I don't know if you know this or not, *big grin* but there was a book that came out a couple of years ago now that I went - well - kind of nuts over. In case you missed it, the book wasBroken Wingby Judith James. I had to read it 5 times before I could move onto another book.
And while her next book, Highland Rebel didn't have quite the same effect, it's rare that a book knocks me that sideways, it only happens every few years and when it does - watch out :-), I really did love Highland Rebel.
I was cruising Fiction DB not long ago and saw that her third book was coming out in what I thought was July - but now it might be August - whatever the month - this is one of my most highest anticipated book of the whole year.
I tried finding a picture of the cover, but couldn't find it anywhere. So I emailed Judith and asked if she had seen the cover and where I might find it to add to my sidebar. She emailed me back - attaching the cover!!! YES!!
So here it is - she's writing for HQN now and they gave her a fabulous cover. I was looking for a blurb but didn't find one. BUT I do know from what Judith wrote in her email that:
"It's a 17th Restoration love story between a Cavalier and a Puritan woman who were childhood friends."
Does that sound cool and different or what!?!?
Libertine's Kiss
I know time flies, but I hope it really flies until I get this one in my hot little hands!!
*~*~*~*~*UPDATE*~*~*~*~*
Ahhhh- through the power of Twitter and the friends on Twitter, I've found a description:
Abandoned by his cavalier father at a young age, William de Veres grew up knowing precious little happiness. But William has put the past firmly behind him and as a military hero and noted rake, he rises fast in the ranks of the hedonistic Restoration court. Until he is forced to seek shelter from a young Puritan woman...
The civil wars have cost the once-high-spirited Elizabeth Walters her best friend and her father, leaving her unprotected and alone. She flees an unwanted marriage, seeking safe haven, but what she finds is something she never expected. When her kindness and her beauty bring her to the attention of William, and then the king, she will have a choice to make. After all, can a notorious libertine really be capable of love?
A while ago Orannia issued a challenge for anyone who hadn't read Broken Wing, to read this book. Since everyone and their mother (and father and brother and sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbours and so on) know by now how much I adore this book - it's numero uno on my all time favourite book list now, I've been following said challenge.
Those who took up the gauntlet had until the end of July to read and report their thoughts. If I'm missing some, please let me know!! But from what I've been following, Orianna was the first to report in with her thoughts.
Amy of Aymless's Thought's on Books and Life (and who I got to 'hang' with in DC - and what fun she is) has just blogged about what she thought of it too!
And I had an interesting chat with the people of Source books, publishers of her next release Highland Rebel, in DC and they told me that Broken Wing was the best selling book Medallion has had. I don't know if this is true or not - but if it is - a big huge SCORE!! for blogger buzz 'cause I can't help but think that all us bloggers who have read and loved this book and blogged about it have been a contributing factor in it's doing so well!!
Yes indeed, another reader has fallen under the spell of Broken Wing by Judith James. Heather of Heather's Reading Romance writes about her love of this book here.
Yep - the quest is moving on and getting bigger. I need to update my sidebar, which always involves working with HMTL *shudder* but here's a few updates.
Taja of Books and Games read it! And while she wasn't knocked upside the head the way I and a couple of others were, she liked it and is recommending it.
Now that I know Wendy and The Man are OK and except for some smoke damage, I can report that when she had to evacuate, guess what one of the books she took was?
Leslie W read it and it just wasn't for her. That's going to happen of course. But....she had a contest and Brie was the lucky winner. (I love her background by the way)
Aztec Lady was the lucky winner at Romance Novel TV so I expect her to report in in the not too distant future.
Check out Karen's sidebar and see what one of the books she's reading is :-)
Sula's looking for the hottest Books to Read - and guess what I told her? And best of all - I wasn't the first - heh heh heh.
So! As any one who has been to this blog in the last little while knows, I recently read a book that awed me; that rocked my reading world, that caused me to do strange and unusual things - even for me - to start A Quest! As a matter of fact, I still haven't been able to leave this book and I'm reading it for a unheard of fourth time almost in a row. It was so special that I knew I had to do all that I could to promote it. So with that in mind, I contacted the author to see if she would be willing to do an interview. She wrote back and said she would be delighted to. Since the book officially releases today, Though in Canada the official release day is November 8, we often get them early so I thought what better day to post the interview. I'm new at this, but I hope you enjoy!
I'm pleased to introduce Judith James the author of Broken Wing
(the book that's rocked my socks)
KJ: It doesn’t specify really in the book and it didn’t take one iota away from my enjoyment (and I hope many others) but it was never really made clear how old Gabriel was.I figured Sarah was about 21, but I could quite decide about Gabriel.How old was he?
Judith:Hi, Kristie. First thanks so much for inviting me! I love your blog and I certainly appreciate your enthusiastic support of Broken Wing. I think of you almost as a fairy godmother with exquisite taste in music and books, taking Gabriel and Sarah to the ball, LOL. I can’t thank you enough for taking an interest in this book, and I’m really looking forward to answering your questions.
Thanks also for allowing me to clear up any confusion about Gabriel’s age. Part of the problem is that it ISN’T clear. Gabriel can never be certain how old he really is. He was abandoned at a young age, and sold to a brothel. He had to make up a last name to sign a contract, and no one has ever marked, celebrated, or told him when his birthday is. No one knows, so he pretty much has to guess. He tells Sarah that the night on her balcony was the night his life began, and I think that’s how they’d celebrate his birthday together. That being said, there are clues to his age but they were given in separate scenes, which might be the cause of some confusion. Again, thanks for the opportunity to clear it up. In one of his early conversations with Sarah, in the music room, Gabriel tells her he thinks he was about fourteen when he was sent to de Sevigny’s, and was there for two years before returning to Madam’s. Jamie arrived shortly after that, as Sarah reminds him later in the story, and he took care of him for about five years, so at the time the story begins, he is about 21, and when it ends about 25, the same age as Sarah, give or take a year or two.
KJ:I am finding it very difficult to leave this book behind as a reader.As the writer – the creator – of these characters, how hard is it for you to say good bye to them?
Judith:Oh good question, Kristie! In some ways I haven’t really. It’s my first book, and I think that’s a bit like your first love, it will always hold a special place in heart. I really felt a sense of loss when I sent the final proofs off, as if something was over I didn’t want to end. I did put it all aside while I was writing A Time For Treason, and I found myself immersed in a different and utterly fascinating world, but then the author copies came and I was able to sit and read it as a book, and then the questions, LOL, which take me right back inside. This might sound a little strange, but I love my characters and think of them in a way as old friends. I can visit them whenever I want by going back to the book, and of course…I can always start writing and find out what happens to them next. I certainly expect to be revisiting from time to time.
KJ:And in a similar vein, I’m sure you will get asked this so I may as well be the first – the secondary characters are also so vividly written.Might there be a story for any of them?Ross maybe, or Davey or Charles?And if so, will you be revisiting Sarah and Gabriel?
Judith:Actually, the first person to ask that was my editor, Janet Bank. I think she was very curious about Ross. While I was writing Broken Wing, I kept jotting things down about all of them. Ross is a bit of an iceberg in more ways than one. He’s rather calm, cool, and collected, but all you see of him is the tip. I do have a storyline for him tucked away. He has quite a few secrets, some Davey knows, some are his alone, and some would be a great surprise to everyone. I also have a story in mind for Jacques, with help from Davey, Sarah and Gabriel. I think Jacque’s story would come first in an over all story arc, but any story about the characters from Broken Wing will have to wait for now.
KJ:I thought you did an excellent job of portraying the anguish, the loneliness of Gabriel.Was it hard to write something that dark?
Judith:You like the tough questions! I worked with male survivors for several years, and listening to their stories almost brought me to tears at times. That was hard, and believe me, the things that happened to Gabriel didn’t just spring from my imagination, I actually pulled a few punches. But they were such wonderful people; talented, funny, intelligent, and trying so hard to take back lives that had been stolen from them by the people who were supposed to love and protect them, they were all heroic in a way to me, so yes, it’s very dark, but inside that dark is this incredible light and courage. Writing Gabriel’s story was hard in that I wanted to be honest, and show how dark and terrible some peoples lives’ were, and how beautiful they were despite it. I was very worried that I might not do that justice, or that the darker aspects might turn people away. I’m sure it will for some.
KJ:What impressed me was for a first time published author, how well Broken Wing was written.How long have you been writing and how long has it taken to be published?
Judith:Thank you, Kristie! And thanks for asking this question. I’ve been writing for about three and a half years, but I’ve been a voracious and eclectic reader for years, and I’ve been telling stories in my head since childhood. Broken Wing was my first manuscript and took about 10 months to write, and another good year to find an agent and a publisher. Like everyone starting out, I received a lot of rejections, generally along the lines that it wasn’t really marketable or wouldn’t fit a given line. It was too dark, the main characters spent too much time apart, it had too much violence, romance readers weren’t ready for a character like Gabriel, there was too much history and adventure for a romance, and too much romance for an adventure. I couldn’t bring myself to make some of the changes people suggested and was about to put it aside when Medallion offered to buy it. They actually loved the things others wanted changed, and pretty much left the story intact. I’ll always be grateful to them for that. I was very lucky that they, and my agent Bob Diforio, were willing to take a risk on an unknown author with a book that didn’t quite fit the mold.
KJ:It seems you have done a lot of research for this book.It used to be that I learned a lot of interesting new things by reading historical romance but not so much anymore.How important do you think research into the time and setting in a historical is?
Judith:Another very interesting, but somewhat tricky question, LOL. I suppose it depends on the kind of historical you’re reading, when it takes place, and the kind of story you prefer. I love big involving historical adventures like Gary Jennings Aztec, the I Claudius series by Robert Graves,Dorothy Dunnett’s Francis Crawford series, or Sunne in Splendour by Sharon Kay Penman. You expect rich juicy accurate details from those.I also think it depends on the time period and place you’re writing about.If it’s one people are less familiar with, I think you need to work a bit harder to make it realistic and reasonably accurate, to give the reader a sense of place and being there.On the other hand, the regency period has become so popular in story and in film, that most romance readersalready have a very good sense of the time and place.In that case, I don’t think an author necessarily has to go to the same lengths to bring the reader into the story.
It also depends on your mood and what you want at any given time I think. If it’s light entertainment and escapism after a rough week, historical detail might just annoy you. If it’s to challenge and stimulate and go some place you’ve never been, then historical detail or world building, depending on the genre, is something you’re going to want an appreciate.. I actually enjoy the research, and I have to keep reminding myself that people might not be as excited by the details as I am. I have to say though, that I enjoy history woven into what I read, and I tend to check every thing I’m uncertain of in my own stories. I’ve missed the big historicals, (which is one of the reasons I tried to write my own). They seem to have fallen from favor somewhat over the years, but I think and hope there’s still room for all kinds of different stories.
KJ:I’m not going to ask who your favourite authors are – that’s always a tricky one – but are there any that have been an inspiration for you?
Judith:Now that’s a very good way to ask! I could never do justice to the favorite authors question as there are just too many, but there are also several who have been an inspiration for me and my writing. In regards to romance, Mary Jo Putney’s The Rake, with an alcoholic hero made me sit up and take notice. I think she was the first I read to dare that in a romance and pull it off. Laura Kinsale, Anne Stuart, Laura Leone, and Katherine Sutcliffe touch on heretofore forbidden topics. Dorothy Dunnet’s Francis Crawford series just blew me away with a genre bending intoxicating blend of history, adventure, and a fantastic love story with the hero as main character. Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander was genre bending, historically rich, and touched on some dark topics, and George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones turned the fantasy world on it’s head with a rule breaking gritty saga of morally ambiguous characters tested and challenged in a complex world. All of these stories convinced me you could write outside the box, though I was beginning to doubt it after a slew of rejections. Julianne MacLean really inspired me on a personal level, to trust my instincts, write the stories I wanted to write, and keep on going. She’s one of the most gracious and generous authors I know, a really lovely person, and to have an author of her stature offer such genuine encouragement and support at a time when I really needed it, made me actually believe, for the first time, that I could have a career as a writer.
KJ:Moving along – though *sigh* I’d love to stay with Gabriel and Sarah, I see on your website that you have two new books coming out.Do you have a time frame for their release?And will it be with Medallion too?
Judith:Although I have two other books in my library, only one of them has been sold. A Time For Treason was sold to Sourcebooks, and could be released as early as next fall. The Dark Within is a paranormal I’m just finishing now. I’ll be sending it out there soon, but it doesn’t have a home yet.
KJ:Your next book takes place in Cromwellian England – that is a rather unusual time period – and just, injecting my own thoughts for a moment – a book that sounds fascinating – what made you choose this unusual time frame?
Judith:So it was you that visited my website!!! Well, Jamie, the hero, was born during Cromwell’s rule, but it might be more accurate to call it Stuart England, as Jamie serves all three Stuart kings that followed, Charles II, his brother James II, and then William of Orange. He’s a cynic, a pragmatist, and a spy, who switches happily from Catholic to Protestant, depending on who he’s serving. I was actually researching the court poet Rochester (played by Johnny Depp in the Libertine), for a future story, and I fell in love with the time period. There was so much going on with politics, religion, philosophy, and thought. The court was incredibly hedonistic, woman had far more liberty than they would for centuries after, and it’s so rich with history, personalities and potential. Rochester’s real life story was just too dark and intense for me right after Broken Wing, but I fell in love with Cat and Jamie’s story, and it pretty much wrote itself. I do want to go back and do a story loosely based on Rochester sometime down the road.
KJ:The book after that seems unusual too – see I did do my homework.But it seems to be a time travel.Can you give us a bit more details – and again my own thoughts – I love a good time travel.
Judith:Boy did you ever! The Dark Within is another genre bender. It’s a modern day ghost story, kind of Phantom of the Opera meets Ghost Hunters, where the phantom gets the girl, but it does have elements of time travel, mainly as the ghostly hero/villian’s flash backs in book one, and as real events in book two. It seems whatever I do, I somehow end up back in time.
KJ:In our recent ‘chat’, Katie and I had fun picturing who would make a good Gabriel.Since he’s such a vividly written character, did you have anyone in mind while writing about him?
Judith:Oh my yes!Though keep in mind, mysister told me of her enjoyment of Outlander and was forever tarnished when she picked up a
version that had a redheaded cover of the hero that looked nothing like she’d imagined him.That being said, certainly several images that inspired me while I wrote were of Johnny Depp in The Libertine; dark
and tormented, long haired, dissipated, tall, androgynous, heartbreakingly beautiful both to men and women, yet something so lost about him.He’s whom I’d pick for a movie version LOL.
Judith also wanted to know about giving away a copy of this wonderful book. Ohhh yes, I said, that would be great. So, all you have to do is comment, ask a question (she said she would drop by and answer) let us know what's so attractive about a tortured hero ---- whatever----- and Judith has a copy to be won!!
~*~*~UPDATE~*~*~
Thanks so much to Judith for her wonderful interview and topping by with her wonderful answers!! In case you haven't checked, Dev is the lucky (and I really mean lucky, lucky) winner as picked by Judith.
I'm headed for bed now but I'll be back tomorrow to explain why I've been MIA the past couple of days. Yep, you guessed it - another obsession. It's a good thing I recognize this about me.
KristieJ:So... Broken Wing. What are your thoughts on it? I don't think you were quite as bowled over as I was
KatieBabs:I thought it was a lovely historical romance, everything I look forward to in a book from a luscious romance, tortured, angsty hero and the heroine who is his soul mate in every way.
KristieJ:And what did you think of Gabriel? I thought he was just a too die for hero. So damaged; such a lost soul
KatieBabs:OMG Judith made Gabriel go through so, so much!!
KristieJ:But I think it was a good thing that a lot of it we didn't *see* we just heard him tell Sarah about it. I think it would have been a very difficult read if we, the readers, were 'there' while he was going though it.
KatieBabs:I think that is why made this book a winner because of the conversations Gabriel and Sarah hadand what we heard, while Sarah heard it was so emotional
KristieJ:I loved the sense of innocence between them. I thought it very unusual, especially considering Gabriel's past history. But there was such a freshness about them. I truly believed that they became friends before lovers. In so many romance books, the hero/heroine act on their lust for each other before really getting to know each other - but it was the opposite in Broke Wing. I appreciated that.
I just noticed there is a review of this on Amazon that confounds me. "The characters were good. The plot was ok, but there was no spark. I couldn't get excited about anything. It felt like a long story of tragic happenings which finally ended. I wanted it to be over. There is a happy ending. The author talks about historical accuracy and has a glossary of foreign terms in the back of the book, which was nice. However, this almost felt like reading a history book. I wanted more of an emotional connection." I found the exact opposite!I thought the spark was one of the best things about this book. And I thought there was an amazing emotional connection.
KatieBabs:I love how Gabriel is a bit unsteady around Sarah, like he is a toddler taking his first steps.
KristieJ:He's just waiting for her to think the worst of him - and she never does. It confuses him.
KatieBabs:I loved that part and he tries to seduce her and she doesn't fall for it
KristieJ:you mean where he disappears into his other self and she pulls him back?
KatieBabs:oh yes.
KristieJ:and when she does - he's so afraid that he doesn't know how to make love - this hard shelled former prostitute was so scared and so vulnerable. He was so appealing in that scene wasn't he?
KatieBabs:it was like he had duel personalities
KristieJ:He really did have them didn't he?
KatieBabs:One minute he was this sly seductive lover playing a part and then the next, a lost little boy
KristieJ:Great observation! I think the one was his way of protecting himself - protecting that lost little boy inside. That's why there was such an air of innocence about him - it was the little boy that was so appealing - in a grown up - very sensual, very *row (don't know how to spell it) kind of way
KatieBabs:What did you think of they way He and Sarah would lie in bed and just talk and kiss? I thought it was so sweet!
KristieJ:It was wasn't it? It kind of reminded me (in a good way) of the movie The Blue Lagoon.
KatieBabs:Willie Ames?? LOL
KristieJ:No - Brooke Shields and William Katt. It wasn't a very good movie - but they were too innocent young people just discovering themselves once they grew older
KatieBabs:I always thought that was Willie Ames with Brooke Shields!Willie Ames is no Gabriel. lol
Now of course, after doing some research, I realize that I also, was wrong! Hard to believe - but true. It was Christopher Atkins
KristieJ:Nope *laughing* that's for sure. Cause the other side of Gabriel was this sword wielding, capable person. And then there was the seducer side of him - the one who had to drink in order to do his 'work'.
KatieBabs:the second part of the book reminded me of Captain Blood and Errol Flynn
KristieJ:I know!!!!! Though Sarah wasn't in it- I thought it was still very good reading.
KatieBabs:very much swashbuckling
KristieJ:And I love me some swashbuckling!!!!Now that you mention it - a young Errol Flynn would make a good Gabriel wouldn't he?
KatieBabs:I do too!! And Gabriel does that
KristieJ:When he's swinging that chain - and rescuing his friend Jacques - *shiver*
KatieBabs:I really thought for a moment, that Judith would go there with Jacques, if you know what I mean
KristieJ:*g*......I'm not quite sure what you mean. Gabriel and Jacques being 'very' good friends?
KatieBabs:well Jacques comes across willing to have fun with both men and women and since Gabriel had experience in that and was suffering because of his separation from Sarah, he would allow Jacques to comfort him
KristieJ:I think though - he was a one person hero. Sarah was just IT for him. If he couldn't have her - he would have nobody. And that was a large part of his appeal. Who doesn't love a hero who is that focused, that committed, that there would be no one else - ever?
KatieBabs:And I am so glad he didn't drown his sorrows with other women and kept away from sex because in respect for Sarah
KristieJ:Oh me too!! I may have to hide this part 'cause *grin* the author leads us to believe different. And speaking of Sarah - what did you think of her? Although this is definitely a hero-focused book and there are large parts where Sarah isn't in it, I thought she was a marvelous heroine!!!! I thought her just as strong - if not stronger than Gabriel
KatieBabs:Sarah was a bit too good to be true at times, a little too perfect, but I think she and Gabriel had great chemistry.And don't get me started on when Sarah first kisses Gabriel! Best scenes in the book!
KristieJ:That's why I don't get that other review on Amazon??? I thought there was incredible chemistry between them.*laughing* I know yo
u liked that scene. I think you might have mentioned it a time or two. Kind of like a certain 'cravat'
KatieBabs:Cravat? Whatever do you mean??RICHARD!!-see had to mention him.
Do you notice how we seem to bring him into every one of our ‘chats’?This is a good thing!
KristieJ:This is one of the few books by the way where I just couldn't put Richard in the place of the hero
KatieBabs:if this was made into a movie, could you see Richard playing Gabriel?ooops
KristieJ:ROTFL!!!! so my answer is *laughing* no
KatieBabs:what actor could you see in the role?
KristieJ:I see you suggestion of Errol
Flynn as a great one. I'm just looking for the right picture.Like perhaps this one.
KatieBabs:oh good one! perhaps with better hair though
KristieJ:just a sec - I may have found the perfect one.Here we go
KatieBabs:OMG that picture is perfect
KristieJ:I just saved it *g* Visuals are so good aren't they?
KatieBabs:I really like that picture! We need one of Sarah now
KristieJ:Here's another one that's not too shabby. Not a good Sarah though.
(You see – I was multi-tasking – I
was also looking for pictures of Errol Flynn.)
OMG KATE!!! Check out THIS ONE!!
KatieBabs:that could be the scene in the book when Gabriel pushes Sarah against the wall and kisses her
KatieBabs:wow that is some sword in his pants.wow wow really shows
KristieJ:doesn't leave a whole lot to the imagination does it?That's got to be a joke one that got in there somehow
KatieBabs:you have to post that picture.the lol will roll
KristieJ:they will indeed won't they *guffaw*
KatieBabs:Speaking of what was in Gabriel's pants, what did you think of the sex scenes? I thought they were very well written and beautiful
KristieJ:I did too! In a lot of books I kind of skim over them, but because I was so connected to these two, I read and loved the love scenes.How about Merle Oberon for Sarah? I always loved her - especially in Wuthering Heights
KatieBabs:And Gabriel didn't want to be intimate with Sarah that way at first because he didn’t want to lose their friendship.Oh Merle Oberon would be perfect! If you think of it, Broken Wing has a definite Wuthering Heights feel to it
KristieJ:It does doesn't it? And I know that's one of your all time favourite book.here's a good pic.
KatieBabs:I have it bad for Heathcliff. But Gabriel didn't have those obsessive crazed feelings like Heathcliffe did for Cathy
KristieJ:*thinking* how about Laurence Olivier for Gabriel?
KatieBabs: Perhaps a bit younger? Wasn't Gabriel in his mid 20's?Even though I adore Olivier
Here's a picture that I think might work??
KristieJ:He looks kind of Gabriel like in that pic though - after he's come back and finally trying to woo Sarah again.That's one thing I couldn't quite figure out - how old he was. I'm pretty sure Sarah was around 21 - but I couldn't place Gabrie
l’s age.And one of my questions for Judith *g*
KatieBabs:I would say around 25.
KristieJ:So - the question I'm real curious about *g*. What would you grade this one?
KatieBabs:B+ or A-, Ican’t decide.Help me decide
KristieJ:OK - I'll decide for you *g*A-
KatieBabs:lol
KristieJ:heh heh heh
KatieBabs:I think my problem is, there are so many amazing books this year and Broken Wing is one of them.One small thing is that I felt Gabriel was too tortured. And really, how could he get away with sleeping with Sarah in her room!lol
KristieJ:You mentioned that before. But I didn't really see it. I think Sherrilyn Kenyon overdoes the torturing of the hero - but I thought Judith did a good job of it
KatieBabs:OH I have a question about another book for you
This is where we get sidetracked a bit.
KristieJ: Yeeees?
KatieBabs:it is in regards to a scene in Dreaming of You and since you are a master at that books...You know the scene where the prostitute goes to Sarah after Sarah has left Derek?
KristieJ:does he "do it" with the house wrench? Could that be the question?
KatieBabs:I assumed that Derek just cuddled and slept as in sleep with the prostitute and did not have sex with her.Other fans tell me he had sex with her.I say no! But now I am not sure.Does he do it or is it open to impetration?
KristieJ:It's left open to impetration. Lisa said once she did that on purpose. I took it that he did - but pretended it was Sarah. It didn't bother me since at the time they weren't together - she was engaged to someone else, Derek thought he'd never see her again and Sarah didn't seem troubled - so it never took away from my Derek love.
KatieBabs:oh shucks. I will believe he didn't then.
Here I try to console Katie
KristieJ:LOL - that works.He was pretty deep
into the gin - so maybe he couldn't get it up anyway heh heh
KatieBabs:I can go for that!
But if Derek and Gabriel were in a fight, who would win?
KristieJ:I say this almost reluctantly but truly - Gabriel
KatieBabs:really?? I think Derek would win. More street smarts
Now I get distracted.
KristieJ:I'm going to have to take a break. SYTYC
D in on - a repeat from earlier in the day - and my man Nico is on soon. What did you think of their routine by the way?Carrie emailed me and said 'they are so doing it'
KatieBabs:it was really, really good! Nico is nice
KristieJ:A hawt guy who loves to give hugs and kisses. I can get into that *g*
KatieBabs:LOL!! I would if I were his partner
KristieJ:OK - Nico's on!!
KatieBabs:okay, have fun watching and drooling
So there you have it!By the time I finished watching SYTYCD, Katie had signed off but I think it’s safe to say that Broken Wing gets a bit Thumbs Up from her too!!!!
And since Katie is so fond of the kissing scenes, I found this picture for her.
Oh - and you probably want to see the picture that I found whilst multi-taksing that cracked Katie and I up during our chat - I couldn't post it during the 'chat' portion of this, it would have been wrong - but for those who are curious.......
