Well, Nancy, I have been reading back your blog posts. Time well spent, most enjoyable. I will be coming back often.

We certainly do have many gifted writers in Net West. Your presentation and pictures of their books is awe inspiring.

Thanks Pat. Don't the books look good? Today I heard on the the news that people with blogs were getting big bucks and gifts to recommend things. Soon we may have to declare how much money we get paid or declare any gifts we receive. You know I spread the word because I believe in these writers. There are so few opportunities for them here in the mountains. I want to see these books sold and read. I do not get paid for showing their books, and I would not take pay if offered.
