The first Jenny Crusie novel that I read was "Fast Women" and I loved the oh-so-real dachshund. I can't wait to meet Fred.

If you just go I-5 you are quite likely to enjoy traffic from one end of the trip to the other.

Being a roofer and a writer, I spend quite a bit of time writing hot sex scenes in sweaty diners with lots of construction people around me. Unfortunately, unlike in romances, you don't want to make out with these stinky males. Hi Jennifer, welcome back!

(This is Brooke, writing under the name Georgia on the blog Odious Woman.) Jennifer, I have told every single person I know about you. Thank you so much for your encouragement and for not, you know, fleeing or anything; that would have been so awkward. Eileen and I are both still very much in the bubble, amazed at your generosity, and how flat-out funny you are (we *so* should have known), and how lucky we were to have met you. Oh! Speaking of whom, she's sending the MS today. Don would kill her if she didn't. ELATED you are coming to Seattle. Please let me ply you and Bob with drinks and then forget to pay. Back off, everyone, she’s mine!

I woke up early on Saturday morning with no real purpose to the day, and so (as usual) I started wasting time on the 'net, only to read that you were going to be at the Surrey conference, and that's only like 35 minutes away from where I live and I had *totally* planned to attend this year and had even started socking a little money away to pay for it, but then August/September/October kinda blurred into each other at work, and I haven't done much writing because my job sucks the life out of me, and then I woke up early on Saturday morning to find out that you were going to be at the conference .... Maybe next year I'll manage to make it. If I write little reminders to myself starting in freaking May, and try not to let my job suck the life out of me. Oh yeah, and try to get back to my writing more seriously. And seriously, next year you've *got* to get out of Surrey and see some sights. I'm just saying. Vancouver & area is pretty nice.

Um, you know Brooke Chapman up there? The one who said she loves your books and tried to make out with you?

First, I read an agent's blog saying that someone, as part of their pitch, offered to show them her boobs. Now, you post that someone offered to make out with you. What's in the water up there? Heh. I bet Bob is wishing he'd been on the receiving end of either/both of those offers. Maybe next year. I knew I wanted to go to Surrey, but I didn’t know it was that outrageous.

I may not make out, but i am willing to settle for soem cuddling..that may sound creepy considering that this is my first post in your forum. I have been a fan for a long time, and just recently got back rave reviews from my absentee best friend, who had decided in her four month summer vacation in kenya was giving up reading romance, and it was only intellectual stuff for her (she is currently reading the Bhagavat Gita for pure intellectual purposes); like i am sure any one of you, I merely laughed and called her a snob, and handed her a copy of Bet Me. Don't worry, I got her back on our side. This post was meant more as a thank you to you Ms. Crusie for keeping me entertained until your next book gets released, and also preventing me from pulling my hair out during my crazed midterm week, (what in God's name possessed me to go back to school to get another degree, I'll never know...I secretly blame the water up here in Canada, it's not right to put too much flouride into our taps). Glad you enjoyed the airports out in BC, next time try to come into Ontario. You have quite a few fans out here too, who would be willing to break into your hotel room just to worship the ground you walk on. whew!
