Hi Kat! I didn&#039;t realize you were in the Dallas area. I&#039;m over that way every so often, seeing friends and family. It sounds like you and Sylvia had tons of fun together.]]></description>

I&#039;m always behind on movies - I haven&#039;t heard of that one yet, but now I know I&#039;ll pick others before watching that. I don&#039;t mind if a movie doesn&#039;t give me an HEA, as long as I KNOW. There&#039;s nothing worse than thinking it will lift you up, when it drags you don&#039;t instead.]]></description>

Oh Jenny, I love historical romance. It was where I started and then the market went to Regency, which is great, but I can&#039;t write it. Still love historical romance.]]></description>

Loved Kathleen Woodiwiss. I have never read a Jude Deveraux and I should. I&#039;ve heard she&#039;s great. And Nora...I can still see her at an RWA conference, in the bar, talking to everyone. Her books are great and she was so friendly.]]></description>

Hi Jenny, You got it. It&#039;s very hard to write these books and I found that out when I tried to write my first one. It took me three years and three complete rewrites. And it&#039;s still an ugly dog.]]></description>

Hi Kathleen, OMG,how I miss you and all the other Dallas Area Romance Authors so much. Kathleen was President of DARA and I was VP. I took over after her year and it was such a pleasure and honor to work with you. Give all the girls in Dallas a hug for me. I keep hoping to come back for a visit, but airfare is outrageous and the drive is way too long for me to make by myself. I like to fall asleep at the wheel...not good. Hope you and everyone there is doing well.]]></description>
