Awwww! Can you imagine how this girl must've felt not having a date and the Blaize made it so special for her?!?! Awwww! Huge kudos, Blaize...and his rightfully proud momma deserves a big ol'pat on the back too!!

What a good stoner you are! I can't wait til Mr. Chelle is home for good so we can start building on our land. 51 acres of landscaping possibilities...even a little creek for a private little garden getaway. Maybe I can bribe you away from Hollyworld for a brief vacation...;)

I usually check out any industry news such as the Cassie Edwards thing and now this. But I don't feel your post was offensive in any way! I believe that everyone is entitled to their opinion...but can't they have some class. My problem is with the way that crew has gone about ruining a review system meant to help us as writers and sell our books. It's very unfortunate when someone takes it to the extreme and trashes someone in a review. It hurts. Of course the author will take offense. She probably worked her a$$ off to write the dang thing and someone can't be professional and give an unbiased opinion. I believe in giving honest reviews...without being hateful and trashing someones hard work. Maybe it's me and the way I was raised. My momma would smack the back of my head and tell me not to open my mouth if I can't say anything nice. Thats not to say I wouldn't give someone a bad review. If I don't like a book...or don't care for their style...I won't go out of my way to trash it and say ridiculous things. I just heard from a friend that Tess Gerritson is going to stop blogging because of something that blew up on her blog.

I love most of my author friends because they go out of their way to help me as I work to get published...but some people need to take a lesson in class and temper management. It's sad that people have to be so cruel. You didn't offend me at all. I appreciate you stopping by to talk. ;)

That sucks! Amazon definitely needs to do something because these authors are going above and beyond mafia mentality. I can't believe she had the nerve to post that she'd contacted a PI to get a readers personal info. Is she for real??

She's not right in the head. How in the world does she expect to sell books if she's such a bitch to her readers? I'd never heard of her before now but I'll definitely spread the word. You'd think she'd be doing everything she could to make new fans. (besides cheating on how she gets reviews) Getting reviews wouldn't matter as much to me as building a solid fan base.

I definitely needed sparkle in my life!!! ;) But I went back and had her highlight it with blond and red. I'll take more pictures when I have time to brush it! LOL! Since my dh left I finally have time to get caught up on critiques and my writing. Of course I'm WAY behind and it'll take forever.

I just finished reading the 192 comments on the story at SBTB and noticed the comment about the new issue at Dear Author. I'll head over there and see whats up.

Thanks for the compliment!! I had my hair colored before I picked dh up at the airport...but he wanted my blond color back. *sigh* Oh well. I tried something new. I teased him about marrying me because I was a blond. LOL!

Thanks so much for the update, girl!!! It's unfortunate for Cassie Edwards but will be a defining moment for writers who tend to copy and paste research.

My last living grandparent died when I was thirteen. I watched my parents marriage disintegrate before my eyes as a young teen. I overheard and was a witness to things a child should never have to deal with. No wonder my writing is my escape, I can weave the happily-ever-after I'd never known truly existed.

My first marriage wasn't built on love or trust and only lasted two years, but the parting was amicable I guess as far as divorce goes.

 After being single for six years, I met a special man through friends and swore marriage wouldn't be in the picture because he was nine years younger than me. I didn't count on him being so persistent. He pushed...I pushed away. We were married six months later, seven years ago. I understand now what unconditional love means. It's usually in my nature to close myself off and deal with problems myself...he knows the signs now and refuses to let it be an issue. We've both had crappy examples but we live every day in our faith and each other, our marriage and family will always be our top priority. He is my hero and has shown me the extent he will go for our future and family.

I get misty when I hear such beautiful stories of lifetime love and devotion. I only hope that my children will never be faced with what I went through growing up. I make it a daily mission to show them how much we love and care for them. But it's also important we teach them kindness, consideration and compassion that will bleed into every aspect of their life. It's a wonderful foundation to lay for their future relationships.

Thank you for sharing!!

That's always a plus for me! LOL! And there's nothing sweeter than a manly man holding a tiny baby.

I saw a kick-ass cover last week and read the blurb...put the thing back down on the shelf. Haha! Yesterday, I noticed an interesting title but the blurb is what made me buy.
