RobinH - I am so excited to be here! You may not know it, but you are the wonderful lady who introduced me into the world of romance! First book I had read since high school was "Seduction". My ? is, are you planning to write any more medieval books or was the one ("Desire" I think?) it? AND, do you have a favorite male character (either from a book you wrote or someone else wrote?) Loved The Wicked Widow by the way, the humor in it is PRIMO!!!
Jayne - Okay, back to Marty: As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, thanks for the invite to TN. I will be touring in January and I'll be sure to ask the publicity folks (who make these decisions) to consider TN!
IrisB - logged on. - 6/29 at 8:28pm EST
RobinH - OH OH, I didn't hit nuthin! It did it on its own.....sorry
LindaL - Can't remember which ones, that was probably 300 books ago, but they are probably at my mothers
Cissy - LOL, Robin - wait your turn!
Cissy - Lisa, you're up next. Barb will follow.
RobinH - I was, really.
BarbH - (praying please come to Detroit)
BarbH - bad robin
Cissy - I know, Robin
Marty - Robin, it happened to me, too.
IrisB - I got in. I love your work, thank you for so many lovely evenings reading your stories.
RobinH - (If you can't be good, be good at it....LOL, thats my motto!!!)
Lisa41 - I just want to say I love all your books, and thanks for all the smiles.
Morgan - ????
excalibur28 -
Lisa41 - also consider coming to Evansville Indiana
Cissy - Morgan, you're in line behind Barg
Jayne - Lisa: Thanks and I'm so glad you enjoy the humor -- not everyone gets my little jokes, you know. I value the readers who do more than I can say. I figure that if we laugh at the same things, we'd probably be instant friends if we met.
danna_pa - ???
YH - and I'm praying that Jayne will make a trip up north east, and come to Toronto...
(so I can dream)
Lisa41 - I agree
Cissy - Barb, you're up next. Morgan will follow

Cissy - I have you in line, danna - did you want a spot for a 2nd question?
BarbH - is there going to be anything posted on the website about the conference in Bowling Green, Oh?
IrisB - Jayne I vacationed in Seattle because of your stories.. Loved it there. Thank you.
CherylCos - Will "After Dark" be part of a trilogy like your other "curtian" books?
BarbH - Seattle is beautiful went there in May
danna_pa - yes please
IrisB - Will you be coming to Miami soon???
Lore - logged off. - 6/29 at 8:33pm EST
BarbH - I want to go back
danna_pa - i was afraid i'd forget to do it later lol
Cissy - Everyone, please remember - 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.
CherylCos - sorry Cissy my question was just waiting and included itself
LindaL - hey..I'm not even going to ask about coming to Shreveport, no one does....how about dallas?
karen - ...and if you
Jayne - Good question, BARB: Yep, we need to get something up on the web site. I was just emailing some of the details to Cissy before we started the chat but I didn't get it finished. We'll get to it, don't worry. Looking forward to seeing you there.
Cissy - Yup, it happens, Cheryl
Serenbook1 - Jayne--I really enjoyed ECLIPSE BAY, and your other books. Do you have a favorite of your own books? <GA>
Cissy - Morgan, you're up next. Robin will follow
BarbH - I want to see you there, Cissy can you email me the info too/
Serenbook1 - sorry...I accidentally hit the button
Cissy - Serenbook, I have you in line
karen - Aughh. Auto post here!!! If you're coming east, remember Long Island New York. We
Morgan - Jayne, oyu're books are incredible.. I would like to know how long it takes to work a character inyour mind, before they come to life on the page.?Ga
IrisB - ??
kimb has timed out.
RobinH - (Caution, if you pre type your question, it will pop up on its own!!)
BANCROFT - cissy, what about me? I cannot retrieve any messages from you
Cissy - lol, Robin
Cissy - you're in line too, Bancroft
Lisa41 - logged off. - 6/29 at 8:35pm EST
Jayne - Morgan -- actually characters don't really come to life for me until I start writing. None of the thinking and planning and outlining ahead of time brings them to life. I have to just plunge in and bring them to life on the page. It's a strange process. Can't really explain it.
Cissy - Robin, you're up next. Clyde will follow (if he's still here)
Lisa41 - logged off. - 6/29 at 8:36pm EST

My ? is, are you planning to write any more medieval books or was the one ("Desire" I think?) it? AND, do you have a favorite male character (either from a book you wrote or someone else wrote?) Loved The Wicked Widow by the way, the humor in it is PRIMO!!!
Cissy - Jayne, just an observation, but I think that's because your characters live in their dialogue
Janeequa - ?
RobinH - (They also LEAP off the pages at us Cissy! )
SusanC -
SusanC -
Cissy - don't they tho?
excalibur28 - that's very true, Cissy
Jayne - Robin: No medievals in store for the nonce (whatever that means) but as far as favorite male characters, I'm rather fond of Winston (although I'm not sure he counts because Hannah had him neutered.
Cissy - Susan are you updating or would you like in line for a question?
Defenbaker - cute
Heather has timed out.
Cissy - lol, poor Winston
Rose - I'm afraid I have to leave,but before I go thanks again,Jayne, so much for your wonderful and humorous stories that you have written! Keep up the wonderful work that you're doing for this wedbsight Cissy!
Cissy - if Clyde's still with us, he's next. Otherwise, CherylCos has the floor
RobinH - Oh he counts alright.....LOL
BANCROFT - poor, Winston...lol
Jayne - Cissy, you may be right about the dialogue being the key for me. Good observation. But, only to be expected from such an insightful academic as yourself!
BarbH - I think thats what got me hooked the first time I read Jayne, I wish I knew then about her other names that I do now
Jayne - By, Rose. Thanks for showing up.
Rose - logged off. - 6/29 at 8:39pm EST
CherylCos - Jayne, will After Dark be part of a trilogy like the other "curtian" books?
Cissy - thanks, Rose
RobinH - I agree, Cissy is Tops!
2 Sues - Good for Hanna by the way,
Cissy - true, Sue
RobinH - ?
Jayne - CherylCos: AFTER DARK was meant to be the launch of a new series, but I'm afraid the sequels will be a tad erratic as I can only do them when I have some free time in my schedule. I suspect that whether or not there are any more will depend on the reaction to the first one. Then the publisher and I can evaluate.

Cissy - excalibur, we're not putting any more in line right now. Let's see how long it takes us to finish who we have
RobinH - .
Jayne - Marty: Frank and I just celebrated our 29th! Congrats on your 24. Way to go!
RobinH - .
Janeequa - Since your characters come to life as you write -- they're all brilliant, sexy and facinating by the way -- how do you handle research?
RobinH - .
JanS - Hi Barb and all
Cissy - Janeequa, you're up next. YH will follow
Marty - We both are sure lucky!!
YH - Do you research the paranormal? (the abilities the characters have ) or are they just straight from your imagination?
Jayne - Janeequa: I do lots of research on the background (art, mystery, whatever) but the characters all come straight out of my head.
YH - oops.. my connection suddenly got fast for that one...
Janeequa - My question's there already. See it?
excalibur28 - not a problem. my system 'burped'
Cissy - Yup, you were on the ball, Janeequa
Jayne - YH: I sort of invent the paranormal stuff.
Robin -
knit 1, purl 2 - 6/29 at 9:00pm EST
Janeequa - Jayne, your writing is superb. I'm in LA and lucky to be going to see Oprah tonight, so I've got to run. Thanks for the awesome reading! Bye all.
Robin - hi everyone
Cissy - Robin, you're up next. I will follow
shy - Hi Robin
RobinH - Pseudonyms...Yes or No? I am hoping to get published and don't want to shock my muther......LOL
shy - Bye Janeequa
Janeequa - logged off. - 6/29 at 9:01pm EST
Cissy - RobinH, that is
BarbH - hi robin
Dar_doo - Mrs. Krentz I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for sharing your great stories with all of us.
JanS - Jayne,I enjoyed Eclipse Bay and wondered how much time a day do you spend actually writing-any advice for would-be writers?
tatsrus - logged on - 6/29 at 9:02pm EST
Jayne - Robin: I don't really recommend pen names but I certainly have enough of them so who am I to talk! I'd say use them if you want but don't think that having one will keep your mom from finding out what you're writing. Moms know stuff like that.
BarbH - Ill be back here later
RobinH -
thanx!
BarbH - talk to you guys later
Cissy - Cheryl, you'll follow my question.
Cissy - Jayne's you said you're working on Gabe & Lillian's story right now. Anything you care to share with us about how they're doing?
Failing that, how about a sneak peek at the couple in AFTER DARK?
Ginger - LOL Jayne spoken like a true Mom!
tatsrus - hi everyone
Morgan - Jayne, that is so true, I let my mom read what i have so far, and i think i shocked her!!!! No, i KNOW i did. LOL.
RobinH - (go Cissy, go! you ask the good ones!)
Cissy - good going, Morgan!
joand - logged on. - 6/29 at 9:03pm EST
shy - Hi Tatsrus
LindaL - as much as I love jaynes work, I can't wait for Morgan's book to come out!
Morgan - it WAS fun, cissy, It is a rare day that i can shock my mother. Not after raising us kids. LOL.
Recyndra - logged on - 6/29 at 9:04pm EST
Jayne - Cissy: I'm sorting out some major problems in Gabe's and Lillian's story so I don't think this is a good time to give you a peek. However, I can tell you that there is a great pet in AFTER DARK: He's named Fuzz and he and the hero have something in common: You don't have to worry until you see their teeth and by then, of course, it's too late.
Morgan - Bless you linda! Thanks.
shy - Hi Recyndra
Cissy - LOL, Jayne... can't wait
Cissy - Cheryl, you're up next. Clyde will follow
LindaL - keep me posted...I love to read

Cissy - Jayne, thanks so much for taking time to answer questions tonight.
joand - jayne, I work in stain glass and have wondered, after reading earlier books, do you have a love of glass?
Jayne - Well, I hear Frank and food calling (an unbeatable combination). I want to thank you all for a wonderful chat. I had a terrific time and I thank you all again for coming.
Wendy S - Thanks Jayne!
Cel - I have to leave, but wanted to say thank you for chatting with us Jayne and all the many, many hours of wonderful reading. Hope to see you at another book signing so I can get the rest of your books autographed. I mean the 50-60 you signed for me the last time in Mountain View, CA was all I felt I could ask of you.
