Nancy,
This is a beautiful photo of you. I sure hope you are doing well. I've not called because I didn't want to disturb your resting.
I am amazed at how fabulous ECHOES ACROSS THE BLUE RIDGE is! The cover, the prose, the poetry, the comments by Lee Smith, Robert Morgan, and Ron Rash, are terrific. I give credit to our fantastic editor for pulling this all together. Have a great weekend.
Thanks so much, Brenda Kay. I too am amazed by Echoes Across the Blue Ridge. I've re read it as though I had never seen the words before. It will always be one of my favorites because it holds the work of so many writers I know and trust.
Are you going to the publication party in Sylva?
yes, this is a lovely photo, Nancy. I know you class will be great, also.
I agree with Brenda. You can be very proud of being editor of Echoes Across the Blue Ridge. I think all of us in NCWN West should be proud of the anthology and appreciative of all your hard work.
