Journey Into the Lives of Women, One Story at a Time.
I’ve really enjoyed your responses to my new website. Lots of you have entered the Celebration Giveaway and commented as you did on what you appreciated most. In particular many of you enjoy the ease of navigation, the colors and photos we used on the home page, the book section, and how easy it makes it to both find books in series and to click on relevant bookstore links to buy them.
Seems to me it’s time to answer a few of the questions I’ve received in my email in recent weeks. Everyone gets personal responses, of course–and yes, that’s really me answering them–but some of the answers might interest the rest of you, too.
1–I just read One Mountain Away, and I loved the book, but did it really have to end that way?
Recently I had the joy of receiving this email from one of my readers, Joyce in Maryland. The story of Aunt Verdie is so lovely that I asked Joyce if I could share it with you. My fondest wish for everyone reading this is that you have or have had an Aunt Verdie in your life.
I had so much fun answering questions a few months ago that I decided to ask for more on my Facebook Page to go with some I’ve saved from emails. In the future, if you have a question that’s not answered on my website at my FAQ (under Bio at the top), please email me to ask directly.
Dear Ms. Richards,
Recently I found your Shenandoah Album books and read them all. Sure I had found an author I could admire and trust, I went back and read some of your other novels. I found several words that I don’t even want to “think.” I am now ashamed to be seen with your novels. I hope you are happy.
