I'd feel worse about begging you all to buy if it were a $25 hardcover.<br /><br />Judy - <br />I met Susan Wittig Albert once when we were on a panel together. (Gardening mysteries was the theme.) A thoroughly nice woman!<br /><br />Jon - Thanks for the book recommendations! My husband is a big Wendell Berry fan and I've read and enjoyed several of his. Way to go with the second novel!!<br /><br />Victoria - You rock!Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183122592570097282.post-3133645395661552752010-09-01T15:42:00.845-07:002010-09-01T15:42:00.845-07:00I already pre-ordered from Amazon, but I've de...I already pre-ordered from Amazon, but I've decided to pre-order as many as I can afford from our local bookstore, McCabe's, and give them to my friends and family. I want you to get that new contract! <br /><br />VictoriaVictoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851516387194415387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183122592570097282.post-39011592455106245082010-09-01T10:17:11.373-07:002010-09-01T10:17:11.373-07:00CONGRATULATIONS on the book being available end of...CONGRATULATIONS on the book being available end of Sept. I'll order one or two, for me and as a gift. <br /><br />Just finished two very different books: Jaber Crow by Wendell Berry and Paddy Clarke Ha, Ha, Ha by Roddy Doyle. Berry's writing is lovely and the wandering memoir-like story kept me wondering where the hell it was going. It is more like a long meditation of what "modern life" can do to people and communities.<br /><br />With Roddy Doyle, there is no waiting around. The reader is plunged into the story. <br /><br />Hope your upcoming class goes well. You're a great teacher and role model for us beginner writers. Oh, I'm 220 pages into my second novel!<br />Best Wishes, Jon [9-1-10]Jon Michael Rileyhttp://www.jonmichaelriley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183122592570097282.post-72803727181823176622010-09-01T10:06:30.332-07:002010-09-01T10:06:30.332-07:00I, too, am looking forward to 'A Day of Small ...I, too, am looking forward to 'A Day of Small Things' Have preordered at B & N (dont' have an independent bookstore near me). <br /><br />Interesting comment from Carol Fletcher re Susan Wittig Albert. Vicki, you and Susan have so much in common. On top of both being teriffic writers with such true-to-life characters; you garden and do similar other crafts. I just wish you both could publish lots more books! :)Judy Shawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183122592570097282.post-57420174495931709282010-09-01T09:40:41.210-07:002010-09-01T09:40:41.210-07:00Very excited about the book, I wish it were out th...Very excited about the book, I wish it were out this weekend, I will be at City Lights on Saturday!

I will pre-order a copy at Malaprop's. Just a bit disappointed that it won't be out in time for the Carolina Mountain Literary Festival here in Burnsville the week-end after this.
