He's the one with his fingers in the dike, right? I didn't know about the silver skates... <br />Oh, wikipedia tells me that they actually gave Hans a sister named Gretel - very Grimm fairytales, so I can see the connection in your mind :). Funny, as Gretel is called Grietje in Dutch.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Brinker,_or_The_Silver_SkatesNynkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810044360681034104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217012316587200736.post-58620876510183219192009-07-19T17:03:51.566-04:002009-07-19T17:03:51.566-04:00Nynke, I can always count on you to keep me straig...Nynke, I can always count on you to keep me straight!

Although our publishers would be fools if they dedn't keep translating your novels, of course ;).<br />I'm not sure who anonymoous was, but i think they wanted to point out something that struck me as well: Hans Christian Andersen was from Denmark, not the Netherlands - not quite the same thing, although even a native can't always telle the people apart - lots of tall blondes and the languages sound deceptively the same until you come close and can't understand a word Danish people are saying :)<br />As for wooden shoes, yes, that's Holland - my father still wears them when he mows the lawn!<br /><br />Love, NynkeNynkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810044360681034104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217012316587200736.post-36054348966133679272009-07-12T15:19:18.729-04:002009-07-12T15:19:18.729-04:00That's awesome Emily.

Alaine--And research shows there...Thanks, Rachael!<br /><br />Alaine--And research shows there would be more quality sex if there were more romance readers! Some men may feel that romance novels set unrealistic expectattions, but romance readers report more satisfaction with their partners than those who read in other genres!<br /><br />Patricia--I love the wild cry of a peacock! When we lived in Wyoming, one of our neighbors had some and I'd often find those long feathers on our walking path. <br /><br />Yes, my work has been translated into Dutch, German, Italian and Russian!

Have you been translated into other languages? This weekend will be spent working in the yard and fighting a loosing battle in the house. I've been so busy at work that things are piling up there and here. I need to work in the peacock pen this weekend. She hatched 5 chicks on Tuesday and we need to get rid of the shells and dud eggs. The males have dropped their long feathers so now I have a basket bouquet of them in the house. <br />Enjoy your weekend.Patricia Barracloughnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217012316587200736.post-89512405949907436442009-07-10T22:19:01.405-04:002009-07-10T22:19:01.405-04:00Congratulations, that is fantastic news!

At RWA next week, I'll be rooming with a gal from Thailand who read my MAIDENSONG and looked for me at RT. I feel like I'm making friends with my books.<br /><br />Glynis--Thanks, we will. I get to spend everyday visiting different times and places in my head, but my DH works hard all week. Saturdays are his play days. He's looking forward to the tall ships.<br /><br />Etirv--I'd say it means that Dorchester's sales staff is pretty impressive. They've done a bang-up job of finding homes for my work in international markets.EmilyBryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542349086762747179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217012316587200736.post-6059961507445592802009-07-10T15:35:56.176-04:002009-07-10T15:35:56.176-04:00Very impressive, Emily!
