Dear Ms. Gunning, You are getting quite the reputation for writing detailed, women-centric books about Colonial life in America. “The Rebellion of Jane Clarke” is the third book which centers on the people of the village of Satucket on the island of Cape Cod and it takes us ever closer to the point where Britain [...]

Disclosure: Back in the days when pterodactyls soared across the skies (about a dozen years ago or so) I took a couple of eight week novel writing classes with Patricia Ryan. She was a wonderful teacher, and I learned a lot from those classes. Aside from those two courses, and a one day writing workshop [...]

Dear Ms. Bird, After eyeing it all year last year, I finally decided to sign up for Keishon’s TBR Challenge. I figured it would motivate me to dig up some of the older books that have piled up around my house which I have been ignoring in favor of the new and shiny. Keishon’s assignment [...]

Dear Mrs Gunning, A friend of mine told me about your first book in this series. Raved about it in fact. And I had put it down on my TBB list but just never got around to making the purchase. When Jane sent me the arc for “Bound,” I got all excited and told myself [...]

Dear Mrs O’Connell, I’m still not sure what made me pick up your book in Waldenbooks and decide to try it. I can’t remember if it was turned out on the shelf or if it was just a lucky grab but I enjoyed reading it despite a few problems. I also intend to recommend it [...]

Dear Ms. Bird: One thing that seems a lost art in the new crop of romances is its failure to focus on the development of the actual relationship. Romance, at its best, is character driven with the central plot being the intersecting of two individuals to mesh into one stronger, better unit. A great category [...]

Dear Mrs Strohmeyer, I loved The Cinderella Pact and was delighted when Jane mailed a review copy of your new hardback, The Sleeping Beauty Proposal. I found it enjoyable and funny but not quite as good as the first book. At 36, Genie Michaels is beginning to feel that she has hit the snooze button [...]

Dear Ms. Cross: I read this one against my will. I had started your last book, One More Time but then stopped after the first three chapters which featured a lawyer basically throwing a case because he believed his client was guilty. When I received All or Nothing, I was sure I didn’t want to [...]

Dear Ms. St. Claire: I availed myself of the Simon & Schuster early ebook release program and snagged the ebook version of Take Me Tonight (Bullet Catchers, No 3) a few weeks ago. This week, the print version makes its way into bookstores. I had enjoyed the previous Bulletcatcher books. Unfortunately this novel required one [...]

Dear Mrs. Cummings, I read your novel “My Rebel Belle” (TBH, I still cringe at that title) and quickly bought the rest of your published books. I had a feeling that “An Affair of Honor” might tie in with it and indeed it does, telling the story of the US Civil War from the Northern [...]

Dear Ms. Leto It was been debated whether you write to the market or write what is in your heart. I have always voted that I want writers to write what is in their hearts because it makes for a better read. Your heart, shows through in this story and the first one in the [...]
