KAREN-ROMANCE READER - I HAVEN'T FINISHED HIM YET BUT LUCA'S THE BOMB
restless_pen - Err. I've strayed far from the romance field with my latest bookstore buy, with Mother Ocean, Daughter Sea -- pure fantasy by DIana Marcellas. She's new, but she's good.
BeckyBarker - Oops, please excuse my typo on that last post!
RockinRobin - Excellent book...If you haven't read Lucavarious please do so...
Lanette/Lani - And "Statuesque" in THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT 2, writing as Lani Aames.

Lanette/Lani - Thanks, RockinRobin!
Mary f - Hello Cj
MargVamp - (thanks, Robin <G> )
RockinRobin - Big congrats Flash...smooches...
flash3 - SNicker! Wrong questionm for this crown, CJ! LOL
Cissy - Welcome, 4cj, to the Ellora's Cave chat!
flash3 - Thanks Robyn! Me so stoked! LOL
O -
flash3 - Hey O
MargVamp - I've just turned in a Rapunzel story, "Virgin Blood."
Lanette/Lani - Hi, CJ!
Cissy - We're on free for all tonight. Our authors are telling us about their latest projects - and ask whatever you like
flash3 - WOo HOO! He makes me so sniffle, happy! LOL
BeckyBarker - Hi CJ - we're just sharing some info about current books and reads.
4cj - Oh my, I am at work and he is flashing!!!!!
RockinRobin - I have a question for all you EC authors...which do you find easier to write...Quickies or bigger tales?
flash3 - Snicker!
KAREN-ROMANCE READER - HEY CHRIS I'VE GOT 3RD PARTY HEARD IT WAS A REAL HOOT
4cj - Sorry if this has already been asked, but Robin, when is your 2nd book coming out???
MargVamp - Working on a Quickie about a flame creature that feeds on sex.
ChrisTanglen - Thanks, Karen!
flash3 - Bigget tales, Hon! I find it hard to cram all I want to say in a short form. I am ling winded! LOL
MariByrne - Longer tales.
Lanette/Lani - Quickies or novellas are easier for me. I tend to write short anyway.
Mary Winter - I think Quickies are easier to write, but I started out doing short stories, too.
flash3 - Oh Damn Marg! TO tell!
MariByrne - Me too Flash!
MargVamp - Novellas are easiest for me; that seems to be my natural length.
RockinRobin - Marg...that sounds intriguing....and hot!!!
BeckyBarker - Rockin, the short ones can be a real challenge. Mostly you have to cram a lot of story in little space and readers usually demand more!
flash3 - LOL MAri! If we ever do an anth together, can you imagune the size? LOL
MargVamp - But EC is about the only steady novella market I know of , and now they are raising their minimum..
RockinRobin - LOL, you're right we demand much from our authors at EC.
Lanette/Lani - I just finished a Quickie titled, LUSTY CHARMS: INVICTUS.
MargVamp - ...length for stand-alones. Sigh.
MariByrne - We'd easily make it a plus novel! LOL!
flash3 - excuse my typing! Sigh! Mavis Beacon lied to me!
flash3 - ROD!
restless_pen - after two recent attempts at novels that fell flat because I have a hard time managing all the subplots, I'm trying the novella format.. I'm glad there are so many other novella writers.
flash3 - Oh Lani! Tell me about it!
Mary Winter - I am working on a futuristic quickie called "Fighting Chance"
MariByrne - Hey Rod!
R Casteel - HI
Lanette/Lani - Hi, Rod!
MargVamp - Quickies are easier in the sense of being able to write faster, but harder in the sense of having to squeeze a plot in around the sex, I'm finding.
Rosedust202 - Hi All..Happy Turkey eve!!!!
Mary f - Hello Rod and Rose
flash3 - Rose!
RockinRobin - Hi Rod
Mac - ROD es
flash3 - WB Karen!
KAREN-ROMANCE READER - SORRY I GOT BOUNCED

Rosedust202 - @ Becky...True...so true
RockinRobin - HIya Jaid...

Flash4 - Lani is a freak! Lani is a freak! LOL
MargVamp - At Darkover this weekend I have been assigned to do a session on writing erotic SF. Any advice?
MaryJanice - I missed spanking? That'll learn me to come late.
Mary f - It's okay J!
Jaid - we've turned her to the dark side of the force
Lanette/Lani - Hey! I resemble that remark!

Flash4 - WB Chris
Lanette/Lani - Hi Cat.
Mary Winter - Make the erotic as good as the sf, Marg.
MaryJanice - I MISSED A QUICKIE?!? Quick, title, please.
MariByrne - Great! How's the U&Us coming? Done yet?
MargVamp - Annapolis. The con is north of Baltimore. No way would I go anywhere we'd have to fly over a holiday!
Flash4 - Baltimore! Clear as a bell and cold as hell! LOL
Kit_Tunstall - hehe
MaryJanice - Almost done with U&U; 23 pages to go!
Mary Winter - Iowa and not enough snow for me.
Flash4 - LOL You are close Marg!
Lanette/Lani - It's not out yet. Title is LUSTY CHARMS: INVICTUS
BeckyBarker - I'm in Ohio, too
MargVamp - Well, it's been too cold for November this week, It's not always this way at T'giving.
MariByrne - LOL! Sure enough Kit!
Flash4 - Go MJ! Go MJ!
MaryJanice - When's it out, Lani?
Flash4 - I know! Coats at Halloween! That was odd!
MaryJanice - Flash, how'd you know I have to pee?
Lanette/Lani - Don't know yet. Still in editing.
MargVamp - I miss summer already.
Mary f - YAY MJ!
Flash4 - ESP! LOL Instinct! LOL
RockinRobin - Lucky guess
Flash4 - Me too, Marg!
KAREN-ROMANCE READER - HEY FLASH HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT WIND TODAY?
MaryJanice - Mary f, stop jumping before you hurt yourself.
MargVamp - One thing about writing erotic SF&F, it CAN be difficult to balance the 2 elements -- good thought for panel discussion.
Flash4 - Editing is painful! :
Jaid - my net connection is precarious tonight. if I'm suddenly gone, Flash it's not you...really
BeckyBarker - I'm with you Marg. I tolerate cold for Christmas, but then I'm ready for summer again.
Mary f - Then hurry up and finish so I can stop!
restless_pen - Mary, you can have all of my Massachusetts snow.
Flash4 - Whimper! Robin, I was in tractionn at therapy, and am new at driving a truck! Sniffle! I hate cold! WAAAA!
MaryJanice - I dunno, Flash...Martha Punches is my EC editor and she's terrific. I end up agreeing with 99.5% of all her suggestions and they always make my work stronger.
restless_pen - Er.. I'm a bit behind. Exhaustion brought on by shoveling. I'll try to keep up.
ChrisTanglen - I'm in Florida. We're all whining and shivering over 60 degree weather.
Lanette/Lani - Yeah, Flash, it can be when the editor says the ending isn't HEA enough!
Delyn - You can't have my Michigan snow until after Christmas.
MaryJanice - Pretty soon, Mary f.
Flash4 - True, Marg, and how do you determine if a book is really paranormal, and not fiction wiht paranormal elements
MariByrne - I'd like some snow this year. Send any you'd like to Cali, C/O Mari
MaryJanice - Ooooh, restless pen! I lived in Boston for six years and LOVED it. I'm jealous!
4cj - Move to California, We have nice weather, only in the low 70 today
O - We had Snow here in Rhode Island and it is cold
mema - Where in Florida Chris. I am near Tampa.
MaryJanice - Or when the editor says moresexmoresexmoresex!
Kit_Tunstall - Martha was my first editor. Then they assigned me Ann. She's easy to work with too. If all editors were so good, writing would be a lot easier.
Jaid - when does Slayer come out btw?
ChrisTanglen - Mema, I'm IN Tampa.
MargVamp - I adore southern California. San Diego is the nation's best weather.
MaryJanice - Martha's tough. She can take it.
JoannaWyldeII - Sorry ladies, I got the boot! Can I sstill telll about my book???
restless_pen - You can have it back, MaryJ. I was born and raised in the south. The only thing that dragged me into blizzard-land was a boy.
Flash4 - Yeah, Lani! LOL I had to happy up the ending of The Slayer! LOL And of course, moresexmoresexmoresex! LOL
O - What are the authors working on next
mema - Well then, I am in Palm Harbor, just north of Clearwater.
Mary f - yes JO we have to know!
MaryJanice - I agree, Kit. There's nothing like picking up a paperback (LHK comes to mind) and wondering if the editor was on a coffee break or something.
RockinRobin - Tell, tell Joanna....we want to hear.
MargVamp - But our families are on this coast, and we are rather fond of living in a house bigger than 3 rooms. LOL
Sara - please, Joanna, tell us about your book
Mary Winter - you guys are silly, I so want to move about three inches from the Canadian border and watch it snow.
MaryJanice - That's how I ended up there, too, restless.
Flash4 - Janurary, I think Jaid! LOL I added a happy nding and hospital sex! LOL
Lanette/Lani - I *always* have a HEA, but in this case Invictus and Serena's story will be carried over into a novel. They'll be secondary characters, but I'll still explore their relationship.
O - No you missed your turn
restless_pen - watching it's one thing, shoveling it is something else entirely *grin*
Jaid - woo-hoo Flash! I can't wait to read the final version.
MargVamp - Watching it is fine; driving it is scary.
ChrisTanglen - My wife is doing a booksigning in Palm Harbor on December 1st.
restless_pen - must be something about New England males, MaryJ!
Flash4 - Where is parttwo to Starkissed, miss Lani! Me want my lizard boy! LOL
Mary Winter - I don't mind the shoveling.
MargVamp - Nice, Lani, it's fun to follow characters from one book to another.
MaryJanice - Eww, you mean that PERVERT Chris Tanglen is in here?!?
mema - where in Palm Harbor?
restless_pen - I don't mind it after the first two or three storms, when I'm back in shoveling-shape again.
MaryJanice - GRAVEROBBERS is still my all-time favorite e-book.
JoannaWyldeII - Well, just last month I had Aphrodite's Touch, and an anthology with Lani, come out. It's a fantasy set in mythical Greece. Soon I'll have "The Price of Freedom," the sequel to "the Price of Pleasure" out. It's set in my Saurellian universe, and tells the story of Jess, a mining slave who organizes a revolt and escapes. Oh, and moresexmoresexmoresex!
ChrisTanglen - Hiya, Serial Living lady!
Lanette/Lani - LOL Flash!! I'm having enough trouble getting it available again.
Flash5 - ARGH!
MargVamp - RE the Darkover con, funny thing is that they gave me the session by myself. I would MUCH rather be part of a panel.
ChrisTanglen - Mema, Books-a-Million.
Kit_Tunstall - Haha...funny coming from you, MJ
JoannaWyldeII - Who wrote Graverobbers, MaryJanice? I don't think I've heard of it....
Flash5 - Go Joanna!
MaryJanice - Jo, for one horrible minute I thought you said "the story of Jesus, a mining slave..." I was like, um, I don't think that's gonna fly...
Jaid - ROTF MJ
RockinRobin - Yeah, Lani when and where can I buy Starkissed? I saw on your site something about it..
Kit_Tunstall - Though I prefer "imaginative" to "perverse"
mema - Chris, on 19? and what time. I will go.
Mary Winter - I did a sf & sex panel at last year's DemiCon. I was super impressed with the turnout both men and women
Flash5 - Sniffle! But I loved his rolling tongue, Lani! Whimper! And his staying power! LOL
MaryJanice - It's this AWESOME funny book by Chris Tanglen, except he was writing it under his alter ego of Jeff Strand. Chris, I forget the publisher...?
Jaid - we will not even go there!
JoannaWyldeII - OMG! No way, MJ! SOOOOO not gonna happen, LOL!
MargVamp - You mean GRAVEROBBERS WANTED... by Jeff Strand?
Lanette/Lani - Yeah, Marg. I'm looking forward to really exploring their relationship thro several novels.
Flash5 - ROTFLMAO MJ
MaryJanice - Thanks, Jaid. Are there any copies of your new paperback left?!? Doubtful! (pout)
ChrisTanglen - MaryJanice, Hard Shell Word Factory.
MaryJanice - Yup, that's the one, Marg.
MargVamp - The one I've read by him is HOW TO RESCUE A DEAD PRINCESS. Funny! He's funny in person, too.
MaryJanice - Good old Mary Wolf! That's where I got my start. Love that company.
ChrisTanglen - Mema, it's 1 to 3.
Jaid - I'll have to ask Crissy - she be the bearer of de books lol
MargVamp - Darkover is a nice little con (300 or so people), and I'm in "alternate programming." I figure 10-20 in audience.
mema - I'll be there.
Jaid - Kate too I think
Mary f - J Save one for me too!
Lanette/Lani - I got my copy, Jaid. It looks wonderful!!
Flash5 - OH! I need a copy! I;ll hold that kaluah mouse recipe hostage until seh reserves one for me! LOL
Kit_Tunstall - Well, I'm off to do some cooking-type things for tomorrow. You can't actually call what I do cooking. See you all later.
MaryJanice - I re-read Empress the other day, Jaid...awesome!!!!!
Jaid - alternate programing?
MaryJanice - Bye, Kit!
ChrisTanglen - GRAVEROBBERS WANTED (NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY) started out as a Wordbeams book, but they went out of business and I moved it to Hard Shell.
RockinRobin - bye Kit
MariByrne - Night Kit!
Flash5 - Where is it at Marg? I havent; heard about it and I would love to go
Mary Winter - DemiCon is about 500, and I had 20-30. They put us in a 11 pm time slot. It was great.

MargVamp - Joanna -- major groan! I have recently signed a contract with Hard Shell for a vampire novel called CHILD OF TWILIGHT.
MaryJanice - I loved Laurell K. Hamilton before she went into hardcover. And I love the J.D. Robb books...which are going into hardcover next year (bummer!).
JoannaWyldeII - Vamps are cool! I started out with futuristics because that's where I had the first idea, but I definitely want to branch out a bit
Mary Winter - I love Anne Bishop, Fionna Patton, LKH,
Lanette/Lani - I'm working on a vampire story, too, INTERLUDE WITH THE VAMPIRE.
Jaid - ah the addiction...now that seized is out I get the most questions about that one lol. Well, I think springtime. I don't know for sure but somewhere around there

ChrisTanglen - My wife has been raving about CHILD OF TWILIGHT.
JoannaWyldeII - Oh, I LOVE Anne Bishop! Has anybody read her newest book? I haven't gotten it yet....
MaryJanice - Light a fire under her butt, Jo! As I get closer to finishing U&U I think more about the anthology.
KAREN-ROMANCE READER - IT'S MY DIABETES MJ
Flash5 - oh Christine Feehan, Amanda Ashley, Laural K Hamilton, JD Rob, just about all of the writers at EC, when I behave and fisihs what I'm supposed to do, Ann Mccarrfery, Sheesh! There are a lot of them!
MargVamp - Really, Chris? Wow, you made my week.
Mary Winter - It's in my "to be read" crate, but I picked up a couple of nf books on essays on writing science fiction that come first.
MaryJanice - LOL, Karen!

MaryJanice - Ooooh, Chris and Karen logged off together...and then logged back on together! You sluts.

JoannaWyldeII - Which book, Mary? I've been reading a number of books on reading science fiction, too. Really enjoying them!
ChrisTanglen - Always looking for a scandal, aren't you?
MariByrne - Oooo! Flash has opened the bar!

Mary f - WB Flashie
ChrisTanglen - You'd never think that MaryJanice is a quiet, shy, retiring individual when you meet her in person.
ChrisTanglen - Which she ISN'T, so it's good that you'd never think that.
JoannaIII - Okay, got the boot AGAIN!!!!!! this is getting old *whimper*

KAREN ROMANCE READER - JOANNA WYLDE
Mary f - Handing Flash and Jo pillows to soften the landings
MargVamp - Oh, I also liked TAKE A THIEF very much. It's the epic-trilogy later ones that I've found a little less satisfying.
MariByrne - Nope.
JoannaIII - Ohhh... those sound really good, Mary.
Jaid - how do you know how to make all those doohickies Flash?
RockinRobin - Why Flash is that any way to treat your number one fan?
