    Hi Virginia! I hope you had a good weekend. It's been raining all day up here in Maine. It was the perfect day to curl up on the couch with a good book! Enjoy your week :)

    Your Russian illustrations are fabulous, Virginia! I'd love to see what the Cyrllic text looks like, too! (For some reason MySpace wouldn't let me comment on the blog.)

    Thanks for posting a comment, sorry so long in responding. I love the 'Tree of Life' with Celtic knotwork. I'm always search them out. Good luck at National. Can't be there myself this year even though it is actually kind of close, relatively speaking.

    Oh wow! Just finished sea lord...it was the best one! Mainly because Lucy and Conn are my favorite. Caleb and Dylan were great in their books but Conn and Lucy were perfect for each other they blew me away. I did realize I hate trilogies lol they are always over way too soon just when they start to become familar like family or at least friends cause is dylan and caleb were my bros I'd smack em but thats brothers for you. :-( but still book four is for after the drama is done I want to be nosey and just get a book dwelling in the lovey-dovey for a while. But maybe thats just me. Great job on Sea Lord!

    Thanks for writing back. And how cool is that, your daughter's name and your first name both mine as well? LOL And I'll look Tony Mauro up and add him too. The covers are really beautiful on all your books. And yes, I think married women with children understand passion because they have to work so much harder to obtain it then single women! LOL It means a little more to us because its scarce! HAHAHAHAHA! Thanks again Mrs. Kantra! And I can't wait to pick up your other books! I'll be reading them all summer (because I won't be able to when next semester starts). Anywa, thanks again and have a good day! -J

    Thanks for the add Virginia! I have to be honest with you. I randomly picked up your book from the bookstore. I was in a rush- but WANTed a romance novel. I saw your name -which is my real first name (I go by my nickname Jean) and I briefly read the back cover- the artwork called to me (I love water and am a water sign)- so I thought "this looks good". May I just say- Wow! I'm definitely going to have to pick up Sea Witch and Sea Fever now. Your writing is amazing. How do you manage to tap into such creativity and sexuality all while having a husband and 3 children??? It's awesome! Oh, and your use of language in those "romantic" moments is great, I think thats what sets you apart from other romance authors. Ok, I think you've heard enough of my fan-ranting LOL Have a great day! And I look forward to reading your other books!
