I've noticed in the last few Psychic eye books there were some F* bombs. I do not recall them from earlier books. Is this something we are going to see more of in your books? I realize that situations might warrant a harder word but am hoping that if you do use them, that you keep them to a minimum!

Leslie,
My favorite word in the entire English language is the "f*bomb." I've dropped lots of them in my career, and, I'm unapologetic about it. Asking me to use less of them is, I'm so sorry to say, completely inappropriate. I know you don't mean to insult me, but can you see how insulting it is to ask an author to censor herself in the future? It's bad form and truly not appreciated. I would end by telling you that if you didn't like the words that I use to please find another author to read, but more than anything I don't wish to upset you, or make you feel bad. I simply wish to educate you, and make you look at this from a different perspective - mine as the story's creator. You wouldn't limit an artist's use of vibrant colors, so please don't attempt to limit my pallet either. More than anything I wish for you to accept my writing as it is, and enjoy it for what it is,...f*bombs and all.
My best to you,
Victoria

I'm only about half way through the Abby Cooper series, but I'm really enjoying it. Thank you for writing it. I have to wonder if Abby will ever encounter an anti-psychic? Either a person or a thing that counters her abilities? It would be fun to see her have to rely on her other abilities and friends in the absence of her super-power. To see her be special even without her special ability.

I read many of your Ghost Hunters series, and I loved Coached to Death. However, I was so disappointed in Coached to Murder. It could have been one of your very BEST books, but having the main character go to bed with two different men (in the same week!) spoiled it for me. I also got tired of Gilly's constant sleazy sexual innuendos. You are such a gifted author--why did you include these things?
