaded. We have been authorized to write reviews on Amazon.com if we list we work for Writers Unlimited, so that they can still post the review on the site once it goes live. We're hoping for the end of Feb. <fingers crossed>
