BadBarbh - LOL Morgan, I didnt even tell her it was Nora chatting until she got to writerspace
TeeMich - Hunt lives in G. P
Hunt4Me2 - what is that a pickle or a feather?
BadBarbh - Mo, I work with Theresa, and Ive been adding authors to her addiction
Tori Carrington - Ohhhhh, no! It's another of those "favorite" questions.
Morgan - <g> See? This is why we call you Bad.
Tori Carrington - Would you ask us which of our sons we like best? Uh huh. Didn't think so.
Sally00 - Stupid ? but why would you be afraid of a cuke?
BadBarbh - Jake is one of my favorites
Morgan - Good answer, LT! LOL.

Cissy - Moosehog has the next question (O, CrazyMo in line)
Tori Carrington - :::tapping fingers against the desktop:::
BadBarbh - ahh, so has Tony always been interested in horses?
Hunt4Me2 - not gonna
Mac - A feather? How does it lok like a feather?
Mac - Just curious.
imp - @ BB
Tori Carrington - He says 'cause he's one of the more Alpha males we've done. The strong, silent type that goes after what he wants even knowing the conseqences.
Tori Carrington - LOL, Barb!!!! Ohhhh, you're so bad!
BadBarbh - no its the horse
Mac - oops..that was look..not lok...
Tori Carrington - Mine? Oh, really, pls, don't make me answer this question.
Hunt4Me2 - well its a slanty blop on my screen
moosehog - Do you ever plan on trying for a single title or are you busy enough ?
Tori Carrington - All our heroes are special to me in their own way.
Tori Carrington - But, if you do want an answer, I'd have to say the hero in our December Blaze ranks near the top of the list. Tommy "Wild Man" Brodie...well, he's a hottie.
Tori Carrington - And we just found out that Romantic Times feels the same way 'cause they awarded him a W.I.S.H.!!!!!!!!!!
Tori Carrington -
Ol - How is he?
moosehog - by the way Tony and Lori
Tori Carrington - It's our first W.I.S.H. hero so we're pretty psyched.
BadBarbh - yeah
