Jayne, truly, you are my hero for pretending I sound like Lauren Bacall. I’m not sure what it does for your credibility when people actually hear me, but still…actually, I think I MIGHT sound like Lauren Bacall right now. I believe all the yellow pollen has coated my vocal cords that much.

Happy Anniversary! It’s a fantastic site, it’s hard to believe y’all built it up to what it is in only one year.

I really should pay greater attention, where was the mention of the Amazon Gift certificates?

Thanks guys, what a nice surprise! Will e-mail ASAP!

Congrats, ladies!

I don’t like the layout of the comments, especially when the posts are long–I’m not complaining about the length of some of your posts though.

You’ve blogged about *how many* books in just one year? OMG, you deserve a medal. :)

Congratulations on a great year! I started reading Dear Author just before Thanksgiving - it was a week of joyous reviews - bliss.

I like the mix of reviews, news, commentary and discussion. In my mind the Ja(y)nes have the work ethic of Nora Roberts; there is no other way to explain the dynamic, fresh, wide-ranging content of the site.

Change? a search function would be great. (SQL wizards should be more attentive to their sisters) Otherwise, I’m a stick in the mud; be different and don’t change the site layout.

Happy Anniversary! I’m really surprised that it’s only been a year…the Plotmonkeys (my plotting partners and I) are celebrating our year anniversary in a week or so…I had no idea we started around the same time.
