No fair. I wanna know what Molly did!
OK...me too! Why are my comments on the sidebar? What did I do?
And as to Molly...I need to email eHarlequin and see if I have the rights back on that story now that it is off their site. Hmmm..
Go Jenna - wow, you are prolific! (as well as Terrific! LOL)
You're the short story queen!
Sorry, don't know what's happening with the sidebar issue. That's weird.
I've got my eye on some of those WRP ones. They look just the thing to curl up in bed with--something short and sweet. :-)
And the sidebar thing? Not a clue. At first I couldn't find the comments--it was like a treasure hunt!

I almost didn't find the comments space- glad you gave the heads up about the sidebar. Great short story writer!
Glad you posted about the sidebar issue. I almost didn't find the comments tag.
Wow, you're prolific! Wish I had this much in the hopper.
I'm a sucker for Regencies, so #1 was my favorite.
