I am keen on learning more about the UR due to having connections in my ancestral past, as much as being a supporter of civil rights and liberties for all. I simply hadn't realised it was such a prominent part of Michigan's history! I need to get up there one day! Its a beautiful state! I hadn't realised you were from there originally!?

Happily, I can a...Hallo, Hallo OWG Lovely Spirits,<br /><br />Happily, I can attest that I am loving the e-list updates!! :) :) I totally concur with you about how instinctive it was to see that she placed a Dutch immigrant into the story!! I thought that was quite stellar myself! Michigan is a very diversely populated state, and it has such a clever history, in regards to Upper & Lower Peninsulas! I ran into this through research I was conducting, and found that not only are the residents there of a diverse background, but their quite the hearty bunch! They even have ties to the Civil Rights era and the Underground Railroad! I was a bit surprised on the latter, as I thought it might be a bit too far north, but no! They played a key part! I love how by reading historicals, we all become more aware of the living history that surrounds our 'stomping grounds' here in the States! Makes a wish of a road trip even more sweet! :)<br /><br />Does it focus mostly on Detroit, or on other areas outside its reach!? I was a bit curious about the locales that are included, but of course, I know I'll find out once I get to read it! :) <br /><br />[Do not count me in the contest for the e-book!]<br />[I await the print version, either regular OR POD!] Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-86967264152984417052013-09-28T17:57:29.531-04:002013-09-28T17:57:29.531-04:00So nice of you to drop by, Maxie!

If we're called to write a book, it will happen on God's time. I really didn't think I had time to do it, but you see it happened anyway. <br />Have a great weekend, Vicki!Marian Baayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10990486522138340848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-66288798332158462812013-09-28T11:03:53.467-04:002013-09-28T11:03:53.467-04:00Then you are too, MOM!! :)Then you are too, MOM!! :)Marian Baayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10990486522138340848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-83571331160910749102013-09-28T10:49:40.361-04:002013-09-28T10:49:40.361-04:00OF COURSE YOU ARE!! :)OF COURSE YOU ARE!! :)Teresa Mathewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16979337973257260777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-14179273325490941472013-09-28T10:26:43.377-04:002013-09-28T10:26:43.377-04:00You gals are ALL angels. ;-) (does sweet talking...You gals are ALL angels. ;-) (does sweet talking help my chances?

Sure, it is only .99, but if I can save the .99 for another book, then I'm ahead of the game, right?
