I enjoy reading about authors and their books! It is interesting to learn about the person behind the book and their life experiences. Thanks, Cindi

It seems like my hedge is more of an overgrown thorn bush. Fear and vexation hold my hand. I’ll probably never let my musings see the light of day, but it’s nice to imagine that one day I might get a ladder.

Really enjoyed your post

What a wonderful post! I am ashamed to admit I haven’t read any of Harriet’s books but plan to now! I am also from Ohio and am very interested in reading Ohio Angels. It was inspiring to read how Harriet walked through the hedge and blossomed as a wonderful writer! I will be sharing this post on my blog as well.

I’ve been looking forward to this post ever since I saw your name on the “Authors Coming to 1st Books” list. Thank you for a beautiful post. I also love the image of walking through the hedge.

Very inspiring. This is why I love blogs about and by authors. We really get the sense that we know the authors. Thank you for allowing us in.

I figured out how to get to the post and was able to copy and read your lyrical piece on how you came to writing. It has the flow (and sadness, in a way) I so much admired in your novel Someone Not Really Her Mother. And so well formed and clear, as in lake. Lovely writing indeed. Thanks.
