Hi Tamara,  I was so happy to get your message.  It seems we have a lot in in common.  You are an artist and I'm an Interior Designer.  We're both in the creative industry.  You are a Sagittarious and I'm a Leo - both signs that do really well together!  I don't care for hip hop much either, though I think Usher is awesome, AND WE BOTH LOVE NAVY SEALS.  I just love the TS Series by Suz Brockmann and I have read some of the books at least 3 times (specially the ones that have the plots on Sam & Alyssa.)  I don't know if you know that a new book comes out on 10/30/07.  It will be called "All Through The Night".  Most of the book is narrated by Sam so it should be interesting.  I also recommend that you read the Seal 12 Series by Marliss Melton.  I loved it and if you loved the TS Series, you will love this series too.  I recently finished the last book in the series.  It's called "Next To Die" and it is loosely based on the Lone Survivor story.  The plots are great and so are the romances.  If you read the series, read them in order.  I hope we get to correspond some more.  Best regards, Marilyn
