- It looks good, Rob. Thanks! Robert Bixby posted the 8th chapter in his comment, so readers can delve into a later part of the book--Esther and Davis Lee's first real date.
I think the section you paraphrased and quoted from is provocative and hopefully will get some responses!

- Rob, thanks so much for posting our anthology Clothes Lines. And thank you, Kay, for the plug and for posting it on your blog. Celia Miles and I had a ball at our "office"--McDonald's in Biltmore--chosing submissions and editing the book. We are very glad to have such a collective positive response to our book.

Angela Dove said… - Rob,
Haven't had time to explore your forums, but I'm looking forward to it. Meanwhile, I just got a booking at M is for Murder in the San Francisco Bay area. While I'm excited about my other bookings out west, this one seems genuinely fun.
Hope to see you face to face at a reading locally. Coffee's on me.

I sent and email to Beth who was to pass the info along to the Artist's Way group. i'd say they are taking their own sweet time. So let's open the gates and let people join up.
What say?

Blue, blue farscape,
Wave upon wave of mountains.
What others strode here before me?
Did they marvel at what they saw?
Earth seems so empty,
Trackless forest, fields and hills.
I feel the spirits of the old ones
As they pass this way still.

Mr. Hart, author of "3000 Miles in the Great Smokies," and Mr Slusser, author of "In the Near Loss of Everything," will read from and sign copies of their books.
Some writers can use language to create images that evoke the gamut of emotions. Some writers can tell a darn good story. But not every writer can do both.
Paula Kane, a long-time student in the Great Smokies Writing Program, is a card-carrying m...
