August 16, 2006 | friends
It’s about time I properly thanked the kind readers who responded to my two posts below about being stuck in the airport and about finding out we’re having a baby boy. I could do it in the comments section, but I love posting these lists of friends because they are really the best people.
So: Thank you Jenna Richard, Lis, Anna Adams, Lori, Wanda, Michelle Styles, Ray-Anne, Liz Fielding, Jessica Raymond, Anna Lucia, Kris Starr, Margaret McDonagh, Jenny Haddon, Kate Walker, and Saskia Walker for your sympathy and good wishes for me and the baby while we were stuck at the airport.
Thank you Michelle Styles, Dee Tenorio, Karen, Jessica, Rosie, Sela Carson, Mags, Chris M, Nell Dixon, Kris, Jenna R, JM, April, Liz, Sahndre, Julie Day, Anna A, Amanda Ashby, Anna, Sue/MsCreativity, Lynette Rees, Cat Marsters, Jude, and Lis, for your congratulations on our little boy.
Wanda, JM, Lynette, Cat and Chris M, welcome to the blog if I haven’t welcomed you before.
Jenna, while I love the name “Cillian” for a baby, I think my husband will be a little bit suspicious if I call our son after one of my celebrity crushes. Though I think I’ll be trying to get the name “Owen” past him. Heh heh heh.
(And no, he wouldn’t be named Owen Cohen. “Cohen” is my maiden name. I am not that cruel.)
JM, I do not yet know Hugh Dancy. Must check that one out. Especially as my next hero is named Hugh.
Sue/MsCreativity, I am SO glad you enjoyed DELICIOUS. You said: LOVE Elisabeth and Angus, and I also love the way you made every secondary character count too. (How did you manage that without having them take over the book?!) I don’t suppose there’s a future story for Jo brewing?
If you check out this blog post about Delicious, you’ll see how I designed the secondary characters to be echoes of the hero and heroine. Even the chickens.
And yes, Jo’s story is coming out in October. (Jo is the heroine’s best friend in Delicious.) It’s called MARRIED IN A RUSH and you can read more about it here and order it here!
And speaking of friends and books, Sela Carson has a book out this week at Samhain, a sexy, funny paranormal novella called Not Quite Dead. Check it out!
Sela says:
This is so exciting!!! I can’t wait to read Jo’s story.
Thank you so much for mentioning NQD! That’s so generous of you!!
Karen says:
I didn’t realize Married in a Rush is Jo’s story! Yea!
Sue aka MsCreativity says:
Woohoo! I LOVE it when I sniff out a potential story for a secondary character, and discover it’s already been written - it means I don’t have to wait!!
Sue :-)(aka MsImpatient)!
Julie Day says:
I didn’t realise that Married…was Jo’s story, either, so look forward to reading it even more now.
JM says:
Thanks for the welcome! There were some pics somewhere on the IMDb that included both Ioan Gruffudd and Hugh Dancy if you want double the fun.
sigh
Julie says:
Sela, you are more than welcome. It’s a great story.
Karen, Sue, and Julie, I hope you enjoy Married in a Rush!
JM, I will go on a hunt…
