As a matter of fact, I have a book signing on Halloween - I'm doing it in costume, of course! <br /><br />Hi Gwynlyn. Thanks for stopping by. I have a sweet read without vamps that I'll share with you at the NJRW conference. Looking forward to seeing you there.<br /><br />Thanks for coming by, Debra. The nomination for the award floored me! Then, on the same day Retribution was released, I got the letter stating I had won. Blessings and timing... Wow. My hands shook all night - but in a good way! <br /><br />Hi Hywela! Thanks for your comment. I agree about good overcoming evil. I put my vampire on a road to redemption. Overcoming evil within as well as without brings excitement and anticipation to the plot. And no, we wouldn't want anything too scary to frighten our little trick-or-treaters - ever!!M.Flagghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103836537099873046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456337395840098707.post-38071655191672947512009-09-24T15:55:18.059-05:002009-09-24T15:55:18.059-05:00Danielle, you are so very right!

It's nice to meet you too! My imagination used to go into high gear trying to make my children's costumes - and I kept them all. Maybe someday I'll sew a few for grandkids too! <br /><br />I appreciate your compliment, Doralynn. The tone, one's voice for a vampire romance novel is part of it's intrigue. Thanks!<br /><br />Hi, Anne. Don't get me started on those lawn decorations. I'm beginning to think that Halloween will soon rival Christmas!<br /><br />Hi Jenn.

Now that I have a strong cup of coffee, I can think again. Retribution is doing quite well, and I'll be sure to let you know when Consequences is also out there. <br /><br />Oh, I do have a free read that will be up at The Wild Rose Press in October. Also a sweet non-paranormal will be posted on the LASR review site on November 19th. It's my first happily ever after without goblins, ghosts or vamps!<br /><br />Thanks again for having me!M.Flagghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103836537099873046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456337395840098707.post-66031866184056309722009-09-24T15:36:37.497-05:002009-09-24T15:36:37.497-05:00Hi Mickey.

I really enjoyed your excerpt.<br /><br />I agree, Halloween is certainly a chance to encourage the imagination of children, provided it doesn't become too scary and is kept lighthearted. I've always been fascinated by the paranormal, and for me it's all about good overcoming evil - and giving the reader some excitement on the way!Hywela Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789711554354184386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456337395840098707.post-85544568589342770682009-09-24T15:30:24.889-05:002009-09-24T15:30:24.889-05:00And a Happy Halloween to you Mickey.

I do miss all the fun I used to have when I was young on Oct. 31.
