But let me assure you (in my capacity as Section Leader of Diana Gabaldon's section of the Compuserve forum) that we are always delighted to welcome new fans over there. And I am sure that both Diana and Jo would agree with me. They're human beings, too, just like everybody else. :-)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, it's totally up to you. Just something to consider.<BR/><BR/>KarenKaren Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635855088490793965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781006155885226657.post-77961941277803195832009-02-21T08:51:00.000-05:002009-02-21T08:51:00.000-05:00Thanks for the idea, I've never commented over the...Thanks for the idea, I've never commented over there before (I must admit, I'm a big intimidated by it!) but I'll consider it! I didn't know she was over there too. I have such hero worship of these authors, frankly, it's difficult for me to actually "meet" them for fear of sounding too much like a gusher!Julie at Outlandish Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16595989966510183531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781006155885226657.post-70150530297650857412009-02-21T07:11:00.000-05:002009-02-21T07:11:00.000-05:00Just wanted to note that Jo Bourne, author of SPYM...Just wanted to note that Jo Bourne, author of SPYMASTER'S LADY (and its sequel, MY LORD AND SPYMASTER), is a regular contributor on the <A HREF="http://community.compuserve.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?nav=messages&webtag=ws-books" REL="nofollow">Compuserve Books and Writers Forum</A> where Diana Gabaldon hangs out.

Maybe it was and I am just being partial to my very fond memory of this book. Unfortunately I wasn't blogging when I read this book so I can't go back and compare. sigh. It is a definite must reread for me!!Heather Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00632528059311088701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781006155885226657.post-15551911631371895192009-02-15T18:24:00.000-05:002009-02-15T18:24:00.000-05:00Thanks for commenting, yes there were some comedic...Thanks for commenting, yes there were some comedic parts to the book, though there is a lot of tension and drama in it as well.

It's positively shameful that I haven't read it yet with all the fabulous praise it's received and continues to receive. I must remedy this, especially after reading about your favorite moments. The book sounds like it has a sense of humor. :)<BR/><BR/>Happy Reading,<BR/>VampFanGirlVampFanGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787244891094182599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781006155885226657.post-57699173311348488892009-02-15T13:50:00.000-05:002009-02-15T13:50:00.000-05:00Barbara, I'm sure you'll love it!Barbara, I'm sure you'll love it!Julie at Outlandish Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16595989966510183531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781006155885226657.post-8384326605453036722009-02-15T12:31:00.000-05:002009-02-15T12:31:00.000-05:00Great review of the story!!
