I do love historical romance. I'll check out Michelle's book as soon as I finish re-reading "Forever Amber". Wheww that's a long one. About 760 pages. Good for Michelle to be able to save her book. <br /><br /><a href="http://beajayblock.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Manzanita@Wannabuyaduck</a>Manzanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467261212623663365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212609737973215552.post-27842187437887344732011-10-08T12:34:44.662+12:002011-10-08T12:34:44.662+12:00Congratulations Michelle!

No matter how hard I try to stay out of them. The past few times I've set friends up on dates it's ended badly, but it turns out to be a good thing for them, they always meet their spouse afterwards. I definitely might identify with Henri just a wee bit.

I needed to show her humanity early. I accomplished this by adding a friend in chapter one. Short lived but necessary and folks began to appreciate her.<br /><br />I wish you all the best with your book.<br />Nancy<br /><a href="http://nrwilliams.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">N. R.
