Natalya Lakhno asked this question and here’s my reply!<\/h5>\n
If you were trapped inside one of your own books, which one would it be and why?<\/h5>\n
Well, I wouldn’t choose any of my historicals because I put my heroines and heroes through a lot of stress, struggles and pain. I enjoy writing and researching historical periods which have a lot of conflict in them because they test people and show us what they really made of. But I don’t wanna live that thanks very much.\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n
I think I would like to be in Mavis’s Forever Christmas <\/i>because it\u2019s about a later in life heroine who finally finds true love with an old friend plus it has a stray dog, puppies, a blended family and a brand new baby and it’s Christmas! Sounds like fun to me!\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n
New Question from me: Does anybody have a favorite book of mine that they would like to live in (for a while)? Answer that here and you might win a free ebook! –Lyn<\/b><\/h5>\n
