Comments on: The Vacation Continues http://www.dianapeterfreund.com/the-vacation-continues/ Novelist, Dog-Lover, Bon Vivant Fri, 10 Feb 2012 07:08:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Natalie Damschroder http://www.dianapeterfreund.com/the-vacation-continues/comment-page-1/#comment-6225 Natalie Damschroder Wed, 29 Nov 2006 21:53:00 +0000 http://gator465.hostgator.com/~dianablu/the-vacation-continues/#comment-6225 Excellent point, Diana, about the strength of emotion re: Logan and how Piz is different. I guess I just like sweet guys. I don't DISAGREE about Piz and Veronica, though--there's no chemistry there of any kind, and pushing the idea of them getting together doesn't work at the moment.<br/><br/>The whole "writers in love with their characters" thing resonates with me because I feel that was/is the case with Lana on Smallville. There's nothing redeemable about the character or the performance, for me, though it's clear the writers feel differently.

Dick C. is the BEST! Have you noticed how there's never a boring Dick scene? He's a natural antagonist.<br/><br/>And I SOOOO agree about Logan. Love or hate, Logan does it big.<br/><br/>Oh, and TONIGHT? The baseball bat? He's bad again! HOrray! Logan is BAD again!!!!!!!<br/><br/>Ally I’m so with you on the Veronica stuff!

Never did get into GA. Joan isn't actually on TV anymore. <br/><br/>nalini, that's SO EXCITING! <br/><br/>the luggage? Oh, the luggage. Really, I do nothing to it. I have to check it -- otherwise how do I transport my cosmetics? I gave up lost and picked up veronica. Never did get into GA. Joan isn’t actually on TV anymore.

nalini, that’s SO EXCITING!

It helped get my name out there and then people read and reviewed the book. Would that have happened anyway? Impossible to say, but as far as I'm concerned, the blogging gave StS a great platform to start off on. Then it was up to the book itself.<br/><br/>The #1 was on StS as well as Visions. One of my other books went to #1 on the Walden's list (YAY!!), though StS made it onto BookScan and the Barnes & Noble list! Woohoo!!<br/><br/>p.s. forgot to say - what *do* you do with that poor luggage?! Diana – thank you!! :)

Since the publisher doesn't want to alienate other bookstores by putting "Waldenbooks" or "Barnes & Noble" on the cover of a book, they just say national bestseller. Whatever it means, it's still super! Congrats, Nalini. I believe “#1 National Bestselling Author” means she hit number one on a bookstore chains list.
