Christy's novels are always fast-paced, hard to put down, and uplifting because of her humor. She takes the reader into worlds I would never experience otherwise (rock stars, dog shows).

You did a great job capturing her dynamic spirit and the quality of her books. I've read all her books and am actually a bit in love with Striker (Nat's love interest in her Bodyguard series...) Can't wait to read the upcoming one.<br /><br />And Christy, if I can do it with nine grands, four greats and one great-great, you can still write when your blessed event gets here. Congrats to your daughter and hubby.<br /><br />Thanks again, Susan!

Christy, ...Wonderful interview, Christy and Susan!<br /><br />Christy, I have to wonder why you didn't mention the next book in your Bodyguard series? I've read it and if you ask me, it's the best of the lot so far--of course, I say that after each of your books because at the time when I'm reading them, they truly are the best!<br /><br />Pauline, Christy actually published two Bodyguard books before she found our wonderful publisher, L&L Dreamspell. The Bodyguard and The Bodyguard and the Show Dog are both available on Amazon--or they were the last time I looked.<br /><br />I enjoyed reading this interview very much--even if I didn't learn anything new about Christy!<br /><br />CaitlynCaitlyn Hunterhttp://caitlynhunter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10479189974436584.post-42654119258515264372010-05-14T12:54:47.033-04:002010-05-14T12:54:47.033-04:00Great interview.

Thanks to you both!<br /><br />I seem to remember you published one of the bodyguard books before you came to L&L? Do we know where to get that one? (I could be having a lame day! Sorry!)<br /><br />I have an alphasmart. It kicks lap top tush in the battery dept. I still haven't changed the batteries in it. The downside is the small screen. I like to see more of my work, but its nice for fast boot up and the files are way easy to transfer to your computer.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06673963438671468441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10479189974436584.post-30665831798969589492010-05-14T12:18:51.001-04:002010-05-14T12:18:51.001-04:00Mine is pretty old so I'll bet they've bee...Mine is pretty old so I'll bet they've been improved. But I use it when I'm hiking or on the water. The battery life is amazing, probably 48 hours or something. It's sort of frustrating because it only displays one line at a time.

We bought them by the hundred for kids when I was a principal. I've been thinking about getting one to take to ball games and such where I'm there for hours.
