Michael Burhans added a status update: Had an amazing thing happen. My WIP is going slowly, and I sat on the couch to think. Fell asleep and in the course of a few hours nape an entire new book came to me. Start to finish, and twists in between. Perfect clarity, even saw what I want for the cover. Now, what to so about it? Set aside the half done WIP and work on this, or outline this and finish the current one. Hmmm. any suggestions?

I read and loved Lola and the Boy Next Door, and somehow never twigged to the fact that it was a follow up to this book. When I was told, I immediately went out and got it. I am sure glad I did. This book as at least as good as Lola. Anna is a chara...more

Nyrae Dawn did what she always does. She wrote a great, unputdownable book. As with several other of her books, I have a major league book crush on the female protagonist. This is undoubtedly going to be on my Top-Ten Books of the Year list. Over t...more
