It is great that you put some "sex scenes" and some intimacy into your books because it helps us to better picture the characters, identify with them more closely, and for all involved to feel human. It's great that Kate and Jack and Kate and Jim are intimate, because it's real. I love when Wy and Liam have descriptive intimate moments because it's romantic, and it causes the reader to see and feel more instinctive needs of the characters. If anything, add more details of sex and daily life functions because: it's real. Keep it up Dana!! Carlen Dana,as you have put it: sex and love are true parts of our lives.

I just finished Hunter's Moon and I can't stand that Jack died!!! I can't wait until tomorrow to go to the library and get the next book. I'm 68, a school counselor, and I think your books have just the right amount of religion and sex. Keep it up. But what is Kate going to do without Jack??????? Omigod!

From an older person's perspective, the sexual activities are (hopefully) part of a normal life. The only question I have is that birth control is never mentioned. Just finished re-reading Singing of the Dead and see the similarity of the financial history of Alaska with Seattle's. A woman named Lou Graham owned "sporting houses" in the late 1800's and helped finance some of the famous pioneers with banks, stores, etc. Enjoyed these comments.

I can think of a couple of authors who have gone too far, and ended up with increasingly hardcore porm, but the Kate books don't fall into this category. I love these books and feel no problem in reccomeding them to high school age readers...

I own them all, and look forward to the next ones with excitement. I love the way you develop your characters, their life experiences, and the reality of Alaska. Intimate moments are natural and well done. Thanks for writing these very enjoyable stories!

Just a wild guess. Ain't it so unfair that in order to keep our heros alive, we can't allow them any peace? It started a long time ago - look at what Ulysses had to go through :-) I quake in fear - my gut tells me that it’s time for Johnny to bite off more than he can chew (my older daughter just turned 13 and she does that…) Just a wild guess.
