Oh yes we DID need your reviews, Gary! Lord only knows how we needed them! People I didn't know wrote me about that review. I was dazzled -- thought, If the book were half as fine as this review, what might it do? Writers desperately need REAL insig…
Oh, law yes, Kathryn! There is this Here-we-are-in-the-lifeboat syndrome of the Published, with the wave-washed cries of the still-trying going on all around.. My sympathies are so with them -- because it is, a lot of times, just a matter of luck, o…
I appreciate everyone who responded to my inquiry about marketing tips. I too need to know what works and what doesn't.
Kathryn, what a wonderful look at the Other Side of blogging -- Goodness yes, it seems to be working for you and don't you change a thing! Part of the difference in viewpoint here I am sure is age -- I am right up there with the bristlecone pine, as…
Please forgive what's maybe a wet blanket opinion from a really old rat in this barn --
All we hear out of the "experts" these days is Blog, Blog, Blog. I have a weird feeling that these "experts" have -- by and large -- not done a lot of book-promo…
When we get into the business of promoting, these hometown gals are a gold mine -- I have seen writers shoot themselves in the foot by overlooking what they consider the "little people" -- the rooms where a dozen REAL readers are gathered together.…

- Mrs. Jackson~Hey there from Dacusville! I was thrilled to find you as a member on this website. I haven't been on here in forever...but, I did want to send you a quick comment to ask if you received the letter I had sent to you. I mailed it priority after meeting you at your house a couple of months ago with my aunt (Sandra McAlister). It meant so much to all of us that I just had to write to you as soon as I could. I wanted to make sure you got it, as I filled the envelope slap full of goodies:) You just let me know if I need to getta hold of the post office in the event that it did not arrive. I can't even imagine how busy you must be or how many letters you are getting...but if you get the chance, I would love to hear back from you. If you want to email me you can at PresentsotheLord@aol.com.
Blessings,
April McConnell Leland

I have a favor to ask you-remember back a few weeks ago we were discussing springs and water in the folklorist group-could I use part of your comment on my blog? I'm writing a post about spring water and wanted to add your thoughts to it. I will give you credit of course and link it back to something if you want me to. You can let me know if it's o.k. or not.

- Dot-I guess I am quite a bit younger than you are-I'm 38. I don't remember hearing about the Doc from the mine. But I bet my mother's family knew him. She was raised in Ranger-and most of her brothers-uncles-and her father all worked at the mine back then. One brother worked there until it changed over to what it is today-some kinda chemical company. I wish there were more doctors like that now. A dollar-hard to imagine.
I bet you have some interesting stories about the dams. I wrote a piece about the TVA lakes a while back. If you'd like to look at it here is the link http://www.blindpigandtheacorn.com/blind_pig_the_acorn/2008/09/tva-in-southern.html. I didn't realize Fontanna is one of the tallest Dams in the US until I researched for the post.
I'm glad I met up with you too! I talked with Aunt Hazel last night-and told her I'd be sending her your sweet comment about your own Christmas memory. She can hardly wait to read it.
Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!!

- Dot-I'm so glad you enjoyed Aunt Hazel's memory! I printed out your comment to mail to her. She lives in Gastonia.
I was born in Copperhill so I know what you mean about Ducktown. I haven't been through Hothouse in a long time though.
I hope you'll share more of your memories with me.

Hi Margaret:
Could you share a little more information about what you are looking for?
Is this fiction or nonfiction?
Narrative or photo-oriented?
Are you looking for editorial guidance in terms of mentoring you on the direction of the book (i.e…

Also, is there a direct website that would allow me to take a closer look at Loving Ruby?
I was thinking of ordering this book for my 2 1/2 year old nephew in Oregon who LOVES to "read." Would Loving Ruby be too advanced with regards to basic subject comprehension for a boy his age? His parents obviously would read the story but I would…
