I've told the story many times, and glossed over it in other blogs, but this was the first time I sat down and wrote about it in detail. It was harder than I thought it would be. I'm glad you all enjoyed reading the story. Thanks again, and have a wonderful holiday, Debby Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10803946967534915248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975156172068685702.post-30629954305495717872012-12-03T12:32:51.665-06:002012-12-03T12:32:51.665-06:00That was a bad fire.

No little fire is going to stop them. <br />A Cascade Christmas is in my TBR pile and I'm looking forward to a nice holiday read this month.

What a great setting for a romance! So sorry about Toledo - that can be so devastating for a small community. Congratulations on your success with your publisher and the agent. I hope you have lots of sales!Lacey Falconehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818824629009067182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975156172068685702.post-43814241235225868412012-12-03T00:17:14.555-06:002012-12-03T00:17:14.555-06:00I grew up in Tumwater and love it's history. ...I grew up in Tumwater and love it's history.

LOL. Thanks for sharing with us, I know that this was traumatic for you. I'm so glad a phoenix rose from the ashes and I hope the town is recovering well, too.Anna Kathryn Lanierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607469543348819190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975156172068685702.post-79284751944205122332012-12-02T22:45:09.580-06:002012-12-02T22:45:09.580-06:00Debby, that must have been terrible.

I probably would have had a Scarlett O'Hara moment, too. So glad to know your story will be available, and I am going to get my copy of it, for sure. This is a very inspiring blog! I wish I had had this recipe of yours when my dad was still living--his favorite thing in the world was chocolate covered cherries!<br />CherylCheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.com
