Looking forward to seeing the Aussie cover too.<br /><br />Yes, please come on down under! And if you make your trip at the same time as one of our conferences, it'll be so much easier to meet lots of Aussie romance writers. ;)Rachel Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200504088343160284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-81846428704884057142010-03-16T21:46:57.314+11:002010-03-16T21:46:57.314+11:00Nikki - snow is a mixed blessing.

Fun for snowmen and tobogganing and not so much for getting the car out of the yard.<br /><br />We have a ride-on lawn mower and bought a snowblower attachment for it, so we blow the snow out of the driveway so we can get in and out, but otherwise, it just looks pretty and white. We didn't have quite as much this year as last.Donna Alwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107885864783850332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-52271856450010035532010-03-16T20:32:27.231+11:002010-03-16T20:32:27.231+11:00Hi Donna,

I'm lucky enough to live in 26 acres of Aussie bush. Can't see any neighbours or hear traffic except on a still day. I hang out my washing to the sound of birds. And the wind in the trees sounds like waves on the osean. I look forward to seeing yu at an Australian romance writers conference one day. Thanks for dropping by and giving us a look-see into your world.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872061669568195203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-42497644731008195232010-03-16T14:44:32.849+11:002010-03-16T14:44:32.849+11:00Hi Donna,

I've surrounded myself with wild things in my writing space but sadly my window overlooks the feral neighbours over the road :(<br /><br />We do live diagonally opposite a bush park but can't see it from my writing pozzie. Cest la vie.<br /><br />Donna - coming from a state that never sees snow, it's hard for me to imagine your view covered in pretty white stuff (although I imagine it doesn't stay pretty). But an acre of it must be challenging to manage in winter? Or do you 'manage' it by letting it run wild and waiting for the thaw?Nikki Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895929864616916672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-113781234408287532010-03-16T13:07:05.052+11:002010-03-16T13:07:05.052+11:00Sounds like a super place to write, Donna, with de...Sounds like a super place to write, Donna, with deer and duck tollers for company. Your dog must really like living in Nova Scotia. We had a toller and couldn't keep him out of the water.

It's bright and early on a Monday morning, the kids are off for spring break and we're dog-sitting this week which is turning out to be...an adventure. *yawn*<br /><br />LOL at bears and cougars! No cougars here and the odd bear...it was much more dangerous out west as there were grizzlies and mountain lions and if you're in the right spot, rattlers and black widow spiders. :-) There are bear bells to wear while hiking but really the only thing we ever ran into on the trail were big horned sheep.<br /><br />About that Aussie release date - rumour has it that May is the magic month. I'm dying to see the cover! The Aus/NZ covers have had a makeover and they're sooooo pretty!Donna Alwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107885864783850332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-28906815598582259402010-03-15T20:22:33.950+11:002010-03-15T20:22:33.950+11:00Hi Donna

And thanks for sharing about your home - as an Aussie who's yet to leave our shores I love finding out about other people's homes and their wildlife. Happy writing and hope we see you in Oz sometime.Fiona Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00122893263776382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-3077135114612794482010-03-15T18:31:02.656+11:002010-03-15T18:31:02.656+11:00gorgeous cover Donna, and I'm half in love wit...gorgeous cover Donna, and I'm half in love with your hero already!!

I think we might get it on our shelves down here in May so I'll keep my eyes peeled for it. I hope we get the NA cover! <br /><br />Congratulations on being part of The Pink Heart Society - it's one of my favourite blog reads!<br /><br />Good luck with your next story - I hope the characters are feeling cooperative!<br /><br />:)<br />SharonSharon Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836969154744451542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-51176093924726127402010-03-15T15:40:07.028+11:002010-03-15T15:40:07.028+11:00Hi Nikki & Donna - great interview!

I find it fun to develop them as characters and to put them in situations where they have to overcome hurdles or confront their own frailties, often prodded by their heroines and I so get the "not pity for themselves" comment, that would make them seem weak.<br />I hope you manage to make it DownUnder one day, Donna, maybe to an RWA conference?Kylie Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469214884337936604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-7336808182985641382010-03-15T15:06:28.321+11:002010-03-15T15:06:28.321+11:00Hi Donna.

I guess it's all a matter of perspective... we have spiders and snakes, but you guys have cougars, bears and wolves!<br /><br />I love you cover! You've got me very intrigued about your hero. Do you have an Aussie release date?AJ Blythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529233142099749005noreply@blogger.com
