All of them are so fleshed out that it's little wonder they begin to feel like real people to your readers. I am so thrilled I discovered this series while looking for books to load my Kindle with and I can't wait to unwrap your new series - I say "unwrap" because a new book by you is like a present - fun and exciting.Springhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10561908910982758194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-7761785339158928322008-04-28T14:04:00.000-05:002008-04-28T14:04:00.000-05:00Mega congrats, Gemma!

One challenge for me has been to keep the characters feeling fresh and new in each subsequent book. While I’ve had a good time with this so far, I did want Maddie to get her happy ending before she started feeling stale to anyone. Hopefully this last book is achieving that, and if I really need a Maddie fix in the future, well, there’s always the chance she’ll show up at the <I>Informer</I> in the new series. ;)<BR/><BR/>~GemmaGemma Hallidayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04677167276575234867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-83752497103858978032008-04-26T11:06:00.000-05:002008-04-26T11:06:00.000-05:00I’m so glad you all are enjoying the books!

It’s still in development with the USA network, but has been severely delayed because of the Writer’s Guild Strike. So, yes, still a chance of seeing Maddie, Ramirez and Felix on the small screen, but probably not this season.

Yeah, Ramirez has that hot latin hero-hunk thing down pat with his beefy muscles, panther tatoo, mumbling in Spanish, excellent "skills"...<BR/>What were we talking about? Oh yeah, Felix vs. Ramirez, I kinda think Felix sounds cute with his British accent, rumpled cloths, unconcerned about his wealth and title and his confession of love for Maddie. I am looking forward to more of him. I hope you give him a real unconventional lady of his own.<BR/>Oh and tell us more about the TV series... true/not true?Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719680912770877740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-71102041053749844512008-04-25T15:37:00.000-05:002008-04-25T15:37:00.000-05:00Hi Gemma.

I'm sure that I'll love your new ones too though.<BR/><BR/>I'm the opposite of your letter writer. I think Ramirez is a little too boring for Maddie and I would like her to get together with Felix. I really liked learning more about him in your last book. <BR/><BR/>Why are you ending the series?
