Here's a brief blurb:
Sam Cooper ("Coop") has just become the most eligible bachelor in New York City. Now that he has foiled a jewelry-store robbery and has been rewarded with the ring of his choice, single women all over the city are fawning over the crime reporter. But Coop isn't interested in the admirers sending racy underwear his way. His attention is centered solely on Lexie Davis, the only woman in the city who claims not to be interested in his bachelor status.
Instead, free-spirited Lexie is interested in Coop's antique ring, and its—potentially scandalous—history in her family. But Coop is quickly becoming more than just her route to the ring. When his investigation starts to uncover the truth, will she trust her heart—and her family secrets—to this most eligible bachelor?

Here is my question for Carly. When you are writing a series, do you ever get so attached to characters that you want to keep writing about them ? I know when I am reading I get attached to them.

My question for Carly is: What is the funniest/strangest comment you have received from a fan?
My questions:
What kind of characters are the most difficult for you to write?
What questions do you have for reviewers?
Who are some of your favorite romance authors?

Great giveaway!
My question would be:
How do you generate your titles for your book and do you tie them in the book?
Like some authors will put the title in the book somewhere... Do you do that?

What books are on your TBR list?

My question is how often are you recognized on the street or in the shopping malls? You are very famous, but as an author can you still go about your business and keep a low profile when you want to?
Do you have any strange habits when writing?

My questions for Carly are:
Is there a book out there that you wished you wrote?
Who are you a big fangirl of?
Thanks!

Oh I loved this book! It was really great. Do you have any plans to do anything with your older characters? A glimpse into where they are now?
Questions:
1. Who do you admire or look up to in your writing profession and in your personal life?
2. What is your ultimate aspiration within your writing career, is it an award, bestseller list or something else?
3. As you get older and wiser, in what way do you think your writing has changed?
My question is
Do you have any input as to what the covers of your books will look like? I like to read books with covers that give me clues about what the book is about. This cover doesn't give me any clues-to me, it is rather blah.

Hi Carly!
If you could go back in time to meet one famous person, who would you want to meet and would you want to ask/say to them?
cathiecaffey @ gmail.com
Oops, didn't know to put the questions on one post, so here's 2 and 3.
Carly, what was the first romance book you remember reading?
Do you have any unique routine you do before or during the time you get reading to write each day?
What's the most unique thing you've learned during the research for your books?
If you were able to read only one book for the rest of your life what book would that be?
throuthehaze at gmail dot com
My question is How do you keep your characters fresh from book to book and write them different from the previous ones? I would think it would be easier to write different ladies than gents. Is it?
JOYE

Is there anyone we would know that reflects your heroes or heroines appearance or personalities?
Hi Carly,
1) Which book has been your best seller?
2) Which book of yours is your favorite? Why?
3) Which book of all the books you've read is your favorite? Why?
My question is, do you "write" your characters' personalities first & then just let them loose & see what they'll do, or do you think of the situation & outcome & then make up he personalities to suite the story?
gevin13{at}gmail{dot}com
