N THE BARGAIN is a mix of ER and Gray’s Anatomy in the NICU, and my hero looks so much like George Clooney.

Well done on the new contract. The book sounds excellent
Thank you. It's one of my favorites, inspired by my daughter who is a neonatologist. She insisted on reviewing the medical cases. Apparently my medical knowlege sucks!!
The picture of the doctor with a baby is hers.
I think you will surely hold your book in your hands at WRP. No numbers!
I keep a backup on CD's about once a week. I'd die if I lost everything. Your heart must have been double timing. I hope I'm doing this correct.
This new book will be interesting for me because I have a medical background, and I'll get what you are talking about.
Mona, the new story sounds super! And I'm thrilled to have you join us at the Wild Rose. I love it in the garden!
Hi Mary and Beth, thank you for making my landing in the garden smooth.
This sounds fantastic! Grrrr...I just bought six e-books and now between you, AJ, and Desiree Holt, it's growing again!
Congrats on your sale! Love the blurb. Gray's meets ER?? Definitely a book I'll be picking up :)
I loved this story and urge everyone to pick up a copy when its released.
Molly sweetie, keep reading ebooks. I discover them six months ago and agree with you. My next one FRENCH PERIL will be coming to Cerridwen Press on June 19 and will keep you reading to the last scene to find the murderer while you enjoy the love interludes.
Katie, I'm a big fan of Gray's Anatomy. It's the only show I watch on TV, but I would never miss it.
Sandra, you are on my acknowledgment list for French Peril. Thank you for reading and critiquing. I wouldn't have made it without your help.
I'm so delighted to hear you have a contract for Babies In The Bargain. I love this book. It combines a heart warming story of two dedicated doctors finding their happy ending with a new baby and a sizzliing love story.
