And you know what that means, don’t you? Well, if you’re one of our wonderful, amazing readers of this blog and/or one of our awesome, inspiring followers on Facebook, you do …it means we’re having a giveaway! Yay!
But wait, what are we celebrating? Wise Woman, the final book in our Appalachian Journey series, was released a little over 2 months ago in ebook and it’s been on 3 bestseller lists since then. Not only that, the other three books, Whistling Woman (or as we call it “the book that started it all”), Moonfixer, and Beloved Woman are right up there on the same lists. Yahoo! And we can’t leave out the French and German translations of Whistling Woman, they’re on bestseller lists, too!
Plus, the print version has just been released and is up on Amazon … if you search for it. For some reason it’s not showing up on the Kindle page but if you’re interested, here’s the link for the paperback of Wise Woman. The audio version (narrated by the lovely Carol Herman who absolutely nails Aunt Bessie’s voice) is available now and is linked on the Kindle page.
And, of course, we have our faithful readers to thank for our good fortune so we have 20 copies of the audio version of Wise Woman to give away. That’s right, 20! So, if you’d like to hear Aunt Bessie’s story, all you have to do is comment to this post on the blog or on the corresponding post on our Facebook page. First come, first served so don’t delay!
A side note to all our readers who are interested in our next project, the Brown Mountain Lights Series: we spent the weekend in Morganton, NC researching, researching, researching! We should have a post up about our trip and the new series later this week!

I have so enjoyed this series. Times have chwnged so much. But heartache is still the same as is wisdom. What great reads these have been but I certainly would love to hear it on audio as well.

I have loved all the books and started missing Bessthe second I finished Wise Woman. Since I live in NC, all of these books have been such fun to read. My Grandma Madge lived until 90 and even though she had no Native American blood, she believed in using plants to heal.

I absolutely loved this series. Bessie was such a special person with talents most of us can only dream of. Thank you for sharing your family with us! (PS…This is a second posting because my first seems to have gotten lost.)

I have never been a devoted book reader, but when I read Whistling Woman I was hooked on your series. I have enjoyed each of them and even went to Hot Springs, NC for a very enjoyable weekend. Loved the Hot Springs and reading about the history there. Would really love to have the audio version of Wise Woman if you have any of the 20 left.
Thanks and I will look forward to your new series!
