REVIEWS!
The reviews are in, and The Sweetgum Knit Lit Society is a hit!
From Publishers' Weekly:
"...A sweet story of redemption that will go down well with knitters as well as the knitting-challenged."
From BookPage:
"...perfect summer reading material."
From A Patchwork of Books:
"...a book you'll fall in love with."
For those of you who have been asking about a sequel, never fear! I just turned in the manuscript for The Sweetgum Ladies
Knit for Love. With any luck, it will be out next May.
Enjoy your summer, read lots of books, and don't forget the sunscreen.
Happy reading!

Here's the cover for my May '08 release, The Sweetgum Knit Lit Society.
Here's a brief description:
Sometimes life has to unravel before you can knit it together...
On the third Friday of each month, Eugenie, Ruth, Esther, Merry, and Camille meet at the Sweetgum Christian Church to
enjoy the two things that connect them: a love of knitting and a passion for books. Their camaraderie remains unthreatened
until Eugenie, the town librarian, introduces an angry teenager into their midst. Eugenie also gives them a new reading list
-- the classic novels of girlhood that young Hannah has never read. Little Women. Pollyanna. Heidi. Books that remind the
women of the hopes and dreams they have lost along the way.
With each click of their needles, the ladies of the Knit Lit Society unravel their secrets - submerged truths begging
to be revealed. A shadow from Eugenie's past haunts the controlled order of her life. Merry's perfect little family is growing
again - but will she continue to feel her identity slip away? Camille dreams of leaving town but is bound by ties of love.
And the sisters, Ruth and Esther, must confront a lie they have lived with for over thirty years.
As Hannah is reluctantly stitched into their lives, the women discover that even in sleepy Sweetgum, Tennessee, they can
still be the heroines of their own stories.
8.01.06 -- Heavens To Betsy won the prestigious RITA award from the Romance Writers of America for the Best Inspirational
Romance of 2006.
