I've seen 'O' and loved it so much I took my sister and niece to see it!  Have a great time.

I am so impressed.  Do you know if Steeple Hill will do some historicals like this?

And Danielita -- Keep us posted here.  You will find lots of help from the people around here.

Danielita -- that's wonderful that you have three chapters of a manuscript,  That's no small thing.  As to your question, readers of historical romance will expect the facts to be accurate (any objects used, etc. as well as historical figures).  I don't think you would need to know the language and the streets have probably changed since your ms. was set., but you would need to do enough research to know that.  Of course, your story is fiction so much of what you create is, of course not researched.  Attitudes of the people in your book should reflect attitudes of the era.  Clothing the same.  Actually, at some point, you will need to do a fair amount of research for your book.  At the present though you might keep writing for a while as it is your first manuscript and it might be best to write a rough draft and then start your research ( wouldn't want the research to stop you prematurely).

Janet

Vince and FF -- I haven't read any of Mercedes books either, but I'm going to order one.  From both of your descriptions, I think I'd enjoy it very much.

Vince, I hope you don't cut back on your posting.  I enjoy your questions and comments.

Margie -- I like the JD Robb books by Nora as well.

I just happened to drop in here and I've got to say enough mud has been slung around to cover everyone.  Rude seems to be going both ways.  I hope you'll all stop and think -- we're here about romance -- love, laughter, and song.

Sandi -- you made some pretty serious accusations. Can't quite believe you would say that about someone you don't even know -- and in a public place like this.

I can see why you're excited, but I'm not surprised Debbie is willing to do an interview with you.  I don't know her personally, but I have met her and she is a very aproachable nice person.  Good luck with your interview.

Airelene --

How cool to see Sophia Loren -  I've always thought she's a classy lady.  Sounds like a memorable evening.

Janet

Vince --

Amy has a good point about it being easier to read your blogs if you're a friend.  I'm going to ask to be your friend, too, so check again.

Janet

Vince, you had asked about the black moment in Dry Creek Sweethearts.  The black moment belongs to the hero -- when he realizes the old men of Dry Creek will never accept him so he can not make that his home and he is uncertain if Linda will live anywhere else.
