    My favorite remains Lady Luck’s Map of Vegas – you really nailed ‘the way things were’ — everyone I know of an age to remember those days says so. Am giving a copy to a friend who dealt 21 & blackjack in Reno in those days but left the job because they demanded she go topless. She has lots of stories about Vegas back then.

    Hi Barbara!
    Congratulations on your new release! I am looking forward to reading it! I found you in the Barnes & Noble Bookstore in Pueblo, on a visit to see my mom in 2005. I read ‘No Place Like Home’, and being a native of Pueblo, I related to the many places and situations in your book. It is one of my favorites!
    Best always,
    Suzanne

    PS Thanks to all of you for the great comments. Liz, I hope you can come down to Colorado Springs for a signing at Barnes and Noble on Jan 17th. Julie, maybe you would enjoy it, too. I’m signing at the north store, by Chapel Hills.

    Suzanne, I am always so happy to meet Puebloans (past or present) who get the whole Pueblo thing in NPLH! One of the most fun books to write, ever. (And ditto to you about the signing–if you happen to be in Pueblo on Jan 9, I’m signing at B&N there).

    Janice, thx for the LLMof V comments. I’ve had a lot of comments on that book lately. Funny how that happens.

    Barbara, I am planning on come down for the signing in the Springs!

    Hi Barbara,
    I just read the first chapter of TSofE, hooked! My mom is from the foothills of northern New Mexico, I love it! Used to spend summer vacations visiting cousins near Rainsville. The food, family history, folk lore, is fabulous! Many good times, and such a beautiful spiritual connection there.
    Looking forward to the release!

    Suzanne

    Just finished Lost Recipe for Happiness… ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ being that I am an avid reader and I love to taste foods and cook! The recipe inserts were amazing, and I plan on using them!

    Can’t wait for your upcoming new book! Thank you for your wonderful, creative writing Barbara! :)
