Looking forward to exploring other aspects of your writing. <BR/><BR/>Got to get me one of those books. If you can hook the reader this well with blog posts about your life, there's no telling what you can do within the broader confines of fiction.<BR/><BR/>So glad to make your virtual acquaintance.<BR/><BR/>Write on! I'll be reading.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10583449.post-1118129285033730182005-06-07T00:28:00.000-07:002005-06-07T00:28:00.000-07:00Hi Brandilyn,Wow, I got a mention in your blog! Co...Hi Brandilyn,<BR/><BR/>Wow, I got a mention in your blog! Cool. My husband was pretty excited to be mentioned too. As for his thoughts when he met you: aside from the killing people part, he thinks you're a rather nice person.<BR/><BR/>Of course, he's also met Dineen and thinks she's perfectly sane.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and remember we talked about which guy I thought Annie would end up with? Well, I finished "Dead of Night" last night (in the dead of night, LOL) and <I>my answer still stands.</I><BR/><BR/>As for suspense vs. women's fiction, I personally think it'll work out fine eventually. One thing I've learned about writing from reading your suspense books is that your characters are so incredibly rich, the plot is almost peripheral. There are suspenseful moments, and cliffhangers, but essentially these stories are all about Annie and how she changes. And isn't that just women's fiction with a little crime thrown in?<BR/><BR/>Sad the NES is ending,<BR/>CamyCamy Tanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14577747925320907186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10583449.post-1118123198116997022005-06-06T22:46:00.000-07:002005-06-06T22:46:00.000-07:00Is the blog ending too?

I don't comment much, but I read faithfully. Thank you for the delightful stories within a story within a story...hm, guess that's a plot with a couple of sub plots.

I found out late about your blog, and started at post one to catch up. It was worth it. I enjoyed every post.<BR/><BR/>Writing is a crazy career, one I've been trying to break into for years. Some days I wonder why!<BR/><BR/>For the book, its just something about getting that first book. Maybe once I feel it I can give up the urge to write.<BR/><BR/>NAH!<BR/><BR/>Thank you,<BR/><BR/>LaShaunda<BR/>sormag.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10583449.post-1118072092717242852005-06-06T08:34:00.000-07:002005-06-06T08:34:00.000-07:00Wow!

I, for one, am looking forward to your take on some of the other topics that have come up during this time. And I imagine you'll find a way to entertain and cliff hang and inspire along the way.<BR/><BR/>Gotta say, I'm excited about what you related regarding the Paige story. Like Linda, I'm not one for <B>scary</B> supense (as I'm sure I've mentioned once or twice before--hahah), but I enjoy and admire your writing.

Reading this NES blog has become part of my morning ritual: breakfast, blog, check-email, get dressed.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all the time you invested in writing it. As a new writer, I've learned so much from you. I will press on, stay "armed", and follow the call. May God continue to bless you, Brandy! I would love to meet you at Glorieta in October.
