Gail and Pam, thrift stores are definitely at the top of my list for great places to find used books. I like the 'sleeping in' idea on Saturdays more now too, Gail. :-)

Peggy,
I'm glad you've finally had the chance to discover the 'good' of yard hoppin' :-) I hope you get a chance to read The Thorn Bearer. I'm looking forward to discovering what the rest of this series will look like too :-)

Re: The Thorn Bearer (1:37pm May 8, 2015):

Good to hear, Angela! And I love the Victorian era too. Such a cool time in history!

Re: The Thorn Bearer (1:36pm May 8, 2015):

Peggy,
Thanks! Life is pretty busy! Being a mom is one of the best blessings in my life (even if it's also one of the craziest :-)

I hope you enjoy the journey with my characters. I loved writing the story, even if some of the research nearly made me weep!

Re: The Thorn Bearer (1:34pm May 8, 2015):

Hylla,
I love books that could be true - especially when the characters are strong and memorable!
