When it comes to the background, I know the southwest best. Yes, it's an exciting area to write about, sometimes too exciting. Here on the border we could use a little less. This area used to be rather laid back and easy going. <br /><br />Funny thing happened with the frozen pipes repairs going on since that freeze a couple weeks back. Some plumbers discovered a stash of a million dollars or so in the wall near the broken pipe they were repairing. Talk about a story! :-) <br />*Hugs*<br />Jeanmarie aka Claire AdeleJeanmarie Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974232341270295299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-69804700407803880592011-02-18T16:04:55.321-06:002011-02-18T16:04:55.321-06:00Hi Jeanmarie, congrats on your latest release.

It's what you know best, so keep it up.

It astounds me how many sub-genres there are, about everything one can imagine.<br />Years ago, I read only Science Fiction--one book after the other. Couldn't get enough of the stuff. I stopped--I think I burned myself out.<br />But when I began writing, everything and everyone is a real person with their feet on the ground. In other words, ME!<br />My best friend in the whole world--for 35 years--is definitely a rebel. She tried her best to teach me how to be one--but gave up and accepted me like I am.<br />How have we ever been best friends when we're so different?<br />CeliaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-14391919637245977152011-02-18T13:19:24.389-06:002011-02-18T13:19:24.389-06:00Celia,

I can also break some romance book writing rules when writing werewolf stories, and being a rebel at heart, descended from a long line of rebels, ;-) I like to break a few rules. Makes the story more fun. :-)<br />*Hugs*<br />Jeanmarie aka Claire AdeleJeanmarie Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974232341270295299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-6945008447641289972011-02-18T11:58:48.028-06:002011-02-18T11:58:48.028-06:00Jeanmarie--Forgive me if I have a problem with wer...Jeanmarie--Forgive me if I have a problem with werewolves as lovers! Just me--I'm chicken from every direction, anything that seems scary--I shudder. I could never listen to ghost stories as a child, either. Such a baby. Same with vampires!<br /><br />However, this story sounds intriguing, and you know there is a big market out there for this kind of story. I have no doubt it'll sell very well.<br /><br />Years ago, I read a novel titled "The Ring." I had no idea what it was about, except it had to do with wolves in the northwest USA. By the time I finished reading it, I was sick to death, and that book has never left me. It<br />was about the real wolves, though, and poachers used a "ring" that had sharp metal protusion all around it. When wolf found one, it was something small--the details escape me--but he'd put it in his mouth and somehow it triggered it full open, and the thing was trapped in its throat. Of course, the wolf died a horrible death.<br />I used to fear and hate wolves--but this book made me see them differently, something to protect. <br />Very interesting about the Mexican Gray.

Jinger Heaston is the cover artist. <br /><br />They began the program to re-intruduce the Mexican gray wolf in the late 70's. It's been a slow process so they wouldn't overwhelm any animals. Even so, I've read that some ranchers have had problems with the wolves. However, the program continues.<br /><br />Thanks for joining my newsletter! <br />*Hugs*<br />JeanmarieJeanmarie Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974232341270295299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-2189159074649212212011-02-18T09:58:42.677-06:002011-02-18T09:58:42.677-06:00Jeanmarie, great post!
