I would like to announce the winner of the copy of "Why I Left the Amish." When I put all the names together, I had 33 names for David to choose from... 33 is my favorite number. (There were two duplicate posts by the same person, making it 33 instead of 35.
So, without further ado, I would like to announce Carol N. Wong as the winner of a copy of my memoir "Why I Left the Amish." Carol, I see that you have left your email address (very handy), so I'll be emailing you shortly for your address.
Congratulations, Carol!
To all who faithfully commented on my blog during my absence -- thank you! Two weeks ago, I was at a library in Indiana, responding to a whole string of comments here and somehow I lost them. Darn! Then, minutes later, I had an accident that made my book tour a lot more hectic. I was walking along on a sidewalk, when my toe caught in the lip of the sidewalk, and I fell, face forward, so quickly I didn't have time to put my hands out. That landed me in emergency care, getting my face stitched up instead of driving to Ida, Michigan, where I had a book talk scheduled. I had stitches put in my forehead and on the bridge of my nose. I covered the stitches with Band-Aids and I ended up with dark purple bruises around my eyes that I had to explain during each of my subsequent book talks.
This is all to say that I didn't get back to rewriting those comments, but I wanted to let you know I appreciate them all the same. I will answer the questions soon, though I will first be writing posts about the different Amish communities we visited during this trip. I will be sharing photos in each post.
Two weeks away from home is a long time, we found out. We are now on vacation in our own home. So nice! The sun is peeping out from between fluffy white clouds after a day and a half of rain as I look out over the town of Sunderland. The trees have lost most of their leaves, though there are some that remain colorful. We missed most of the foliage here in Massachusetts by being away for more than two weeks.
Have a wonderful weekend, all, and I'll be back soon.

ReplyDeleteHope you're healing in good time. I have a history with personal meetings with sidewalks -- I feel your pain. Enjoy your stacation! :)
Oh, Saloma, I'm glad you're okay! I took a much needed break from blogging so I missed your recent posts.
ReplyDeleteI'm finally back to doing reviews and I can't wait to hear how you and David are doing with your next book.
