I'm not used to people knowing who I am and wanting to talk to me - no one there knew who I was! :-) Anyway, so great to meet you and talk about angsty heroes. I think my next hero out in a week or two is my most broken yet - a ex child soldier from Africa - so they DO work in romance. And people DO want to read about them. So keep writing what you love and don't let anyone tell you different. :-)<br /><br />Jackie Ashendenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564893115525415518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1285982211281526304.post-70589296399496798622014-08-03T21:57:34.395-08:002014-08-03T21:57:34.395-08:00We'll definitely have to chat about how it all...We'll definitely have to chat about how it all went at some point. :) Tomorrow's my set aside day to finish my comments on Shrouded.

So proud to be a fellow Escape Artist with you because your passion for writing shines through. Thank the writing Gods for Jackie Ashenden and Maisey Yates who are trail blazing writing the characters that are true to us and letting the cards fall as they may. Love their work. Stoked they are coming back this year to Aus! Will keep you posted on all our #RWAus14 shenanigans as we go.

Meeting people who have the same relationship with characters and constantly have voices in their head demanding you write their story, that is priceless. No one else understands as well as other authors. I'm so glad you had this experience. I hope someday you and I can be at a conference together as well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.kari lemorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836561395137916595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1285982211281526304.post-47114663818530905672014-08-03T06:53:39.262-08:002014-08-03T06:53:39.262-08:00Thank you for sharing!!!

Your writing is amazing, you are amazing. I know we're forum friends, but I really hope to meet you one day so we can be friends in person, too (like Carol and Cheryl). :) Who knows, maybe at next year's RWA conference... ;)Gina Hagedornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04907431075658236548noreply@blogger.com
