Ask Bella Andre - January 17, 2013 discussion

We'd love to learn more about you. And if you're a fan of Bella's, please consider joining the Bella Andre fan group.

Hi!!! My name is Jaime!!! So happy to be part of this tour!!!

Hi, I'm Emlyn. Not only am I a huge fan of Bella's work, I also have the amazing honor of serving as her publicist. I'll be buzzing around the group today facilitating conversation and getting to know you all better.

I'm a huge Brazilian fan of Bella's books and I'm in love for all Sullivans. I'm finishing read 'Come a little bit closer' and I fell for Smith. OMG!!!!

Bella congratulation for your inspiration and for this wonderful family!

Hi, I'm Carrie. Loving Bella's books so far. :)

Hi June here... love all
of Bella's book!!

Hi, I'm Terri. I didn't know how much I would enjoy Bella's books until I started reading the first one -- now I can't put them down!

Hi, everyone! Looks like we'll probably start slow and then pick up speed as the day goes on. We need to get more people checking into our book club. Can't wait to talk about these books!

I am working so I will check in when I can!!!! <3

Hi I'm Nicole. I am obsessed with the Sullivan series. I stumbled on this series a little over a month ago and finished it within a week. I would be okay if Bella wrote about the Sullivan family second cousins, great aunts, or uncles. Please just keep writing!!

Hi, I am Lisa, from Canada. I am a married mom of three, so I love to get away in a book whenever possible. Bella's stories take me off into another world when I am in need of a break from mom life. I now have my own mother hooked on the stories as well. Give me a good book and you have a loyal reader who would read anything you wrote, great authors are hard to find, and Bella is tops on my list.

Hi!! I'm Sue, I also live in Canada on Vancouver Island. I love, love reading!!! It's the best escape into another world! And I love your books, Bella!!

Cinthia - You are SO sweet! I'm so thrilled that you've fallen so hard for Smith. I loved him, too, and he and Valentine were *so* hot together, weren't they? Loved it! :) Bella

Yes, I just made it in here myself. But I do have pretty hair now (guess where I was?). :)

Nicole - Oooh, you've just said two of my favorite words: Obsessed and Sullivans! :) I'm obsessed with them too, and I can't wait to write the first Sullivan cousin (Rafe from Seattle, his book will be out this summer).

Hi Sue! I love Vancouver Island - what part are you in? We were just there in late November. I'm so glad you're enjoying my books!

Hi Lisa! I love my Canadian fans. :) I love that you hooked your mother on my books! Hooray! Say hi to her for me. :) Bella

Hi I am Wendy. I am a huge fan of Bella's and I am the mother of 4 kids - ages 12, 11, 8, 6. I have been married for 20 years as of yesterday and met my husband 4 years before that when I was a senior in high school. Always loved to write but didn't always love reading until a couple of years ago and now I am rarely without something to read. Still have a few of Bella's older ones to read.

Hi everyone. I'm a married Mum of 5. I love all of Bella's books (especially Chase)x

Hi again, Bella!! I live in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, about an hour and half drive north of Victoria (where we love to go for the weekend or day trips!). The west coast of the Island is fabulous too!!
Last Dec. (2011) we took a big driving trip (husband, 2 kids) south to Disneyland, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, San Francisco, Napa Valley, etc...loved it. And I have to say I LOVE San Francisco, I'd go back there in a heartbeat! And it's really neat that the Sullivan's are in San Francisco and I can actually picture things!!! This Christmas our tree fell over and my SF ornament broke so I've told my husband we're going to have to go back to San Francisco, lol ;)

Hi Wendy! I'm so glad you're here. Wow, you sound busy! :) I'm glad you've been able to squeeze some time in to read my books. :) Bella

Sue - I love Nanaimo! My husband and I did a pre-kids trip there about 10 years ago and then explored all the islands nearby. So much fun!

Hello Bella,
Let's see my name is Zina, a Navy wife retired, mother of nine and I love series like your Sullivans. I haven't read any yet but I plan on it. I currently live in WV, just moved her from RI. Well a year ago we moved when the dh retired from the Navy.

Hi I am maranda. I am a mother of two kids and a student. I have been married for almost 10 years. I love my husband with all my heart. I love to read instead of watching tv. I am just in love with your books bella I am always telling everyone about them that I can

Well if you're ever around again feel free to look us up, lol, it's not that big of a place!! :)

Oh, I did forget to say I am originally from North Calif. the Redding area. I also lived in Vallejo for a time and went to SF which is where your books are set.

Yes, Bella, Smith and Valentina are so HOT together... and I want more... more about all of the Sullivan (San Francisco and Seatle). Love for You!

Hi I'm Linda! I really enjoy reading all your books;)

Hi my name is Julie. I love all Bella Andre books, but her Sullivans series is my favorite!!

Looks like I joined a little late for this party but i'm glad to be part of this so I can know more about when to expect another fantastic story!! I love Bella Andre's work and the Sullivan Series but most specifically it was Jake and Sophie that stole my heart <3

So lovely to meet you, Chand! I'm so glad you've been enjoying my Sullivans so much. Can't wait for you to read about Dylan Sullivan next in I LOVE HOW YOU LOVE ME this fall. :) Bella

Looks like I am a little late too! Better late than never. I live on a little farm just outside of London Ontario. My escape is reading. My opinion is there is nothing better than a good Bella book, peace and quiet and a nice glass of wine. All rolled into one.....perfection. Maybe with the release of The Morrison Family. Things will get a little active again around here. If not; maybe it will just be you and I Chand.

Hey Cara! Personally, I don't think it matters where you live, reading is always a wonderful escape & It has never been better since I picked up a Bella Andre book!
