etoilinewell, one in particular mentions my comment in her blog at amazon.com. Whoa! See how it starts with 'Jennifer talked about...' Indeed I did, in a comment to her previous post 'Minor Characters.' *is boggled that one of my favorite authors was interested in what I had to say*
I felt kind of sheepish, though, because I had to look up the meaning of 'obstreperous.'
ob�strep�er�ous
adj.
1. Noisily and stubbornly defiant.
2. Aggressively boisterous.
[From Latin obstreperus, noisy, from obstrepere, to make a noise against : ob-, against; see ob- + strepere, to make a noise (of imitative origin).]
Must finish the short story for the anthology! Yes indeedy, someday soon yours truly will be published...if the damn story is any good. Wish me luck...it's due in 22 hours.
