I hope you like it if you give it a try!<BR/><BR/><B>Jen</B> - I tried my hand at chat rooms many years ago, back when they weren't very sophisticated. It was an interesting experience--Hallie's observation that two-thirds of the conversations were about sex was very true. Of course, today there are a wide variety of chat rooms, and I imagine they all aren't like that.<BR/><BR/><B>Monica</B> - Thanks! I have a favor to ask of you. Note to self: e-mail Monica. <BR/><BR/><B>Terri</B> - That's a great opening, isn't it? It hooks you from the start. And thanks!<BR/><BR/><B>Linda</B> - Thank you so much, Linda! What a nice thing to say. I hope you enjoy Teaser if you do read it. <BR/><BR/><B>Nymeth</B> - I think you're right. You don't see the internet mentioned all that much as a major thread. J.A. Jance has a series out that features a blogger (among other things). I've only read the first book in the series so far, but I think that's pretty neat. <BR/><BR/><B>Staci</B> - Thank you! I imagine it is hard to police something like that, although the laws are changing and law enforcement agencies seem to be getting smarter about how to go about it. There's hope yet!<BR/><BR/><B>Alice</B> - I think you would like it, Alice!<BR/><BR/><B>Lisa</B> - Thank you! The book blogging community is pretty good too, I might add. I think there are a lot of good and decent people online these days, but unfortunately there is the bad element to contend with.<BR/><BR/><B>LisaMay</B> - Thanks so much! It was a good one. I'm glad I had the chance to read it.<BR/><BR/><B>Bybee</B> - Thank you!<BR/><BR/><B>Iliana</B> - Hallie isn't quite as sassy, but she shares similarities with Annie Seymour. They're definitely different enough so you don't feel like you're reading about the same character. I think you'd like her too. :-)<BR/><BR/><B>Teddy</B> - Thank you! I wish I could claim her, but no, she's not mine. I'm not a good enough photographer, I'm afraid.

Just recently my boyfriend and I were talking about how as the internet and online relationships of every kind become a bigger and bigger part of people's lives, novels will probably start to reflect that. Yet you don't see it too often so far. Or maybe I've been reading the wrong ones :P<BR/><BR/>I think books like this are important, because dreadful things like that DO happen. But I'd also love to read a book that accurately portrayed the positive side of meeting people online.
