Just sticking my head back in for a moment to let you all know I've been informed by my publisher there will be a slight delay on the release of The Legacy because of a fire at the printing plant. The original release date was April 1st, a joyously funny date that left itself open to all sorts of humorous byplay. The distributor will now start shipping the books after April 4th, which is a decidedly unfunny day. However, if you want to know what other interesting things happened on that date in history, go here: http://www.infoplease.com/dayinhistory/April-4.<BR/><BR/>TJBTJ Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08724851315229357354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-78543079177989837332008-03-31T12:00:00.000-05:002008-03-31T12:00:00.000-05:00THIS is why I'm publishing under an assumed name. ...THIS is why I'm publishing under an assumed name.

He's done proofing for me and he's brilliant at helping me with research, but he has no interest in sitting down to read my stuff cover to cover. Fine with me. When someone asks him about the s-e-x, he gets that little boy grin and just shrugs. Makes them laugh and leaves them wondering. :)Tracy Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324834317261795076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-40790109914471254232008-03-30T21:13:00.000-05:002008-03-30T21:13:00.000-05:00Congratulations TJ on the release.My dh is writing...Congratulations TJ on the release.<BR/><BR/>My dh is writing his own novel.

I was lucky enough to have some input on my cover--I suggested the garden and rebirth theme (among others) to Medallion Press' art department, and they ran with it. Turned out nice, eh?<BR/><BR/>Catslady, there is definitely humor in everything I write, although I don't write "funny" per se. I THINK funny, however; well, more sarcastic and witty and darkly droll most of the time, and it shows up in my work. I could find humor in a funeral, I'm afraid, and am constantly scolding my subconscious for its inappropriate behavior. :-)TJ Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08724851315229357354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-25365536921639383462008-03-29T21:41:00.000-05:002008-03-29T21:41:00.000-05:00Well historicals have always been my favorite - I ...Well historicals have always been my favorite - I hope some of your wonderful humor shows itself :) You're hubby is just a little bit late to ask questions now roflmao.catsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-67463922869719795322008-03-29T20:00:00.000-05:002008-03-29T20:00:00.000-05:00congrats on your release, loved the cover .

My husband has never read any of my work and that's probably a good thing since I'm sure he'd have to over-analyze where exactly the love scenes came from. I hadn't realized he'd told several of his friends that I write romance until he got a call one evening from a guy friend who wanted him to ask me where he should go to find the best selection of sex toys in Houston...me being a romance writer and all. Needless to say his logic baffled me. Still, I couldn't allow my husband to lose face so I mentioned a couple of places I knew of (who can miss the big sign on the West Loop at the Galleria?) and hoped they were still in business. A week later I got a thank you email from the guy's wife along with a request for a list of my favorite "steamy" romances. I sent the list and was grateful nobody felt compelled to discuss the shopping trip with me.Lark Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13363455770588651569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-23099813135133060622008-03-29T15:33:00.000-05:002008-03-29T15:33:00.000-05:00Enjoyed your fun post.

My last post had yet another typo in it (and yes, I realize it was "eggshells" earlier, not "eggshelves" but Blogspot won't allow editing, just deleting). So, here is the grammatically correct version of my last comment:<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Jenyfer. If I survive his post-reading experience, I'll let you know. Robena, I had to laugh at the "cock o'the walk" image. Keri, husbands are funny about romances. There is a difference between "sex" and "intimacy" and I'm convinced that is why they may be more comfortable reading Playboy than a romance. Romances feel too ... personal somehow, and it makes them feel like voyeurs. We women know better, though, don't we? *wink*<BR/><BR/>Beth, I sympathize with you! I'd hate to think all my friends were imagining me ... that way ... okay, now I have something else to worry about.

When my best friend read it she said she kept picturing ME having the sex and it freaked her out. I had to insist it wasn't ME it was the character.
