About this author

Libby glimpsed her true calling when her first story, a Winnie-the-Pooh/Shakespeare crossover, won the grand prize in her elementary school's fiction contest. Her parents explained that writers were quirky, poor, and often talked to themselves in supermarket checkout lines. They implored her to be practical, a request she took to heart for twenty years, earning two degrees, a white-collar job, and an ulcer, before realizing that practical was absolutely no fun.

Today she lives with her husband and four children in a very old, impractical house and writes stories about redemption, the paranormal, and love at first sight, all of which do exist, she happens to know from experience.

Grier manages to turn the tables and take Alec hostage long enough to convince him that the Organization is lying and hiding something sinister.

I wasn't really feeling the romance part of this story. Something??? was missing. This fell in the drama/general fiction area for me. Bruce made me smile a lot. He was, without a doubt, the most likable character. There were a few molehi... "

“You just want to see me naked,” Alec peeled off his shirt, then
popped the buttons on his jeans and slid them low on his hips.
“I’ve seen you naked. Or have you forgotten?”
Alec winced when Grier probed the wound. “Oh yeah. What’d
you think, by the way?”
“The room was cold, so I won’t hold it against you.”

Libby Drew LOL Thanks, Mary! I think you may be rigiht about the cats. I voted for "team effort" myself.

I considered a sequel to Great Restorations for NaNoWriMo this year, but got bitten by another idea. However, Bruce's story is high up on the list. I'd love to get back to those characters. There are a few of them who deserve their own happy ending. :)

Take care!


message 1: by Mary

Mary Libby - thanks for the invite!

I found and had a blast catching up on the entries in your blog yesterday. I'm with the group re: the gnawed power cord; they both looked guilty as hell!

So, sequel to Great Restorations/Bruce's story, yes? :)
