Literary Gratitude

There is nothing like an unsolicited rave e-mail review from a fellow romance writer to pull Friend Jeanell up out of the depths. Thank you, Evelyn Palfrey.
*
And, while she's at it, thank you, Janece Hudson, for the wonderful rescue review and for your continuing support and advice.
*
And thank you, Louisa Edwards, for your cheerleading and inside view of the industry.
*
And a special thanks to Carol Fox for arranging Jeanell's book-signing at Java Junction on Tuesday.  And to all the friends, relatives, and ARWA members who've been supportive of Jeanell's journey.

When Fiorella was in college--lo, these many years ago--she researched her learned papers by consulting library tomes.  Now that Fiorella is writing novels, she researches by consulting her friends.  For her current work, she consulted Joan Barton, Carol Fox, Gary Wofford, and Michelle Wyckoff about ranches and cattle.  For horsemanship, she turned to Joan again and to Husband.  Judy Scott and Carrie Nelson were her civic theater experts. Paula Marks knows everything there is to know about the history of the American West.  

First hand beats the flinders out of library tomes.
