” I had hoped I’d be preparing to write the third Trouble book…but my publisher doesn’t want it.”

That sucks that they dropped you. They’re loss.

I would say if at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again. You never know what the repsonse to moe Trouble could be, and it can go off the shelves of booktores like hotcakes.

I hope whatever decision you make, is the right one.

Good Luck!

I think you should finish the 3rd Trouble book. I’ve loved the others and would be so excited to buy it once it’s finally published(which some publisher would be crazy not to do). Keep up the awesome work!!!

Wow, such a lot of great input today. Thanks so much everyone for not only the input but also the great support and enthusiasm. This is just a sucky part of the business, and it REALLY helps knowing there are people out there who are pulling for me and like what I do!

Leslie…I have to tell you….I haven’t read many of your books (I just bought a lot and they are in my pile)….I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the “She’s Got the Look” and “She Drives Me Crazy” books. I can’t look at pecan pie the same way….which is really tough because I love pecan pie. Whatever voice that was….keep it coming! I have to catch up, so don’t write too many more books! LOL!

PS: I’m hoping the other Plotmonkeys will give more “clues” about where we’re going, as Julie might just tie the guessing in to Friday’s contest!

Patricia, no, I am not at all offended! That’s exactly the kind of input I was asking for.

And I have to say, I think SHE’S NO ANGEL is probably the most like Naturally Naughty of all my single titles. It’s a much more character based romance, with humor arising out of the snappy dialogue & characters *much* more than any “town hijinx” like it did in HERE COMES TROUBLE. It’s way less slapsticky and much more “tight”…with a VERY hip, sarcastic, funny heroine, I just think it rocks.

Leslie, OK, I’m going to go against most of the other Plotmonkeys. Personally, &, obviously this is just me, I’m tired of quirky, small-town & multi-charactered books. (I think Evanovich’s LSs were miles better written, & more interesting, than her “Plums”. ) For me, multi-layered, character stories are the most compelling. Personally, I think your strength is contemporary romantic comedy (seems as if SEP is doing well writing these so someone must be buying). I loved the elements that you wrote for NATURALLY NAUGHTY–a strong, HIP herone, who doesn’t believe in love, who pushes the sexual envelope at the beginning of the story, & spends the rest of the time trying not to fall in love (my fave book of all of yours). I do agree with you about dark vampires, etc. being overdone (though, I was NEVER into them). Though I know you like thrillers, they’re not for me, & one writer of them has stated she returned to Category, when hers didn’t sell as many as the publisher hoped. Even though RS is not my bag, when written well, with emphasis on the characters (not the action), they can be enthralling, & it appears it is still selling.

Anyway, hope I’ve not been TOO honest….
