Friday’s Blog: Welcome regular RI visitor and writer, Lacey Kaye
***Happy Friday everyone, I’d like to welcome one of our first and regular visitors to RI, today. In today’s blog, Lacey tell us about herself, her first experiences with historical romance and why she writes romance with color. Enjoy 
On the Way to Not-Quite Published —By Lacey Kaye
Hi everyone! I’m a long time RI reader and first time guest blogger. My name is Lacey, which I think is a pretty good name. My mom said she got it out of a romance novel so that’s nice and appropriate. Of course, my mom also says my brother, Luke, was named after Luke Skywalker. My dad heartily refutes that statement. He says my brother was named after the Biblical disciple, and since my brother’s name is Luke Mathew I’m going to have to side with my dad on this one. Which is too bad because it calls in to question the origin of my own name–but hey, we can’t all get what we want.
Wow guys, I’m so thrilled to be here I don’t even know what to say next. Not that that should be a problem. Like most of you out there, I’ve never had any trouble sitting down in front of a blank piece of paper and pulling several hundred–or several thousand–words out of thin air. English papers? No problem. AP tests? Cake. Tech writing? Uh, well I kind of got screwed in that class. It’s a long story, but basically I missed one little bitty test and the guy held it over my head the entire semester.
Jerk.
Writing papers was the fun part of school–that and boys. Hmm…that sounds like a good way to begin a romance writing career, doesn’t it?
Well, I sure never thought so. Never even considered it. I probably could have, since I’ve always rather liked writing and I did read my first romance at the age of 14, which I know now actually makes me a late bloomer.
I still remember which one it was and who gave it to me. Captive, by Heather Graham, bestowed upon me by my then-boyfriend’s stepmom. I thought it was pretty good. (Lacey shrugs). A nice diversion from The Babysitter’s Club, but it didn’t strike a chord with me in the way the second book she gave me did: Judith McNaught’s Almost Heaven. Now that was a book! I remember laughing so hard–and in the middle of class, no less–and rereading passage after passage just to relieve that warm, fuzzy feeling. Sigh.
And it was Regency–set! I had always said I wanted to be Laura Ingalls, using an outhouse on the desolate prairie, but that was before I realized I could just as easily be an eighteen year-old debutante fending off the Season’s Most Notorious Rake. Ahh! I get excited just thinking about it. And so I was off–off into a world of balls and gowns and yes, the occasional knigh, copper-skinned Indian chief or desert sheik.
But write my own novel? You must be crazy. I needed MONEY. I needed HEALTH INSURANCE. I needed a 700-square foot Sex and the City- type flat. So I went off to school to be a rocket scientist. If you’re looking at me funny, I understand. Why I ever thought it would be easier to be a rocket scientist than a novelist is beyond me (not to say writing a novel isn’t incredibly difficult, but I didn’t know that at the time!). Eventually I did get my engineering degree (though not in aerospace–HELLO! That’s HARD!) and today I work at an aerospace company.
Mission Accomplished, right?
Uh, so not. Don’t get me wrong. I like my job. My job is pretty cool, the place I work is state-of-the-art, and the kinds of things that get me excited about coming to work at 6am are Company Proprietary. But it wouldn’t matter if I were building fighter jets. In my heart, I’m not an engineer. I’m a writer.
But I didn’t realize that at first. Sure, I was bored at work. But it’s work. It’s supposed to be boring. Almost by definition, even. I think most people, though, get bored out of their mind. I got bored into my mind. It only took nine months in the Real World to realize I should write a novel. In my head. While I was sitting in a boring meeting or doing a boring time study. But why stop there? By then I had discovered Julia Quinn (when I finally had enough spending money to stop relying on the library) and her website (my first realization that authors are people, too). I read her mini–plug for RWA and Nora Robert’s famous “I can correct bad writing but not a blank page” quote (which I am not quoting, because I’m lazy), and really, that was the true start of this whole thing.
First I joined the Eastside chapter of RWA. Next I joined the Avon board, which is how I found the Aspiring Romance Writers yahoogroup. Between those two forums I found my three online critique partners and this board–mighty convenient, this internet doo-hickie thing. Then all I needed was a few goals and about ten thousand hours of free time.
So I changed jobs. Ok, I’ll be honest here. I didn’t start out at an aerospace company–I started out at a package delivery company. It was the first job offered to me when I got out of school and hey, as long as I get paid I’m not that picky. The hours were hell but the drivers were great (where Great = Hot). I had cute shorts and a sturdy pair of boots. I had money and health insurance. I also had no free time, unless you count the twelve hours a day I spent constructing my plot in my head as I bounced down dirt roads and one-way streets in a jump seat just barely the size of my bottom. (Ever watched a package car take a tight turn at 55 mph with both doors open? That was me). I had always had this dream of being a rocket scientist, though, so when the opportunity came to leave the 60-hour weeks AND work at an aerospace company, I jumped on it. And that’s about how I usually do things in life.
Now, just barely over a year later, I’m ready to pitch my first novel, If You Asked the Devil to Dance, at Nationals in Atlanta. If you’re wondering whether or not I have an appointment the answer is no. But like everything else, I don’t let a little thing like that stop me!! I have business cards and a website, and should anyone be curious I have a blog that I update on Wednesdays. I even have a pitch prepared. Now all I have to do is convince someone my concept is sound because…far be it for me to take the easy way out and use a conventional plot.
OK, so I have no proof my plot is unconventional. But I think my idea is fresh enough and has enough different angles that an editor ought to be able to find something they like about it!
However, I’m not going to blog about my beta hero or his alpha hero problems today. (I have to hold something back or there’s no reason for them to extend the invitation, right?) I will explain why I decided to write Romance with Color (because Isabel asked nicely).
I’m Hispanic–well, that’s what it says on my Social Security form, at any rate. I don’t speak Spanish or anything useful like that. But I am from a very Latin culture and I grew up in a place where being white was the minority. So it’s little wonder that it took me about three seconds to realize there is very little color in today’s romance novels. Why is that? If you do your research (and I LOVE research), it’s not too hard to see there were so–called minorities during the Regency.
I’ve been babbling about my road to authorship so I don’t have a lot of space to go on and on about the lack of representation in romance novels, but suffice to say the very first romance novel I ever read, Captive, was about a white woman and a Seminole. But then after reading like, fifty million Regency-set Historicals I found I had to go back to Indian-themed novels if I wanted a dark hero–and I don’t mean a tortured hero–on the crisp white pages of my book.
Which is pretty funny, because as it turned out my first novel is about a young Indian woman and her tortured Regency hero. I didn’t mean to do that. I was just trying to use characters who could believably have come from Florida, and more specifically, my college town. But I do have plans to write several more manuscripts using all sorts of other ethnic characters, and soon I’ll be able to start doing that. My next WIP is tentatively titled, If You Asked an Angel to Love. According to my master schedule, production start is this August…oh wait, that’s my worky-side coming back to haunt me. Ick.
By now you probably figured out this “road map” is entirely out of order. Well, chronology is for sissies. Either that or my ADHD has taken over again! But I’m done and now I get to ask you guys questions: What kinds of things have you had to prioritize in order to get what you want? Are you single-minded when trying to achieve your goals? Confident? Hesitant?
Let’s go out there and make things happen!
~Lacey Kaye~
Fascinating story, Lacey. Question, is your WIP character driven or plot driven?
Isabel
June 30th, 2006 at 10:43 amWell, of course you know I think your work should be appealing to publishers because I love reading it! And I have to say that I love the entire concept of “romance with color”. My husband is of Mexican descent while I am a northern European mutt (my mother says we’re Heinz 57, LOL!), so I have my own personal version of romance with color in real life.
When I was still in my teens, I played around with a story line that involved a Californio hero and a heroine of European descent that would have been set in my home town (San Diego, California) in the mid-1800s. I might have to dust that idea off one of these days, but I’ve got an awful lot of English plot lines and characters that are pretty well-developed to explore first.
Anyway, I definitely enjoyed learning more about how you came to being not-quite-published, and look forward to the future entry on becoming actually-published, which I’m sure is on the horizon!
June 30th, 2006 at 11:06 amLacey Lacey Lacey. I’m terribly glad to hear that things are going well. While my own “published” writing debut is still far off in the future there are plenty of young people who enjoy to hear and read about my quirky tales. I hope things continue to go well and when you get published-because it’s only a matter of time- yours will be the first romance novel I ever read.
June 30th, 2006 at 11:58 amI wonder at how you haven’t taken over the world already! What’s next? Screenwriting? Directing? I’m sure once you set your mind to it you’ll conquer those too. Good luck with the pitch
(Kristen)
June 30th, 2006 at 12:13 pmLacey! It’s great to know you a little better.
You have a wonderful “voice” just from your post. I was LOL at certain parts. I can’t wait to read your published book. It will certainly be on my future TBB list.
Are you single-minded when trying to achieve your goals? I try to be…
Confident? I try to be…
Hesitant? I try not to be…
Let me explain…KIDS! *lol* I try to start or actually do start and try to finish so many things–such as my WIP–and life always seems to interrupt. Not that I’m blaming my kids, but they are certainly my top priority and I wouldn’t have it any other way. When my daughter starts school, I will have more time to myself to help me achieve my personal (writing) goals.
We’re so glad to have you guest blog here, Lacey, and hope you do it again real soon!
Andrea
June 30th, 2006 at 12:32 pmLet me explain…KIDS! * … When my daughter starts school, I will have more time to myself to help me achieve my personal (writing) goals.
When all three of my kids were not yet school-aged, I thought the same thing–once they’re in school, I will have more time! And it’s true, but only sort of.
People warned me and I didn’t believe it, but for me it has wound up being true–school-aged kids take up just as much of your time as younger ones, only in different ways. They have to be dropped off and picked up from school at certain times of day, which inevitably interrupts your muse. They need to be chaufferred to this or that event or to friend’s houses. They need you to help them with their homework or school projects. They need DISCIPLINE in a way that babies/toddlers and even preschoolers just don’t. And then there’s what to do with them during summer break (a dilemma I am currently living).
So, while they’re actually AT school, it can be great. It’s just that that winds up not being nearly as big a chunk of the day as I’d imagined. That five and a half hours just flies by (they’re in school for six, but when you factor in drop-off and pick-up, the parent loses a half an hour of that time!).
Okay, sorry, that was a total digression from the topic at hand. What were we talking about again?
June 30th, 2006 at 12:42 pmLOL Barbara!
And my daughter is only two (a terrible two, I might add) and won’t start for three more years. I’ll just keep pluggin’ away at my WIP when I can…or should I say, when they let me. *g*
I do have a son in school, however he’ll only be in first grade this fall, so I don’t have to drive him anywhere…yet.
Andrea
June 30th, 2006 at 1:01 pmFascinating story, Lacey. Question, is your WIP character driven or plot driven?
Yes, please, Isabel! Stroke my ego some more. It feels great
I’d have to say my wip is character-driven in the sense that I came up with Jonathan’s character first, and planned the entire story around him. But the story does have a small sub-plot or two. However, they ONLY serve to grow the h/h character arcs. There’s no great mystery involved because you pretty much know who the bad guy is right from the beginning. OTOH, if On the Way to the Wedding is considered the model for character-driven plots (where there is literally no sub-plot) then this isn’t that.
I might have to dust that idea off one of these days, but I’ve got an awful lot of English plot lines and characters that are pretty well-developed to explore first.
You sure do! I’m really looking forward to the end of your current wip (not to say I’m counting down the days until you quit emailing me chapters from this wip, ha!). We should do some kind of internet party
While my own “published” writing debut is still far off in the future there are plenty of young people who enjoy to hear and read about my quirky tales.
Not old people? hehe! Now I’m curious what you’re planning to publish!
I wonder at how you haven’t taken over the world already! What’s next? Screenwriting? Directing?
Muah ha ha ha that’s the plan…didn’t you notice the subliminal code embedded in my blog? That’s how I got you to laugh
Funny you should mention that, though, since my brother, Lee (and yes, all LMKs over here), contacted me last night to ask if I’d write the screen play for some project he’s doing. I assume with his roommate. I blogged about Stephen a few weeks ago, and his work to become an actor…Between the three of us I’m sure we CAN conquor the world!
Let me explain…KIDS! *lol* Not that I’m blaming my kids, but they are certainly my top priority and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
As you shouldn’t! That’s the thing about kids, though. Once you have them, you have to love them. Which is why I don’t have kids!
We’re so glad to have you guest blog here, Lacey, and hope you do it again real soon!
I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to be here (only because it’s impossible to hear me screeching) and of course, I would LOVE to come back! I told Isabel I thought of a ton of stuff to blog about when I was putting this together. Of course, I have my own blog, too. But is anyone surprised I tend to talk a lot in real life? It seems like I only get clammed up in Julia Quinn’s presence.
I’m thinking I should stop at Happy Hour before her booksigning tonight. Might help loosen up my tongue…
June 30th, 2006 at 1:20 pmI do have a son in school, however he’ll only be in first grade this fall, so I don’t have to drive him anywhere…yet.
If you live in a neighborhood where your kids can walk to school or ride a bus, you have a HUGE advantage. In my area, there are no sidewalks and we live about a half a mile away from the elementary school, so there is no way my kids are walking, especially since people drive the road between here and there like suicidal/homicidal maniacs.
When I had only one in school, a preschooler, and a baby, I thought life was pretty easy. Of course, I was only doing my job then, not doing my job AND trying to write a novel. So maybe it’s the book that’s making life hard! (Actually, I’m sure that’s true, but writing it has become an addiction of epic proportions.)
I’m really looking forward to the end of your current wip (not to say I’m counting down the days until you quit emailing me chapters from this wip, ha!). We should do some kind of internet party
LOL, Lacey, now I’m trying to figure out how to take this! Hurry up and start a new book because I’m bored with this one or Hurry up and finish this book because I want to read the whole story. Gosh, I hope it’s the latter!
June 30th, 2006 at 1:29 pmHurry up and finish this book because I want to read the whole story.
Definitely this one
June 30th, 2006 at 1:44 pmHurry up and finish this book because I want to read the whole story.
Definitely this one
Whew. Although I know you’re secretly chomping at the bit to get to Amelia’s story.
(Sorry, this is an in-joke. But Amelia is a bit of a villainess in my current WIP and also, well, to be frank, a slut–although I prefer to think of her as a female rake, LOL. I never really thought of her as a likely heroine but then in the last few weeks, she started whispering in my ear and begging for a story of her own. And a hero for her as well as a plot began forming.)
Like I said, way too many plot lines and characters to explore already!
But I’m all for an Internet party when I finish my current WIP. Maybe we can simultaneously crack our beers and toast our computer screens.
June 30th, 2006 at 2:00 pm…and I thought it was hard waiting for the next book in an established series, a la Nora Roberts. Now I know of all the ideas floating around in your fertile imaginations, goodies that lie in store for me — Ladies, please don’t keep me waiting too long. Best of luck to all of you soon-to-be-published talents.
June 30th, 2006 at 2:12 pmFun read, Lacey! I knew most of this story anyway, but your book sounds great. The whole Eastside Chapter is very proud of your accomplishments since you joined us last year. You’re a great addition to our group!
Shannon
June 30th, 2006 at 2:38 pmJust stopping by for a little bit, I’ll post the rest of my comments when I get home this evening
Welcome to all posting here at RI for the first time!
Isabel
June 30th, 2006 at 2:54 pmI can’t believe you have a start date on your next book! I’m so unworthy, LOL. I have plenty of ideas, but I really, really, for the love of God and all that is holy need to finish my current WIP, which as you know I keep fiddling whith and still haven’t surpassed the 60,000 or so word count mark!
I’m definitely confident, but also easily distracted because there is just so much to do. As Lacey knows, I am in the “kid” column in that I have two (5 and 20 months). My five-year old daughter has sensory integration dysfunction and so she requires a lot of additional stuff, including speech therapy and occupational therapy once a week. My writing schedule is never my own and I long for the day when it can be. I do expect a little more time when she starts kindergarten in the fall, but as Barbara said, you don’t get as much time as you think (my daughter has been in preschool the past three years and the time flies!!).
I definitely have priorities, but I’ve become more of a pantser in my real life as well as my writing life. So, flexibility is good!
Love RI and hope to post more in the future!
June 30th, 2006 at 3:40 pmDarcy
Lacey,
Your book sounds great. I’ll be keeping my eye open for an announcement about your sale!!! Work your casual meetings in Atlanta. One of mine in Reno led to my sale! And if all else fails, query Kensington. They like unusual settings and stories.
My second book (*fingers crossed* that my editor likes the proposal) stars a half-Turkish hero in Georgian England. It was fun to let him be a little dark (in every sense of the word *GRIN*).
June 30th, 2006 at 4:44 pmLacey, thanks a lot for blogging here at RI today. I think it’s great that you blog for us today since you’ve been a ‘regular’ for as long as I can remember. It’s great to get to know you better!
I think romance with color sounds like a great idea. I used to read a lot of Native American novels when I was younger, but I don’t see many of them anymore (possibly because I’m stuck with my nose in Regency.. but well..)
You seem to be doing awesome with your writing, and somehow you seem to be able to stay on track. That’s awe-inspiring
(I had writer’s block for 2 months before I finally kicked myself hard and finished my second MS *lol*)
Emily
June 30th, 2006 at 4:52 pmHi Kalen! I have to admit I’m really happy to hear you say that (not only about your hero, who sounds delish!) about Kensington. Because I literally was just emailing with Barbara and I said I thought my book might be better suited to Kensington (than Avon), too! It’s SO nice to think I might have a clue what this whole getting published thing is about
June 30th, 2006 at 5:09 pmAnd thanks for stopping by! You’ve just been outed by Barb (in a different email) and I have to say, I’m VERY honored that you came by!
Ah…Lacey, Lacey, Lacey…welcome to the wacky, convoluted world of trying to get published. I don’t think I’d ever heard the whole story on how you came to Eastside, but we’re so glad to have you there. Can’t wait to hear more about the next WiP, especially considering I’m so intrigued by the first!
June 30th, 2006 at 6:50 pmTGIF, ladies
I’m keeping my crossed for you as you make your pitch at Atlanta. Yours has been a such a cool story. I’d love to see your books in stores in the future. I read Jonathan’s story excerpt at your website and you left me wanting to know more.
As for answering some of the questions you asked, well I have to, just have to prioritize. Unlike many of you here today, I don’t have children (well I do have a cat and bird that demand much of my time) I do have a full time job. I’m sure I can come up with some kind of writing schedule if I just apply myself. Some will say now is the time to write the book before the children come right?
Am I confident that I can do write and travel the road to publication? Yes, I need to set some realistic goals tho’…
Hesitant? Uh, Well I’m little scared about not meeting expectectation, my own and others.
But I believe in the saying “If you can think it you can do it” (or something like that…) it’s the between the “thinking” and the “do it” part that I’m having a hard time right now.
Lacey ~ Thanks for guest blogging with us here at RI. Thanks for all your support as well.
To all of our other visitors out there please don’t be shy, ask us questions, leave your comments. We’re all here to learn from one another.
To all the visitors today, posting for the first time here, THANK YOU!
June 30th, 2006 at 7:31 pmShannon and Erin, a double thanks to you ladies! I’ve got both of you on my Favorites list now. (And Christina A, too!) I really do love blogs. And Eastside RWA–you guys are the greatest! (sniff)
Emmie, you’re an entire ms ahead of me. I think that’s pretty freakin’ fantastic!
Darc, I have no idea how you keep everything hanging together. You’re like superwoman, seriously. And you have some really cute kids–which is probably a good thing. Isn’t that to keep parents from leaving their kids in trees?
Isabel, you’ve busted me on my excerpt and my website! I really need to pay someone to put that beast together. I am obviously completely inept at web design. (Hey, I do have ONE fault! Oh, and vanity, apparently…)
Well, I’m off to meet Julia Quinn now but I’ll check back here later on. (If I’ve already met her once, but she doesn’t remember that, then what is it called? Re-meeting? There really ought to be a word for that. There really should.)
OK, enough parodying OTWTTW. I want to thank everyone who took the time to come over to RI today and check out my story. You are the readers who make sitting down at the computer really entertaining (since it means the voices in my head have people to talk to)! But for any latecomers, definitely ask questions and feel free to post. It’s a long weekend & I’ll be here.
I always am!
June 30th, 2006 at 8:19 pmOh no, I’m sorry, Lacey
As for your website, at least you put one together on your own…I can barely post comments and blogs. But I have friend who has help me out a lot on these things 
I still think the excerpt rocks
Eastside RWA ladies, welcome to RI.
Isabel
June 30th, 2006 at 8:37 pm**Totally off-topic**
Darcy, my kids are 6 and 2 and my son has SID and is on the autistic spectrum and needs speech therapy and OT as well, so I know exactly how much extra parenting that involves. He went to preschool for two years, but in Kindergarten we noticed a significant improvement! I wish the best to you and your little one!
Andrea
June 30th, 2006 at 9:07 pmOK! SO I just went and saw JQ. Again. Yes, I can just hear Erum’s voice in my mind…”What is a word for re-meeting? Stalking, duh.” I think that’s what she said about my obsession with Cillian Murphy, too.
Anyway, she was WONDERFUL! She totally remembered me (VERY specifically, I might add) and made it very easy for me to talk to her. And the signing was great AND she let me help her (I’m not sure let is the right word) sign the stock–yes, I was the sticker gal. So anyone who buys their OTWTTW in Redmond: I touched your book! Mnah.
I could probably write an entire blog about how cool this was, but I won’t.
http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/7425/laceyandjuliaquinn8mx.jpg
June 30th, 2006 at 10:38 pmWow, cool, Lacey, that’s a good picture too. Too bad I don’t live anywhere near Redmond to get my own signed copy of OTWTTW
Isabel
June 30th, 2006 at 10:55 pmLacey, it sounds like you had a blast tonight with Julia! She is fabulous, I must agree.
I loved your story of your writing career so far. As someone said earlier, your voice is hilarious! With such a fun voice and your unique take on Regency-set historicals, I can’t imagine that it will take you long to get published.
Now, to answer your questions:
What kind of things have you had to prioritize in order to get what you want? Well, like Andrea, I have to make my kids my priority right now. That means that everyday I have to choose whether to spend time with them, or let them fend for themselves in front of a video while I try to write. Usually I spend time with them or do other things like pay bills (ugh!) and my writing time gets shoved to the end of the day when the kids are in bed. I rarely watch TV (during the season, though, you’ll find me watching LOST every Wednesday!), I don’t see my friends nearly enough, and my husband complains about not enough couple time. So to answer your question, to get what I want (which is a career as a romance writer) I prioritize as follows: kids first, writing second, everything else third.
Single-minded? Usually.
Confident? I try to be, but I do tend to be a chicken when it comes to sharing my writing with people who know me.
Hesitant? Nope.
See you in Atlanta!
June 30th, 2006 at 11:47 pmAnd thank you so much, Kelli, for telling me about her appearance. I would have definitely missed that otherwise!
Sounds like you have your priorities straight
Oh, and I’ve seen your kid, too, and he’s definitely another one of those adorable ones!
There’s just something about little baby boys (and no, I’m NOT getting any ideas!).
July 1st, 2006 at 12:17 amDude, today has been the craziest day. After everything else, my boyfriend and I were just watching Animal Planet and whatever random show was on when we turned on the tv, it was profiling my middle school (which has a zoo magnet program). How weird is that?!
July 1st, 2006 at 1:06 amLacey, great picture!! Glad you had a good time, sticker gal!
Where’d you get that awesome shirt?
Andrea
July 1st, 2006 at 8:20 amOH! I meant to thank Krista again for the shirt. She gave it to me so we can wear them together on the plane to Atlanta!
It’s from a popular site called http://www.cafepress.com . Then search Jane Austen, at least if you want this shirt to come up. I went there and there were just SO many cute shirts I couldn’t make up my mind which other ones to get!
July 1st, 2006 at 9:57 amThanks Lacey!
I’m off to check it out…
Andrea
July 1st, 2006 at 11:20 am**Continuing to be off-topic**
I’m starting to wonder if there’s something about having a child in speech and occupational therapy that drives women to write romance novels. Because my daughter (she’ll be 7 later this month) is also “special needs” although she’s neither autism spectrum nor SID–she has motor planning and speech/auditory processing issues, but why is still sort of a mystery. The good news is that she did very well in first grade this past year (kindergarten was a little rough) and is reading well above grade level, which pleases me enormously, and her OT has been backed off from once a week to twice a month for next year because she’s improved so much.
So I guess the good news is, this stuff really works!
But it is kind of weird that three of us have OT/ST kids and all of them are around the same age. Kismet?
July 1st, 2006 at 12:04 pmMore Off Topic!!
Darcy
Barbara and Andrea W - let’s chat! Email me at darcb@comcast.net. I’d love to talk more about our kids! Have you heard of the Tomatis Listening Program? We had HUGE success with that. I can tell you more about it offline. Wow, so many things bring us all together. Isn’t life grand?
Who is VERY jealous of Lacey’s stickering duties!
July 1st, 2006 at 9:44 pmLacey -
I’m a little late to the party, but what a fascinating blog! It’s certaintly inspired so many comments.
I don’t have any questions - there have been so many covered above - but I thought I’d say hello and let you know that your WIP sounds very interesting. Fingers crossed!
July 2nd, 2006 at 7:15 am
