Please let us know when we can order our Christmas book. We'll all read #7 first, I bet.<br /><br />Angie, if you can write, submit, and publish during this time, then all of us can. No more excuses.

It was her first book! Melinda has suffered from panic attacks since her teens. Melinda quit high school in the 11th grade and got a GED because of the attacks. Melinda Haynes never went to college.<br />She has written three wonderful books.<br />I have a quote on my sidebar from Melinda about this very subject.<br />I do not believe " southern writing" can be taught in a class room! It comes from "within" and from "place". That is why the South has so many wonderful writers! <br /><br /> CarolCarol Murdockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749285023748227382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3209554659260661100.post-57897319659078862352009-04-29T13:55:00.000-05:002009-04-29T13:55:00.000-05:00Angie, whoo hoo congrats on the story and check!!!...Angie, whoo hoo congrats on the story and check!!!<br /><br />Great interview!!
