Loved the Lost Recipe for Happiness! Can’t wait for your new book!
Hi & Congrads!
I am a fellow Colorado Girl (Castle Rock/Grand Junction). I can’t even begin to tell you how much I enjoy your novels and look forward to the next one…as I am “The Secret of Everything). You rock!
Congrats on the new book!
I want to learn THE SECRET OF EVERYTHING and be as marvelous and your heroines.
I have been in a serious book slump, so you can imagine how thrilled I am about your book coming out!!
By the way, love the website design!
Your upcoming book sounds wonderful! I’m headed out tomorrow to get The Lost Recipe for Happiness. A big thank you to Susan Mallery for re-tweeting about you and this giveaway, which helped me find another new-to-me author to read!
I love all of your books, including those you’ve written under other names. I can’t wait for The Secret of Everything.
Can’t wait to get my hands on your next release! Your books are my treat to myself.
So looking forward to your new release!!! Can’t wait to read TSOE. And looooooove the cover!!!!
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.
Congrats on your upcoming release! Hope you’re having a lovely week!

I’m a long-time fan of your books, regardless of the name on the cover. I’m eagerly awaiting The Secret of Everything.
Congrats!! Yay!!!
I’m counting down the days to release date!
I can’t wait for this book! Even if I am fortunate enough to win the ARC, I will buy the ebook version as soon as it is available. But I would love the immediate gratification of reading it now.
Loved all your other books. I expect to love this one too.
Can’t wait for the release, I tried to preorder from B&N online but having problems getting them to take my military address. Boo Hoo! I’ll find it somewhere but would love to have an advance copy.

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
I am really excited to read your new book. I really like your blog. take care

Congratulations to the winners. I’ll be emailing you shortly to get your addresses.
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!
Just saw this contest, perhaps it is to late to enter for today but then the day is not over yet. Waiting for your newest to arrive. Happy Holidays!
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!

I do book reviews on my blog and would love to have an opportunity to read your work. Thanks for your time and best wishes.
