I got fan mail!

I love fan mail. It's always very uplifting to have someone tell you that your book touched them.

I'm going to share two of them here:

Just finished Harts Victory, what a wonderful story. Charlie is such a strong person and knows what his mom needs. I am glad Hart was so persistent. I go to 10 races a year and am a real NASCAR fan. I have really been enjoying the Harlequin Series. You are a great writer and I am looking forward to Out of Line and Tailspin in the future. Have a Happy Holiday.

Thanks Suzanne! Your email made my day! This book really does have a special place in my heart. I'll be blogging more later on the karma that surrounds this novel but the C.M. it's dedicated to is one of my former students who passed away at age 16 of leukemia in 2006. This is my way to immortalize him a little. It's also a book that I wrote so my daughter could read her first romance--well, my romance. She's been reading the other NASCAR ones as well.

I picked up a copy of 'Capturing the Cop' at the library and can't remember the last time I've laughed so much while reading a romance novel. I love both Olivia and Garrett's character. I'm only on page 71 but I had to write and tell you how much I'm enjoying this novel-it's the kind of book a reader never wants to end. I'll have to track one down for my keeper shelf. I'm a freelance writer--mostly nonfiction--but I did win one of Harlequin's writing round robin contests--which was a real thrill since my heart's desire is to write for Harlequin. I am looking forward to reading more of your books! Sonya

Congrats on winning one of the writing round robin contests! I never won a contest at all. As for Olivia and Garrett, I wanted to end the Grandpa Joe series with a bang, and what a way to do it by setting the book in my quirky city of St. Louis. If you like this one, you may want to search for Olivia's cousin Darci's story in Catching the Corporate Playboy.
