Your ratings show up on my feed and I notice you are reviewing several books dealing with Appalachia, especially cookbooks. Is this research for another book or just general interest? You've inspired me to look at several books that I wouldn't have seen otherwise.
Sarah Loudin Thomas I love that you're checking out Appalachian books! The books in my feed are for research AND for fun. It's so nice when my everyday curiosity merges with my research (guess that's why I love being a writer!). Plus, delicious recipes . . .

This question contains spoilers... (view spoiler)
Sarah Loudin Thomas I kind of left that up to the reader to decide. They clearly had an encounter and Henry thinks it's a possibility although his memory isn't 100% clear. Was Henry that out of it? Or is Barbara just hoping he was? You decide!

Can Miracle in a Dry Season be gotten as e-book other than on Kindle Unlimited? I would prefer not to buy the paperback or the hardcover. I read the first 5 chapters that was included with Appalachian Serenade and I would like to finish it.
Sarah Loudin Thomas Absolutely! Christianbook.com offers an e-book version. So glad you want to finish the story! Take care, Sarah

Will you continue the series "Appalachian Blessings?
Sarah Loudin Thomas "Officially" A Tapestry of Secrets is the last book in the series, but there's always a chance I'll go back and revisit the Phillips family at some point. I think Sadie has quite a bit more story to tell!

In 2017, I'll be introducing readers to a new WV family--the Markleys. My hero, Judd, is a coal miner who goes to SC after a terrible mine cave-in. I really love this story and can't wait to share it! The Sound of Rain should release next fall.

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
Sarah Loudin Thomas When I was an aspiring writer the best thing I did was get feedback on my work. I entered contests, signed up for critiques at conferences, and got input from trusted readers. You won't want to take EVERY suggestion you get, but when you hear the same thing from two or three sources, you begin to find where the weaknesses lurk in your writing.
