Yay for fangirling over <i>Natty Gann</i> (and specifically, John Cusack)! ;) That will be so fun for you to share the movie with your kids at some point. So good!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-59591586757209740422015-11-21T17:59:03.713-07:002015-11-21T17:59:03.713-07:00Hee! I first saw it as a child, and I thought he ...Hee! I first saw it as a child, and I thought he was really cool, but didn't have a crush on him cuz I was too young for that. Then in college I suddenly discovered John Cusack, watched oodles of his movies, rewatched <i>Natty Gann</i> and fangirled a lot over it :-D Still love that movie! Can't wait for my kids to be a little older so they can enjoy it too.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-42558537899315064172015-11-20T23:59:33.796-07:002015-11-20T23:59:33.796-07:00Hamlette,
Mmmmhmmm. ;)

So fun to hear which board's your favorite. :) I really like the mood of the board and the way the pins all work together! Hope that translates into a cohesive story...!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-54750829430796830852015-11-20T23:56:49.854-07:002015-11-20T23:56:49.854-07:00Courtney,
Aww, it's awesome to hear that you ...<b>Courtney</b>,<br /><br />Aww, it's awesome to hear that you enjoy browsing authors' boards! I love creating them, and it makes me happy to hear readers like looking through them. :) They do set the mood nicely, don't they? And I think it's fun to see the characters and setting come to life in a different way!<br /><br />Ah, yes... My seasons theme. ;) It's definitely prevalent in my books! Although funny enough, <i>How a Star Falls</i> is technically set in winter. I think it's the coastal setting that makes it feel so breezy and summery. :) And it doesn't get SUPER cold in Humboldt County...although winter temps can get chilly (especially at night, or with the wind blowing). So, the characters did need sweaters for the most part in the book, and they encountered some rain and fog (<i>very common</i> in my home county!). But we'll go with it being a pleasant winter afternoon for that cover shot! ;) <br /><br />(Can't you just hear Derrick? "Would you hurry up and take the picture, Trisha? We're going to freeze to death!" Hehe.)<br /><br />But yes, <i>Where Trains Collide</i> will be set in the autumn, and <i>While You're Awake</i> was set in the spring. I'm planning on <i>When Frozen Days Melt</i> also being set in winter/spring. At least the historical novels are set in summer to round things out! :) <br /><br />Happy to hear you like the board for <i>When Frozen Days Melt</i>! I'm having a lot of fun pinning! Now I just need to get writing! (But hopefully after I finish WTC...)<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-89070613459609868242015-11-20T16:34:50.562-07:002015-11-20T16:34:50.562-07:00Mmmm, young John Cusack.

It provides a little more visual context for us readers!<br /><br />And am I sensing a season theme with some of yours? :) How a Star Falls = summer, Where Trains Collide = autumn, When Frozen Days Melt (which "looks" adorable!) = winter!Courtney Clark (The Green Mockingbird Blog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01057618073305232146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-68855627696318761472015-11-20T01:00:04.273-07:002015-11-20T01:00:04.273-07:00Elisabeth,

Really enjoying the party - participating, and seeing what everyone else is sharing. :) <br /><br />And the board for <i>Where Trains Collide</i> is a favorite of mine, too. :) So many happy and lovely things tucked within. The premise of the story is quite dear and personal!<br /><br />Glad to hear you like those other contemporary storyboards, as well! How neat that you own a German shepherd. :) My parents both had German shepherds when I was younger - and my dad actually had quite a few of them for a time when he was in law enforcement and training the canines for bomb/drug detection. Some of them scared me, I confess...but there were some sweeties in the bunch, too. One wasn't strictly a German shepherd (not sure of the breed; my dad could tell me!), but he looked like a fluffy German shepherd with his coloring. His name was Leon, and he was a big teddy bear with a lion's mane. ♥<br /><br />Thank you for commenting! I linked up my post. :)<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-66150451912121606892015-11-20T00:53:22.454-07:002015-11-20T00:53:22.454-07:00Meghan,

Like I told you before, my favorite of your boards is <i>Where Trains Collide</i> with its railroads and autumn scenery (autumn is my <i>very</i> favorite time of year), but I love the German Shepherd pictures on <i>While You're Awake</i>, too—I have a German Shepherd, and she's my favorite dog I've ever owned or known. <i>When Frozen Days Melt</i> looks adorable too.<br /><br />By the way, there's a linky in my post, if you want to link up there!Elisabeth Grace Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073159989691222645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-56689003089830024312015-11-19T09:26:25.197-07:002015-11-19T09:26:25.197-07:00Aw how fun, Amber! :) I love your pin and soundtra...Aw how fun, Amber! :) I love your pin and soundtrack boards!
