Saying Good-bye to the Wickeds

The moment we’ve all been talking about for a week, and that I’ve been anticipating since May, has finally come. This is my last post as a member of the Wicked Authors. Partings are difficult and this one particularly so.

I will miss my fellow authors and readers. Some of the relationships created here are among the most meaningful in my life. I have appreciated every one of you—your contributions,

Barbara Ross answered Jackie's question: Will there be anymore Jane Darrowfield mysteries in the series? Thoroughly enjoyed them as well as Clambake series. Jackie Lemonde Lemondejackie@gmail.com Hi Jackie-- I loved writing the Jane Darrowfield books and I'm so glad you enjoyed them.

Quotes by Barbara Ross (?)

“Try as often as you can to give tribute to your friends, to stay in contact, to be at their momentous occasions. Drive across the country and go into debt to go to their weddings, fly across the country and be with them when their parents pass away. You cannot make any new old friends.”
― Barbara Ross, Fogged Inn

“Winter isn't the season of death," she corrected gently. "It's the season of life, when the sheep grow their fleece and little lambs in their wombs.”
