Have to agree with your comment about Welsh heros too, Judy! :)<br /><br />I certainly agree about Wales and Scotland being so similar, Rosemary, that's why I've felt <br />so at home when I've visited I think.

You make me blush, especially as you write such great stories yourself.<br /><br />Yes, Western riding is great, and even English horses respond well to neck reining, it's so natural for them to move away from a touch on the neck and go in the opposite direction and it's so easy to do just riding with one hand.Hywela Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789711554354184386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278356786329973174.post-33333807756432132252011-08-11T15:15:44.627-07:002011-08-11T15:15:44.627-07:00I have to tell you that you have accomplished your...I have to tell you that you have accomplished your goal Lyn.

Glad you enjoyed the interview, Rosemary asks great questions.<br /><br />Sorry to hear you've been having some 'bad' days, but yes, that was wonderful advice from Anne McCaffrey, that is the crux of why we write really isn't it, to write the type of stories we love to read ourselves.<br /><br />All the best to you, my friend!Hywela Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789711554354184386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278356786329973174.post-14784594504486912942011-08-11T07:54:14.988-07:002011-08-11T07:54:14.988-07:00Hi Rosemary and Lyn

However, like you, I've made so many friends through loops, blogging and Facebook, and that's been the real bonus of promotion. <br />And I LOVE your quote from Anne McCaffrey about writing what you would like to read. Having had a couple of depressed days wondering just why I write contemporary romance, I'm going to stick that quote above my computer to remind myself of why I write my stories. Thank you!Paula Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040623635956769807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278356786329973174.post-70757347208469849252011-08-11T07:47:18.083-07:002011-08-11T07:47:18.083-07:00Glad you like the cover Rosemary - and talking abo...Glad you like the cover Rosemary - and talking about 'atmospheric' I really love your cover for 'Dngerous Deceit' too!<br /><br />I forgot when I gave you the link to my 'Freeread' that it's also the link to my main author Page at The Wild Rose Press with my other books on - the 'freeread' is called 'A Bargain With Death' it's a light romantic fantasy set in medieval England and although you go through the 'purchase' process you're not actually charged anything!Hywela Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789711554354184386noreply@blogger.com
