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

Hi, V. Read your acknowledgments in S of D. Tomorrow morning, we are taking our 15 y.o. Beagle, Fox, to be put to sleep after months of declining health. So we let him eat his favorite no-no treat (canned cat food), we loved on him, cried over him & we'll say goodbye in the AM. Maybe he will give Lilly some big, wet, sloppy kisses at the start of his new journey? From one furbaby momma to another, Hugs, Rebecca

Hi I am going to presume Ghoul's Guide to Love and Murder is the last of this series? I believe you did a good job and closing this up with M.J. and Heath getting married on their vacation and also expecting a little girl. In the meantime Gilley and Michael getting married as well. You have Oruc and all the worst case ghost chasing them as they try to find the missing artifact. Are you planning on a new series?
