Malena, when reading books, they are a great escape for me too! Especially with painful days, its great to have something to fall back on that can let us go into reading where we let go of the hard things and give ourselves a break! Eventhough I'm not reading outside of romance books right now, I know what writers do for us getting these books done so many of us thank you! Great to read your interview! I know nothing about the DaVinci and all. I haven't read any of that and not familiar with it, but I heard the book and movie was popular and hope you have great sales!Caffeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11830854922444380155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201492111840825361.post-74843060807504891792008-08-20T22:14:00.000-07:002008-08-20T22:14:00.000-07:00As a nail polish addict, I'm imagining merlot nails.Livianiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07104668004297634354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201492111840825361.post-90507453563383473152008-08-20T17:06:00.000-07:002008-08-20T17:06:00.000-07:00Hi Malena,<BR/>You know I can't wait to read your book!!

And there are two romances weaved into the book - one with da Vinci and one with another surprise! <BR/>Jane Porter calls hers "modern lit", which I like. I hadn't heard the Jess Riley "sicklit" comment. That's a crack up. I hung out with her at RWA San Fran this summer and she's adorable and so is her book. <BR/>And I could use a "spoonful of sugar" right now, but will just settle for some diet Coke, my usual afternoon pick me up.Malena Lotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17989944242640005848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201492111840825361.post-5133144012152117832008-08-20T12:43:00.001-07:002008-08-20T12:43:00.001-07:00I do so love your interviews!
