I can see why your book was so popular. <br /><br />I am lucky that I live where the 189 gold rush happened as it has opened a lot of door for me to seek information for my stories. So far I haven't run out of information yet, which is a good thing. :)Paisley Kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401039126457210324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-54164645166618267662013-04-10T22:17:31.138-05:002013-04-10T22:17:31.138-05:00As a Coloradan, I'm always fascinated with its...As a Coloradan, I'm always fascinated with its history, particularly in mountain communities.

I'm never sure where this person is, but I know my character(s). <br />I wonder how many create a story like you do? It's a sound way, and obviously it works.<br />Hope you have a great day-CeliaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.com
