You might also want to try a couple Samhain titles. Anything by Kate Johnson. I FLE'd her novella "The Twelve Lies of Christmas" and laughed so hard I scared the cat. It's chick lit spies, but exceptionally well done. Kate's in her twenties too. I hate her utterly. She has no right to write so well. LOL Another keeper is Ann Vremont's SACRED HEART DIARIES, the novel I'm working on now. *user fans self* Unquestionaly her best, most complex work to date. I honestly don't know what to compare it to. It's epistolatory erotica set in late 18th century France and the West Indies, and it's amazing. The book starts as little stories of the amorous adventures of well-bred convent girls and *evolves* into something indescribably wonderful. And being Ann, the sex is an integral part of the narrative, not window dressing. Gawd, I envy her, Kate and Lynn their gifts. Speaking of gifts, what have you been up to? Have things calmed down enough for a phone call? Hugs, Jean Marie
