dee2 - ty kathleen
DebSalonen - I'm a Dec. author. I’m holding my breath in case the storm that just hit takes out our power. December has been a crazy month, but I’ve been blessed with great readers who have written to tell me how much they like the first book of my Those Sullivan Sisters series, MY HUSBAND, MY BABIES. It’s a very emotional book – just what everyone wants during the holidays – a little extra emotion, right? But I promise next month when we meet to talk about the January books, you’ll agree that WITHOUT A PAST is a lot lighter. Have a wonderful holiday and I look forward to chatting with you for the next two months.
TheMiddleSister - Are you ALL authors? Is this a "restricted" party? I'm only a "wanna-be". Not published . . . yet.
Laura Abbot - Thanks for checking in, all. My December book, A SUMMER PLACE, includes mystery, romance, secrets, and a family restored. Laurel Eden finds more than her dream of opening a gift shop comes true when she moves to Belleporte, MI, and meets Ben Logan, a man who doesn't think he's ready for romance. Especially after he uncovers a secret in Laurel's past that changes everything--for Ben, for Laurel, and for those she loves.
dee2 -
Kathleen O'Brien - Happy Holidays, everyone! I'm Kathleen O'Brien. My latest Superromances have been Four Seasons in Firefly Glen. The most recent, The Redemption of Matthew Quinn, was out in October.
Brenda Novak - Hi, Kathryn. I just saw your Berkley cover somewhere...cant' remember where, but it looks good.
Carrie Alexander - Holly, jolly Christmas from Carrie Alexander! My December book is NORTH COUNTRY MAN, the first in a series to be called North Country Stories. The unofficial title is Hermits Comes A-Courtin'. It has kooky characters, a heroine who's not slender and gorgeous <G>, a Finn/Yooper glossary and a steamy sauna love scene.
Denise - ooh, Laura, sounds as fascinating as all of your books
DebSalonen - TMS, you are SO welcome here. Pleas stay.
Sara-Moderator - no no, it is a "mixed" party
Ophelia - I'm looking forward to the last of the Firefly Glen series, Kathleen! I can't believe we all have to wait a whole year.
Linda Barrett - Laura--I just have to tell you that you've hooked me in A Summer Place. I just started it today with the intention of reading a little, but I read A LOT! Great work!
Sara-Moderator - readers and authors
moose - I got kicked off .......
Delyn - Laura, what part of Michigan did you model Belleporte on?
Brenda Novak - Your very welcome here, Middle Sister.
Carrie Alexander - No, Middle, this party is for everyone. But there are a LOT of authors here!
DebSalonen - Carrie, I'm reading NCM now and I love Noah -- and his ark.
midnight_haven - loved the book KATHLEEN
Laura Abbot - Middle Sister, no, we're not all authors, and we LOVE it when readers like you join us.
TheMiddleSister - Thanks, Sara!
Caffey - I love series books!
Kathleen O'Brien - Thanks, Ophelia. Yes, it's a long wait....but, I hope it will be worth it! Thanks so much, Midnight and Ophelia!
Sara-Moderator - however, if you get bounced, the auditorium is open, so you can watch the banter and winners being annouced
Caffey - ahhh hang on Diana!
Roz Fox - Hi, I'm Roz Fox My next book is a January Super R, "Someone To Watch Over Me" a spin off from "Wide Open Spaces" Glad to see you all. Loved the December books one and all.
Laura Abbot - Delyn, I spent childhood summers at my grandmother's at Grand Beach, just over the IN/MI border.
Rebecca de Winter - What a wonderful time of year! It's so nice to see everyone here. I have a superromance coming out in February, ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE - It's part 1 in a 2 part series about the gorgeous Hawkins brothers whose road to romance is rocky indeed. Hi
Rogenna - Happy Holidays! I'm Rogenna Brewer. Midway Between You And Me came out in July. It is my 3rd In Uniform.
moose - I love the Firefly Glen books
Sara-Moderator - did all the December authors go? I missed a flying screen
DebSalonen - We had 25 authors sign up. A couple had to cancel. I'm putting in their greetings so they're not left out.
Carrie Alexander - Thanks, Deb. <G>
Roxanne Rustand - Hi! My seventh Super was out in November, 2002...and is still available through online bookstores and by order at your favorite bookstore: Operation Mistletoe. The storyline of Mistletoe: DEA Special Agent Sarah Hanrahan has been sent to her hometown in northern Minnesota for an undercover operation. She doesn't expect to find that the local deputy is now Gage Roth, a man who epitomizes what she gladly left behind long ago--the tightly closed social strata of this small town. Given her dark past and the secrets she must keep, there couldn't be a more impossible relationship...
O - Is that your real name Roz Fox
Sara-Moderator - so, Rogenna, you wear a uniform WHILE writing?
Kathleen O'Brien - Thanks, Diana. I have loved "living" there. It's been hard to leave!
Caffey - hi Roz!

Ophelia - Me too, Moose.
dee2 - brb
Cissy - loving these intros!

Kathleen O'Brien - LOL, Sara!
Caffey - they are awesome!
Roz Fox - O--That's my real name. I write as Roz Denny Fox, and Hello Caffey!
Cissy - getting lots of books to add to my TBB list
Delyn - Laura, just wondering... I live a lot farther north, but spent a couple of years in South Bend, IN.
Rogenna - LoL--Sara, PJ's and bedroom slippers!
DebSalonen - For my good friend Bethany Campbell who wanted to be here but had family obligations, “Sorry to miss the chat, but we go to Key West for the holidays. My favorite Christmas dinner is a cheeseburger in Paradise. If I could, I’d send everyone of you a big slice of Key line pie and a freshly picked poinsettia. Peace and best wishes, Bethany.”
Sara-Moderator - I'm sorry I couldn't be with you tonight. I hope you will watch for my January Superromance, THE MAN UPSTAIRS. It's another story set at 14 VALENTINE PLACE. For those of you who have written to ask about Garret and Krystal--I am very pleased to report that they are getting their own Superromance which will be book three of this series. Wishing you the happiest of holiday seasons. Pamela Bauer
Linda Barrett - Deb--did you talk about your trilogy yet? I've just stated on Jenny's story,
Rogenna - But I was in the Navy once upon a time.
midnight_haven - im in my PJ's (most comfortbale)
Caffey - thats from Pamela!
Sara-Moderator - just clarifying!
Ann K99 -
Sara-Moderator - yes, Pamela's son is graduating from college tonight!! Hooray for him (and Pamela)
DebSalonen - LInda, I apologized for it -- because it's kinda heavy emotionally, but I love the story so I've gotta quit doing that.
moose - My Husband , My Babies is wonderful
R C - Laaura, if your new book is half as great as "A Country Practice" it's going to be a hit.
Joan Kilby - My next book is out in February, titled Child of Their Vows. It's the third in a series about the Hanson sisters. In COTV Kelly and Max, married for thirteen years, split up over Max's secret son from a previous relationship.
Rogenna - I agree, Midnight!
Roxanne Rustand - Denise--Operation:Katie was the first in the Special Agents series, and was out in June. In this one: When DEA Special Agent Zach Forrester's terrified sister drops her daughter Katie at his doorstep and disappears, he's soon on the run with her to a small Colorado town, the one safe place he knows. For Katie's sake, he'll face the one woman he never forgot...
Caffey - so great they can be here in spirit too with us
PatriciaJean - Sara, are the readers on protocol?
Cissy - don't apologize for good emotion, Deb!
Roz Fox - Midnight--you're our kind of woman!
Sara-Moderator - I thought maybe, Rogenna, you dragged the uniform out of mothballs to do your writing in
DebSalonen - Son-inlaw, I think. But I'm sure she loves him like a son.
Sara-Moderator - we are not talking questions tonight. So if you have one, pop it in
Linda Barrett - No, you don't, Deb. Big emotional stories are my favorites! I write them, too.
Denise - Lord, woman, you sure know how to wring emotion from me.
O - II love that book Roxanne it was so good
