Dear EJ, Oh, you’ve given me a gift with your warm words here! Heartfelt thanks! Thrilled you spent time at Ty Mawr and Colonial Williamsburg for 5 days 🙂 Re-readers like you make my authorial world go round, truly. You get the very best from my books and make all that research worthwhile. I’m deep into novel 12 even as A Bound Heart is almost ready to release in January. I hope your library picks up this next Scottish tale. Bless you for being here. You inspire me to keep pressing on!

Congratulations and a big hug from a loyal reader. I read The Lacemaker twice in 5 days. I just couldn’t get enough and couldn’t return it to the library until I had experienced once again that great love story. You surely deserve your blessed award for all the blessings you bestow on your fans who love your work.

Your gracious words mean so very much, Mary Kay. Wish we could celebrate and go to Scotland! 🙂 I never thought I’d win but the Lord knew it was my dream before I retired writing. I don’t plan on that soon but writing sure is a season. Yes, our soldier is getting ready to land in the next few minutes from Virginia and it’s a swirling snowy white all over KY! Hope you and your loved ones have the most peaceful Thanksgiving ever!

We, your readers, have long been thinking your writing deserves this award and this one is thrilled for you. And receiving it is doubly touching given your deep love and connection to those same hills and valleys and people as Christy. I’ve spent time in Appalachia and love it, but even those who haven’t feel as if they have when they read your stories. Thank you for the heart and soul and love you pour into them.

You and your family are in our prayers. Thrilled you will all be together for the holidays. May they be filled with peace, love, and the joy only God can shower on you. Happy writing on novel 12. (Twelve?! Time flies. 🙂 )

Oh, you were certainly with me in spirit last Wednesday at the Christy Gala, Mary Jill! All I could think of as I stood there with that piece of glass was how wonderful reading friends like you are. God is truly amazing at how he brings people together through a mutual love of books. So appreciate your prayers in this big chapter of change for us. Please know I pray for you and your loved ones, too. Hope this Thanksgiving blesses you beyond measure!

Oh, so happy you checked back in, Cindy. Thrilled your mom made a miraculous recovery! Yes, email woes are at an end. Mine to you didn’t arrive either, looks like. For the record lol, here is my new account which seems full proof, thankfully. And thank you for your patience! laura@laurafrantz.net I shudder at the things I’ve missed! Google email can’t go wrong, I pray 🙂 I’m doing the 30 days of gratitude on Instagram this month and will add your dear mom to my thankful list. I know this will be special Thanksgiving for you and your family. Bless you for being here. You’ve been missed!

I tried to send you an email a few weeks ago and it was returned back to me. All is well and my mom is home and healthy after a month in icu! Praise God. Thank you for your prayers.
