So nice to find you on twitter, and I’m so glad I stopped by your blog. Appalachian fiction! Girl, I’m from the Appalachians (moving back there soon). Yes, I get that whole mountain vibe. What a great success story, I’ll have to read some of your older posts. But a three-book deal is awesome!

I just signed with a great agent and I know my waiting period has just begun, ALL OVER AGAIN…sigh. But to get these books into the hands of the readers who need them is so worth it.

Feel free to stop by my blog (http://www.heatherdaygilbert.blogspot.com) or find me on twitter @vikingwritergal (Yes, my book is about Vikings! The old ones, not the team! grin). I’ll be signing up for your blog!

Joanne,
Its been a long time since I first read part of youu Appalachian tales in critique group. They were great then and I'm sure readers will gobble up the first three and want more. I'm sure I'll be ordering some. All the best!
Blessings.

Congrats, Joanne! What a great piece of news! I missed it last week while on my tour, but I am really happy to hear it. And I'm excited that it's Appalachian, too. I look forward to reading it.

Oh, Joanne, those months of waiting had to be sooo tough, but what a thrill it must have been to receive The Call as a reward for your patience. Every time I think about your BIG news, I sport a huge grin. I'm sooo happy for you.
