Thanks for dropping by. I made up Lucy Howe. I always meant to change the last name - didn't want to offend anyone local - but as always happens I got attached I couldn't think of a good-enough name. Had I known there was a real Lucy Howe in the area I surely would have tried harder to find a different name! I'm sure <em>your </em>Lucy Howe is lovely and not in the least like <em>my </em>Lucy Howe! There will be more Bree books, although I'm not sure when. I'm glad you have enjoyed them. Writing them is fun too! Hope the summer treats you well, I'm certainly glad this winter seems to finally be ending. Best ~ Kate Hi Rob!

They were fun and entertaining, as well as page burners. My reading habits tend to be during winter months, so California Scheming sat on my bedside table early this winter. Thought I would let you know that my daughter, Lucy Howe, is nothing like your character (thank goodness). Was a hoot when first introduced to the character, and was always curious if you found her name somewhere, or made up out of the blue? I own and operate an organic dairy farm in Tunbridge, and would welcome you anytime. Keep up the good work, hoping there may be more?

As usual life has kicked in and I'm behind on everything! Nothing personal, believe me! I hope you like Moonlighting. Let me know after you're finished. Even if you didn't like it! Feedback is valuable. Hi Nan, Sorry I haven’t responded. As usual life has kicked in and I’m behind on everything! Nothing personal, believe me! I hope you like Moonlighting.

My dyslexic fingers mistyped my own email addy--can you tell I've been at this editing gig way too long??!? Once again in case my email screw-up keeps you from seeing my note: Kate, on a more one-on-one note, I’m really excited to read your books! I’m a writer too, as well as a copyeditor. My two mainstream romance novels are currently with my agent, Maureen Walters at Curtis Brown, who’s shopping them for me. I’m working on a third–a romantic mystery, so I’m doubly pleased to be able to read your mysteries. Will start Moonlighting tonight when I close up shop–working on a bodacious editing gig that’s sucking the life out of me! Smiling at you, Nancy Reinhardt DUH!!!

Been trying to reach you via email and FB for a month or so. Since you are a fabulous writer and have been an actor, answering service operator, assistant to the dean of a medical school, instructional assistant, computer instructor and a number of other amazing things - we know you would make a fabulous cohost at the DEC 2010 massmouth.com story slam. Our story slam series has been playing to full rooms since it started in October 26th 2009. Each month we ask someone from the wider community of literature, stand up comedy, theater, TV, radio or improv to share our stage. It is unpaid work but we can offer you and a guest dinner and drinks and, if you are not too picky - 2 of our four children and my husband live in a small basement apartment in the city and we could attempt some form of hospitality ( see how I danced around the plural of bed?) We thought you might like this opportunity to cross-promote, sell books and tell stories on the theme: "secrets". You would be assisted by a massmouth storyteller/emcee. Included below is some information about our story slams: After massmouth’s first story slam season which included 9 SRO story slams, a SRO city wide competition at the Rabb Hall, Copley Library and participation in a national story slam competition, we are expanding our venue’s and slams in Greater Boston. Audiences are demanding more! Branching out to Somerville, Jamaica Plain, North Dorchester with massmouth “expansion team” that add to venues in Cambridge and our home base in downtown Boston; Kennedys Midtown, 5 minutes from Park Street Station. All the details are at massmouth.com massmouth promotes and creates story in live performance. We intend to renew the timeless art of storytelling by building a new audience and engaging a new generation of tellers using digital capture of live performance in non traditional venues (apple orchards, street corners, in front of NE Aquarium). We are in dialogue with our audience in real time and through web 2.0. Based on a poetry slam format and similar to American Idol, a story slam is a contest of words by known and undiscovered talent. massmouth posts a theme on it's website and story slammers will sign up on the night to tell a 5-minute story on the evening's theme. A lucky ten names will be drawn at random. Other audience members may feel moved to join in on a judging team. Listeners will be engaged in story improv games and other interactive entertainments between each 5 minute feature. A teams of 5 judges evaluates each of the featured 5 minute stories it on how well it is told, how well it is constructed and how well relates to the theme. The highest-scoring tellers are awarded prizes and an opportunity to perform at the "the big mouthoff" at the Copley Library, April 26th, 2011. Sincerely yours, Norah Dooley 617-460-3544 Dear Kate George:
