As 2016 has come to an end, I feel a huge need to say in a BIG way, "THANK YOU!", to everyone who has supported me and the release of Hitchin' Post. What an incredible year it has been. I have received such amazing support from my hometown of Quanah, Texas, as well as my original hometown, Vernon, Texas, and the support continues to come. My goal was to write something with a purpose and with a lesson that children could learn from, and I hope that Hitchin' Post did that. Hearing from parents, grandparents, and especially the children, that they loved Hitchin' Post, has been a dream come true. One of my favorite "reviews" that I have received was from a very special little girl whose mom sent me this picture:
I'm not sure if you can see it clearly, but she listed the "6Bs" as one of her favorite summer reads! I could not ask for a better review than that!
This has been such a fun journey to go on with my mother, who I could not have completed this book without. Obviously she is an incredible artist who I was blessed to have work with me on this book. Since the release of Hitchin' Post, she has been commissioned to illustrate two other books as well by author, Charles Burk. The first of which has been completed, entitled The Little Dark Christmas Light.
What a de"light"ful book this is! And again-the pictures are beautiful! The other book is in the works, and should be out later this year. I will definitely keep you posted!
So what does 2017 hold in store for me? I hope to continue to pursue writing, with a new Hitchin' Post book already in the works. It is my goal to have it released before July.
I again want to thank each and everyone who has expressed an interest in the book and who has purchased a book. I hope that you all have found some enjoyment in reading the story to your children, and of course I hope most of all that the children have enjoyed hearing and reading it as well.
I want to thank the following stores and museums for allowing Hitchin' Post to be displayed for purchase:
Rustics and Rhinestones - Quanah, TX
The Q, A &P Railway Depot Museum - Quanah, TX
Pepperberries - Vernon, TX
Red River Valley Museum - Vernon, TX
To the schools who have asked me to read to their students-what a fun time! Thank you all for having me! I look forward to many more chances to read to the little ones!
May God bless you all in 2017!
Thank you again,
Julie
