Does that make sense? I don't want to start copying.<br />I just recently read (well, it's been a while) but Karen Witemeyer's most recent book, Short Straw Bride. It is so fantastic. Just about the perfect book honestly. I loved every word. I am so envious of how talented she is. And Margaret Brownley just does such great work. And I've just read the novella's Robin Lee Hatcher and Debra Clopton, besides Margaret Brownley, have in my novella Collection A bride For All Seasons. I loved doing that book with them. And their books are great. So I do read in my genre. But some of what they write is just truly inspiring and the situations they create are so fantastic. I find myself wanting to jump off their ideas. Play 'What If' with their ideas. And I don't know how far I can take that. I don't know at what point I'm just being a big old copy cat, you know?<br />So I am pretty careful about what I read.<br />But if I'm reading a regency romance, well, sometimes the mood or even the characters spark an idea, but whatever that leads to is going to be so different when I slap a Stetson on it, that it becomes completely mine.Mary Connealyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09598386111251769803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125367606156990763.post-26202674166291135352013-09-11T07:36:44.142-07:002013-09-11T07:36:44.142-07:00I found it interesting that Mary loves to read a d...I found it interesting that Mary loves to read a different genre than she writes.

I only have two of her books and would love to win and will then have 3. I also came from a large family and until now can't imagine having a family where there is only 3 siblings.` You see my family also had 8 siblings. It was great. We lived in a small TX. town and most times in the country. Where all classes were in the one school. Even the one in town still had all 12 grades. We didn't get to ride the bus Mary, tho it seemed a very long walk. Now there is only myself and 2 brothers. <br /> But, moved to OK. to another small town when I was in 7th grade, so what long time friends I have are from there. In the late 40's and early 50's. Please put my name in the drawing hat Casey.

I'm really looking forward to reading Fired Up. I told my daughter that's what I want for my birthday next month. It's fun Mary mentioned Melanie's books. My daughter and I have read all her books. I buy them for my daughter's birthday or Christmas (depending on when they are released). I raved about The Merchant's Daughter to my book club, so that is the book we are discussing in a couple of weeks. We have also read one or two of Mary's books for book club.<br />Thanks for the interview with Mary and the chance to win a copy of Fired Up (if I won, my daughter could get me another book on my extensive wish list of books).<br />I'm a follower and a subscriber.<br /><br />pmk56[at]sbcglobal[dot]netPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05861727608969499537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125367606156990763.post-47442294176692883522013-09-09T14:37:12.702-07:002013-09-09T14:37:12.702-07:00Oops!!
