Makes me want to buy anything you write. :) In scanning previous comments, I had to giggle at Bonnie Grove asking if you'd put it on your book jacket if you DON'T live with your husband. Um...I don't. He's a military reservist and has been activated for two years this month. Fortunately he's stateside and can come home most weekends (about a 4-5 hour drive, bless his heart). On the right romance or military suspense story, it might be interesting to toss that twist into a bio. Absence makes the heart grow fonder! :) Britt, that’s hilarious!

Really hard to keep it to one sentence. I think I rewrote this five times.
