I can't tell you how much it meant to me to share the excitement of my new release with all of you. Just feeling how excited you were made my entire month!<br /><br />But now let's get down to giving away some prizes!!!<br /><br /><b>Elizabeth and Louise Owen</b> are the winners of the Facebook Fan Page referral contest. CONGRATS!<br /><br />Next time I come up with a contest for Twitter, I'll create a hashtag that isn't being used by people in a state of breakdown. Somehow #BreakingPoint is what people use when they're about to go insane. So all those tweets with that hashtag are lost amid people's nervous breakdowns.<br /><br />SO, I decided to name the winner of the contest based on an unscientific searching method, and <b>Ren</b> is the winner of that contest. CONGRATULATIONS!<br /><br />And <b>Kaetrin</b> is the winner of the contest here on this blog! <br /><br />Winners, please message me your mailing address on Facebook, or e-mail it to me at pamelaclare at earthlink dot net.<br /><br />And congratulations!<br /><br />There are still open contests on Julie James' blog page. Just comment to win. Also, Seductive Musings is still open. AND, the discussion under the discussion section on my Facebook Fan Page is open for comments (entries) through 11:59 PM tomorrow. So there are still lots of chances.<br /><br />Thanks so much for making the day so special! And I'm so thrilled to know that so many of you have already read the book and have really enjoyed it.Pamela Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308504469372100650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-89157355584717369542011-05-04T14:03:26.317-06:002011-05-04T14:03:26.317-06:00I live in a small town with no real bookstores so ...I live in a small town with no real bookstores so grocery type stores are normally my go to place for books. Since the books are delivered by vendors who just leave when they are done putting them out I had nobody to ask but today I went to a Barnes and Noble (about 25 miles from here) since Borders has gone out of business) and when I asked one of the employees there she checked their computer and found out that they had not received them yet! >:o( Not only that but I couldn't find ANY of your books on the shelves. Period. I am not a happy camper. If I'd have known how hard it was to get a copy of it I'd have pre-ordered from Amazon. I am now going to console myself by going out and planting some flowers in the rare sunshine we are having and work on patience until next weeks delivery. Sorry I wasn't able to help your initial sales numbers. :o(RitaSVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-28494805683624481402011-05-03T21:35:42.513-06:002011-05-03T21:35:42.513-06:00Congrats on the release of Breaking Point!

Oh, I think you know what mine is...at the end of Hard Evidence when Julian wants to paint his white picket fence and why he wants to do it himself. Sigh.

And I love the way you put that "off the top of my heart." Was that intentional or a Freudian slip? Either way, I love it.<br /><br /><br />Aw, KatH, now I'm a little choked up. I hope it IS a great day to be one of my readers. I hope you're all enjoying the book. <br /><br />I hope you come to the Spoiler Chat so we can talk about that jet ride and the southern sweet tea. You know a man cares about you when.... <br /><br />Hi, Cee — Thank you so much!<br /><br />How do you read so fast?!? I'm amazed. It's been out a day and already so many people are done with it. Wow. <br /><br />I'm so glad you enjoyed it. That's okay if it doesn't unseat NAKED EDGE. As long as the story didn't disappoint you or leave you wanting, then I'm happy.<br /><br />No I haven't seen Justified. I don't have television, so I mostly watch things I get through Netflix. Now I'll have to see if its on Hulu. I love me a sexy marshal. :-)<br /><br />Rita, I'm so sorry about that! Major bummer! Did you ask them to see if they had it in back? (Sometimes you have to really push to get them to check.) Sometimes they just don't get the boxes unpacked for a while.<br /><br />I hope you find it tomorrow!<br /><br />Thank you, everyone, for a wonderful day! Feel free to keep posting. I can't wait to chat about the book with all of you.Pamela Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308504469372100650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-60094319193821328132011-05-03T20:53:21.109-06:002011-05-03T20:53:21.109-06:00Well, I'm feeling rather testy.

(My favourite is Naked Edge.) It had me on the edge of my seat. I LOVE adventure/survival romances where the hero and heroine are thrown together and put through the ringer. Zach was such a great hero and I just love that he was a US Marshal! Have you watched the show Justified? It stars a very sexy marshal. <br /><br />I also wanted to say that I absolutely cannot wait for your next historical.

I laughed out loud when it came to me. Haha! <br /><br />Hi, King — OMG! I read this and kinda got choked up. Thank you so much! You're so kind to say that. I try. If more readers felt the way you do, I'd be able to leave journalism and devote myself to fiction, which would, I hope, mean more books but also better books.<br /><br />As for the moment you've picked out here... Yes, tears. *sniff*<br /><br />And thank you for everything you're doing to get the word about about BP!<br /><br />Hi, Kris — Thanks so much! Yes, I am fond of Jed. So are my ovaries and eyeballs.<br /><br />Hi, Kristin — Thanks for the wonderful review together with Jess. That was a lot of fun to read, especially after Skyping with the two of you. I'm so glad you both enjoyed the story.<br /><br />That prologue is just so popular! And yes it helps sustain the reader through everything else Hunt and Sophie endure.<br /><br />And thanks for employ method #7 today. LOL! Too funny!Pamela Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308504469372100650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-62520849395863747102011-05-03T14:00:59.210-06:002011-05-03T14:00:59.210-06:00Hi, Elizabeth — When Reece adopts Connor. I got ve...Hi, Elizabeth — When Reece adopts Connor. I got very teary when I wrote that. To me there's something beautiful about a man who is truly able to love children, even when they're not biologically his own. Thanks for mentioning that!<br /><br />Hi, Tonya — I know you're a big <i>Unlawful Contact</i> fan. I hope you're deep into <i>Breaking Point</i> now and enjoying it! A lot of people mention the prologue to UC. There was an Amazon thread in which some readers called it the best prologue ever. I liked that!<br /><br />Hi, Lori — Thanks! It's been a great day so far! I was pretty sure someone would mention that scene. I think it was pretty unexpected. Only someone who is a climber could have guessed what was going to happen. And you all have been fantastic about not giving it away. <br /><br />Hi, CGCook — Good to see you again today! I'm so glad you enjoyed Kat and Gabe's story so much. It's a very special book to me.<br /><br />Hi, SueZAY! Thank you! So good to see you! <3<br /><br />Hi, Caty — You know, I loved writing that — the intimacy of it. I knew it would upset some readers, but that's how life is. And I felt Gabe's true heroism really showed from that moment on the cliff through to the end of the epilogue. So I'm glad you enjoyed it! <br /><br />Hi, Chele — The car! LOL! Yes, it was nice to see Julian topped there for a moment, wasn't it? Incidentally, the car was inspired by my son Benjamin's love for classic automobiles. That's his dream car.<br /><br />Hi, Alyssa — I know exactly what moment you're talking about in <i>Breaking Point</i>. That made me cry when I wrote it. <br /><br />You know, I knew it was a SEAL team the moment I heard the news. I spent so much time last spring watching SEAL training videos and documentaries, I could almost see it happening in my mind. Those men are the strongest of the strong and bravest of the brave.Pamela Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308504469372100650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-37367235664431212012011-05-03T13:52:34.167-06:002011-05-03T13:52:34.167-06:00Hi, DeeCee — I'm so glad you were touched by t...Hi, DeeCee — I'm so glad you were touched by that. Not everyone likes babies in epilogues, but I do (and I'm unrepentant about it). For me, writing that epilogue was special because I got to focus on the Navajo and their tie to the land — the fact that their afterbirth is actually buried in the earth near their homes and becomes their "deep root" with the earth. *sniff*<br /><br />Hi, Kara — Yes, one moment. Just one. LOL! I appreciate your support SO very much. Word of mouth is everything. Thanks for the good wishes. So far, it's been a blast!<br /><br />Hi, Jane — It took me a moment to remember that. That was the first time she's in the hospital. (She does have a rough time of it, doesn't she?) And then Gabe walks in and overhears... And finally we get the truth. I'm so glad you enjoyed that!<br /><br />Hi, Kaetrin — A fellow spider-hater. I don't even like the word "spider." I really hate them. A man who can slay eight-legged demons is truly a hero. LOL! And thank you!!!<br /><br />Hi, Landin — I think that's a great scene to like. It's probably the closest I'll ever get to writing a menage. :-)<br /><br />Hi, Jennie — Don't leave Zach chained up too long. LOL! On the other hand, he isn't going anywhere, so take your time. I'm so glad you enjoyed Kat and Gabe's first love scene. That was tough to write — a modern-day virgin.<br /><br />Hi, Leanne — There are lots of chances out there today to win the book. Keep trying! There's Marie Force's blog, Seductive Musings, the three options on this blog, plus the discussion about heroes in the discussions section of my Facebook Fan Page.<br /><br />Those are pretty special personal moments you mentioned!<br /><br />Hi, Artemis — Thanks so much. I really can't wait till you dig in. I predict I will be getting e-mail or FB messages from you... :-)Pamela Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308504469372100650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-11099704411563338562011-05-03T11:40:25.839-06:002011-05-03T11:40:25.839-06:00Happy Release Day!!!

You SO deserve a day to bask in the glory!<br /><br />I have many favorite I-Team moment's, but right off the bat, I'm thinking of the first scene in Unlawful Contact with Sophie and Hunt. That was a REALLY great "first-time" scene, and it just started their history together at such a young age, that after everything they ended up going through years later, it was awesome that they had had that moment early on.<br /><br />Loved #7 on your list of ways to promote BP!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10636602110712908009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-15073139334302324582011-05-03T11:22:03.869-06:002011-05-03T11:22:03.869-06:00Hard to pick just one.

While I was watching the coverage of Osama Bin Laden's death on CNN Sunday night, I heard that Navy SEALs were the ones who carried out the misson. All is could think about was Zach & imagining him leading the team! So proud to own this series, even if they are only electronic copies (other than my faulous ARC of course).Alyssa (Hesperia Loves Books)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17962800388513504660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-45587759826665842011-05-03T08:44:42.893-06:002011-05-03T08:44:42.893-06:00I soo can not wait for AMAZON!!! its like they ke...I soo can not wait for AMAZON!!! its like they keep teasing me...then shipped it thru the mail UGH!! i want my ZAC<br /><br />best moment for me was when Sohie got Marc his grandfathers car back...I cried happy tears and laughed at Julian...could just picture his face like Marc one upped him...loved them all!!Chele Bladeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06329000895922376088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-74361484625165766302011-05-03T08:35:18.545-06:002011-05-03T08:35:18.545-06:00Happy release day, Pamela!
