The roads in Indiana were slick...I'm very excited about Love Is Murder, and praying for good weather so everyone can get there safely.<BR/><BR/>Do you all like to listen to books in the car?

Ouji boards don't scare me (mostly becuase I don't believe anything that looks like a commercially-made game board can actually connect to the other world) and I always enjoy a good pact with the devil!Jan Broganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11323983086318138814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-36893696273311076452009-01-14T18:25:00.000-05:002009-01-14T18:25:00.000-05:00Hi Laura...Looking forward to your latest...and to...Hi Laura...<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to your latest...and to seeing you at Love is Murder.

Perhaps that's why I like to work with that material....But one of the reasons I'm so in love with the Her Royal Spyness books is that they have no darkness whatsoever. It's a delightful relief to be in such a lovely, fun environment for a few hours.<BR/><BR/>I have to hop in the car and drive all day from St. Louis to Cincinnati for my next event, but I'll check back in just as soon as I arrive.<BR/><BR/>Happy Birthday, Roberta!

I remember doing a Ouija board once with a friend who was definitely fee. By mutual agreement the rest of us removed our fingers from the wine glass, leaving Ruth alone touching it and it absolutely flew around from letter to letter. <BR/>So never again!<BR/>But that sort of dabbling in darkness makes great reading. I can handle it when it's safely in a book. Good luck with the new book, Laura.Rhys Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663634889908752121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-12951607049302052382009-01-14T10:23:00.000-05:002009-01-14T10:23:00.000-05:00Hi dear Laura!
