2008-10-14T07:12:00.000-07:00

Got a question this morning - Marisa and I are very close, and that means that sometimes we know what the other is thinking before they voice it. What about you? Ever had any sort of 'telepathy' with someone?

Good morning! Hi Tawny - It's true when you share...

2008-10-14T07:11:00.000-07:00

Good morning!

Hi Tawny - It's true when you share your deep feelings with someone, they always get you.

Hi Suzanne - I think it's terrific to be able to stay friends with someone that long. I think only my sisters have been able to stand me for so many years.

Andrea - Smooches back!

Lori Foster in the house - I'm THRILLED!

Welcome to Quills, ladies! It's wonderful to have you here. I'm running behind currently, so I'll try to read all the posts before saying much. ;-)
Hugs,

Lori

2008-10-14T05:35:00.000-07:00

Howdy, Maria and Marisa! Fancy meeting you here. ;)

Besides my hubby (who is a great secret keeper), my sister Trisha is my secret keeper. Despite the difference in our ages (16 years), we are so much alike sometimes it's scary.

Smooches to you both!
Andrea

Good morning ladies of RWQ! I love reading your blog. Hey Maria and Marissa, another Bandit (the vampire one) dropping in during the night to say hi! It's great to see how you go through so many things together. My best friend growing up and I did lots of things together. And even though we live in different towns we became grandmothers just a few months apart this year!

Hi Ladies!! I heard rumor in the lair that you we...

2008-10-13T22:18:00.000-07:00

Hi Ladies!! I heard rumor in the lair that you were here sharing dancing tips and had to stop by and see if I could learn something ;-)

What a great interview. I'd have to say my best friend is my hubby, with my oldest daughter coming in second on the list. My CP, Beth Andrews is right there too, because we can share anything and everything and she always gets me. Too bad she lives all the way across the country *pout*

2008-10-13T18:09:00.000-07:00

Maria, my sis and I are like that. The inside joke thing. Snork. We frequently crack ourselves up, daily basis. Ha! She just sent me a funny a few minutes ago...ROFLMAO. So, yeah, I get that!

Well duh - I didn't realize you two were twins. LO...

2008-10-13T17:26:00.000-07:00

Well duh - I didn't realize you two were twins. LOL

Great post. I love RNTV. You two do a great public service - seriously.

My husband is definitely my best friend, and I'm his. You get that way after a long marriage. But I still have some very, very, very good friends for when you need that women-only kind of understanding.

2008-10-13T16:44:00.000-07:00

Actually Jeanne - Marisa and I spend a GREAT deal of time laughing. Usually no one else gets it. It's just Marisa and I laughing our fool heads off... sometimes people even stare.

Bwah-ha-ha! The Bandits are fond of invasions...and cabana boys...and rum...and sheild sledding...

Grins.

Its fun to hear about how you shore up one another's strengths and compensate for that not-so-strong points. And laughter fixes anything, doesn't it?

2008-10-13T16:27:00.000-07:00

It's a bandita invasion.
Hi Cassandra, so glad to see you here and isn't this a great site!

Thanks for your kind words, but really, it's the authors and readers that keep Maria and I going.

Hey Jo - thanks so much. And yes, Maria and I are so close we scare people. We tend to work in tandem shoring up each others strengths and weaknesses. It seems to work for us. It's been a life time of trial and error - along with too many laughs to count.

Hi, Maria and Marisa, popping over from Romance Bandits to say what a great job you two are doing on RomanceNovelTV!

How fun for the both of you to be so close as sisters and twins!

Sadly, Maria, it IS all in the hips! ;-)

2008-10-13T15:05:00.000-07:00

Hey Ladies! (another Bandita waving madly as she dashes from the writing cave to the bar and back. Anna Campbell has been hogging the cabana boys in the lair again--can't get service worth a darn!)

I have never been to this site and now I'm wondering WHY! This is GREAT! And y'all know we're fans of RNTV. Love the work you do over there.

And oh, speaking of dancing--I'd kill for a dancer's body again, and I didn't even mind being constantly sore--I didn't wake up a day without sore muscles--but in a way I got used to it and it was a good kind of sore you know? But I wasn't very good. Not big stage kind of good, and I don't like being bad at stuff. It's my besetting sin--not wanting to do anything I can't do really well. Makes writing as an unpub a real pita actually.

Sites like yours and the cool network of people you cultivate keep us all going through those times we want to quit. Just wanted to pop in and say thank you for that....and it's neat to learn a bit about the two of you. I knew you were twins, but didn't know anything more.

2008-10-13T14:25:00.000-07:00

Jeanne - the operative word here is WERE. Yes we were both dancers and some days when I wake up in the morning I'd kill to have that body again. But 8 - 10 hours a day in a dance studio is no longer my idea of a good time. However, with a little coaxing I can be persuaded to do a two step every now and again.

Christine - so good to see you here - and I'm so glad you like the interviews. It is great good fun to see the women behind the pages.

2008-10-13T13:55:00.000-07:00

Marisa - your idea of evil is accidentally dropping a gum wrapper on the street and not picking it up.

Jeanne, I doubt either you or Anna have lead feet....

2008-10-13T13:54:00.000-07:00

Jeanne, I doubt either you or Anna have lead feet. Remember it's all in the hips my dear!

2008-10-13T13:50:00.000-07:00

Maria, I can be evil when I want to be. After all I grew up in The Bronx.

2008-10-13T13:47:00.000-07:00

Oooh, interviews with the RWQs in DC? I have a venue for you...heehee. (I live in DC)

Its so cool that you were both dancers. Like Anna, I so envy that. Now our Bandita Trish is a Boogie Nights kind of gal. Anna claims to have lead feet. I fall somewhere in the middle. Remember the scene in Dirty Dancing at the beginning party where Baby's just getting into the rhythm and the music stops? She's all out of kilter and awkward looking. That would be me. Snork. Wish I could say I went on to dance as well as she does, but I seem to be stuck in that music-stops-I'm-still-moving moment.

I can do a heck of a karate kata though...

Hi Christine! Hi Joan! So glad you came by.You k...

2008-10-13T13:45:00.000-07:00

Hi Christine! Hi Joan! So glad you came by.

You know the one thing I didn't mention is the very significant way in which Marisa and I are different - She is soooo nice and I'm definitely the evil twin... it makes for a great pair. I keep trying to get her to come over to my evil ways, but she won't have any of it.

And Joan - we do have some the best reviewers around. I love them all, and they are readers that love romance - you can't ask for a better fit.

Marisa and I are going to the NJ RWA conference next weekend, and we'll be interviewing several authors there. For us it will be a total fan girl moment. We love when we get up close and personal to the authors...it's really exciting for us.

Wow, Maria and Marisa! I have a dancer hidden with...

2008-10-13T13:32:00.000-07:00

Wow, Maria and Marisa! I have a dancer hidden within me...really, really deep.

I envy that physical ability as much as I envy your getting to hang out with all my favorite authors!

Oh, also. Just wanted to say you've got a great team of reviewers too (PJ, Buffie, Gannon and Andrea). It was so much fun meeting them in Atlanta last weekend!

2008-10-13T13:24:00.000-07:00

Maria and Marisa, thank you for making such a difference to the romance world! Living in Australia, I'd never seen most romance authors or heard them speak and it was a real eye-opener to watch them be interviewed on RNTV.

I so envy you that special relationship you have. I always wanted to be a twin. Thanks for sharing your story! And thanks for having the Ms on RWQ, Jayne.
