I wish I could be as optimistic as you are. I will try though...that one is a long standing resolution for me. I will be in line waiting for the book, or rather, I will pick the book up during the last week of December or so. That's when I usually get them at Walmart or other neighborhood stores. Peace and love, Paula R. Hey Jo, you are so sweet. Any little bit of prayer for me will go a long way, I am sure. I wish I could be as optimistic as you are.

I'm about midway through your Encounters (& enjoying it immensely), &, as you may remember, before retirement, I, also, worked in the entertainment biz. I love retirement, but, will never forget listening to the taps of Fred Astaire rehearse for his Specials, working in casting for Matinee Theater projects, which blocked, rehearsed & were broadcast live every weekday, &, much later, eating lunch during Carol Burnett's rehearsals, where she said (not exact) "if you can make the employees laugh, it MUST be funny". (BTW, of all the people I met, Carol is one of the nicest people you will ever know). It was a wonderful period for TV. Am looking for more great stories from you in the years to come. Best, Patricia Hi, Jolie,

I don't think I've heard it before. Life does seem to throw a lot of harsh winds in our way. Some are harder to walk through than others. I'm just glad I had plenty of helping hands to pull me along. Thanks so much for looking for the book, and all my best for a great holiday season! Jo Hi Alina,

What a beautiful name. I don’t think I’ve heard it before.

You know, the great thing about dreams is there's no expiration date. Or start date. You can have them as often or as infrequently as you like. For me, when I was lost, I started out very, very small. I woke up determined to find something to smile about. I didn't always succeed, but what the heck. Tell you what. I'm going to wake up tomorrow morning and wish for YOU to find something to smile about. Maybe our combined energy will start a spark. :) Thank you, about Ms. Match. I'm so pleased you liked it. And yes, being around all those talented people is exhilarating, isn't it? And a lesson in humility. Talk about having to deal with rejection. I learned a lot from my theater friends. Oh, I probably should have mentioned when the book is coming out. You can get it now from eHarlequin, or soon from other retailers. It's a January release.

Your blog was very inspiring. I think we all lose our way sometimes because of things that happen in our lives. I'm glad you have found your way. I cant wait to read the book. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and very happy new year. (*) Hi Jo. Your blog was very inspiring. I think we all lose our way sometimes because of things that happen in our lives.

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 13:40:33 +0000 http://blazeauthors.com/blog/?p=2641#comment-6581 Hi Jo, this blog was very touching. You know what, I have let my dreams fade. I know, it's a sad, sad tale. Rationally, I know there is hope, but I haven't believed in a long time that they would come true. Maybe that is the problem. I am glad that you got back in game. I loved Ms. Match, and I can't wait to read about these three Broadway hopefuls. I have actor friends as well, albeit not as big as yours, but I see how they get excited about auditions and how they react when their dreams get crushed. When is Sexy Ms. Takes coming out? I don't remember seeing it. I love the play on words you have with the titles too. Have a wonderful holiday season, okay! Peace and love, Paula R. Hi Jo, this blog was very touching.
