Gloria Houston commented on Jerry Stubblefield's blog post People are Stealing My Ideas!"Anyone who writes has seen other publications or productions which utilize concepts or ideas from their own work.

Gloria Houston posted a blog postThe Muses Bookstore in Morganton is closing at the end of March

Owned by a mother daughter team, Shirley Sprinkle and Kelly Treiber, readers could depend on their evaluations and recommendations about what to read. Someone working in the store has always read every book on their shelves. Alas, independent bookstores such as theirs are disappearing.

Gloria Houston replied to Rob Neufeld's discussion The Devil amongst the Lawyers by Sharyn McCrumb"Great review, Rob!
Sharyn's latest novel was, as usual, a pleasure to read. Her characters are well drawn, and the joy most of us who are natives of the southern Appalachians find in her skewering portrayals of the negative stereotyping we…"
