I feel good as a brand new puppy!  News abounds from near and far! Below is a clip from the site, THE GOOD BOOK GUIDE. Just to show that they screen new books and mine made their cut! ALL ROADS LEAD TO HAZARD is now also being considered for use in Appalachian Studies college classes. See why it is gaining recognition in this corner of the world and everywhere!

From THE GOOD BOOK GUIDE...

We select books purely on merit, each one passing through a rigorous selection and reading panel, and we recommend them for a variety of reasons - because they're great reads, or provoke us or are particularly exciting examples of their genre - but in every case they strike a chord with us and we want to share our enthusiasm with you. We hope you enjoy the books which we recommend.

From me...

If you buy only one book this Christmas, this is the one! ALL ROADS LEAD TO HAZARD takes your heart around the bend. Let me bend your ear with my contemporary storytelling. Appalachia is deep within all of us; deep as your own bones.
