I had to chuckle because unlike your sweet Elizabeth who had trouble gaining, my Wyatt was nursing around the clock and had weighed 16 pounds at 2 months of age! My doctor said she felt she was examining a 6 month old:) Sadly, my weight went up along with his:) But that's another story!Laura Frantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067252948999879024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607797015497924515.post-54610932437875463622010-10-02T09:40:41.665-07:002010-10-02T09:40:41.665-07:00Oh Myrna, Coffee and a reading sounds divine:) Tha...Oh Myrna, Coffee and a reading sounds divine:) Thanks so much for reading and listening.

Your numbers are improving with your library ...Kav,<br />Your numbers are improving with your library wait! I remember it being some ghastly delay at first!! Well, it will be well worth it, let me tell you. I have N&S withdrawal:)<br /><br />I hope you like the cover. It's very different but I don't want to spoil the reveal so had better quit while I'm ahead:) Readers did get their blue gown. We're going to have a cover contest between Morrow's dress and Roxanna's. Will have to think of a good prize...<br /><br />Hoping your writing is going well and your laptop is behaving. Hey, we are kindred spirits. A little bird just told me that you write all your manuscripts out longhand like I do:) LOVE that!Laura Frantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067252948999879024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607797015497924515.post-15307720981361538752010-10-01T17:05:39.117-07:002010-10-01T17:05:39.117-07:00Michelle,

I've been to that very one! <br /><br />About that new cover...:) Would you believe this is the first cover that is INSIDE! You'll be intrigued by her surroundings though ( or so I hope). That is interesting you said that as I'd not given any thought to the outdoor setting of the first 2 covers. Roxanna is definitely indoors on this one. Another huge difference.<br /><br />My laptop came back to life this afternoon and good thing as I had a quick assignment from my editor. I've finished my major edits and now must read through the manuscript several times very thoroughly and address small issues. I so appreciate your prayers. <br /><br />Will be thinking about you as you go to Southland Sunday:)Laura Frantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067252948999879024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607797015497924515.post-5739357828279109992010-10-01T16:39:33.051-07:002010-10-01T16:39:33.051-07:00I wonder if writers are harder on their laptops? ...I wonder if writers are harder on their laptops? Do you think they type them into the ground? LOL. I'll be praying for you through your edits.<br /><br />I'm currently 25th on the hold list at the public library fro North & South. I can't wait!!!! <br /><br />I'll be excited to see your book cover. I seem to remember that it generated a lot of discussion on this blog a while back.Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607797015497924515.post-49474778469460627942010-10-01T16:28:41.205-07:002010-10-01T16:28:41.205-07:00Laura, I pray all is going well on your revisions,...Laura, I pray all is going well on your revisions, and that the laptop is behaving. <br /><br />I cannot wait to see the cover for The Colonel's Lady. I'm certain it's beautiful! I'm definitely hoping the Ohio is somewhere in the background. <br /><br />I'm thinking I'm going to be making a trip to Barnes and Noble next Friday. I'm really wanting to buy a copy of North and South. I'm hoping my mom will be able to order the DVD for Christmas, but I'm definitely going to read the book. I did find the free version for kindle, but most of my reading time comes while I'm working. So a nice paperback copy would be very nice. <br /><br />The excerpt is just lovely, I've bookmarked the site so I'm certain I'll listen to others too. <br /><br />Have a great weekend!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05847510545827506148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607797015497924515.post-14667194479830904822010-10-01T15:34:36.322-07:002010-10-01T15:34:36.322-07:00Oh Amanda, Bless u!

I've only read 2, I think. But I'm heading to look for the audio.<br /><br />Yes, I did read it while nursing. I used to read a book every 2 days with Elizabeth. She had weight problems so it seemed like I was on an around the clock feeding schedule. But I miss those days, too :). It all goes so fast :)Julia M.

The 2 audio books I found there were "Sylvester" and "Venetia" both by George Heyer. THEN, I also found that RA does the audio books for Robin Hood!!!

I am somewhat familiar with MS as my cousin (who is more like my sister) has it but hers is the most aggressive kind and she is in a wheelchair. There are many types of it. So thankful your mom has been in remission. Please let me know how she's feeling.<br /><br />I think you said you read N&S in your nursing days:) I logged quite a few books in mine, too! Two babies = 2 years of good books during feedings. Only I used to get so sleepy!Laura Frantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067252948999879024noreply@blogger.com
