Thanks! I didn't know that Closer was a part of the series, and I'm not sure if it was released as a Blaze here in Sweden because I automatically get all Blaze books home and I haven't gotten that one :/ Anyways I ordered it online, though it's in English instead of Swedish - I just needed to have it! =P I realized today that you've written one of my favourite Blaze books; Sensual Secrets. I've reread that one at least five times - so I thank you for giving me so many times of fun with your books! I've read more of your books but that one and Relentless are my faves so far :) I hate hearing my own voice on tape, but as longs as I'm alone I think I can manage. Thanks for everything! Best Wishes, Maria (who's eagerly awaiting Closer to arrive) Hi Jo, I’m glad that you responded so fast and nicely! Thanks!

I appreciate it so much! And don't forget that the first book of the series is Closer..., although for some reason I still don't quite understand, it's not officially part of the In Too Deep series. I think taping yourself is a great idea. I know lots of writers who do that. If you can get past listening to your own voice (it's always so different than what we hear in our heads) then it's a very viable option. Again, thank you!

I'm really impressed with you all that can write that much on command - way to go! I never seem to be able to get into the writing mode even though I can have a ton of ideas. I've actually been thinking of just tapeing me telling the story and later see if I can write it down. ____________________________________________________________ So I found your page today Jo, and I had to because I just finished Relentless yesterday - and what a book - and had to find out if you had written about Nate and Seth as well, and you had! *yay!* I'm from Sweden so Harlequin takes abit longer to release the books here - and for some reason changes the covers as well *hmmm* I guess it's to make sure I'm still confused =P I started to read the book at 01.30 AM and finished at 04.45 AM - so I didn't get much sleep this, well, morning :) Thanks for a great reading experience! =) What a cool challenge!

If you can find those times when it works, then you're several steps ahead. I use my nighttime writing for my 2nd project. That way, if I do the work on the main book in the morning, then spend several hours doing life stuff, I feel pretty fresh to work on book 2. That is, when I'm not being a lazy bum!

No words, just music that in theory gets you to relax and focus. I have no idea if it's real or placebo, but then I don't care because it seems to be working. I say, whatever gets you through the page! Lis, I used to do a lot more with music soundtracks, but lately I’ve been putting on the Brainsync focus CD.

With the hot weather here, I expect to be writing for a couple more hours. When the house is quiet and the world is asleep, I find my creativity soars.

How nice to hear from you. And man, I envy you La Jolla. I used to go down there a lot, especially for the La Jolla theater. Hope you're having a wonderful time! Oh, and about that truck? That sounds like one hell of a tale! Glenice! How nice to hear from you. And man, I envy you La Jolla. I used to go down there a lot, especially for the La Jolla theater.
