As a reader, I get sick of seeing endless releases of the same old stuff. As a writer, I want the freedom to explore whatever time intrigues me. <br /><br />Hence, I've settled on American Civil War romances, even though the big publishers say readers don't like that period, or any period in American history.<br /><br />Your stories sound great!Susan Macateehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476340887041053638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397823929405584725.post-79248119068632831612011-01-07T14:01:40.895-05:002011-01-07T14:01:40.895-05:00Thanks all!

No, Julie, as a child I was painfully shy and always did what I was supposed to do.<br /><br />I got over it.<br /><br />When the article in RWR came out, a friend of mine emailed me, saying: "Did you read the last paragraph on page 19? I hope you sell a million copies!"<br /><br />So, of course, that was the first thing I read - and I was stunned! I thought it was just coincidence, but too many people have disagreed.<br /><br />So now, I'm USING it as a springboard.<br /><br />Glad you are enjoying the book, Isabel! :)Kris Tuallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07722058168693379917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397823929405584725.post-30534492193910763002011-01-07T12:47:28.891-05:002011-01-07T12:47:28.891-05:00Thanks again, Kris for stopping by!

First, there are millions of geeks out there; ergo, the digital explosion, Microsoft, Apple, multiple computers in every home, Kindle, Nook, and other e-readers. Second, Diana Gabaldon started a tsunami with Claire and Jaime, but Kris is right - we all enjoy a new voice, a new setting, a new hero!
