It was a tiny town of less than 3,000 at the time.<br /><br />I wouldn't mind visiting the UK one too!

I think it was probably for the same reason as Austin. <br /><br />I think I met Sandra Hyatt when I was 'downunder' - and I was in Washington when she was told that her book had been accepted. I think she was floating 6 feet off the ground for the rest of the Conference. <br /><br />Must look for that film - Mr Butler is usually worth - er researching.

And the fact that your dad is out of hospital is great too.<br /> Writing apathy? Well perhpas it's the fact that the sun is shining and so no one wants to be inside ? There are some changes going on - inevitable I suppose in the economic climate and that will also be affecting the writing/book business.<br /><br />Hope you shake off that apathy soonKate Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17277223651288830541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-10468710822082043802010-06-22T18:48:53.229+01:002010-06-22T18:48:53.229+01:00Hi 'runner' now it's my turn to be je...Hi 'runner' now it's my turn to be jealous - I so want to read Anna's new book.

I think I's only about 70 something here and I'm thinking it's warm! <br /><br />Yes Lynn will be here tomorrow - today actually, seeing as that's when I'm writing this - and I have my copy of The Devil's Heart already on my TBR pile so that will make you even more jealous.<br /><br />Congratultions on the driving - I'm not the best driver either, so I understand but Dad's are worth it.Kate Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17277223651288830541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-82858332851714699272010-06-22T09:36:51.519+01:002010-06-22T09:36:51.519+01:00p.s - just wanted to say I like the bar "thin...p.s - just wanted to say I like the bar "thingy" at the top of your blog!

I have Austin the D...I don't have Sid the Cat. I have Austin the Dog. He's a golden retriever I'm dogsitting until the weekend. I love him to bits. He was trained as a seeing-eye-dog, but he failed because he was too friendly. He rarely barks -- unless you don't do what he has hinted that he'd like you to do. For example, if he needs to go out and you're choosing to ignore him, he'll bark twice in a row, pause, and repeat a few times. If he wants to go upstairs but his arthritic legs won't allow him to do this on his own, he'll bark. (BTW, he's a heavy cuss!) But he makes me smile. A. Lot. I love him to bits.<br /><br />So ... Austin makes me smile. The sun was shining all day. I've been enjoying Sandra Hyatt's first two books and am looking forward to her third release out this month. I rarely watch movies, but I DID enjoy The Ugly Truth with Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler. And as for trying to brighten your day, I was raised in a town called Brighton. Does that count?<br /><br />Have a good one and thanks for sharing.Laney4https://www.blogger.com/profile/06990122242183752771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-10766857745581511222010-06-21T22:56:37.427+01:002010-06-21T22:56:37.427+01:00The sunlight's been playing a game of hide and...The sunlight's been playing a game of hide and seek here lately, very annoying for someone who loves to read outdoors. But Wimbledon's started, which I love, and there is always Cristiano Renaldo's smile at the World Cup, definitely a bright spot to any day.Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02365036136540209176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-75165083522034103302010-06-21T21:04:47.645+01:002010-06-21T21:04:47.645+01:00Hi Kate!

Helped son move into his new flat; and then had to hot foot it across the Island to pick up my dad who's been in hospital for 2 weeks.<br /><br />Tomorrow I'm off work and intend to spend the day in the sunshine, fingers crossed. Then it's back to the wip. Is it me or is there writing apathy at the moment? I *just* can't motivate myself at the moment. Have a great day.

But you've definitely given me something to smile about, with your reference to The Devil's Heart - that's Lynn Raye Harris's new book, isn't it?? She's such a fantastic author, and I can't wait for tomorrow's blog post! I'm so jealous that The Devil's Heart is already available in the UK!!<br /><br />I'm also happy today because I got to spend time with my parents over the weekend! Yesterday was Father's Day here in the US, so I drove home to see my dad...I'm not the world's best driver, so I'm also happy because I made it there and back without any major debacles (I only went the wrong way once!). =)Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06057084975042699887noreply@blogger.com
