Hi everyone,
As of November 14th, Romance Writers of America has re-sanctioned Five Star as an accepted non-subsidy, non-vanity publisher! For a while we were off the list, and so its nice to be back on. I can't pretend to know the ins and outs or the exact nature of the ongoing debate; I'm just glad we're approved now.
I'm going to enter A...My Name's Amelia in the RITA, RWA's prestigious annual award. It's just fun to be able to enter, which I'd best hurry and do since the deadline is Nov 3oth! Since Amelia has enjoyed several print runs and is soon going into large print, I thought it worthy of entry. Nothing ventured, right? Amelia got 4&1/2 stars from Romantic Times Magazine so I might have a shot. cough cough As I said, I'm just happy to be able to enter.
This also makes my membership in Colorado Romance Writers, one of the local Colorado chapters of RWA, all the more sweet.
Thanks for listening ...

Wednesdays with Joanne - "Ah, the Colorado Country Life!"
Hi all,
Thanks to the amazing editor/publisher of Colorado Country Life (REA Association, vol 38, #11) Mona Neeley, A...My Name's Amelia got a favorible review in the widely-read magazine. In our mountain co-op there are approximately 15,000 in the readership, and CCL reaches 22 other co-ops. Talk about the Gift Outright ... I'm so very grateful.
Toward the close of her review, Ms. Neeley writes that, "author Joanne Sundell of Tabernash has woven rich, little-known history from our state's past into a touching story about learning to communicate and to trust another person." Told ya, the Gift Outright. While Amelia has received other good reviews (thank goodness) I'm touched that Ms. Neeley found my book while combing the shelves of her local Barnes & Noble, and further touched that she gave me such a heart-felt review.
She's just one more reason I can say, "Ah, the Colorado Country Life."
BTW, thanks, Marie, for your comments. I'm glad you're out there!
Until next time ...
