Barbara: Thanks so much for all the great books you've written over the years. I've been reading Regency romances since I was in high school (a really long time ago), but you are one of my favorite authors. Humor is an important part of my relationship with my husband, so I enjoy reading romances with humor in them. I'm looking forward to your next book.

How nice to know that so many other women enjoy your clean, clever writing as I do. (I like your Groucho Marx quote. You often use the same surprise twist in your own humor.) The very best writing makes me happy, and yours does that. Many thanks for the hours you spend creating it.

I have been enjoying your books since I picked up the first one. Unfortunately no store around me sells Regency novels, so annoying! Whenever I find a store that does I always check first for your books, I love to laugh and you have such a way with the humor in your books. Thanks for all the great stories, you've given me many hours of reading pleasure.

Dear Barbara, have been a fan for long time, glad to see some of the old ones reissued and tickled to see new ones ahead. Enjoyed Grand Hotel, I took it with on vacation, so you know I wanted something I would really enjoy while riding in the car. Good luck with the future. take care, Marilyn, The Regency Lover's Cafe, http://regencycafe.tripod.com/regencycafeindex.html

I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much i enjoy your novels. They always give me that "warm and fuzzy" feeling in my tummy, with humor thrown it the mix to keep my side aching!! I just started reading "Valentines" for the third time, and i don't think i will EVER get tired of 'The King'. You have a wonderful website and keep up the wonderful writting, you bring such joy to so many :)

Hallo, I've been a fan of yours since I first read, um... I think it was probably 'Lady Whilton's Wedding' I quickly scoured bookshelves for more, though. The sense of fun and laughter that you bring to the books is possibly my favorite part.

That, and they make me giggle and chuckle and laugh outright at times. I don't have a favorite, although 'The Primrose Path' tops my list along with 'Father Christmas' (I'm sorry, but the line about the Duke of Ware needing an heir is terribly catchy... ;)

Thank you for these books. :)

Hi Barbara, I am so pleased because I have been able to get lots of your early novels on hardtofindbooks.com. In June I ended up with four old ones and the two new ones that was WONDERFUL. I am disappointed that you are not producing another new one until next April. I have found a few more good authors but still NOONE as good as you. Thank you. Gillian

Hi, Barbara. My daughter and I both really enjoy your writing and you wonderful sense of humor. It's hard to put your books down once we start reading them. We are always looking for more books and I was glad to find your website which includes new books to watch for. We'll be first in line for the new ones. What state are the craft shows in? I live in Illinois, will you be in area anytime soon? Please keep up the excellent writing.

Hi there Barbara, I had never read a regency before I one day picked up Miss Lockharte's Letters, and now I am hooked. Your sense of humor makes you by far the best regency author I have read. I especially enjoyed the beginnings to each chapter of "Saved by Scandal"

I'm contacting "The Book Fairy" to see if she has any of your later books. I have some of them (I've been reading you for years because of the good, 'clean' fun and stories), but I definitely want the rest of them. Thanks for the mini vacations ... my house has never looked messier, but my imagination and your books have taken me on a weekend vacation.

Barbara, Thanks for the book listing. I love HERO and I agree with the comment that said a "Worthy Woof" would be a great sequel for Kenyon and Aurora!! I love all animals and your books never disappoint me, because of the humor, animals and romance all in one. I am printing the list of all books and will set out a hot pursuit to locate them so I might enjoy more hours of reading during summer vacation.

This is a great site! I'm glad to be introduced to Hero as well as to get the backlist of my favorite Regency author. I especially like books with canine (or feline) characters. I think A Worthy Woof should be the sequel to A Worthy Wife (Aurora and Kenyon are inundated with puppies...)

I have loved your books from the moment I read An Angel for the Earl. If I need something to read a Barbara Metzger is my first choice. The book A Worthy Wife is completely worn out from so many rereadings and I've only received that a few weeks ago. I love your books, the ones that I can find that is. Keep up the good work!!!

Just had to take a minute to let you know how much I have enjoyed your books. Was only just recently introduced to your work by a UBS owner in Lexington, Ky. I've read four so far, starting with 'An Affair of Interest'. I read the last one 'Miss Treadwell's Talent' one night while my husband was at home. I tried to control my laughter but too often I would find myself just laughing uncontrollably. I was right about my husband's reaction. I think he's ready to have me committed. Thank you for hours of fun.

Dear Ms. Metzger: I have been one of your greatest fans since the early 1980's. I can always count on you to get a large dose of humor into your stories; you are pretty much the only author I've read who handles non-human characters so expertly. Keep 'em coming! I've trained other commuters on the train to ignore me when I laugh out loud at your books--they hardly sidle away anymore. Without fail I purchase every title of yours I can find to add to my re-read collection. And the friends to whom I've recommended you agree wholeheartedly. Thanks for all the great hours of enjoyment and good Regency fun; thanks for keeping things light.

Had to make some time to acknowledge your talents. As I am Regency fan, particulary, Signet, you are one of the best authors, weaving humor, mystery, fantasy and romance into the most intriguing plots. Needless to say I have a hard time putting any of your books down, but your latest The Wordthy Wife, kept me entertained through most of the night. Afterall I have to get some sleep, but skipped chores to indulge the next day.

Barbara, I just got through touring your site. Love it. Almost as much as I love your books. I printed up your backlist so I can get down to some serious looking now.

I love the picture of Hero. He makes a wonderful cover model for the book.

I have added Saved From Scandal to my list to order. July is so loooong though.

I have had to buy 3 different "Father Xmas" because they keep disappearing and I must have a permanent copy for my library. There are times when I must have it to read. Just like "Primrose Path" which sends me into stitches frequently during my read. I do so look forward to your books. Any I can find I keep. Keep up the terrific job. You are so talented with comedy. So few people are. As you can tell from my e-mail address I am addicted to Regencies, as is my 91 year old Mom, who lives with me.
