Maxine – thanks for your kind words. I’m glad what I said provided a lift. We all need that. Tami and Sally, thanks for stopping by and commenting. And Tammy – wow! So glad you enjoyed THE HARLOT’S DAUGHTER. Combining history and romance is what I do, so I strive to deliver on that with every book. Thanks again for having me here. It was terrific!

Blythe–so sorry I’m chiming in late because this has been such a fantabulous post! Not only am I really wanting a man candy UPS man, but, in all seriousness, what you had to say about the “soul of the brand” really resonated with me.

As for autobuys? I don’t have a lot of those thanks to a lack of funds. For me, Richard Russo, Stephanie Bond’s Bodymovers series, Tanya Michna/Michaels, and Joshilyn Jackson are all autobuys. Nora and Amanda Quick are often buys.

Hi again. After posting this morning, I went out and bought a couple of your books. I just finished reading The Harlot’s Daughter. Well done! It was a fabulous read.

You blended real history with a fictional story beautifully. The entire debate on the law and the hero and heroine both coming to see the other side’s opinion as right was fulfilling. Thank you for the author note as well.

I hope you continue to write these types of stories. I’ve got The Border Bride in line to be read. I’m looking forward to it.

I LOVE this cover! Thanks a ton for blogging here today, Blythe! You gave out a ton of great information. I could really hear the music you were talking about and smell the scents.

I love the description of the “bastards born on the wrong side of the royal blanket”. THis is an awesome catch phrase. I can’t wait to read this book.

Blythe,
This was a great post. It was one of those that makes me want to copy and paste your wisdom and put it in a document to save and reread from time to time. Thank you.
