Sara-Moderator - well, I love to escape
Mac - Just like all mine and Geek's computer supplies are tax deductible....he owns a computer business....
JayneAnnKrentz - Yeah, well, it is in a way. But in another way.....
Mary f - Why Jayne it just means you books stay on peoples KEEPER shelves!
Cissy-moderator - No, Jayne! Just means you're good. Not little old ladies and tea comfort, more yummy heroes and great stories comfort
Gail Crease - LOL Jayne. You definitely are. I've read just about all your Amanda Quick books and loved them all
AnaSeymour - RWA in the Big Apple should be great!
RobinDOwens2 - Someone was battened down for a hurricane last year and pulled out one of your books to help, Jayne!
Jollie - Why constantly re-read when you could read new books and new authors?
O - How old are you Jayne
RobinDOwens2 - True story.
Sara-Moderator - and I think I will dig out my psyhic vampire -- although fuzz sounds good too. He/she/it is in harmony, I know
darlas - Oh, well, then, Jayne, your books are a very UN-comfortable read.
Mac - Not to mention we get the stuff CHEAPER than you can get at the stores....hehehe 
Cissy-moderator - can't wait, Ana - will you be there?
JayneAnnKrentz - Gail Crease: Thanks! Now I feel much better.
Mac - Ok, I'm done bragging....lol
Jollie - good
AnaSeymour - I certainly hope to be!
RobinDOwens2 - Good for you, Mac.
O - Gorgett Heyer books are great and should be read over and over
Lea - but if you itemisize yoiur taxes you can't use stnd decudtions I don't have even to decuuction or itemize my taxes
Rain - Jollie - sometimes it's just nice to visit with old friends.
darlas - Oh, Jollie.... because some books you just have to visit again
Mac - good what?
Cissy-moderator - Great! You'll have to come to the Writerspace party

AnaSeymour - My TV reporter daughter filmed an interview with them--it was priceless!
BadBarb - oh ok, Im going to be there too, and think Morgan is coming
Delyn - Hmmm.... It's like this... JAK (and pseudonyms) are on the autobuy list... don't have to think twice... know that they'll be a good read... don't have to worry that I'll get irritated by clumsy editting, or a writing style that doesn't connect... so YES, I'd say your a comfortable read...
Jollie - I suppose. But it would be boring to re-read the same things over and over. Broken record syndrome.
Gail Crease - 60 years should be celebrated in a BIG way!
