[17:01:18] 2shay : they are emotional.....i adore the world you're putting together
[17:01:48] @ FaeLadyFaye : It would be hard to rush intense characters, and you have to stick to the rules of the world you created, which means you have to remember them all.
[17:01:56] ZA Maxfield : I want to write Tuan and Evan's story too. In case I didn't make it clear, which I may not have, Tuan is a shifter (black Jaguar.
[17:01:58] ZA Maxfield : )

[17:50:28] ZA Maxfield : I really hope sometime in late spring
[17:51:15] ZA Maxfield : I'd say St, Nacho's is my favorite place, but I really liked writing the Hours series because it's a little more literary and it has that TONE, like... prepare yourself.
[17:52:00] ZA Maxfield : I went for broke on that one, with a narrative voice that isn't at all contemporary, and I think Vigil is some of my best writing, in places.
[17:52:00] 2shay : YAY....as much as I love St Nacho....I am loving those vamps of yours so much...
[17:52:06] sabby : Cant wait to find out what happens now that Adin is u know

[17:59:06] @ FaeLadyFaye : I thought it was Charles'
[17:59:07] ZA Maxfield : I ended up changing the name to Ben
[17:59:13] @ Doppleganger : Ummm....tell me that's not correct.
[17:59:13] @ FaeLadyFaye : LOL
[17:59:18] ZA Maxfield : At Loose Id, they have a house style
[17:59:24] ZA Maxfield : It is correct either way.
[17:59:32] ZA Maxfield : as long as it's consistent
[17:59:41] sabby : my second fave was Yasha
[17:59:42] @ Doppleganger : Ah. Looks funny though. Ben it is!
[17:59:42] 2shay : Ben works....and all the J names for men...Jordan, Jake, Jeff, Jo.....
[17:59:55] 2shay : Josh....sorry
[17:59:55] ZA Maxfield : Man. I used a lot of those.
[18:00:15] ZA Maxfield : I love those J names they are real romance hero names.
[18:00:43] @ FaeLadyFaye : They frequently are. Do you know why?
[18:00:48] 2shay : They are for me...authors, too....Josh Lanyon....sweet, sweet writer
[18:00:53] ZA Maxfield : There for a while it was all Trevor and Trevelyan, or whatever.
[18:01:15] heidicullinan has been disconnected on Sat Dec 03, 2011 6:01 pm (session timeout)
[18:01:22] @ Doppleganger : Huh, there are a lot of J-names. I like them though.
[18:01:24] 2shay : Andy, do you know why the J names work so well?
[18:01:25] @ FaeLadyFaye : She is out of here!
[18:01:37] @ FaeLadyFaye : I have no idea why.
[18:01:48] ZA Maxfield : Me too, HUGE fan. Josh whether he likes it or not, was my mentor, in a lot of ways, he helped me a lot when I got started and I still buy everything he writes.
[18:02:19] 2shay : me either, maybe the sound of the J is a fairly hard sound? makes it sound tough and all ...well...manly
[18:02:24] ZA Maxfield : He probably doesn't think of himself as a mentor, but I have to give him props, he's really generous with newbie writers.
[18:02:39] ZA Maxfield : Terrific person
[18:02:45] @ showmethelove : Josh is great.
[18:02:47] sabby : Yeah I have a huge TBR list of Josh's to get to. His AE series is fantastic!!
[18:03:13] ZA Maxfield : I like J sounds, I like Z's a lot too, I've got three kids with Z sounds in their names.
[18:03:13] 2shay : LOL....I, too have everything he's written....he's been to our chat a couple of times....we love him
[18:03:29] @ Doppleganger : I noticed you credited Ethan Day in the begging of Stirring. We're big Ethan fans too.
[18:03:31] @ gracious-plenty :
[18:03:34] sabby : I love Ethan Day he just makes me giggle so
[18:03:40] ZA Maxfield : I think AE especially the first three, are my all time faves
[18:03:48] 2shay : YES!! Love Ethan...
[18:04:20] 2shay : owww....didn't like Paul Kane, huh?
[18:04:21] @ FaeLadyFaye : The AE books really are an incredible love story.
[18:04:22] @ showmethelove : Me too. I'm so glad I didn't have to wait on books from AE series
[18:04:47] ZA Maxfield : Yeah. HUGE Ethan fan. He's the very nicest person ever, too. He held my purse while I read in Philly and then texted my yahoo group that he was my "bag Bitch" he made me so popular that day!
[18:04:58] @ showmethelove : Ethan
[18:05:00] ZA Maxfield : Do not get me started on Paul Kane
[18:05:04] ZA Maxfield : pthooey
[18:05:22] 2shay : it okay....we ALL hated the creep
[18:05:23] @ Doppleganger : LOL!
[18:05:26] ZA Maxfield : I am on TEAM Jake, love him.
[18:05:53] @ FaeLadyFaye : I don't think Guy had a team.
[18:06:09] ZA Maxfield : Uh... *blinks* who is this Guy you speak of.
[18:06:16] 2shay : Ahhhhh.....I was slow to join the Jake team....I wanted to kill him for a long time......but, hey...he hurt my boy Adrien!
[18:06:20] ZA Maxfield : he wasn't even there for me. ]
[18:06:21] sabby : maybe its the ponytail?
[18:06:32] @ showmethelove : poor Guy
[18:06:36] ZA Maxfield : I wanted to kill him too, but I GOT him.
[18:06:39] ZA Maxfield : And I loved him
[18:06:45] ZA Maxfield : And I ached for him
[18:06:51] ZA Maxfield : Wow. He was so real.
[18:06:54] 2shay : I did too....finally.....
[18:06:57] @ FaeLadyFaye : Yeah, Jake was infuriating but he made sense to me.
[18:06:51] ZA Maxfield : Wow. He was so real.
[18:06:54] 2shay : I did too....finally.....
[18:06:57] @ FaeLadyFaye : Yeah, Jake was infuriating but he made sense to me.
[18:07:15] ZA Maxfield : It was two in the morning when I read that book, and I wrote Josh a fan letter that exact minute when I closed it.
[18:07:23] ZA Maxfield : That first book just stunned me.
[18:07:36] ZA Maxfield : What a great, literary kind of mystery.
[18:07:40] ZA Maxfield : LOVED it.
[18:07:51] 2shay : If it weren't for these PURLS girls talking me off the ledge, I would have had a "throw the book out the door" meltdown...
[18:08:02] ZA Maxfield : HAHAH
[18:08:16] @ FaeLadyFaye : You would have been a kindle killer.
[18:08:29] 2shay : man, I take this stuff seriously.....
[18:08:38] @ Doppleganger : They all are too, the series doesn't have any stinkers in it. I did have my please-drop-a-piano-on-Jake moments, though.
[18:08:46] ZA Maxfield : Yeah. Well. I know here in Romancelandia things are supposed to run smoothly, but it was a great choice to make jake a shit, but a shit who really can't stop loving Adrien even though he tries.
[18:08:51] sabby :
[18:08:53] 2shay : kindle killer to the core when Jake told Adrien he was marrying Kate!
[18:09:16] @ showmethelove : That hurt
[18:09:31] @ gracious-plenty : kindle killer's are not welcome here
[18:09:34] @ FaeLadyFaye : But you know he doesn't want to be a shit.
[18:09:36] ZA Maxfield : oh, kate. I did want to drop a piano on Jake then
[18:09:36] @ gracious-plenty : jk
[18:09:45] 2shay : The beauty of Josh Lanyon......he ultimately made me adore Jake.....
[18:09:58] @ Doppleganger : Those marbles rolling.... I about cried over a visual of MARBLES.
[18:10:06] ZA Maxfield : He is so genuinely CARING about Adrien's health. So solicitous and lovely I did cry.
[18:10:11] @ Doppleganger : (Maybe I did cry....just a little)
[18:10:11] ZA Maxfield : I cried for both of them
[18:10:21] @ showmethelove : Jake's struggle broke my heart too. I was so conflicted when he hurt Adrien.
[18:10:25] ZA Maxfield : That's the mark of a brilliant writer.
[18:10:32] @ FaeLadyFaye : Jake almost cried over the visual of marbles too.
[18:10:36] @ showmethelove : I cried a few times
[18:10:37] sabby : I def cried as well
[18:10:37] ZA Maxfield : He killed me with my own empathy
[18:10:39] 2shay : I cried a lot.....not lying...cussed and smoked too much.....
[18:11:04] ZA Maxfield : We should all email josh and tell him we had a love fest.
[18:11:12] @ FaeLadyFaye : LOL
[18:11:14] @ showmethelove : I freaked out. Andy about gave me heart attack lol
[18:11:29] @ FaeLadyFaye : That still makes me laugh, and feel bad.
[18:11:29] @ FaeLadyFaye : That still makes me laugh, and feel bad.
[18:12:00] 2shay : Josh know his fan base is always on a love fest....
[18:12:10] ZA Maxfield : It's when Jake worried about Adrien's medicine and things, am I remembering that clearly? It reminded me of the movie the Saint, my favorite scene where he's palmed her heart medication and he gives it to her she's handcuffed.
[18:13:00] @ FaeLadyFaye : He did that after the dream when Jake was shit.
[18:13:05] @ FaeLadyFaye : I mean shot.

Part 6:

[18:13:14] ZA Maxfield : I loved his caring. He was so gentle with Adrien, even though he was a jerk. I never lost hope, that's a delicate balance. Josh is very deft.
[18:13:17] sabby : I loved that movie, when he was the artist
[18:13:19] 2shay : Yeah...when they go to the funeral.....the bj that Jake does cause he thinks it the last time he will ever get to touch Adrien...
[18:13:31] @ Doppleganger : LOL, Fae. Freudian typo.
[18:13:38] ZA Maxfield : sobs
[18:13:52] ZA Maxfield :
[18:14:04] 2shay : we are having an AE sob fest....
[18:14:11] ZA Maxfield : seriously. some books like that just cut you open
[18:14:17] ZA Maxfield : and make you bleed.
[18:14:17] sabby : I sobbed when Shawn ran after Cooper's motorcycle to say bye
[18:14:21] ZA Maxfield : that was one.
[18:14:24] ZA Maxfield : Oh, yeah.
[18:14:28] ZA Maxfield : me too!
[18:14:42] 2shay : OMG! That was intense.....sabby
[18:14:51] @ FaeLadyFaye : Do you frequently make yourself cry when you write?
[18:14:54] ZA Maxfield : well not really. but I did cry in Pharaoh's concubine.
[18:15:22] 2shay : oh...that's another I haven't gotten....
[18:15:24] sabby : oh I haven't read that one yet, on the list check
[18:15:33] ZA Maxfield : I don't really make myself cry much. I'll tell you this Hanukkah one gets to me in like... three places and no matter how many times I read it, I cry.
[18:16:05] ZA Maxfield : but it's a little personal because I modeled the main character after my dad.
[18:16:06] 2shay : Well....you need to get that one out here so we can cry with you....
[18:16:13] @ showmethelove : I cried when he chased him too
[18:16:23] ZA Maxfield : In some ways he is so totally my dad, and I just lose it.
[18:16:36] @ Doppleganger : Awwww, that had to be tough to write.
[18:16:36] ZA Maxfield : He's my dad if my dad had been gay
[18:16:49] @ FaeLadyFaye : That would have to be the hardest part of basing a character on someone you know.
[18:17:01] @ FaeLadyFaye : They could really hurt you.
[18:17:05] 2shay : An Ethan question.....does everyone know that Ethan has a yorkie just like Dasie?
[18:17:19] ZA Maxfield : December 20th Loose Id. You probably won't cry because he's not your dad. and then I'll feel all stupid
[18:17:23] @ showmethelove : Yes.
[18:17:40] @ FaeLadyFaye : We won't tell you if we don't cry.
[18:17:42] @ showmethelove : No. We'll think of it now
[18:17:47] ZA Maxfield : Does he? THat's the dog from the one I read, Piper's Point?
[18:17:48] sabby : well now that we know how personal it was I'm sure we will
[18:17:51] 2shay : Nope.....now we know it's YOUR dad...we will all bawl like babies
[18:17:59] @ showmethelove : yes
[18:18:40] 2shay : Dopp...can you add that to the book list? I know I am gonna forget...or remind us on the dicklit thread? please?
[18:18:43] ZA Maxfield : I LOVED that book, I interviewed him for that book and he's going to share that on his 8 by five by 10 blog or whatever it's called.
[18:18:43] @ Doppleganger : Oh I'll probably cry...I do that with holiday stories.
[18:19:03] @ Doppleganger : I'll add it to the list!
[18:19:15] ZA Maxfield : How many writers do you know who can imbue an urn full of ashes with that much character. I LOVED that book
[18:19:21] @ Doppleganger : (I'm transcripting this chat too....fyi)
[18:19:33] 2shay : And Sadie is based on Ethan's own grandmother
[18:19:40] @ showmethelove : APP made me cry too. I don't cray that much really
[18:19:41] sabby : Piper's Point is my fave of his!!!
[18:19:52] @ FaeLadyFaye : That really was a good one.
[18:20:05] 2shay : At Piper's Point is his best, in my opinion
[18:20:13] @ Doppleganger : Who is your fav writer ZAM? (Besides Josh & Ethan, of course)
[18:20:17] ZA Maxfield : okay, then I'm glad I said I loved everybody.
[18:20:19] sabby : there were sad nostalgic scenes... but than there were scenes like being caught on the kitchen counter!!!!
[18:20:37] ZA Maxfield : Uh, Urband and Roux, no alley stabbing I Promise!
[18:20:46] 2shay : by his mother....can't unsee that!
[18:21:15] ZA Maxfield : Yeah! I enjoyed that book so much. Like Nacho's it has a real sense of place.
[18:21:30] sabby : yeah I nearly peed in my pants laughing at that!!
[18:21:31] 2shay : I think Ethan told us those little tid bits here on a chat
[18:21:32] @ FaeLadyFaye : You can probably take Roux. She has a bad knee.
[18:21:43] @ gracious-plenty :
[18:21:44] @ Doppleganger : Shit....I should probably have mentioned the transcripting at the *beginning* of the chat. Uhhhh, sorry?
[18:22:13] ZA Maxfield : Oh gosh my fave? I don't know if I have one It's more like flavors, Sometimes I'm up for a Ty and Zane, sometimes I want to be led into a deft mystery.
[18:22:21] sabby : oh Fae u r one to watch out for!!!
[18:22:37] ZA Maxfield : my favorite contemporary writer is Joan Didion.
[18:22:50] 2shay : Harper Fox writes good mysteries
[18:23:17] @ Doppleganger : Oooh, I haven't heard of Joan Didion....I'll have to look up.
[18:23:20] ZA Maxfield : I think Harper is just Terrific, she's another one I listen to all the time on audio.
[18:23:49] ZA Maxfield : I really enjoy Nine Lights Over Edinburgh and re-listen to it often because the language is just beautiful
[18:23:53] 2shay : I have all her books, too.
[18:24:31] ZA Maxfield : Joan Didion is a literary writer and essayist, I remember reading something by her about Migraines as far back as high school
[18:24:39] sabby : Oh Phil Gigante does a great Scottish accent for audio!!! scrumptious
[18:25:07] @ FaeLadyFaye : His name cracks me up!
[18:25:23] @ Doppleganger : Think that's his real name?
[18:25:30] 2shay : Hey, ya'll. I have to go. ZAM thanks for coming, it has been a real pleasure. We are such a chatty group, and newsy.
[18:25:34] ZA Maxfield : I don't know?
[18:25:38] sabby : yeah kind of a porn name... but with that voice and burr he can get away with it!!!
[18:25:47] ZA Maxfield : I have Life after Joe but it's harder to understand
[18:25:59] 2shay : I really, really hope you will come again someday soon?
[18:26:21] ZA Maxfield : I loved that book too, and driftwood. I have all her books, I think. I should check, I'd hate to think I'm missing out on t=something!
[18:26:56] @ showmethelove : Bye Shay

[18:28:22] @ Doppleganger : That sounds like a fabulous work day to me. Although for me, it's just fun...not work.
[18:28:23] @ FaeLadyFaye : Do you write every day?

[18:29:52] ZA Maxfield : All right! How about we say goodnight then, and I'll be sure to come back soon!
[18:29:53] @ FaeLadyFaye : That seems to be a big part for a lot of people who want to write. You actually have to write it down.
[18:29:57] sabby : Its great your family has supported you!! And hey who cares about housework!!
[18:30:17] ZA Maxfield : Yep. No housework, unless it's a health hazard, that's my policy
[18:30:36] ZA Maxfield : We're cluttered, but I write a lot.
[18:30:37] @ Doppleganger : I like that policy!
[18:30:51] @ FaeLadyFaye : Clutter isn't dirty.
[18:31:00] @ FaeLadyFaye : It's just...stuff.
[18:31:16] ZA Maxfield : I just want to thank you so much for having me. I loved that banner, it made me feel like a SUPERSTAH!
