I discovered your book Old Wounds on a trip thru Hot Springs at the hiking shop. Well to say I a Kentucky girl was hooked.....well yeah,Hook line and sinker. Many of my ancestors were from NC so my Western Ky roots are very used to the bumfuzzeled & the dialect. Funny how dialect carries over. Those ancestors got to Ky in about 1830's and my grandmother spoke much the same way 140 years later. I so love your books they remind me of that same grandmother. It is like hearing her talk again! My husband & I got the chance to go to Wildacres 2 years ago attending a jewelry making class for a week! What a wonderful experience one that I hope to have again. Between Wildacres & your books I discovered mountain magic (my husband already had that bug walking the AT)! Please never stop writting you have become my favorite author. Sorry Larry McMurtry! I just finished The Day of Small Things yes at 3:00am. It was just a lovely book.Mona Ferrellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-58572137352660770152010-06-11T22:15:26.953-04:002010-06-11T22:15:26.953-04:00I can see that I'd best get busy and write an ...I can see that I'd best get busy and write an ending . . .Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-50680250853171755342010-06-11T17:41:35.238-04:002010-06-11T17:41:35.238-04:00Why didn't you finish it right then so I could...Why didn't you finish it right then so I could continue reading : ) I'm already into it-so I can't wait to see what happens next.Tipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11714281090985487356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-43945194503569084912010-06-07T22:47:31.821-04:002010-06-07T22:47:31.821-04:00I really like this story.

I read through that twice, ands will be interested in the rest of the story. The photo and the description of the man "hunkering down" in that squat reminds me of my Uncle John who'd squat like that anywhere; to me that is not doable nor comfortable, but Uncle John did it forever, said he never needed to wory about a chair because he had his squat always with him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093078029028920810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-27346907928050837582010-06-05T08:57:48.075-04:002010-06-05T08:57:48.075-04:00Totally hooked.
