Gee, I guess I’m like Cindy. I loved her blog, and then was excited to find out that she was going to be published.

That Tempting Hugh cover is too funny. Is there any hope that you’ll work He-Man and She-Ra into an upcoming novel? Think of the endless hours wasted in Photoshop!

Great story Meljean.

Awwww, I didn’t know that was how you got your start! Super cool and you are so funny because I totally believe you wrote back with a ‘You Suck!! but if this is for real…’

Teddy, she had a bunch of pictures on her blog for us readers to look through and help her decide which was the best for her ‘author shot’. I’m telling you there wasn’t a bad photo in the bunch. Not only hot, but she’s hilarious and down to earth.

Sorry, I’m a fangirl from before her anthology – I found her blog first and discovered she wrote romance after.

And Sandra – I’m thinking you just won the award for most money spent on a book spree! Day-am.

Lovely, lovely story, Meljean! I mean, wow! to be snatched up by a NY editor even before you’ve submitted something! Awesome! I’ll need to check your books out (again, right after my bank account has recovered from that 350-Euro order at abebooks).

But –

What bad hair are you talking about??? :)

I love how you tell a story, Meljean :-)
While I am waiting for UNDERWEARLD, I might have to hunt down these WW/Batman fanfics. . .

Man, I was all set to steal Karen’s bit about cake, but she beat me to it! I am dying to read Demon Moon, Ms. Brook. (soon precious, soon) hmm, that reads creepier than I intended- oh well!

As a straight woman, I’m with Teddy. Meljean is beautiful.

Wow, what a nice story for what seems like a really nice person. I’ll go hunt down a book of yours now.
