There is always that tricky point to when you should first say I love you to someone and the fear of not getting the response back you hoped for.
Hi Louise! I'm a little late, sorry.
yes! it's so scary. I still remember that feeling of wanting to say it and not knowing if it's a good idea or not.
Hi Louise. Congrats for Conflicted!!
I've already bought it - it's in my TBR folder :) but I'll try and think of a fun question anyway... *rubs chin*
okay here's my question - not very original but relevant for romance writers/readers I think. What is the most romantic thing that anyone has ever done for you?
Louise wrote: "Tonight I'll be giving away a free copy of Conflicted to one lucky winner. All you have to do to be in with a chance, is to ask me a question. The most interesting or unusual one will be the winner..."already bought it;) I'll start reading it next week, I hope.

Have you spoken to him since?
Reading the blurb it sounds really good and a lot heartbreaking, Paul and Greg have been through a lot in their life. I've never read about gangs of cars.

Sorry to hear that.

Have you been enjoying all the fracas & racing conflict in F1, that's if you watch Formula 1? I have grown up around cars, one of my brothers works on the computer side of cars, another used to race his MG BGT and my Granddad used to race at the Isle of Man TT.

Added this one too to my TBR list lol

Louise wrote: My TBR list is so long I wonder if I'll ever catch up, as I add more to it on a daily basis! same! even my TBR folder on my kindle of books I've already bought is ridiculous!

I had a scary trip when I was child to Egypt, scary as my hair was long and it was platinum blonde until I got to my teens and people kept reaching over and touching it. Spooked me out a bit, so Mum tied it up and got me a sun hat to cover up. I am bit of a homebody, so most of more trips are in the UK or over to Europe. I loved a recent trip to York, as I love history.
Tarantulas???? ahahhah Right now I'm pet free. Last year I lost my two cats and swore never again
I have two cats - a male and a female. They have a complicated relationship ;)
What was the first book you read which had mm characters or a mm story line, that made you want to read more? Do you/did you also write fanfic?

A hot teaser!!!

Boycat is so sweet. He was a rescue cat and is very nervous of anyone not in the family really - so he missed his strokes while we were away. Girlcat was apparently tarting around the neighbourhood making new friends. She's even taking presents to my neighbour now (dead bird under their dining room table - oops LOL)
I'm afraid I have to head to bed so I will love you and leave you. Congrats on the new release, Louise :) I'm looking forward to reading it! good night everyone x

My current cat is called Miska Wiska Kitty, or Miss Kitty for short. I had two brother cats called Master Monty Cutiepie Wagstaff and Mr Winston Cooperkat Wagstaff (as he was bit of joker and played around like Tommy Cooper).
Mine preferred eat mice and birds, luckly lol

I love that film and I have read some interesting fanfiction about Johnny & Omar so many years on, still together and happy.
I have met so many authors now who started that way, I will look up your stories and I am glad you took that step to becoming a writer.
Sorry if you have answered this already, but will there be a follow on to Conflicted, possibly with other characters from the book?
Jay wrote: "I'm afraid I have to head to bed so I will love you and leave you. Congrats on the new release, Louise :) I'm looking forward to reading it! good night everyone x"Bye Jay, hope to chat to you again soon <3
the only thing we have in commun is the food. I love cooking and trying new recipe. Last year I made Yorkshire pudding but they disn't come rightthe only reason I run is so I can eat more and I can only think how to breath
