I feel honored. <BR/><BR/>I'm the lady with whom you had an early dinner in Dalla (no, not she of the inspired horsetoricals LOL). You were alone, I was alone, neither of us minded dining alone, but decided to throw our lots together for a very pleasant dinner conversation. I live not far from Davis so we have some friends in common.<BR/><BR/>Great post. Thanks for sharing such an unusual genre with us.

You can call me Ana if you like! Good point - and you're right, that's tough. There's a luxury to being unpublished and being able to stew on every comma and wait for the next big idea to strike you. And what I sold wasn't like anything else I'd written so I didn't have a drawer to go to for the next submission! I think one of the things I've learnt is how much promotion is involved in being a writer. It's fun and it's rewarding but it certainly chews up the hours.<BR/><BR/>Actually, a nice surprise was that people write to you and tell you that they love your book!

You know, brilliant doctor comes up with diagnosis nobody else would have and saves the day! I'm delighted to see another medieval around. I started writing medievals way back when I started (it was contemporary history then!). And I've always had a huge fondness for the adventure and high stakes that those stories seem to beg for from a writer. <BR/><BR/>Is there anything you've learnt as a newly published writer that you wished you'd known before?Anna Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695579361323275316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-50874118071307256552007-09-05T15:50:00.000-04:002007-09-05T15:50:00.000-04:00Hi Keira,Nice to "see" you here!

What a fabulous way to make them instantly memorable. <BR/><BR/>I agree with Andrea: Horses seem to be an accessory in Regencies, but in medievals, they're an integral part of character, and sometimes a full-fledged character. So where on that spectrum does your story lie?<BR/><BR/>Of course being a hoyden, you must've incorporated plenty actual history into your story. So, does your book recvolve around one pivotal battle/monarchical change ??Keira Soleorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440213826734580889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-35820774117928371412007-09-05T13:12:00.000-04:002007-09-05T13:12:00.000-04:00Kathryn, we're so glad to have you here!

I am tired of a paranormal element in every book I want to read. Of course, your horse healer may have a touch of olde magick, but that's fine by me. As long as she isn't a woman by day and a werewolf roaming the moors by night, I'm there! *g*<BR/><BR/>I remember you from Donna's tale of First Sale vs. GH ribbon. I think we all agree that First Sale trumps! I hope the books fly off the shelves.
