LaDonna, GF, I wouldn’t feel complete without shouting out my friend on this hazardous road to publication.

Same here about the second story. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that my second book is as good, if not better than the first. The only thing is I had to write this book from scratch because I didn’t think I had a second werecheetah book in me. The funny thing is I already have an idea for book three.

Marica, if you find out what makes me tick, will ya let me know? Couldn’t resist. Thanks for the shout-out too!

Hmmm, the fear thing. I’d have to say, the horror stories I heard and read about the dreaded second book. A good thing came out of it, though. I heard those stories years ago, and took care of the problem by writing a several novels out of the gate. I wasn’t about to get stuck in a corner, terrified by that second novel. “No one puts Baby in the corner,” comes to mind.

Thanks, Caryn. That’s exactly why I want to give YA a try and see what happens. However, keeping the sex non-existent might be a little hard.

Congratulations on finishing The Hive! As for the YA, that sounds like fun, and YA novels are big right now.

Oh Crap! I need to put LaDonna’s book on my list too! I just need to go down the blog roll with a pen and paper.

I LOVE reading stuff from my friends. Like when LaDonna’s book came out, I could picture her sitting there with her fingers working like a mad woman on the computer. It’s almost surreal once you’ve met them, befriended them, and now you’re seeing what makes them tick.

Uh oh. Okay, like I wasn’t seeing anyone when I wrote Unstable Environment, so like, I was a little “anxious” and all. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

I’m trying to get it together and read the stuff from all my blogging friends. It’s cool to read stuff by people you know.

Thanks, Abigail!! Girlfriend, you’re gonna be on a roll yourself in a few months with your fabulous debut.

Fingers crossed Jackie falls in love with THE HIVE because I had sooooo much fun writing it. I know she’s probably shaking her head at the length and thinking, “What am I gonna do with this chile?”

Zoe, girl, you’re a trip. I’d smack you with a huge kiss, but be thankful I can’t remember how to do it in cyberland right now.

Thank you bunches, hon!

Great news Marcia! I’m sure THE HIVE will be great! Parker is going to love it! Congrats on your new sale to Samhain and I can’t wait to hear more about your YA.

You are on a roll Chica!
