Ok so it took me a while and I had to have help getting it uploaded but here is one link
Well, my voice is scratchy and Miss Stephanie my gel Friday moved the camera around at the end but it’s not to bad. I do look so old though, but I am going to be 48 soon, oy! Oh and when the two of us couldn’t get it uploaded to save our lives in walks Denny and says let me do that. And Boom Badda Bing – it’s done! I picked that excerpt because it really showed how Grace was stronger than even she suspected. It was the first thing that stood out in my head when I was trying to figure out what to read. I have to say Maya can write some real kick-ass heroines. Look for my review of Echoes at Dawn soon.

Loved it, Zina. You did an awesome job!! Thank you. I sent the link to Jared. You’re the only one so far to make the effort & that’s so appreciated.
Aren’t the 40′s the new 30′s?
We’re of an age, I turned 48 @ the end of July.
Ivy, I don’t remember what my body felt like in the 30′s but I think it was better than now. At times I do feel like I’m still in my 30′s and others I feel like I’m in my 70′s lol.
Thank you.

Well done!
I would be so nervous to do that!
I had to make several takes, I liked some parts of the others but I can’t cut and splice at the saying goes. Mostly tried to keep the background noise of the kids down.
Thanks
Z
very well done! and be glad you’re only 48!
Ok I’ll be glad, thanks Diane

Zina, I Loved this! It gives us a voice to the person we all think the world of.
What a great idea for the blog and I’m liking the new look too. I’m going to give some of Maya’s historicals a try and maybe then move into her contemporaries. I think I have a mind block when it comes to contemporaries…..maybe I’m just strange, LOL! I have read some and enjoyed them but my heart is in the past I guess.
I received the swag and was so excited when I opened it! Thank you so much!
Leah and everyone that received swag with the boxes of candy, be prepared to throw the candy out, I’ve found out that the candy had turned white and some of it had melted as well. Open your candy with care and sorry about that everyone.

Zina, I didn’t get any candy, just the wonderful swag. So no worries here. I hate that happened to the candy.
Leah,
I haven’t done any reviews for Maya’s Highlander series, I like them except for the fact that too much modern language was used and it bothered me. I love Maya’s books and as a favorite author I’ll buy her books, just those books aren’t as good as I’d like. Her comtempories and especially her KGI are out of this world great.

Hi, Zina! Great job you did. By the way, you look great. I’m the old lady here at 66. I’m shooting to reach 666 so I can give the devil a run for his money! So, as far as I’m concerned, you’re just a baby!
Connie, my dear friend, I can see you doing just that! LOL! (((HUGS)))
Thank you Miss Connie
I don’t feel like a baby when I’m trying to get up in the mornings. This morn my alarm went off 12 times before I got up, sheesh. I’m ready to go back to bed already.

You are braver than I to do it on camera. I have read books to my husband when we travel. I edit as you did and leave out the “juicy” parts. I have told him of he wants to read them, I’ll mark the pages and he can do it himself. I am such a chicken.
I keep meaning to email you to let you know my RomCon swag box arrived Monday. It has been such a zoo, i didn’t get to open it until Wednesday or Thursday and haven’t really dug around to see what is in it. Between Red Cross disaster work on a local flood and preparations for Isaac plus three major projects at church, I am getting nothing else done. It will all be pretty much over the end of Sept. and then we go on vacation and our first cruise. I’ll need the rest.
