The PW review still makes me smile. :-)<br /><br />Julie Garwood's historicals are the only ones I still reread. I love "Ransom" especially, and if I didn't have a proposal I was working on, I think I'd be digging it out right now to reread since I'm talking about it. :-)<br /><br />Math wasn't my strong suit. I'm impressed that you made it to n-dimensional space. I really enjoyed reading up on M Theory and string theory and all that, but I thought my head was going to explode. :-)<br /><br />Patti Thank you, Joyce! The PW review still makes me smile. :-)

It didn't occur to me to do that and the University of Minnesota is an enormous school.<br /><br />Patti S7anna,

If I run into a point or two that I need help with, I'll get in touch.<br /><br />I'm not sure why I just gave up on historical romance, but boy, did I ever. Right now, I'm kind of on an urban fantasy kick, although the lack of romance leaves me frustrated. :-)<br /><br />Thanks again!<br />Patti Hi Valerie,

Numbers were my strong suit. They're concrete. I did great until I hit n-dimensional space. How do you picture or work with n-dimensional space? It was extremely frustrating.

I used to be a major historical reader, but these days, it's all paranormal and some contemporary. No historical at all (except for the odd freebie thrown my way).<br /><br />Re: Medieval nunneries. I was very active in the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA - medieval re-creation group) for over 20 years. I know a lot of people who know a lot about the Middle Ages, so if you get stuck on some particular point, let me know and I'll see if I can't find some help for you. I feel your pain.
