Since you asked..

21707260.jpgI’d love to say that all my goodies are firm and perfect, but, the Gravity Fairy visits all of us, some more frequently than others, and she’s been living at my house for quite a while, if you must know.   However, if you’re not the Widow Bonnie after your hubby’s comments about the loose boobs, I wanna shake your hand.  His teeth would be loose after that!

Sheesh!  My hubby knows to say.. “Wow, hon, your hair looks great! Are you losing weight? Is that a new top?”  Pay no attention to that woman behind the curtain, she’s not pulling his strings. The all powerful, all knowing, Jennzilla holds all the cards (yes, the word cards does mean what you think)

The world isn’t perfect, our lives aren’t either.  That’s why people read. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I don’t want the characters to have the perfect life, in fact, I want their problems to be greater than my own.  This way I can say, “Wow, I’m lucky that I’m not HER!” 

I hope that my characters are at least realistic enough that a reader can empathize with them.  I think I did that in Braless, with Allie because I had people come up to me and tell me that they could see themselves in her situation.  I also had them say they wished they could see themselves a neighbor like Jake’s pants and they wanted to know why that hadn’t that happened yet? Studs like him don’t grow on trees, they have to be written, that’s why they call it fiction girls and boys. *grins*

Strangely enough, nobody said they wanted those neighbors.  I wonder why?  I mean, who wouldn’t love nosy women spying on you at all hours of the night?   They always turned up when Allie and Jake least expected it.. but then again, nobody expects the Neighborhood Inquisition.  *winks*

I’ve really enjoyed sparring with you Bonnie. I hope you’ve learned a little about my redneck of the woods. Though I will admit that I’m sort of stranger than your average hick.  What’s the difference between a redneck and a hick?  A pair of shoes and about twelve teeth from what I can tell. 

 

See ya at the coffee pot!

    LOL at that last joke. I haven’t really read anything out of the romance section, but your books look cool enough to check out. I think I will give one a look.

 Stephanie Laurens' Waiting for Thomas Newsletter, May 15, 2025.

 Getting swept away by a good story is one of life's greatest pleasures.

 Hello to you all, dear readers!
 
 I feel it has been some time since I sent a newsletter out. I do hope you are all doing well. I’ve been enjoying myself lately with a trip to Japan a few weeks ago. What an interesting and ancient culture.

Her love of adventure comes out in her books and will keep you guessing until the end. She also won EPIC's eBook Awards.

I’ve had the pleasure of speaking to the creator of contemporary romance novel, Sierra Falls by Martha O’Sullivan. She writes what she knows from beautiful Lake Tahoe. Each of her books; Second Chance, Chance Encounter, Last Chance, and Christmas in Tahoe were created with that lovely town in mind. She has a connection with it and her love of it shines in her tales. Please enjoy her interview.
