And after almost 19 years of marriage (our anniversary is the 25th of this month), there's no one else I'd rather spend my time with.<BR/><BR/>So, thanks for this and for putting up with me.<BR/><BR/>XOXO<BR/><BR/>Robin :)Robin Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16262933225938609682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-75582370366147822312008-11-03T18:08:00.000-05:002008-11-03T18:08:00.000-05:00This was a fun interview.

My Steve is a DG through and through. I even get espresso each day with fresh roasted beans! And he cleans way better than me! But, in the end, it isn't the coffee or cleaning but just about love and not being afraid to express it. Thanks Stephen and all the other DGs of the world who keep us romance writers inspired....and happy. :)Sharon Lathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09539439531975181469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-13137781062004176802008-11-03T17:00:00.000-05:002008-11-03T17:00:00.000-05:00Hi Ladies~I thought I'd check in just before I lea...Hi Ladies~<BR/><BR/>I thought I'd check in just before I leave for home. Robin called to remind me. It's been a busy day at work. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you all enjoyed the interview. It's always a blast to talk to Marie. The messages she sends me through Robin are always a laugh. She's a really good sport. <BR/><BR/>Hi Judi, Vicki and Malena. It's good to see all of you again. <BR/><BR/> Judi is right, she's known me for a while now. Though the first time we met, I thought she was trying to kill me. She came close to running me over with her car. LOL <BR/><BR/>Pat, Robin's told me so much about you. She said the two of you had a great time together in NJ. I seem to recall something about high-kicking to New York, New York. LOL I sure missed a good time. But then someone had to stay home with the kids.<BR/><BR/>I'll try to check in later but I can't promise. Our youngest is home sick so she's going to keep me pretty busy tonight and Robin's running our dancer back and forth to dance school. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comments, ladies. It's been great!<BR/><BR/>StephenStephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00563013267107888579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-32274987750869322372008-11-03T15:32:00.000-05:002008-11-03T15:32:00.000-05:00Too cute!

Her journey has been an adventure for both of us. I'm really proud of her. She's worked hard and it's great that her hard work has been rewarded. Her success is worth the teasing I get around the office. Everyone asks if I'm the guy on the cover. (grin) I just tell them it's hard work, but someone's got to do it.<BR/><BR/>Cheryl, I don't have a picture of me without the kids in it. Marie or Judi might though. I seem to remember a few pictures taken that night with the Casababes. They better check with Robin before posting it though, she really hates pictures.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00563013267107888579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-23068418890462229112008-11-03T09:09:00.000-05:002008-11-03T09:09:00.000-05:00You see what needs to be done and just do it. *Sig...You see what needs to be done and just do it. *Sigh* How truly wonderful....<BR/>Nice to meet you Stephen, now I want to see a picture of the real DG!Cheryl Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11464377381132807409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-88249560067326735472008-11-03T07:57:00.000-05:002008-11-03T07:57:00.000-05:00Thank you for joining us, Stephen.

I couldn't complain since I was the only man in the room and was surrounded by beautiful women. A good time was had by all--especially me.<BR/><BR/>I have the book you won all set to take to the Post Office this morning.
