It's worth a whole vacation...<br /><br />Jemi--who could resist, right?<br /><br />Linda--it is SO COOL to hear from a Bombshell reader! How I loved that line!<br /><br />Shea--I agree, once you see it out here, you look at things a little differently.<br /><br />Sheree--the irrigation in the valley, you mean? Boy, does that make me cringe, too. Still, sometimes you can escape the allergies just because it's a different pollen, especially once you're out of the valley.<br /><br />Kyahgirl, you warm my heart! Connery wasn't even an egg when I wrote those stories, but his hound predecessors were in my heart, for sure.<br /><br />--DorannaDorannahttp://doranna.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-44857894103676148492011-02-02T13:05:41.526-07:002011-02-02T13:05:41.526-07:00Hi Doranna, I enjoyed reading about Sedona. I do...Hi Doranna, I enjoyed reading about Sedona. I don't see how any writer can resist the lure of putting what matters to them into their books. I really enjoy reading your dog and horse stories over at your Wordplay blog because you have such an amazing gift for characterizing animals in your stories. <br />I recently read the three 'Right Bitch' short stories and just loved those dogs! Somehow I could hear Connery Beagle snuffling in the background.<br />Anyway, I too already own The Reckoners so you don't need to put my in the hat. I'm eagerly anticipating my 'Storm of Reckoning' in the mail any day now.Kyahgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04496268340516243071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-84697036241430570552011-02-02T00:19:37.550-07:002011-02-02T00:19:37.550-07:00My college friends and I spend a weekend in Sedona...My college friends and I spend a weekend in Sedona a few years back. The place was amazing. All that red rock. I had previously thought of Arizona as my next place to move to in order to escape the allergies I have. However, all that irrigation had changed my mind. Too bad.<br /><br />ironss[at]gmail.comShereehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14205244523389110839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-79623225481014755392011-02-01T21:16:36.478-07:002011-02-01T21:16:36.478-07:00The Southwest has a beauty that few have experienc...The Southwest has a beauty that few have experienced and not come away changed.

You've always had a gift for making readers believe utterly in where they are and who they're with -- to tie that to places you yourself love is a bonus for all of us.<br />As I already have a copy of Reckoners -- and LOVE IT -- please don't enter me in your contest. I look forward to reading more, wherever you set it.Julie Czernedahttp://www.czerneda.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-18523322037108905372011-02-01T09:31:52.004-07:002011-02-01T09:31:52.004-07:00I recognize that country, Doranna! :) Of course, ...I recognize that country, Doranna! :) Of course, this morning it's under about a foot of fresh snow...and more on the way. :(<br /><br />I think my environment definitely influences my muse. It can be visual and aroma therapy for the soul. The scent of mountain pinon and rain on the dry, fragile grass. I sometimes find similar details seeping into my Science Fiction Romance settings and my characters' thoughts.<br /><br />Congratulations on your release! I absolutely LOVE your title.L. A.

I love it because I can put in the subtle smells and tastes of the desert, and it's different from the 'urban' settings one usually finds. I love how the imagery ties the story more firmly into a sort of reality.tyrcahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17150022167355075996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-65469189856980385162011-02-01T07:50:24.237-07:002011-02-01T07:50:24.237-07:00Through my couple of times in Sedona, I can imagin...Through my couple of times in Sedona, I can imagine that it has to be an absolutely fabulous backdrop for any type of book.Jane Kennedy Suttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519340747761460017noreply@blogger.com
