Muwah!<br /><br />Skye -- Gold star for you! And oooh, I love Kylie Chan's Wudang series for the exact same reason. The way she blends the Eastern mythology into the story is fabulous, and it creates such a unique world.

I am reading Kylie Chan's Journey to Wudang series at the moment and the Eastern mythology is great.<br /><br />SkyeSkyenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871421659562888277.post-20696405249831243392011-08-06T18:32:00.728+10:002011-08-06T18:32:00.728+10:00Maree I missed your post!

Yet. And not sure I'd like to experience something like that!

Thanks heaps for reading the excerpt right through to the very end!<br /><br />Oh, and Kylie, I meant to say -- your comment reminds me of a newspaper article years and years ago, about a couple who were making love in the shower, got a little enthusiastic, and fell through the shower door. The medics who attended their uh, bits and pieces, thought it was very amusing, indeed. Poor things! How embarrassing! *g*Maree Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11329496105174788219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871421659562888277.post-49100901337498093752011-08-05T11:31:33.978+10:002011-08-05T11:31:33.978+10:00Hey Maree, congrats on the release of Kat on a Hot...Hey Maree, congrats on the release of Kat on a Hot Tin Roof! Loved the excerpt, enjoyed the image of Jace standing at the window bucko! Hee hee!!!<br /><br />Jace's nickname for Kat is Miss Kissable (no I didn't copy from Eleni or Kylie!!!)Christina Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14394771634788090193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871421659562888277.post-87638672295856312002011-08-05T11:13:42.963+10:002011-08-05T11:13:42.963+10:00Thanks for going first with the answer, Eleni. Som...Thanks for going first with the answer, Eleni. Someone has to go first, right? *VBG* And yes, I love Manga, though I don't get to read a lot of it. Fruits Basket and Vampire Knight are two of my favorites. Daughter and I kind of share them! We have a good collection of Studio Ghibli anime, too. <br /><br />Kylie, so that's what you were up to! Disguising the answer.... sneaky! Don't know that it'll work but it's worth a shot ;-)Maree Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11329496105174788219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871421659562888277.post-16042236854747453832011-08-04T20:24:59.863+10:002011-08-04T20:24:59.863+10:00Oh, Maree-eeeeeee, hint number 4 is so unfair! You...Oh, Maree-eeeeeee, hint number 4 is so unfair! You gotta make them work to win a freebie! LOL (go read the excerpt, you'll be disappointed if you don't *grin*)<br /><br />Great excerpt BTW - loved how Jace just about tripped over the hems in the drapes and through the window - that would've stopped things cold, eh???<br /><br />How cool to have a cat-burglar for real! The furry kind!!! Thanks for sharing the background to KOAHTR, sounds like you had fun researching the zodiac info then writing the story.<br /><br />OK, perhaps I've rambled enough that anyone looking for the answer in my post has given up. I can only hope :-P<br /><br />Jace's nickname for Kat is Miss Kissable (found in the last line of the excerpt - sneaky, Ms.Anderson, sneaky!).<br /><br />Oh, and if I'm lucky enough to be drawn out of the hat then I'd love to read SCENT OF A MAN, please! I've already had the pleasure of enjoying FROM THE ASHES.Kylie Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469214884337936604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871421659562888277.post-11637875888315806592011-08-04T20:23:27.474+10:002011-08-04T20:23:27.474+10:00I didn't realise your love of Manga, Maree.

Nor that it was what inspired this story :)<br /><br />Congrats on the release of your first print work!<br /><br />Answer: Miss Kissable. <br /><br />Righto, everyone else, you can now copy me. :)<br /><br />Great excerpt by the way. ;)Eleni Konstantinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12410262752761104440noreply@blogger.com
