TrishJensen - Wow, did that message just go out again? I'm confused here.
Lea - is there a Difference Kit kat
Murialisa - actually right now it's a tossup between whether i really want to be done, or whether i really just want to never see my roommate again

Murialisa - i hope so Ronda! i was looking at cruises and i want to hit one that stops in Turkey and Egypt too
cris - what message Trish, I was kicked out on my tush
Ginger - LOL Chris , Sara is pretty mena to you1
RondaT - Sue, Chris K has dropped in on these chats before. We have to be careful.
Ginger - OOOPS MEAN TO YOU THAT SHOULD HAVE READ
KarenWhite - Sue--once Editor Chris showed up in a chat and we didn't know it. At least not until Sue Grant and I had finished bitching about our deadlines and saying how we didn't know how we'd make it. <g>
Ginger - OMG Was I yelling? Sorry
TrishJensen - Cris, I need to see your credentials before I answer that question. Do you suck blood from characters, or your authors?
Sue Charnley - Well, I'm glad that we have the good Chris on board.
Susan E - logged on - 4/23 at 9:37pm EST
RondaT - And talking about his skinny hips, too, remember?
Sara - hey!! just a simple question!!
cris - characters for sure Trish!! ROFLLL
KarenWhite - Oh, Lord, Ronda--I'd tried to forget about THAT.... Yeesh.
Sue Charnley - Hello Susan E
RondaT - Hi Susan, good to see you here
Lea - Hi Susan
TrishJensen - Karen, was that the night I called the boy too skinny to be a romance model?
EmmaCraig - - 4/23 at 9:38pm EST
kitkat - well, Chris the editor (just for the record) is THe NICEST EDITOR IN THE WORLD!!
RondaT - What's the question, Sara?
KarenWhite - I believe that was the one, Trish. We should all be proud...
cris - no one has ever actually referred to me as the good chris
Murialisa - gee, sounds like you guys really dug yourselves into a hole 
kitkat - LOLOLOL
cris - I love tea Sara you know that
Susan E - hi lea and Ronda and Sue and all!
RondaT - And I think I said they should have crotch shots instead of chest shots on covers
Susan E - Gee, don't even have to leave to take dau to night class--she has her license now
TrishJensen - Okay, which of you here are Chris the author bloodsucker for Karen to have to stoop?
KarenWhite - Muri--yep, and we just kept digging...
Sue Charnley - I can't complain about Chris K. He did request my full MS, even if he handed it to Kate Seaver. She might not have bought it, if he hadn't.
Lea - well the blood thirsty chris 
Nanette - crotch shots
Ginger - BRB Gotta Check on kitty
PattiL - I like that idea Ronda
TrishJensen - Susan E! Hi!
cris - ok, am I missing something, Trish, waving at you, I'm ChristineFehan over here always getting booted so I have tons of names
KarenWhite - Ronda, please--I'm going to have nightmares just remembering that chat!
RondaT - I like Chris K, too. He's my editor.
Sue Charnley - I truly do understand what you mean about "crotch shots" but they sound painful anyway. <G>
TrishJensen - I don't have a clue if I've been handed to Kate or not. She's edited my last two, but Alicia still calls me.
Susan E - hi Trish. loved your cover
kitkat - but Chris isn't blood thirsty, the Carpathians only take what they need (three times) to convert, then they aren't thirsty anymore!! *LOL*
cris - kiss up Ronda since he might be here under an a woman's name
Lea - As long they have something worth seeing At least I know that it well still give Desalvo work that man is well blessed there 
TrishJensen - Thanks, SusanE! It took me a long time, and now I'm fixating on the phallic thing.
KarenWhite - Right, "Cris". Who are you REALLY?
Nanette - now that's sneaky
RondaT - You got it, Cris. She knows me so well.
Sue Charnley - I love Kate. The edits she suggested were right on target and really easy to do.
Susan E - lol's trish
cris - ROFLLL
Ginger - OK Back
Susan E - could Chris really resort to spying on us....
KarenWhite - Yes, Trish--your cover is wonderful! And, without faces, you don't have to worry about the woman on the cover resembling the author. <cough>
RondaT - Kate is a sweetheart.
cris - that man is capable of anything, he just LOOKS angelic
cris - worse, he could send Tim in here
KarenWhite - Alicia is my editor and she's wonderful. She's got me worried, though, because she wanted NO REVISIONS. Do you think she's started drinking?
RondaT - I think he was invited that night, none of us realized he was there because he didn't say anything for a long time
kitkat - of course, Carpathians look angellic and they are definitely capable of anything!! Yummy!
cris - and he could really figure out a great name Lea, is that really you????
Susan E - lol's cris
Ginger - So do you guys ever think "this editor is sooo wrong about what they wannt em to change"?
TrishJensen - Karen, at least your models were beautiful. I have a cover where they obviously weren't sure whether these people were human, much less looking a ThING like my characters.
Cissy - LOL, Karen - maybe she's just finally seen the light
RondaT - I know it's Lea cause she's slobbering over John D
cris - wow Karen, very cool
Lea - Hey I thought they looked pretty hot KitKat what country are the from Chris
Lea - Yup that is Me
kitkat - have you all seen Madeline Baker's newest cover for Chase the Lightening! It looks fabulous, horse on front, step=back clinch in the inside, awesome cover!!
cris - sure, Ginger, it happens
Sue Charnley - Ginger, I haven't had that problem, yet, but I've heard horror stories from authors at other houses.
Lea - I do not Slobber Ronda !
TrishJensen - Karen: Three books for Leisure. One NO revisions, one ONE SENTENCE revision, one two paragraph revision.
RondaT - Ginger, sometimes, but not often has been my case.
KarenWhite - Ginger--on IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON, Alicia's suggestions were right on the money--even the chopping of 50 pages. Her changes really made it a much better book.
vaddra - 
- 4/23 at 9:46pm EST
cris - hmmm Lea, I think she's right this one time
Lea - Hi Vaddra
KarenWhite - Trish--I wanna SEE the alien cover!
Sherryl - Hate to run ladies...but I will see you all another time...night
dawnie - hi vad
RondaT - Yes, Kitkat, love Mandy's new cover
Sue Charnley - Hi Vaddra
vaddra - hi all
Susan E - I have very few revisions as well, a sentence here or there, or add to something there. Never much
cris - Hi Vaddra!
bry'sapoodle - Hi vad Made the Pave yet?
KarenWhite - Wow, Trish--maybe Chris K. and Alicia drink together in the afternoons. <g>
Sue Charnley - Bye Sherryl
vaddra - gnight sherryl
RondaT - nite Sherryl
Susan E - bye sherryl
TrishJensen - If there's anything I love about Alicia (and now Kate) is that they DO NOT interfere. I don't know about Chris, but I'm guessing he's not to intrusive, either. Let your authors write.
Ginger - WEll that must be reassuring when their changes prove to be good then
Nanette - hi vaddra... by sherryl
bry'sapoodle - That's Pav
RondaT - Hi Viki
Lea - I never go gagga 
Susan E - Hi vaddra
vaddra - not yet.<sigh>
Lea - night Sherry
KarenWhite - Mandy's cover is GORGEOUS!! And, it even looks like what the book's about! Some people get all the luck...
Lea - just because I plan to Molestle him if he is a RT this year !
Ginger - so do you keep a copy of your fist draft in case you ever get to rerelease and want to print it like the original
KarenWhite - Oh, Trish--I thought Chris was your editor. Mea culpa.
Susan E - some nice banners tonight!
RondaT - Now, the truth comes out Lea.
TrishJensen - Karen, this is just a wild guess, here, but are you somewhat obsessing about your latest cover? I know you wanted it to be perfect, and it's not. But it's STILL beautiful and eye-catching.
Sue Charnley - Heavens, I'd never want anyone to see my "first" draft.
Lea - Why else would I got to RT but to Moleste the cover models
KarenWhite - Lea, are you a John D. fan? He's on my newest cover--and I met him last year at RT. Don't ask me what possessed me, but I told him that an author friend was calling me "Joanna DeSalivate" because I looked like the woman on my first cover. He looked at me like I had two heads...
Ginger - Karen what is wrong with your latest cover?
RondaT - Yes, Karen, it is. You could have got fish boy, so be glad, and now having said that I will get fish boy
Ginger - Fish Boy???
KarenWhite - Thanks, Trish. I know it will eventually grow on me, but it's so much fun to bitch....
Nanette - fish boy??????????
bry'sapoodle - fishboy?? SEAL is a cover model?
Lea - I think he is nice looking on the covers but the jury is still out on him
RondaT - Me neither, Sue.
Sue Charnley - "Joanna DeSalivate" ROTFLMAO. And he didn't get it? Well I guess you can't always have brains and beauty both.
Ginger - Sue is your first draft really that bad? Don't you use a critique group?
KarenWhite - Ginger--it's not so much a bad cover, it's just that the setting and people don't look ANYTHING like what I wrote in the book!
TrishJensen - brb
RondaT - LOL, Bry. Good one. Sue Grant got fish boy on her star king cover originally, they chopped off his head.
dawnie - LOL Sue
Lea - actually I am hoping to use John D for Sex! 
cris - I call one of minelobster boy because they rinsed him red to givethe model red hair
Ginger - Oh Karen I hate thaton a cover!
Susan E - but it's a beautiful cover anyway karen. Out of 6 books, only two hav ethe right hair on mine
Murialisa - sounds good to me lea
Lea - LOL Chris!!!!!
Murialisa - of course maybe i'll find a greek god of my very own in athens....
bry'sapoodle - Does he look like a fish?
RondaT - Gosh, so far all of mine have the right hair. What does that mean?
Ginger - LOL Poor Susan
kitkat - the cover of the Dark Books I think was nearly perfect had to be Dark Challenge, that was fabulous
Lea - I dunno
Ginger - You have good luckk Ronda
Sue Charnley - You just might. I met a guy at the ship's spa who was great cover model material.
RondaT - The guy on Sue's cover before he got his head chopped off had fish lips
cris - I absolutely love the cover for DarkFire
KarenWhite - Thanks, SusanE--you Lollies have really made me feel a LOT better. It's just that the woman looks like she was yanked off a medieval fortress and thrown onto the cover of my book set in 1965 Lousiana...
Susan E - part of the biz, Ginger. I'm resigned...
Ginger - Aare you taking Cover flats to CR Chris?
bry'sapoodle - I'd love to admire the cover of Dark Fire first hand Chris
RondaT - I loved Scarletti Curse too, Chris.
KarenWhite - Ronda--it means you must be sleeping with your editor.
cris - I was looking at Ennis' site and saw a great sketch man woman and wolf all dark,perfect for my books I was so envious
kitkat - As Do I CHristine, but of current releases in the dark series, challenge has to be the best so far, scarletti is best overall though so far
cris - I can Ginger, I have a few left and of course my new ones
Lea - I have seen some models on Romance Novels who should have been on Creature Feature Magazines
RondaT - Karen, is your setting 1965? I thought it was 1865 from what you'd said
KarenWhite - Um--make that 1865 Louisiana...
Sue Charnley - I'm so jealous of all who are going to CR. I've wanted to go for three years now. Next year I won't miss it.
cris - Thank you Ronda, that was a special book for me
Susan E - karen, look at the cover for White Wind, heroine looks like she's from a cinderella scene in a see through fairy tale night gown..., not a trappers dau's dress.= for sure
Lea - Not this year going toRT instead
Ginger - I would love to have one Cris
KarenWhite - Is anybody here going to CR? I'll be there (since I live here in Atlanta)

cris - tell all Cissy
Ginger - Patti mentioned it to me Cissy
