Now I ain’t cheap, but I can be had.
Jack Colton : My minimum price for taking a stranded lady to a telephone is 400 dollars.
Joan Wilder : Will you take 375 in traveler’s checks?
Jack Colton : American Express?
Joan Wilder : Of course.
Jack Colton : You’ve got a deal.

Ladies in Defiance 
Oh my stars, I ADORE that movie!!! “Look at those snappers!!” The bad guy always admiring the crocs. Haha! So many good parts to their adventure. One of my faves is “little mule”, and the owner! When he discovers she is THE Joan Wilder I die laughing! And the village men’s reactions! Ah, such a good one. Ok, enough movie reminiscing. All your books are fabulous so I’m sure this one is no different.
You tickle me, Susan. Such fun memories of a great movie. Thank you for the kind words!

I’ve no quote, but a bit of trivia.
The mountain scenes where Joan is on a bus.. those were filmed in the state of Durango in Mexico. My siblings, mom and I rode a bus through those mountains to get from Torreón, Coahuila to Tijuana when returning to the US from an extended stay with family.
Our bus did not have animal passengers, but the bus driver did pick up more passengers than the bus had seats after leaving the bus station.

I remembered my favorite thought from the movie:
Joan’s editor calls her a “world-class hopeless romantic”
Joan replies, “No. Hopeful. Hopeful romantic.”
Ah, Mary Ellen! Great stories. Thank you!

I’d read and review anything you write, Heather! The South American characters always calling her by her full author name “Joan Wilder,” and how in awe they are of her romance books. Cracks me up each and every time. Great movie.

Aw, thank you, Ewenique. You should go watch this movie if you’re not familiar with it. It’s hilarious. Danny DeVito is priceless.

I love all of your books. If I don’t win a chance to a free one I will buy one! 😀 Sorry, I never saw Romancing the Stone movie. Didn’t go to movies very often. But I truly love the Ladies of Defiance books. Thanks for writing such great books. I truly appreciate your hard work and I enjoy each and every one of them. God Bless you Heather. 🙂
Betty, you are awesome. Thank you so much for your support. And as far as this movie goes, if you get a chance, watch it. It’s pretty dang entertaining. Michael Douglas at his best.

I love the stories you write and would be honored to receive a free copy..
I think this was from the movie. It might have been from a sequel? Sharon Stone character asked an aboriginal man in appropriate garb if the bat he was eating tasted good. He said “Nah, needs garlic.”
Wilma, that’s from one of the Crocodile Dundee movies–another great flick! Thank you, thank you!
