Cissy - she wanted to know about your next paranormal
Cindy - Heather, PRivate Arrangements is Lillian's matchmaking business!
Heather - yes, please, PA infor...
Jayne - Private Arrangements is the name of Lillian's matchmaking agency. Major problems there as you'll see.
Rose - Hi,everyone!
BarbH - I would like to thank the powers that be for the storm to stop
kimb - Hi Jayne, I loved Soft Focus
Jayne - Please repeat Dixie's question
Dixiew - I was asking about anymore paranormal books like Gift of Fire
Cissy - Dixie, would you repost your question?
shy - Hi Everyone,
Jayne - Ah, got it, Dix, -- next paranormal is AFTER DARK (Sept.) Think psychic archeology.
BarbH - hi shy
Cissy - cindy, you're up next. YH will follow
mary - ?
Dixiew - Oh can't wait, thanks
Cindy - Hi, shy, knew you couldn't miss!
BANCROFT - Jayne, How come none of your stories list the wedding vow exchanges? That would certainly add more the the ending , maybe even personalized vows. With you writing it wow!!!!
geekk - hi everyone
Jayne - The really weird part about AFTER DARK, by the way, is the fact that the publisher is going to use my photo on the store display. I won't be able to show my face in any Waldens. How embarrassing!!!
BarbH - hi geek
Cissy - Bancroft, I'll put you in line for a question
Cindy - How did you get the inspiration for Winston? He's the greatest!
BarbH - Jayne you have a nice face
Cissy - Cindy, you're up next. YH will follow
Jayne - Cindy: I grew up with a dog like Winston.
Rose - When is your next comtemporary romance is going to be released?
Cissy - Rose, I'll put you in line. Everyone, tonight we're going to use a protocol so that everybody gets a chance to ask a question and so Jayne has time to answer without us all posting at once. To get in line to ask your question, type ? and I'll call on you in turn.
BarbH - I wonder if the Waldens' will let me get the picture after its done using it?
Heather - Winston's got me convinced I need a dog. Been searching the pound for a week now.
Jayne - Did I miss YH?

Cissy - Mary, you're up next. Bancroft will follow
mary - jayne, since AFTER DARK is a jayne castle, will it be on mt. st. helen's also?
Cel - Oh great Jayne
mary - er not mt. st. helens. but just st. helens.
Jayne - mary: No, AFTER DARK is set on yet another "curtain" world. I wanted to do another kind of paranormal thing, as you will see, so I needed a new world with new rules.
Marty - ?
Cel - Ann had to leave abruptly - thunder storm.
BarbH - she got our storm
Cissy - Bancroft, you're up next. Rose will follow

YH - Loving it! (reading as we speak)
Jayne - Go, Rose
Cel - Barb, Ann had to turn her puter off due to storms and didn't log out.
BANCROFT - HOw come none of your stories have wedding vow exchanges? That would certainly add more to the ending, personalized wedding vows, that only Jayne could write. q
kimb - I, too, think humor is very importa

Cissy - thanks, Dixie
Cissy - that's okay, Marty - I'll keep your place in line
Jayne - Rose: The next historical, SLIGHTLY SHADY, involves a couple of people who are hanging on to the fringes of polite society. They have a foot in both worlds which makes it easier for them to investigate crimes. The first story invovles murder and wax museums. Nice and creepy, I trust.
Dixiew - logged off. - 6/29 at 8:21pm EST
