I agree it would make a great gift. I've read it at least one hundred times. True. Money from the sales of this book will go to North Carolina Writers Network West for programs, workshops, and expenses. Thank you all who buy it.You are promoting writing in the far west mountains of North Carolina where writers sometimes feel forgotten. NCWN West is a professional organization for writers. The book itself is filled with the best writing. Some contributors are Kathryn Stripling Byer, Bettie M. Sellers, Janice Townley Moore, Steven Harvey, Tomas Rain Crowe, Lanna Hendershott, Nancy Percell, and many more, with and a two page introduction written by Robert Morgan. Thanks for thinking of us.Nancy Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06468975663711270696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-892503517666471046.post-70780420933316626542010-12-11T00:08:04.791-05:002010-12-11T00:08:04.791-05:00I own both of your latest books which I recommend ...I own both of your latest books which I recommend as great gifts, but I would also recommend Living Above the Frost Line by Nancy Simpson. Thank you for mentioning Echoes across the Blue Ridge - it is a terrific book and makes a fine gift.<br />I recently ordered Lessons in Forgetting (Main Street Rag) by Pinehurst poet Malaika King Albrecht. Those poems hit hard and two of them brought tears. Malaika presented the dark and the light in this painful journey of losing her mother to this dread disease and I am recommending this book to everyone I know.Glenda Beallhttp://www.profillesandpedigrees.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
