Congrats on the #1, Melanie! I’ve got the entire Karedes series just waiting for me to finish revisions so I can gobble them down in one delicious read-fest.

Sounds like I have a lot to look forward to!

This sounds like another emotionally charged addition to the fabulous Karedes series – looking forward to it! Thank goodness the holidays are approaching.

Caitlin, now there’s a name I haven’t used yet as a heroine. It’s so pretty too. I’ll have to keep it in mind.
Now you see how a writer works- we are constantly on the hunt for inspiration!

Oops, I forgot to say get well to Susan. You poor darling! I hate being sick with flu. It’s not the piggy one, is it?
Take care,

Thanks all of you for your lovely comments.
Anne, I know what you mean about the TBR pile. I had a few months in and out of hospital with back and foot surgery which put me way in front in terms of reading, so much so that for the first time in my life I got sick of it. I had a little break and watched heaps of movies instead but now I am back reading and loving it again.
hugs to everyone.

Melanie, It sounds like a really emotional read. I’ll be looking forward to getting through with the current work in progress so I can start in on my TBR pile again. It’s in danger of toppling. Fortunately yours is near the top!

Hi Melanie,

You’re spot on about how writing a Presents story can be draining, but it’s worth it! By the time our heroes and heroines work throught those emotional issues they deserve their happy ending and I love to cheer them on. I love picking up a great Presents story and taking that rollercoaster ride with the characters then sighing when things turn out right.

Congratulations on the number 1 spot! I’m looking forward to reading this one and all of the Karedes series.

I look forward to reading this one, Melanie. I love stories that deal with intense issues–you really enter into the characters’ conflicts and the happily-ever-after can be so powerful.

What an amazing thought- to write the story of a child from a current story in 30 years time! Robyn Donald recently did, didn’t she?

A chance to really show “Happy Ever After”
