I see you admire Harlan Coben whom I also admire, a great writer and not so much as one "damn" in LONG LOST. Refreshing. Your a good enough author that YOU don't need swearing either, particularly the "f " word which in my opinion, detracts from you and your work.

I began reading your books a few years back, and can't get enough of everything you write. Everytime I finish one I feel disappointed that it's over. I cannot wait to watch Fragile on tv and I agree that Diane Lane would make a wonderful Maggie; beautiful and motherly, she is a perfect fit. Thanks for all the books that I haven't been able to put down, I can't wait for the ones yet to come. Jennifer Congratulations Lisa!

I cannot get enough of them! I recently started reading again mainly out of boredom and once I started reading your novel BLACK OUT, I could not put it down. I look forward to all your new books.

I don't watch a lot of television, however I'll definitely make an exception to watch Fragile. I recently discovered your work, and have been a big fan ever since. I've quickly devoured all your books, and am eagerly awaiting more. Let's see... I think Julianne Moore, Sela Ward, or Diane Lane would make a great Maggie. I could see Russell Crow, Sean Bean, or Jeff Bridges as Jones. If I think of any more, for the other characters I'll comment on your Facebook page. Congrats! Congrats to you Lisa!

Welcome to motherhood…
Ahh the guilt, there’s no escaping it. I hear it gets worse!

I work from home; it’s a bit easier since my daughter is in school. She’s eight years old. I’m a single mom; with a very busy work schedule so it was tough. I’m fortunate to have family that are close by, so that helps.

Initially it was tough, and I found myself doing what you’re doing. Juggling my schedule around hers… Thankfully since I’m an early riser (drove my parent’s nuts) I’m able to accomplish a lot while she’s sleeping. When she was younger, it was hard to get her to understand that just because mommy was home, it didn’t mean her time was free — like hers. Things got better as she became older. She adores drawing (and is very talented) a few of her pieces have been featured in the schools art show. She draws daily, so if I have work that’s not complete. I’ll hop on my 17″ MacBook Pro, and work while she’s drawing. I’ve gotten good at multi-tasking (chatting with her) while I do my work. I swear, our children have us trained!

During the summer months, I’ve become better at taking regular breaks throughout the day to hang with her.

I recently discovered your books, and I promptly got the rest (after reading Fragile — a few weeks ago). You’re such a talented writer; I’m looking forward to reading more of your books. Keep writing!

At the moment, I'm only tackling the writing aspect...not ready for the mommy business, yet. Cheers! What a touching post about writing and motherhood.
