130991 Hi, Kristen--

Thanks for the PM! I think you'll really like Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter and Dream-Hunter series when you read them. They are some of the best PNR series out there IMO. :)

BTW, when you get a chance, check out my books blog (the Laura Stamps link in my sig below). You'll find the first few chapters of all my published novels there. Lots of fun, free reading! And for reading that is a little naughty, check out my Author blog at LJ (also in my sig below). I post daily. That blog is a hoot! *wicked grin*

Happy reading and magickal blessings!

xoxo

1161970 "Every person has the power to make others happy.
Some do it simply by entering a room --
others by leaving the room.
Some individuals leave trails of gloom;
others, trails of joy.
Some leave trails of hate and bitterness;
others, trails of love and harmony.
Some leave trails of cynicism and pessimism;
others trails of faith and optimism.
Some leave trails of criticism and resignation;
others trails of gratitude and hope.
What kind of trails do you leave?”

William Arthur Ward

358359 Thank you for your invitation. How exciting that you are working on your first thriller--I hope you thoroughly enjoy the process.

It's great to hear from an Ohioan. On June 3rd, I'm scheduled for a telephone interview with Dr. Andrea Fanti on Dial & Speak WBTC (10 AM Eastern time, I think) in Uhrichsville, OH. Anyway, it's my understanding that the show takes calls, so if you have a chance to call, I'd enjoy hearing from you.

Happy reading and writing!
