Patricia Hickman has a way of getting under a character's skin and revealing their heart. It's one of the reasons I enjoy her writing so much.

Would love to read this Patricia Hickman work! I have been looking for her work at our local library and have had no luck yet. It is in the system, just not at the same branch that I was visiting at the time. I went to grade school with her and this would be a re-connection of sorts. babpa (at) sbcglobal (dot) net
Thanks!

How cool! Patty's on Facebook. Maybe you connect with her there.

Just wanted to let you know I stumbled on your site from Jean Fischer's site and I'm thankful I did. As a new writer with a new blog page, I'll be adding your blog as one of my links.
I know it will be as much as a blessing to those who read it as it has been to me and I hope it brings a little traffic from my little corner of the world.
Eternally His,

Hi Stephanie -
Thanks so much not only for your kind words, but also for linking to my blog and becoming a Follower. (Woohoo! You're number 70!)
I visited your blog and subscribed. Your most recent post beautifully presented the truth of running to Jesus when we have a problem and allowing Him to comfort us.
I'll be in touch. BTW, I post here Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Blessings,
Susan :)

oh, and I wanted to let you know about my blog address change. *sigh* If you're following me, my posts now won't show up in your feed, dashboard, sidebar, whatever. So please forgive me, but you'll have to change the address for my main writing blog, Where Romance Meets Therapy, to http://jeanniecampbell.blogspot.com. To do this, you have to "unfollow" me and follow me again. Sorry for the confusion!
