  1. Like it is hard to not like a Seekerville book ;)

    So many fabulous authors so little time. :o)

    It is truly a wonderful honor to share my love for your books on Critty Joy <3's books.... and the valuable tips I have learned here and the new authors discovered here make me so glad y'all reside in this lovely corner of the interwebs.

  3. Coffee's ready!!

    Goody, goody, gum drop. I get Ruthie's new book with ME in it. I had planned to look for it in Springfield next week. Now I don't have to.

    Don't have time to read all those links now. Church in the morning, and we're losing an hour. Need to get some sleep.

    My Tips notebook is getting thicker from all the articles I print from Seekerville. THANK YOU for the unselfish way you share with and encourage others.

    And thanks, Tina, for posting all those links. I've discovered some new blogs! :)

  11. I so LOVE those Seekerville books!

    And since I lost an hour's sleep (in addition to not sleeping well anyway) thanks Ms Helen for the coffee!!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Ah, Crittyjoy, you're a treasure. And the tips???

    Life should be all about sharing. Always.

    Bless you.

    Kelinator!!!! ;) Hugs to you, did you leave food? I'm starving. Stale cookies? M&Ms??? Nothing????

    Helen, yes!!! The book with you in it, my friend! And you manage to be a presence throughout this series and I don't think I've created any characters better-drawn than Helen Walker, the CEO of Walker Electronics.

    Sage and savvy. I love her!!!

  13. Eva Maria, back at ya'. The back and forth, the chats, the brainstorming that goes on here...

    NONE of that would be possible without the entire village of Seekerville gathering 'round the tables of food. Talking. Eating. Praising God. Praying. And then more talking and eating, of course.

    And let me just say, I'm glad God made men.

    I'm just sayin'.... ;)

  14. "We heart you all???"

    Camy, I need an interpreter here.

    Is that like the t-shirt thing? With the heart in place of love????

    Sign me,

    Slightly confused in Upstate, but...

    Loving Seekerville. And all my buds.

  15. Missy, that's a hoot!

    We have one that changes, but I couldn't remember if it was the one that changed correctly or the old one (that died a year or so ago) that was on the OLD daylight savings time...

    A little disconcerting TWICE A YEAR when your clock changes on the wrong weekends.

    But a great twist to put in a book. ;)

  16. Okay, Sunday morning FEAST FOR YOU ALL!!!!

    Step up to the buffet and sample as you wish:

    Ham, with or without pineapple sauce.

    Sliced steamship round of beef...

    Sausage, bacon or scrapple...

    Eggs, scrambled, with cheese and green pepper....

    Eggs plain...

    Hand-picked selection of NYC bagels because NO ONE does it better than NYC when it comes to bagels...

    Toppings for the bagels include cream cheese assortment, jellies, salmon, onions, your choice...

    Muffins from "Merry Muffin Mayhem"...

    Fresh butter.

    Orange juice. Apple juice.

    Mimosas made by none other than Captain Jack himself.

    Danish provided by Jackson's Bakery of Rochester New York...

    Potato bake provided by Ruthy... Home-made, to-die-for high-carb, high-calorie goodness, hot and cheesy-melty... Do not miss this!

    Texas toast for the non-bagelers among us.

    Relax. Sit back. Enjoy. This feast is all about YOU!

    Let us wait on you hand and foot because God truly blessed us when he gathered us all together in Seekerville.

  18. Thanks to all of you for the reading pleasure.

    Thanks for the new blogs I am about to discover from your list.

    Thanks Ruthy for the big old breakfast.

    Not really thankful that I am up this early but it will be worth it later when I am puttering in the garden late in the day.

    Peace, Julie

  19. Ah, me lovelies, 'tis a fine Sunday mornin' and the ladies of Seekerville have run me ragged this week, ye ken???

    First havin' all kinds of fun to blazin' on the island with Miss Barbara Vey and her crew of friends (although 'twasn't exactly a HARDSHIP to entertain the ladies, savvy???) and then....

    They drug me off to a shopping emporium the likes of which an old pirate like me has never seen...

    But thoroughly enjoyed. And from what I saw in that shoppers paradise, me thinks that the lovely Miss Victoria has precious few secrets, indeed!

    But I'm here now, and ready to fill your requests at the coffee bar. I'm yours, ladies, except for a possible mid-day nap, ye' know, catchin' up on me beauty sleep an' all, or just catchin' up on the ladies!

    Although I'm wonderin' out loud why no one's invited me to come visit their blog, knowin' these gals like I do.

    The way only a bloke who's shared an Island with fifteen women COULD know them.

    And I can be bought. ;)

    So step up and let the thank you party commence!

    Mimosas all around! And latte's for our just awakening!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Ahhh, my favorite blog with the nicest ladies around. You gals are awesome and I have learned so much from the wisdom you have to offer! Keep it comin'! :)

    ReplyDelete
  21. You're thanking us? We should be thanking you for all the wonderful advice you give.

    In honor of DST, I've made more coffee. Going to a different church this morning as one of my nephews is performing there.

    JACK! I see you recovered from all the young beach bunnies and island rum. How's your headache? LOL. Glad to have you back, even if you are a bit unruly when we take you somewhere. :-)

    Sherrinda, that is the nicest compliment! Thanks for your readership of our blog. We are so appreciative of all of you.

  41. Aye, Cheryl, lass, I've recovered mightily but 'twas a struggle. A bit of a crick in my neck from star-gazin', no doubt.

    Ah, but what a fine week for all me friends. Old...

    and new...

    And I see that Mary Connealy's brought more fresh beef for the table and a man needs to keep his fires stoked.

    So to speak.

    And a bit thirsty here, ladies, so I'm manning the coffee bar.

    Requests taken...

    Smiles guaranteed.

    Like Eva Maria said, you all give us the gift of your knowledge and will to share and teach and spread the word. Heart ALL Of YOU!

    And yes, I'm guilty... I'm one of your lurkers sometimes. This 9-5 thing I go to every day takes away from my websurfing... :)

We couldn't do this without you guys, and we LOVE YOU LOTS!!!

    A Pirate's Ode to Blogger:

    A friend to me,
    You are, kind sir,
    On every other Sunday.

    Except the one I need you for,
    When you pretend it's Fun Day.

    But not for our dear friends, kind sir...

    For their time should not be wasted!

    But I shall raise a glass in toast
    for all the great reads tasted!

  50. Congrats to Winners
    (I’m one)
    & to another
    Seeker Anniversary!


    Thanks!

    I won a 10-page critique by Sandra Byrd. This will be the first outside look at my 120,000 word “Characters in a Romance”. Next step will be contests. I’m very happy – at least, for now. I feel like a mother bird kicking her chick out of the nest. : ) I’m polishing the ten pages right now.

    Do I send the entry to the Seeker email or to Sandra’s?


    TINA: Those are really great links. I love finding new blogs that offer interesting insights. BTW: Blogger is like one of those romance characters who take on a life of their own and won’t behave. You have to show them who is boss!

    RUTH: I’m writing the questions for the Trent Michaels “Reunited Hearts” interview. I’ll take question suggestions from anyone who wants to leave them here today.

    JULIE: Love your new cover. Is that Emma on the cover? Your covers are like a fashion history.

    CHERYL: Congrats on your new series. I think you have the most heroic heroes. But then you start with actual heroes. Pretty good idea. Will there be any PJs or ex-PJs in the Eagle Point Emergency center?

    Remember: Time is relative.

    Vince

    ReplyDelete
  51. Has anyone noticed that there's a pirate lurking in Seekerville today? He seems harmless...but that look in his eye...it's a bit unnerving. And he's given to strange outbursts of pirate rants.

    Cheryl, congrats on your new series with Love Inspired! I'm excited to start reading it! 2012 seems too far away. Luckily there's lots of other lovely Seekerville releases to help countdown to your release date! LOL

    Julie -- the cover is gorgeous -- very compelling and different. Love the tilt of her chin -- it's like she's daring me to open the book and start reading.

    thank you Seekerville -- you're definitely a blessing in my life!

As it is, you already are and I consider you all a lil like family in a sense. So thank you so much for opening your arms to me, personally, and everyone else that you have also.

  82. Tina, they're now saying it's a false alarm (though CNN is still showing it as active) Apparently, there have been several false alarms today. This was another one.

  83. Kym, so glad you stopped by! We have tons of fun here.

    Walt! I just saw that. Praying it IS a false alarm. Hugs to your wife and all our friends in Japan!

  88. Kym,
    So good to see you in Seekerville! You were on Barbara's blog non-stop, right?

    Aren't you exhausted, honey?

    Grab a hammock and take a nap. Helen will have the coffee ready first thing in the morning.

  91. Oh its like our violet crumble or Crunchie (the honeycomb covered in chocolate) which I do love.
    not sure I would give my password for a pound of it but it is yummy. I actually love it in icecream like the new zealanders have.

  93. Oh, Susanna! I'm so sorry, dear, you've had so much going on in your life!

    Please know I'm praying for you. And for your Dad. And you've been pretty darn tough throughout all of this.

    God bless you, honey. With continued strength, courage and peace.

  95. Angela, dear one, PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE CRAZY LADY WHO KNOWS NOT WHO SHE IS....

    Remember, I'm the NICE Seeker.

    That's all anyone needs to know, right???

    And Melanie, quality time with Trent and Alyssa in Reunited Hearts is a wonderful thing. ;)

    I heartily recommend it!

  96. Crumble???

    Oh yum, sponge candy by any other name is still DELICIOSA!

    Jenny, no I don't want YOUR password.

    You send me candy.

    I'll give you TEEEEENA's. Then you can go into Blogger and mess things up the way Mary did...

    And post with Tina's identity.

    And I get chocolatey-melty goodness.

    Everybody wins! ;)

  100. VINCE ... yes, that's supposed to be Emma on the cover. She was, before the scarring, supposed to be as beautiful as Charity.

    KAV SAID: "Love the tilt of her chin -- it's like she's daring me to open the book and start reading. Oh, Kav, thank you SOOO much!! I actually worried that the tilt made her seem too hard, something that is not Emma at all, so I appreciate your encouragement.

    HANNAH ... thank you, sweetie!! Hope you are having a VERY special week!! :)

    Hugs,
    Julie
