She's not just a great writer, she really encourages new writers. My writing group lives on her web site and she's always ready to answer questions and offer advice.<BR/><BR/>I've got two cover blurbs -- Kelley Armstrong and Adrian Phoenix. Both excellent writers who have been generous with their encouragement and support.<BR/><BR/>DBRDonnaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084481047963331136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-21095655356102477492009-03-19T17:19:00.000-07:002009-03-19T17:19:00.000-07:00Donna - you're welcome.

Wow, how cool! I'm a huge fan of hers, and I agree with you on Bitten. I love that you chose a few more obscure books for the island, too - I may have to add them to my list.

Had I known I could cheat and bring the Omnibus I would have! lol Now I can just borrow the first book from you. :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tip on the Gwen Hunter series it sounds good.<BR/><BR/>I love Bitten and Stolen by Armstrong! Ok, so I haven't read any farther in the series but they are so damned good! <BR/><BR/>And LOTR - never read the books but LOVE the movies. *ducks and runs for cover*Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320961506471746567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-51873104794580743452009-03-19T10:58:00.000-07:002009-03-19T10:58:00.000-07:00Lesley, as a friend, I have to tell you that heroe...<B>Lesley,</B> as a friend, I have to tell you that heroes do wear out if you use them too much. It might be time to rotate the inventory. Let one of the guys get a hut of his own and rest awhile, lie in the sun unmolested, er, unless he's a vampire, of course.

It can be fairly brutal in some places, but it's totally original and she's a wonderful writer. <BR/><BR/>As for a hero replacement, Raphael is a formidable hero! He's tall, dark and gorgeous, VERY protective of what's his and not afraid to use his considerable power to get what he wants. But he's pure alpha. You'll never see Raphael submitting to anyone, not even Cyn.<BR/>Of course, he wouldn't take well to <I>sharing</I> the hut either --he's a pretty possessive kind of vampire.
