So sweet of you to drop by. We'll have...Hi EH,<br /><br />So sweet of you to drop by. We'll have lots of books coming out soon- I think the dry spell we hit when I had the personal problems and Jude had eye surgery has caught up to us, and we don't have a lot of new stuff out just now. We are writing like crazy to remedy that.<br /><br />I love reading your reviews and have to say I'm amused that you try and pick out which of us wrote which part- no one else has ever done that!<br /><br />My trip up North was an adventure to be sure! If I didn't hate flying so much, I'd have to plan to a trip across the pond to visit a certain reviewer and her boys who love chocolate as much as me! Heh heh heh, no worries, flying 5 hours from Minneapolis to Seattle was about as long as I care to be in an airplane!<br /><br />Jude's coming to visit me, next time. Or I'm driving to her island. (They have ferries, you know!)<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />JennaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-85978249491629950312009-09-15T07:51:53.011-04:002009-09-15T07:51:53.011-04:00Lisabet,
You're exactly right. When I'm w...Lisabet,<br /><br />You're exactly right. When I'm writing solo, and either haven't gotten firmly into something or have hit a dry patch- you'll find me updating my website or blog, or visiting Ning...LOL But when we're working together, I feel more of a need to keep focused.<br /><br />How did we get started? We'd been talking a lot, and one of us broached the subject- honestly can't remember which. It was tentative at first. "If you want to." "Yeah, maybe, if you want to," kind of a thing. But once we got going, we could tell it was working just fine.<br /><br />Do I ever get pissed off at Jude? No. Do I ever reach through the monitor and smack her across the virtual head? Sure. She's like me, remember, and sometimes I do goofy things. Usually a nice emoticon does the trick. :P<br /><br />Do I ever get jealous? Nah, because we invite each other along on things. If she finds something new and cool to try, she'll mention it to me and vice versa. We don't always do the same things, but at least we keep each other informed. Sometimes her solo projects go like gangbusters, and sometimes mine take off. We have a nice balance. And I think if one of us were to hit the big time, we might try to find a way to drag the other along. Just because we like each other so much.<br /><br />Thanks for asking!<br /><br />JennaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-74204618605572916092009-09-15T03:56:11.515-04:002009-09-15T03:56:11.515-04:00Hi Jenna...

I really liked your comment on commitm...Hi, Jenna,<br /><br />I really liked your comment on commitment. When you (I mean, "one", not you, Jenna!) is working on your own, you can come up with excuses. You can tell yourself that you'll leave that awkward scene in for the moment, even though you know it isn't quite right. You can goof off. But when you're partnering, you and your co-author have a commitment to one another, to do your very best. <br /><br />Actually I have a couple of questions:<br /><br />1) How did you get started co-authoring?<br />2) Do you ever get really pissed off at Jude? Or do you ever feel jealous?<br /><br />(I'll ask Jude question 2 tomorrow, too!)<br /><br />You're fortunate to have such a great collaboration, that's for sure.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />LisabetLisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-81641587538090905332009-09-14T22:22:53.770-04:002009-09-14T22:22:53.770-04:00Uh, no dear, I'm fine, YOU'RE the weird on...Uh, no dear, I'm fine, YOU'RE the weird one.

I am very glad. I recently (last week) read your TEB Untamed Hearts Series and enjoyed it very much. I will start the Kindred Spirits series next. I haven't read any of Jude's other books yet. I have read very few co-authored books, but have always enjoyed the ones that I have read. I never thought about it until today.Susilienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10823324819388247649noreply@blogger.com
