Of State Fairs, Thousands of Discussions–And What The Real Folks Are Thinking About The Current Mess

book-coversApologies for the show being uploaded from AM Radio broadcasts to this web site a day late–first time in more than three years. Big sigh. Technology can be maddening when on the road. I have been privileged to be signing books at the Wyoming, Colorado, and now, the Idaho State Fairs the past two weeks. I have had the honor of meeting and talking to thousands of folks–some who follow these radio broadcasts, others who are existing fans of Land For Love And Money, or the Threads West, An American Saga Historical Fiction series, men and women who are now new readers of one or the other, and still others who have been avid readers of my books and who stopped by to meet me, see me, get the latest novels, and of course, inquire on the upcoming release date of Book 4, Moccasin Tracks.
But regardless of the reason for their visits to the signings, I have been afforded a rare insight into the collective minds of Americans of all ages, genders, and political persuasions. It has been insightful, and today I am going to share my observations of what Mr. and Mrs. America think about the current sorry state of affairs. Makes me proud to be an American, and renews my deep faith in the common sense of the Americans that matter–those who work, produce, believe in freedom and have deep faith in this country, though perhaps little in the government.

    I am going to say some positive words now. Great voice this week. a few octaves lower, very nice. great compliments go to you that you had so much positive feedback in all your areas, books, radio, and just being you. So much has happened this week, I reconnected with a few graduates and they are either so pro obama to the other side and I bet the reunion was fun? Love Blackfoot Idaho, One of my favorite stops when I head for family. Thanks again for all you do. Roberta

      My pleasure Roberta, and I am glad my thoughts trigger a few on your part. As for the lower voice (laughing)…try talking to five or six thousand folks over a ten day period 🙂 I was fortunate to have any voice!
