Thanks for answering my question. One reason I love your books is that I care about the characters so passionately and the heroines really earn their happy ending. I felt similarly protective about Sugar Beth in "Ain't She Sweet" (sorry Winnie, you're dead to me).
Keep writing and I can't wait until Lucy's story. I fell in love with Lucy in "First Lady." (Okay, enough groveling, sheesh. :) )
Hi Susan,Just wanted to say I have read all of your books and enjoyed each and every one. As long as you are willing to write,I will be an enthusiastic reader.
Thank you for all of your hard work!

Susan, love the comments from your sister! You guys are too funny! (Reminds me a little of me and my sister, I must confess. ;->) Hope you enjoy LITTLE BLACK DRESS...and I really hope I get to meet you in person someday. Anyone who wears sock monkey and flamingo nightgowns is more than all right by me. :-)
Hi Susan!My first book of you was It Had to Be You and I absolutely loved it!!!! It's actually my favorite book in the Chicago Stars Series. I love the series but nothing can top the first book for me, and the couple: Phoebe and Dan. I just love them!
It had to be You is one of my favorite books ever!
Do you think you'll ever write about them again? Or what about a book where Dan, Phoebe, Bobby, Cal, Jane, Kevin, Molly, Blue, Dean, Anabelle and Heath go on a trip? It would be awesome!
Thank you for writing such incredible books. I'm so glad to see there are still contemporary romance authors!
Kudos from Mexico!

I was thinking Dan and Phoebe were my favorites, too, but then I remember all the others and I just can't pick one pair. :-) They all had their great moments and their I-want-to-smack-them moments.
Hi Susan !Your books are amazing,the firs one that I read was "Nobody`baby but mine"....and it is number one for me...just continue to write more...Chicago Stars books were GREAT.....Big regards from Croatia and hope to see you here,now good night to everyone it is time to go to sleep ....
HI SusanLove the banter between you and your sister, too funny.
Almost as amazing as your books.
Who do you like to read for pleasure?
Susan, I attempted to get CALL ME IRRESISTIBLE from my library when I found out that you were doing this Q&A session. Alas, they couldn't find the copy they supposedly had in. The poor librarian searched high and low, for the copy but it could not be found and I didn't have time to get it from the store. I've read a couple of your books and have more sitting on my shelf waiting patiently for me to read them, so I'm a relative newbie to your books. The ones I've read thus far have super funny situations that have me laughing. Do all your romances have a humorous edge to them? What do you think are the most important traits for creating a good hero and heroine? Since you began writing romances has the romance scene changed much? BTW I just checked and the book came in just a couple of hours ago. It figures. They got me a copy from another branch.

I'd better love everyone of my heroes! Otherwise, the heroine could never fall in love with him. True answer! I play no favorites. (Their feelings would be hurt.)
Hi Susan! I can't wait for the paperback version of Call Me Irresistible! I love all of your books, but the Chicago Stars series hold a special place in my heart.

Can you imagine the audio book reader's horror if I put all those characters in one scene?! Kate used to threaten me about that...

My sister is the funny one! As for reading for pleasure, I know I posted that somewhere here today. Maybe under beach reads??? I'm getting confused. (Like that's something new.)

In terms of heros and heroines-- I don't want them perfect. I want the book to be their personal journey to figuring out who they are/what they want/etc. As for romance--it continues to be the most inventive popular fiction genre there is! Just look at the great variety of books.
I'm going to shut down my computer now and curl up with Project Runway. Thanks to everyone who showed up here. Loved having this chance to chat with you. Hate the idea of losing any of you. I'm on Facebook and Twitter @SEPauthor. (I kinda suck at Twitter but I'm pretty good on FB.) I also have an active website message board at http://www.susanelizabethphillips.com Hope to see you there!
Ooops.. Forgot to mention that I run a regular contest each month on my website AND if I have over 2000 registered, I double each month's prizes, including a $50.00 gift certificate to an online bookstore.

SEP's heroes are just alpha enough for me, and they have brains and heart and different personalities! Something I don't think the PNR heroes have, they all start to sound/read the same!
