Dear Ms. Mueller, I read about your books on the Historical Delights yahoo group then followed the link to your website. There I would swear that I found a page of all your short stories then followed a link from them to where I bought this book. But upon going back to try and get [...]

I think I am up to 5 4 book pimping posts. In my email box yesterday, I received notice from Borders/Waldenbooks of a coupon of 30% off of any one book. Now you have to be a member, but signing up is free. I’ll be getting Crown Duel and Inda by Sherwood Smith that Nicole [...]

Dear Ms. Roberts: As you can tell by my book pimping post, I was excited to read this book. It was exactly what was promised: A Nora Roberts take on the paranormal. The characters and the magic felt familiar. The vampire lore followed traditional paths. I hadn’t read a Roberts book, though, with as many [...]

Dear Mrs. Osborne, Some of your other novels have made my “Best of” lists. You wrote westerns and stuck with the genre even when it fell out of favor. You never tried to incorporate the latest “trend” in your books but wrote about basically decent, honest people working hard and trying to make a living. [...]

Dear Sunny, Ordinarily I wouldn’t address my letter so familiarly given the fact we don’t know each other but your nom de plume is just one word: Sunny. Apparently, you are the wife of big name author, Da Chen. I assume the connection should be mentioned in the review because it is mentioned a number [...]

Dear Ms. Hart, Hallelujah you’ve published something again. After reading, and enjoying, “The Forest Whispers” and “The Assassin’s Blade” two years ago, I’d almost given up on seeing anything anything else from you. I was a very happy person when I saw this newest story out. Mali lives in a primitive world where mere survival [...]

Not that Nora Roberts needs anyone to buy her books, but I saw that her Morrigan’s Cross book is for sale at ereader.com. It’s $7.19 if you have the newsletter with the discount code. I don’t buy alot of books in eReader, but I’ll make an exception this time as Morrigan’s Cross is not supposed [...]

Dear Ms. Laurentson: The Hunting features everything I like about your writing and everything I don’t like. Your heroine is strong. Your langauge, while coarse, is fitting for the setting. The hero is hot. What I don’t like is that your book is all crescendo and no diminuendo. Even in the “downtimes” or the non [...]

Dear Readers, Allardyce wrote books set mostly in the mid 18th century and the closest description I can come up with is that they are trad Georgians. Her style is older and more reminiscent of Sheila Bishop. Usually there is some kind of mystery to clear up but since the reader knows “who dunnit,” solving [...]

The mantra going around last week amongst author blogs was “buy new”. At least one author says to readers Don’t gripe about how they aren’t publishing anything you like if you aren’t buying new books because you gave up your right to vote on what’s being published. Another author said The “swap readers” appeared, in [...]

The lads at Gearlog and Teleblog are great believers of multi function devices. Multi function devices do it all: it’s a cell phone, camera, calendar, contact, ebook reader all in one. Gearlog opines that the reason that women tend to buy a cell phone separate from a PDA is the ubiquitous purse. Of course, the [...]

Dear Mrs. Stuart, >Boy howdy some of your earlier regencies, gothics and contemporaries sell for a mint. Are they worth it? Well, in this case, yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Clause and this one is worth the money. It’s a light hearted romp with the proverbial regency characters of a spinster and a rake. [...]

Someone needs some attention. Let’s, as Sybil would say, give her some. You see, Rosina Lippi, in an attempt to keep things on the downlow, posts on her blog an explanation of an online kerfluffle that happened at the Gabaldon yahoo group. Thanks to my reader tip, I moseyed over to see what the drama [...]

Dear Ms. St. Claire, So I am on my way to a small town for a business trip and I have a Pocket PC full of books to read. This one made my four hour trip seem like 1 hour. And I gleefully reminded myself that I only paid $3.89 at SimonSays.com. Thrill Me to [...]

Dear Ms. Anderson, This was my first book by you and I bought you because I read some of your comments on Bam’s website and because Bam gave you a positive review for The Assignment. I bought that one too, but started with this book. You may not know this but I like police procedure [...]
