I know the Aussies amongst you will be aware of the devastating floods that have hit the state I live in back in Aus, but perhaps others haven't. I apologise for my tardiness in getting back here but have been checking on friends and still haven't heard from one of them. Others houses have gone under or are on the point of it. My daughter's best friend is stranded in Brisbane between two bends in the river. And it's still raining with so much floodwater yet to come downriver. <br />It's times like these that the acts of kindness of strangers makes such a difference - from the rescue personnel who put their lives at risk to those who take people and families into their homes and give them somewhere safe to stay during such a traumatic time in their lives. <br />Sorry to sound morbid. I'll respond to your lovely comments personally when I've heard happier news about those I'm so worried about.<br />(((hugs)))<br />CCCCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-40938498785407671892011-01-10T12:18:18.754-06:002011-01-10T12:18:18.754-06:00Hi CC

Have already ordered Colorado Cowboy and am waiting for the Book Depository to deliver. Really love these stories and think you are one talented lady!<br />Now please - keep feeding my addiction to the O'Malley men xScarlet Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784722625468146993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-17520377892614793162011-01-10T11:58:19.180-06:002011-01-10T11:58:19.180-06:00Letters from readers are so great, CC.

My dream-filled nights make my days.<br />I have been reading romances for over 35 years now, and I just love love love reading a good book and then toddling off to bed, remembering specific scenes but substituting myself for the heroine. My favourite scenes are when the heroine is carried by the hero or when the heroine isn't feeling well. These moments of weakness can be relived throughout many nights of interrupted sleep patterns as well. Then voila! Sweet dreams prevail again!<br />As for the kudos, I was lucky enough to read THE SHERIFF AND THE BABY with Sheriff Matt O'Malley and couldn't put this book down. I enjoyed the warm and loving relationships throughout the pages. I also liked how the storyline made sense, along with having realistic characters. I wrote down that I look forward to the "Babies & Bachelors" series, but now I see that COLORADO COWBOY is part of the "Men of the West" series. I am so confused! I guess these O'Malley men get around!Laney4https://www.blogger.com/profile/06990122242183752771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-32643961116272237352011-01-10T01:19:42.622-06:002011-01-10T01:19:42.622-06:00Hi CC, I couldn't agree with you more.

The internet makes it so very possible and easy! What makes my day is getting a book in the mail. Have received a couple of freebies recently, and it was *so very, very nice* when they arrived! They were good reads, too, so that made it even nicer.

I put them up on my refrigerator and only take them down once they yellow with age.<br /><br />Over the 20 years I've been a teacher I've received probably a half dozen cards or notes from parents and they've all brought a tear to my eye.<br /><br />I've kept them too, stapling them into the day in my diary that I received them and I go back to them when times get tough and I think "what am I doing in this crazy job?" Their heartfelt sentiments remind me I'm making a difference in the job.<br /><br />So, never underestimate how precious those sort of lovely letters/cards/emails can make, no matter the profession you're in.Kylie Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469214884337936604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-46249142607383234252011-01-09T22:56:41.093-06:002011-01-09T22:56:41.093-06:00Definitely agree with Rach, but what makes my day ...Definitely agree with Rach, but what makes my day is when one of my kids, for no reason (ie they don't actually want somehting), gives me a hug and says they love me.AJ Blythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529233142099749005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-14474504543450350162011-01-09T22:40:53.955-06:002011-01-09T22:40:53.955-06:00Hi Rach!
