Hi Eve,

This was my first-ever contest and I think I’m hooked enough to join RWA and enter some more . I’m sure with editorial help you’ll bring your dream to completion.

I was like dd, too, and started reading M&Bs when I was about her age – so it’s fun recognising her curiosity …lol. Although I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before I have to share my tbr pile :-/ at least when she’s not riding!

Thank you very much, India, I love yours too!

Sue, thank you! I had never had the courage to enter contests before so finding a little courage to do so has been so rewarding! Now I just need to try very hard and KEEP trying very hard to bring ‘completion’. Your thirteen your old sounds like me at her age. My mom didn’t KNOW I was reading so imagine the delights I found there!!

Eve – I meant to say congratulations also on winning the Brava competition with Unexpectedly Expected. I loved your entry. How great to be able to work with a Presents’ ed and Kate Duffy! Go you!

Btw, my 13 yr old is horse-mad and has started to read my Presents over my shoulder I’ve discovered one way of turning her into a reader is to say ‘you can’t read this’ or ‘this bit isn’t suitable for you’

I didn’t manage to get here yesterday but a quick hello and congratulations from me too, Eve. I really love your name, and hope we’ll be seeing it on the cover of a book sometime soon!

Lynn, I know! And I have high hopes you’ll go after that dream, and tell us all about your horse soon *wink*

Thank you, Annie! I’ve LOVED each and every book I’ve read since them, and the authors, too. I can’t be grateful enough to these women (or some men?) who keep writing these fabulous books!! Thank you for the congrats.

Thank you to Harlequin Presents for having me today. It’s been wonderful!

Eve,

Congratulations on doing so well in the contest. What a thrill! I had to smile when I read you’d been hooked on romance since your teens – snap – me too. How great that you’re now writing them as well. I’m looking forward to reading your opening chapter.

Simply going for a nice trail ride is the best, I think. Sometimes, I think I’d like a horse again.
