Thanks again for having me on Sweethearts. :)Kat Flanneryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02336446576342664119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-15649700750328464832013-08-09T12:36:42.190-05:002013-08-09T12:36:42.190-05:00Kat--your excerpt is excellent.

Those mine shafts were horizontal, so that men crawled in on the belly and chipped off coal and backed out with it. I enlarged the mine in my story, but only as much as I had to for my characters. Weird.<br /><br />My grandfather worked in the one in Erath county, and my sister has an old photo when he was a young man, sitting on an upturned bucket, black with coal dust, cracking and shelling pecans. Great photo.<br />Thanks for being such a good guest.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-25168358428870015392013-08-09T11:28:48.736-05:002013-08-09T11:28:48.736-05:00Don't much like darkness either but I'm in...Don't much like darkness either but I'm intrigued by this story, especially since we are off to the Colorado mountains in October. Wow, a best seller with your first book,Kat. How exciting! <br /><br />I think I have a book telling that horses and donkeys sometimes spent their whole lives down there, sob.Tanya Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08580821680629254085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-42212039441162095162013-08-09T10:14:44.870-05:002013-08-09T10:14:44.870-05:00Loved the excerpt and your description of the mine...Loved the excerpt and your description of the mine shaft made me shudder for those poor souls that had to work the mines.

In some mines the men were lowered more than 200 feet below the surface and then were not able to stand up, but had to crawl through the tunnels to the pocket they were digging in. These brave men, women and even children worked by candle light for most of the day but during break time all candles were extinguished to save the wax and they sat in complete darkness. I know I couldn't do it. <br /><br />Thank you, Lyn and Sarah for your kind comments. I hope you both enjoy LAKOTA HONOR. :)<br />Kat Flanneryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02336446576342664119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-40263734854669008772013-08-08T11:36:25.957-05:002013-08-08T11:36:25.957-05:00Gut wrenching excerpt!

What a claustraphobic place to be. <br />I like westerns and I like paranormals, so Lakota Honor sounds very intriguing to me. <br />I wish you great success, Kat.Sarah J.
