Yes, I do! I feel like I will never fully let go of my "friends" at Turtle Shores and will always sneak in more stories about them. But right now I am finishing another series based on the events that happened in Bandits Hollow (a novella in the Robbin' Hearts series), so it might be a while before I pen another official Robbin' Hearts book :D Thanks for asking!

Oh, I definitely do, Cathy! But I have to admit my ideas on this subject are rather eclectic, so here goes: I believe we are all on spiritual paths here on earth to learn, grow, and create. Along our spiritual journeys, we occasionally meet people who we may be wildly attracted to, often because a union with them helps us to blossom in ways we couldn't have otherwise. Does this mean that such a love will work out forever? Yes and no--I suspect the soul really is eternal, and even if such "true loves" don't endure throughout the earth experience, we still meet up with those souls again at another time. There's just an eerie familiarity with these people that I can't deny, whether they be dear soul friends or actual lovers. I have to confess, Cathy, that I don't quite understand this all perfectly. But there's a haunting echo I feel whenever I meet someone I really "click" with that is instantaneous & yet very deep, which often blows me away. It's as though my soul has found it's "home" again in this person's heart, and at least for a while, there's a feeling of something creative and yet eternal whenever I am with this person. This phenomenon defies all logic, and yet these relationships have so enriched my life that I've given up trying to articulate them perfectly. Does this mean I might have met these people in a past life, and will continue to interact with them in the future? It's okay for me not to know--I love this mystery and my relationships with these dear soul mates so much that the gift of my interactions with them is enough for me. But is it true love? Yes, yes, a hundred times yes--I will love these cherished souls forever <3
