It's great to hear from another Americana buff! The orphan train phenomenon is not only fascinating, it's loaded with story possibilities. <BR/><BR/>I hope you enjoy Courting Miss Adelaide! <BR/><BR/>JanetJanet Deanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08498270462296096254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20184594.post-2187475842034797852008-10-02T15:30:00.000-07:002008-10-02T15:30:00.000-07:00Enjoyed the interview, Janet and RWQ.<BR/>Janet, I also enjoy history of the same<BR/>time period and I did much research<BR/>on the Orphan Trains for one of my<BR/>stories.

Not as late as in my story, but then that's the fun of fiction. :-)<BR/><BR/>I'm delighted you enjoyed Courting Miss Adelaide! Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Running with Quills is clever.

I love this story. Such a good premise and conflict. <BR/><BR/>Don't enter me in the giveaway, but whomever wins gets a real treat of a story. <BR/><BR/>I loved reading this interview and seeing how Janet came up with the idea (and I love the title of this blog--running with quills--cute.)Crystal Laine Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09284296811544392777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20184594.post-63567958066090904872008-10-01T16:44:00.000-07:002008-10-01T16:44:00.000-07:00Janet, SO many congratulations on your debut, and hearty support for the new proposal!!
