I live in the Mid-West because that is where I grew up..it's not a very original reason but I've gotten used to having all 4 seasons and probably would miss it if I didn't. I would love to live in the Regency period for the clothing of that time, I just love the clothes. I would probably enjoy the manners of the time period although I might have a problem with women's rights

You know, I&#39;ve never been to Iowa! It&#39;s one of my dreams to visit all 50 states (or at least the continental 48) so I hope to correct that lack very soon. And I agree... if I were to live in Regency times, rich would be the way to go! LOL.<br /><br />Hi Trisha! Do you make it back to Tampa much? I find that I take it for granted sometimes, and don&#39;t take as much advantage of the

Buffie: The changing seasons are definitely nice. Sometimes I forget that it isn&#39;t summertime, and when I call my family from, say, the beach, and their first comment is, &quot;I wish the snow would let up!&quot; it takes me a second to reconcile what they&#39;re saying! (Not this winter though... it&#39;s been horrible even here. Florida is not frost-friendly, and all our plants are dead!)<

I live in northern California and I love it. We have 4 wonderful seasons. It&#39;s hot in the summer (perfect for swimming) and wet in the winter that keeps everything nice and green. <br /><br />I would love to visit the Regency period but I&#39;m not sure I could live there...I love my computer to much!!!<br /><br />Congrats on this great book!!!

Hi Erica!<br /><br />I was born in the Tampa area and moved to the Atlanta area almost 7 years ago when I was 12. I miss the beach and warm weather of FL, but I like GA as well. My family and friends are there and I love working there. I would love to visit Regency England, but I would miss home if I had to stay!

Hi, Erica. Congratulations on your release of TWTK. It sounds very good.<br /><br />I live in Iowa and I really love it. (Yes, even when temps are frigid in winter and snow is plentiful. Well, then there&#39;s all that humidity in July....I still love my state.) Iowa is really pretty. <br /><br />I think I wouldn&#39;t mind living in Regency England, but I would have to come from a family

Hi, Erica! I love in the chilly state of Massachusetts right now, but I would love to live in Regency England. I just love how they acted, the manners, the clothes - it all seems so much more romantic.<br />Margay

Hey there, Erica, and welcome!! Happy Release Day to you! Congrats on your baby finally hitting the shelves. How does it feel? I can&#39;t wait to read it as soon as I finish my current review books.<br /><br />I lived just south of Tampa (Brandon/Riverview) for 16 years before moving to Atlanta 5 1/2 years ago. Besides my friends, the only thing I miss is the warmth in the winter. Like you, I am

Hey Erica! And welcome to The Romance Dish! I have heard so many great things about your book, <i>Too Wicked To Kiss </i>. <br /><br />I used to live on the Florida Gulf Coast too. Just a little further south -- Fort Myers. But I really enjoy the change of seasons in Atlanta. But like everyone else, I&#39;m so ready for this winter to be over!

GA/SC sound gorgeous! I love, love, love hiking and enjoying lakes and waterfalls and nature. (I think that&#39;s why I like Costa Rica so much!) Add in the friendly people, and I&#39;m sold. I have to plan a road trip up that way!!

Sure! I&#39;m super excited about Too Sinful To Deny. (And I cannot wait to get cover art!!!) The brilliant marketing folks who do the cover copy will craft the official blurb at that time (I have absolutely zero blurb-crafting skills, LOL) but here are the first two paragraphs of the proposal I sent my editor:<br /><br />For gossip-hungry socialite Miss Susan Stanton, nothing could be worse than

Erica, Georgia has some beautiful areas. I live in northwest South Carolina, less than 20 miles from both the Georgia and North Carolina state lines. We&#39;re in the foothills and mountains up here (where the scenery is gorgeous). Lots of waterfalls, terrific hiking, beautiful lakes and friendly people!

Yikes! A $600 roaming charge? I think I&#39;d leave my phone off too! What a memorable way to get the news though. I have a feeling there was much celebrating done in Costa Rica that night.<br /><br />Erica, I know your next book won&#39;t be released until 2011 but I&#39;m eagerly anticipating Susan&#39;s story, especially after hearing that there&#39;s a pirate involved.

Maureen: Thank you!! And come to think of it, if I thought Midwest winters were bad, winter in Regency England would&#39;ve been so much colder. Imagine huddling together on a mail truck as you traveled from one town to another in the snow. Yikes!<br /><br />Janga: Yay, thanks!! I really need to explore Georgia more. I&#39;ve been to Atlanta dozens of times, but other than that, I really haven&

Gannon: NC is sooo pretty! I visited when my younger brother lived there and fell in love with hiking through the picturesque mountains.<br /><br />Melissa: I agree, the clearly delineated gender roles and societal norms are one of the things I love about the era. Maybe there was a lot of &quot;game-playing&quot;, but everyone knew the rules and the part they were supposed to play. And there&#39;

PJ: Thank you!!! =) My call story is actually a &quot;missed call&quot; story... I was in Costa Rica at the time and had the phone off so as not to rack up another $600 roaming bill like I did the *last* time I went to CR, which meant it wasn&#39;t until I went to an internet cafe to check my email when I opened one from my agent that said something like, &quot;What do I have to do to get you to

Hi Erica, book sounds wonderful!<br /><br />Canadian born and bred, was born and raised on the east coast, now live smack dab in the middle of his huge country, hubby&#39;s a teacher, you go where the jobs are.<br />I would love to live in the Victorian Era myself. Regency? I could get by, esp with hunky Dukes and Earls around, LOL!<br />All the best for your release~

I&#39;m hearing good buzz about <i>Too Wicked to Kiss</i>, including recommendations from trusted sources like PJ and Eloisa James. Adding yet another title to my must-read list . . . I need to add a room to accommodate my ever-growing TBR collection. :)<br /><br />I&#39;m a Georgian, born and bred, and while I love to visit other places, my roots are so deep in Georgia soil, I&#39;d be difficult

Hi Erica,<br />Congratulations on the new book! It sounds spooky and suspensful. I live in the northeast and am jealous of your warm temperatures. I cannot tell you how sick of snow I am. I would definitely love to visit Regency England but I don&#39;t know how happy I would be there on a regular basis.

Hi Erica! <br /><br />Born and raised and still live in NYC. Everything that&#39;s good about the Big Apple it is exactly what I dislike about it: big, fast, with attitude. Don&#39;t get me wrong, the opportunities offered in NYC are unparalleled: culture, jobs, fashion, glitz, etc... but it gets to be a bit too much sometimes.<br /><br />I am a bit of an Anglophile. I love to read about Regency

Hi Erica,<br />Congrats on your release! I love the book trailer for it. ^^ <br /><br />Right now i live out in Mennonite country Pennsylvania. I live here because i was still in college when my parents moved and now i&#39;m a recently graduated, but unemployed. So basically i&#39;ve had no choice to live where i live now. <br /><br />I would love to live in Regency period. Something about that

Good morning, Erica! We&#39;re glad to have you with us today.<br /><br />I used to live in Tampa (two different times). I&#39;m a fellow USF alum! Although I grew up in Florida, I don&#39;t miss the heat. Of course, here in the NC mountains we&#39;ve had far too much snow this winter. A little warmth and sunshine would be welcome right now. :-)

Hi Erica! Congrats on the release of <i>Too Wicked to Kiss</i>. I enjoyed this story so much! <br /><br />Living in Tampa sounds wonderful today...as I watch snow fall outside my window. I used to live on the Florida Gulf Coast and can fully appreciate how inspiring it can be. <br /><br />We love Call Stories here at the Romance Dish. Will you tell us yours?
