  1. Missy,
    I'm ordering the anthology now! I just had family leave, turned in a book, and graded my last essay. I need a Missy and Tina fix!

  4. BTW: At the time I answered these questions for Pamela, I didn't know the release date for A Recipe for Romance. So that's another one for me as well! See yesterday's post for details.

  5. We're at about the same life-stage, Missy. My three young adults have been in and out of the house. One of my most treasured time was watching our special television programs with my middle daughter. We'd laugh and make snarky comments. Watching them alone is not nearly as fun. My snarky comments go unappreciated!

  6. Great to get to know you better, Missy! I can't argue with those favorite food choices. Spaghetti and dark chocolate brownies sound like the perfect dinner. I also love the scripture verse from Jeremiah. It gives such comfort during stressful times.

  7. I enjoyed getting to know more about you, Missy. I share your love of spaghetti with LOTS of Parmesan cheese on top.

    You neglected to mention in your post what a generous person you are, but I can attest to that trait. I'll be forever grateful for the contest feedback you gave me several years ago. Not only did you give me great feedback on the entry, but you went above and beyond. You read my synopsis thoroughly, told me about a weakness you spotted and gave me a great fix that is in the published version of that very story. You rock!
