You are all so good for my ego, and in the acknowledgments I thanked my daughter for the best line in the book, about the bald men. I adore her sense of humor. <br /><br />Email me anytime at jillbarnett@msn.comJill Barnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08579745760414077119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-90407187492133314042010-06-15T12:37:50.758-04:002010-06-15T12:37:50.758-04:00I know I've read Bewitching because I remember...I know I've read Bewitching because I remember that epilogue, Janga, and you're right - it is a good one. I'll have to go search out Dreaming.<br /><br />Condolences on your lost, Jill. What a lovely letter for you to post for those anxiously awaiting your new work.

You're holding back way too much. :)<br /><br />I have a few Jill Barnett books on my shelves and for some reason have never read them. I've had them for years. Guess what I will be reading before the summer is out? LOL!<br /><br />We would love to have her on the ship.

I loved...My nickname--Hellion--comes from Dreaming. I loved Richard and Letty so much, loved that he called her hellion--I thought it was the sweetest endearment (*LOL*). DREAMING came out in 1994--when I was in early college--soon after that book, we all got internet addresses, and I picked "franthehellion" at whatever mail place I had going on. Eventually I dropped the first part, being I can't stand my name so much. <br /><br />Anyway...people just think someone else named me Hellion--and really I just named myself; and people think it fits because I'm a smartass, but it's not. It's because I identify so much with Letty. <br /><br />Oh, and another thing Letty and I have in common: we both always wanted Titian colored hair. *LOL* Not brown. *LOL*<br /><br />Okay, back to the Jill Barnett screaming and rejoicing!!! I am so excited. I told Jackie and she's excited too.Hellie Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933713255844695337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-91667545368018283972010-06-10T12:11:55.616-04:002010-06-10T12:11:55.616-04:00Oh, BEWITCHING and DREAMING are my favorites, too....Oh, BEWITCHING and DREAMING are my favorites, too.

The ladies were sewing in the tower, and they were talking about hair color and what the church says about hair color influencing a woman's personality because hair, they say, grew directly from the brain.<br /><br />And the youngest girl of the group spoke up and said, "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Everyone knows if hair grew directly from the brain, all men would be bald."Hellie Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933713255844695337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-53793273468603759582010-06-10T10:22:59.349-04:002010-06-10T10:22:59.349-04:00*happy joyous scream* The MINUTE her books hit the...*happy joyous scream* The MINUTE her books hit the store I will buying them; and if by some miracle she is even remotely willing to blog, I would love to have her on the Revenge to talk about her new books. I am so, so, so happy to be wrong and find out she was still writing...and that this was all publishing house problems (which always distresses me to hear about--what a nightmare! It's a wonder any writer ever gets published!)<br /><br />I have to send this blog off to my friend, Jackie. She and I were such huge fans of Jill's--I know she'll be thrilled there are more books to come. <br /><br />I'm feeling very nostalgic for some Jill books now. I think I'll have to re-read them all. I did love Bewitching--and I think it might have been Jackie's favorite--but mostly because I love Maclean. *LOL* She was a cool witch. And it was a fun and romantic book. That was what I most adored about Jill's books. They were just SO ROMANTIC. Sexy, but in a ROMANTIC way, which isn't always the case anymore. Yes, I'm definitely going to have to do some re-reading soon.<br /><br />DREAMING is my favorite--because Richard is such a flawed hero; and Letty is SO heartbreaking. When he does his stunt to show her that saying "I love you" is just words, anyone can say them--and she tells him about her mother and that she's never said the words without meaning them, I just CRY. Those characters couldn't be more real than if they were having dinner with me. <br /><br />WONDERFUL is probably my next favorite because I love the fact she makes mead--and it keeps influencing the men who drink it. *LOL* That's the other thing about Jill's books. They're ROMANTIC, but they're always MAGICAL too. <br /><br />Oh, I can't wait. This is better than Christmas. Something brilliant to look forward to. Thank you, thank you, Janga and Jill!Hellie Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933713255844695337noreply@blogger.com
