TeeMich - They do not have there brain in right today that is what I think...
Celeste - I have a big red X on my calendar for the 15th
Sally00 - Stayed home from work today to read Seth's story! Loved it!
Tori Carrington - Um, and gent, Cissy.
Sara - Seth Quinn is finally home. It's been a long journey. After a harrowing boyhood with his drug-addicted mother, he'd been taken in by the Quinn family, growing up with three older brothers who'd watched over him with love. Now a grown man returning from Europe as a successful painter, Seth is settling down on Maryland's Eastern Shore, surrounded once again by Cam, Ethan, and Phil, their wives and children, all the blessed chaos of the extended Quinn clan. Finally, he's back in the little blue- and-white house where there's always a boat at the dock, a rocker on the porch, and a dog in the yard. Still, a lot has changed in St. Christopher since he's been gone-and the most intriguing change of all is the presence of Dru Whitcomb Banks. A city girl who's opened a florist shop in this seaside town, she craves independence and the challenge of establishing herself without the influence of her wealthy connections. In Seth, she sees another kind of challenge-a challenge that she can't resist. But storms are brewing that are about to put their relationship to the test. Dru's past has made her sensitive to deception-and slow to trust. And Seth's past has made him a target of blackmail-as a secret he's kept hidden for years threatens to explode, destroying his new life and his new love...
Nora - You don't have to wait till the 15th. The book's out now.

Hi Ol -
Cissy-moderator - O has the next question (happy, moose, BadBarb, moose in line)
Morgan - Good answer, Nora. LOL.

deagling - 
asabutton - ?
moose -
Hi Ol - I love "The Mcdade Men" which was your fav. My was Delvin
Hunt4Me2 - sorry i fell in love with the characters especially sabaastian
BadBarb - Nora takes the same kind of potion that dick clark uses cause she never changes
Hunt4Me2 - sabastian
Nora - I can't play favorites with my characters. One of the perks of being a writer is being able to fall madly in love with many men, and nobody gets jealous.
Cissy-moderator - nice perk!
Cissy-moderator - happy has the next question ( moose, BadBarb, moose, asabutton in line)
Nora - I'm younger than Dick Clark. <g>
happy - Nora, you write so many books... do you ever get suggestions for books? If so how do you feel about getting them? how do you have sooo many ideas? I have to tell you that to say I'm in awe of your books is an understatement.
Morgan - LOVE that answer too. I'm gonna have to use that. LOL .
Cissy-moderator - Welcome Suezq Welcome to our chat with Nora Roberts! We're chatting with Nora tonight about her newest release CHESAPEAKE BLUE. We're operating on protocol tonight, so if you have a question for Nora, please type ? and I'll call on you in turn
BadBarb - hi sue
SIMPSON - Hi Nora!!!
Suezq - hello all Ü
BadBarb - hi simpson
SIMPSON - How's Jason?
SIMPSON - wow....we're all here huh?
Nora - I do get suggestions, and I ignore them. Honestly, they don't interest me. If the idea doesn't come from me, I can't get excited about it, and I can't write a story I'm not excited about. I think writers are hard-wired for story ideas. It's just what we do. Ideas aren't the hard part, imo. Crafting the idea into a story is where the sweat and blood come into it.
Cissy-moderator - Hi Simpson Welcome!
SIMPSON - Just saw the thread
