Author Jodi Thomas Guest Post

 

 

Help me welcome Jodi Thomas to Just Short of Crazy. Jodi is a wonderful author and I’m very excited to have her guest posting today as she shares her newest book, The Comforts of Home.

THE COMFORTS OF HOME will be hitting the stands on Nov. 1, 2011 and I’m very excited to see my people of Harmony, Texas come alive.  In my mind they already are and sometimes I feel like they’re so real that I could pack my bag and go down for a visit any time I liked.

Once in a while a characters plays at the corner of a writer’s mind for a long time before their story begins to grow.  Ronelle Logan was like that with me.  She was in WELCOME TO HARMONY as a girl who worked in the post office and eats alone every day in the diner.  I knew she’d have her own story one day even from the beginning.  As she wakes up to the world around her she sees what her life is really like and wants more.

I hope you’ll join me for this journey inside a small town where people care deeply about one another.  You’ll see people you’ve grown to know in WELCOME TO HARMONY and SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY.  When I’m writing I always think of the reader at the other end of the line.  I always wish I could whisper, ‘come along with me on an adventure.  I’ll make you laugh and cry and fall in love with the people of Harmony, just as I have.

LOL Text Talk Fail
