Hi Debra, congratulations on your new release! I’ve not read any of your books yet, but now I really want to. Everywhere She Turns sounds fantastic. Having never lived in anything but a fairly large city, it’s hard for me to imagine what it would be like in a town like yours. However, I have seen neighborhoods that were run down and watching people rebuild them back up. It’s been fun watching the new life in those parts of the city.

Like Maria, I’ve never really considered my life to be terribly exciting or book-worthy, but from your post and your responses, I can see that even the smallest things can become important if we make them that way. Has your real life ever been part of any of your other books?

Debra, welcome to RNTV. I have to say your true life sounds very intriguing, which means I’d probably just love your book! I applaud your family’s efforts to stick it out and make a home.

Susan, thanks so much for sharing that story. I hope that in cities all across the nation folks will learn to treasure the past and repurpose old homes.

It was my privilege to get an advance peek at EVERYWHERE SHE TURNS. You delivered in spades with this one, my friend! Like all your romantic suspense novels, the book is jam packed with great characters, and the story is gritty, gutsy, gripping and altogether wonderful. Now, about your house… It has been such fun to watch the grand old mill house being transformed. Even more fun is hearing the excitement and determination in your voice as you discuss plans for the house. You have all the courage of your heroines. Best of luck on both the house and the new book!

Hi Debra, good to join in today and i was impressed on the background where you live. We saw so much of the same in this are in two ways. One was when there were many railroad towns and families would be able to get all their needs from just one store..usually the owner of the store would also be the landlord of their homes and they lived in rows. Naturally the homes were close to the railroad so you can imagine no too many were white..or at least not for long. As the railroads went out these towns turned into ghost towns and it was sad. The same went for when coal mining was much bigger than it is now,towns came about in about the same way. I wish you luck on your house..it will be worth it when it is the way you want it. Hope you have a good day blogging. susan L.
