loveramanda: Lawd.

michelle_leighton: You know?

loveramanda: REALLY?

kschimpf: Does your husband ever do something sweet and you think....oooooo I think I can use this?

michelle_leighton: My husband does sweet things all the time, but I've never put them in my books.

mj: Too sweet?

michelle_leighton: I think the essence of him is in most of my characters, but nothing direct
yesi_cavazos: Any idea when we'll see the folow up to The Wild Ones?

yesi_cavazos: I absolutely LOVED that book! I met Trick before Cash and I was in love... <3

michelle_leighton: Well, the extended edition hits stores in May and we WERE planning to do book 2

michelle_leighton: They want me to do it ASAP, but this is just now all working out, so I don't have a

michelle_leighton: set date yet.

michelle_leighton: I must admit that I'm dying to write Nash's story!

michelle_leighton: Y'all, he's hardcore!

hoang_betular: we're dying to read it!

yesi_cavazos: Did we establish that everyone has read Up to Me? I know you asked Michelle L

patti_shaughnessy: :-)

loverkaren: Who was surprised by the appearance of NASH

yesi_cavazos: YES!!!!!!

kschimpf: Nash appeared and I went WTF?

hoang_betular: <~~ i was!!

michelle_leighton: Good! LOL I wanted it to be a surprise

yesi_cavazos: I my mind I hoped he was alive....and then he appeared!

yesi_cavazos: Why was he so pissed at Cash???

michelle_leighton: When I first posted pics of Charlie, I wondered what y'all would think was going on

loverkaren: I wanted Nash alive as soon as I found out he was dead. Poor kid, but he comes home angry!

michelle_leighton: Because Cash got to live HIS life, Nash's life

lovermichelle: I figured Cash grew a beard and was hiding out

yesi_cavazos: I know, I was hoping for happier reunion that's all :)

michelle_leighton: I wanted theories to run rampant. LOL

loveramanda: I feel like he needs to be cuddled. Hard.

yesi_cavazos: LOL!

michelle_leighton: There will be a happy ending, but he has some things to work out first. He's bitter

michelle_leighton: Oh, he cuddles hard. That's for sure. Bahahaha O_O

loverkaren: I loved being inside Cash's head, his thoughts are so honest and forthright
yesi_cavazos: Marissa turning nice???? WHY??? Sitll don't like her...LOL!

michelle_leighton: Hopefully, you'll like her more once you get to see more of her

lalamrcds entered the room.

michelle_leighton: Cash IS very honest

loverkaren: Oh every Bitch has ONE chance she better not spoil it

yesi_cavazos: Cuddles meaning he gets hot and heavy with a certain formerly annoying girl?

michelle_leighton: LMAO yes

yesi_cavazos: LOL!

yesi_cavazos: We'll see...

yesi_cavazos: haha!

mj left the room.

loveramanda: LOL Karen

yesi_cavazos: I did wonder why Cash didn't explain who Marissa was to Nash?

yesi_cavazos: I promise not to hog up more time after this...LOL!

michelle_leighton: That's something that will happen in the next book. Nash had one thing on his mind

loverkaren: Since Nash was spying I assumed he would have know.

michelle_leighton: They'll talk more about who knew what and did what.

yesi_cavazos: Great! Cash is still going to stay his hot and awesome self though right? No going to the

michelle_leighton: I didn't want to ruin the mood and momentum by giving them a heart to heart. I
don't

yesi_cavazos: dark side?

michelle_leighton: feel like that would've been very natural.

yesi_cavazos: please...

lovermichelle: Okay, so there is a lot of confusion (still) whether Cash is good or bad.

yesi_cavazos: That makes sense...

michelle_leighton: No, Cash is a good guy. I'm surprised you'd think otherwise after spending 2 books in
his

michelle_leighton: head

lovermichelle: Yesi ~ duck tape!

loverkaren: . Too much going on for a Bro & Bro reunion,

yesi_cavazos: sighing with relief...

yesi_cavazos: Haha! Okay...bye y'all!

lovermichelle: So if Cash wasn't on the phone with Gavin, who was he talking to?

lovermichelle: Yesi ~ you are not leaving!

lovermichelle: :)

lovermichelle: I love you!

yesi_cavazos: No, I'm kdding :D

loverkaren: We got a whole two books in his head, how could anyone think Cash is Bad, we heard

loverkaren: his inner most thoughts

michelle_leighton: Who do you think it was? In one version, I divulged that, but then I removed it.

lovermichelle: I know, and I read both and now I don't even know! I'm so confused!

maria_dema: i thought maybe Duffy?

michelle_leighton: ;)

loverkaren: Hey Evesdroppign Nash got what he deserves.

michelle_leighton: The next book will give resolution to that whole Bratva situation, as well as iron out
som

patti_shaughnessy left the room.

michelle_leighton: details with Cash and Nash. There will be a lot of Nash in it, though. The real Nash

michelle_leighton: I wanted to show y'all how bitter and distrustful Nash is

yesi_cavazos: Will we get both Cash and Nash's POV?

yesi_cavazos: I hope so!!!!

loverkaren: Both brothers have some major trust issues

yesi_cavazos: Yep!

michelle_leighton: He's got some issues. But he's still way hot and dangerous. You'll see with him what

michelle_leighton: a bad boy really is;)

michelle_leighton: With good reason! They've had a lot of people betray them

kschimpf: but we will get to see a softer side of him, right?

michelle_leighton: Oh, definitely. One person will bring it out. Very unexpectedly

lovermichelle: Will the third book be filled with even more steam, shots, bathroom scenes, etc.?

kschimpf: I think "she" has another side to her....

michelle_leighton: I doubt shots, but I already wrote one scene that is HAWT! I knew it had to be done

yesi_cavazos: I didn't think the bathroom scene could be topped, then came the VIP room...

michelle_leighton: the instant Nash made his appearance, so I wrote it and saved it

yesi_cavazos: GOOD LORD!!!!

andartam left the room.

michelle_leighton: LOL I still LOVE that bathroom scene! Whew

yesi_cavazos: Oh I LOVE it too!!!! Can't wait to read what you come up with after that! LOL!

loverkaren: Yes Nash needs a bathroom scene with a auburn haired short girl

michelle_leighton: hehe Challenge accepted! LOL

yesi_cavazos: AWESOME! :D

kschimpf: michelle ... you said that there is an essence of your hubby in your books....do you have

michelle_leighton: LMAO Karen. do you have auburn hair?

kschimpf: someone who is the essence of Ginger?

loverkaren: Yes

michelle_leighton: I think she stems from me, to some extent. Just wilder. LOL

lovermichelle: Okay, how many deleted scenes are sitting on your laptop?????
michelle_leighton: I am the Ginger to my sister.

kschimpf: LOL and how does your sister react to your Ginger?

michelle_leighton: I didn't delete any scenes. I put the one I took out back in at another point

loverkaren: Everyone needs to have a Ginger.

michelle_leighton: My sister laughs. I'm the only person who can make her laugh.

michelle_leighton: I think Ginger says things we all might WANT to say, just don't

kschimpf: Exactly!

loverkaren: I've know a Ginger or two in my life her name was Bridget

michelle_leighton: Have you ever BEEN the Ginger, Karen?

michelle_leighton: I think it's fun to have a Ginger and to occasionally be a Ginger

loverkaren: Once or twice,

loveramanda: I second that. I have a Ginger! She's a Lover.

michelle_leighton: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. hehe There's a story there!

loverkaren: My Ginger was a hoot knew her from 5th grade on

michelle_leighton: It's LoverMichelle, right?

loverkaren: I Know I Know

loveramanda: Michelle and ELizabeth. I have two!

michelle_leighton: LOL We'd have a ball over dinner and drinks! I love to listen to Gingers!

lovermichelle: Wait, what did I miss?

loverkaren: So Gavin killing the russian mob, will it come back to bite him

michelle_leighton: I haven't decided how that will play out, but I can tell you that Gavin can hold his own

michelle_leighton: with ANYBODY!

lovermichelle: I'm not a ginger!

loverkaren: Just tallking about you Mi

michelle_leighton: He's the SH*^

kschimpf: I would love to give Gavin a run for his money :D

yesi_cavazos: Gavin ROCKS!

michelle_leighton: LOL He's a very complex character

loverkaren: Gavin has a accent.

kschimpf: a little peanut butter, some handcuffs, :D :D

loverkaren: I think Gavin will turn out to be the most complex off them all.

loverkaren: My opinion.

michelle_leighton: Bahahahaha Peanutbutter and handcuffs? Will that be in my next book???

michelle_leighton: You may very well be right, Karen

kschimpf: with my luck Gavin has a peanut allergy :((

loverkaren: Anyone that has their own doctor on call, interesting guy.

yesi_cavazos: :D

michelle_leighton: LMAO What will swell if it comes into contact with PB? Cuz that couuld be good

michelle_leighton: Yes, he has many connections!

loveramanda: Nutellal and handcuffs.

kschimpf: lmao not if he quits breathing at the same time :(

loveramanda: Nutella*

michelle_leighton: Nutella! ROTFL OMG I love y

michelle_leighton: y'all

michelle_leighton: Good point

kschimpf: lmao I may regret this comment.....But I think Gavin would be one that could breath thru

kschimpf: his ears :)

kschimpf: lucky girl

michelle_leighton: LMAO OMG That's awesome!

michelle_leighton: So can I ask y'all a question?

kschimpf: I will be in my corner now !!

michelle_leighton: Bahahahaha

kschimpf: ask away

loverkaren: Michelle which male character that you have written do you love the most

michelle_leighton: Oh, yikes! I love them all in a different way, but the most recent ones are always on

michelle_leighton: my mind more, so right now I'd say Cash or Nash. Maybe Nash. He's under my skin

michelle_leighton: big time!

michelle_leighton: I'm serious, I'm very anxious to write him

kschimpf: why do you think that is?

loverkaren: He seems darker than even Cash

michelle_leighton: He has such a rough edge, but he's so incredibly sexual and so incredibly fragile. But
he

michelle_leighton: hides it beneath a thick wall of bitterness.

michelle_leighton: He is very, very dark. And commanding.

loveramanda: MESSAGE!

hoang_betular: ohhh commanding... sounds, yummy!

loveramanda: hehehehe

yesi_cavazos: Yes he does!!!

michelle_leighton: Yes, he is steamy in a totally different way. I can't wait to see what y'all think!

hoang_betular: Michelle, what was the question you wanted to ask us?

dana: Ahh i missed a lot

lovermichelle: dana: No worries, we'll post the transcript so you can go back and read it.

lovermichelle: Will take some time to edit but we'll post the link when it's ready.

kschimpf: lmao please edit me :)

michelle_leighton: I was gonig to ask your favorite quality in a dream guy

[9:28 PM] kschimpf: a heart

lovermichelle: Most recently one that rips panties!

yesi_cavazos: An open heart and complete honesty...yes panty ripping too!

loverkaren: OMG LoverMichelle

hoang_betular: lol, LoverMichelle, panty ripper is pretty hot

loveramanda: lol

kschimpf: panty ripping is good...but what are you gonna do for the other 18 hours in the day?

michelle_leighton: Bahahahaha Good to know. hehe

loverkaren: Being

dana: yay! okay, thanks for letting me know lovermichelle! =] and omg.. lol.

hoang_betular: someone who speaks from his heart... and from time to time, from the other head.

lovermichelle: That's a whole other chat. Yes, huge heart!

dana: I think honesty is mine. Hot looks is a plus. But you wouldn’t be someone your not attracted

dana: too right*

loverkaren: Dominate in bed and willing to talk.

kschimpf: A guy that walks between you and traffic just to protect you...

kschimpf: in case a car comes careening out of control.

michelle_leighton: LOL I love them all! Especially the careening car protector. LOL

lovermichelle: But not a wimp, not someone that is needy/clingy.

loverkaren: Never needy or clingy unless they have a compound fracture.

michelle_leighton: Nooooooooooooo I don't think I could ever write a guy like that

lovermichelle: Masculine, tender hearted, panty ripping, testosterone-filled LOVER!

michelle_leighton: Michelle, we think a lot alike. LOL

loverkaren: Okay TRICK

lovermichelle: M&M Rules.

kschimpf: someone who you can see cuddling a puppy but beating the crap out of a guy who
disrespected
kschimpf: d you

michelle_leighton: YEAH!!!!!!1

loverkaren: Michelle, How Much of You is in Olivia?

michelle_leighton: I think I see all my leading men as both tender and strong

michelle_leighton: I'm not sure. I think I put some of me in every character, whether it's my likes or my

michelle_leighton: desires or strengths I wish I had

loverkaren: But not Marissa, Until she turns nice. Right?

michelle_leighton: right:) hehe I could never be mean like that. Maybe in my head, but I could never

michelle_leighton: do it

michelle_leighton: I think all my leading men are in one way or another my hero

loverkaren: Does anyone else think that Olivia's Mom is Cruella Deville.

kschimpf: I do loverkaren

lovermichelle: She's a B*^&()

michelle_leighton: I'm so glad you could see how cold she is without her being in the story more.

loveramanda: I was trying to figure out how or why Liv's dad married her.

loverkaren: Who talks to their kid that way?

michelle_leighton: She wasn't nearly as bad when she was younger. There will be some sort of reverse

michelle_leighton: parallels drawn between her and Marissa as the story progresses.

loverkaren: You would think after daughter taken, would have changed the woman.

loveramanda: Hmmm...makes me wonder if Liv's dad had a little bad in him at one time.

michelle_leighton: Liv's dad has always been a bit of a pushover.

loveramanda: Bad in a good way. Michael Jackson bad.

kschimpf: I think Marissa had a difficult childhood...not sure if Parents paid attention to her

kschimpf: unless she was throwing a fit

loverkaren: Is Liv's dad being a pushover ,why she looks for powerful bad boys?
michelle_leighton: You'll see that she was expected to act a certain way. She's trapped in a glass house.

michelle_leighton: Liv has had to be the strong one and she needs someone to take care of her.

loverkaren: Marissa's parents about money and status. Reap what they sowed.

michelle_leighton: Oh, it will get even better in the next book

loverkaren: It shows in the Liv wants to go back to farm and still take care of Dad.

loverkaren: Nash against Marissa's Dad

yesi_cavazos: So I am thinking we are going to learn to like Marissa in book 3?

michelle_leighton: Liv is very strong!

michelle_leighton: If I do my job well, you'll not only like her, but you'll understand why she was the way

michelle_leighton: she was

kschimpf: ooo can you see a "Nobody puts Baby in the corner" moment between those two

loverkaren: I think Marissa's attitude maybe all front?

yesi_cavazos: **sighing** :)

michelle_leighton: OMG Dirty Dancing reference! I love it!

michelle_leighton: I will certainly try. I can already see how broken she is. I hated her in the beginning,

michelle_leighton: but now I see her differently. And I hope you will, too;)

michelle_leighton: I wonder if other writers live all sorts of lives through their characters.

lovermichelle: So did you sell the rights of this series to the same one that bought The Wild Ones?

michelle_leighton: I feel like I get to fix what's broken about me, fall in love over and over again and
make

michelle_leighton: different choices every day

michelle_leighton: Yes, I sold the series to Berkley. They wanted it after I pubbed book 1, but I wanted

michelle_leighton: to keep it until I got book 2 out.

lovermichelle: So what are you working on right now?

michelle_leighton: Well, I was wriiting Jake's story for The Wild Ones series, but they want me to stop
and
michelle_leighton: write the third Bad Boys book, so I'll start Nash tomorrow

lovermichelle: And when is the second Wild Ones book going to come out?

michelle_leighton: Well, I'm not sure at this point. I'll know more once the new deadlines come in

kschimpf: do you have any personal appearances scheduled?

michelle_leighton: Actually, I do. I'll be in Nashville in June, most likely Atlanta at RWA and then in Vegas

loveramanda: VEGAAAS!
