		<description>Hey, this is cool. I didn&#039;t realize it was actually up yet! Hi Allison! Hi Jody! Thanks, all!

That&#039;s so funny that Jane tracked down that bit about Edna. She and I are still going strong--although she still refuses to be &quot;on call&quot;. She wakes me up in the middle of the night--&quot;Hey, kid! I got somethin&#039; for ya!&quot; (gravel-voiced, like a chainsmoking barfly)--and I climb out of bed and stumble to the computer, sometimes typing with my eyes closed because maybe, just maybe, I&#039;ll be able to get back to sleep afterward. I never ignore a gift from Edna!

Then just as I slip back into sleep, I&#039;ll dimly hear the roar of a motorcycle and I&#039;ll know that Edna is gone, clinging to the waist of a bald, burly biker as they ride into the night and I am on my own once again.

Makes me crazy, but that&#039;s how it works.</description>

		<description>Great Story!  I really could relate to it, as it was the need for something to put my energy into besides Babies and Hubby that led me back to romance and my blogging addiction.  Best of luck on your continued success.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Bradley has a Muse called Edna who, unfortunately, “disappears for weeks at a time with her Vin Diesel wannabe biker boyfriend.” &lt;/blockquote&gt;

LOL!</description>

		<description>Hi Celeste!  *waves wildly from back in ye olde hometown*  

As another fulltime mom/writer, I find it helps to volunteer for zero school things and pretend the house is clean enough for me, so everyone else can just shaddup.  Husband is training children to vacuum, dust, etc. since obviously those are not skills I possess.</description>

		<description>Thanks for sharing your story, Celeste.  I loved the honesty of your description, how you felt &quot;unfulfilled and twitchy&quot; as a fulltime mom.  I totally get it!  The exact reason I started writing romance as well.

P.S. (katiebabs) I like heroes with big wee-wees.</description>

		<description>I love the fun spirit of how you entered into writing. Congratulations on the great books!

&quot;I had sexy danger and dangerous sex. (My husband appreciated this inspiration very much)&quot;
Totally true. You have to wonder why guys would ever bash romances.</description>
