I need my butt wiped!" and a LEGO digs into the female character's hip wouldn't be, uh, romantic enough?<br /><br />And I've started following your blog too. I'm finding it's so much easier to read blogs, do research, read Kindleboards, check the NYT publishing articles, etc. than to actually write my mss. But not today! Will write!Harper Alibeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10411874947409135465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404000893264850723.post-75983146590269514532011-03-21T16:10:08.319-07:002011-03-21T16:10:08.319-07:00I'm all about messy house=good book.

I've got a 7 and 10 yo myself.<br /><br />I just blogged back to you from <a rel="nofollow">my blog</a>, so we're creating a nice little loop-de-loop, lol. Hope your Monday Reviews really take off--I'm curious to see what you review next.

You wouldn't believe what three kids 12 and under can do to a house while their mom reads an erotic romance novel and their dad plays Uru.<br /><br />:)<br /><br />Glad to read and review, and keep writing!Harper Alibeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10411874947409135465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404000893264850723.post-40954652564355263262011-03-21T09:48:18.358-07:002011-03-21T09:48:18.358-07:00Thank you, Harper!

I loved writing Quick Study, am relieved you got the Say Anything reference, and thrilled you couldn't put it down.<br /><br />I was very curious to know how readers would classify the story--as an erotic contemporary romance or just a contemporary romance with a high heat level? <br /><br />The novel I have coming out in April (Love Handles) will be less steamy (in terms of percentages of pages spent having sex, not necessarily the details of those happy moments). I consider it a romantic comedy in the vein of Susan Elizabeth Phillips (swoon). <br /><br />Anyway, your blog, my happiness. Thanks again and I hope other readers like it as much as you did!Gretchen Galwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14338590200598413217noreply@blogger.com
