The result is Oonagh, the story of an Irish immigrant to Canada who married a black barber.<br /><br />I seem to have a soft spot for books based on historical footnotes, and so I am adding your book to my wishlist. <br /><br />muse2323(@)gmail.comJenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07832420356107544084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13170910.post-90706513076816209252010-01-21T19:42:02.349-05:002010-01-21T19:42:02.349-05:00I love Wench!

I listened to you on NPR with much curiosity as my family has a similar history. My great great grandmother and great great grandfather were slave and master and even after she was freed, she continued to work with and live with her master and his wife. Hearing you talk about Tawawa, the resort where masters and slave mistresses vacationed was simply intriguing and made me wonder if my own ancestors engaged in any similar recreation. I can't wait to read your book and wish you much success with it. (I've already blogged about it on my site, findingjosephine.com, where I write about researching my family history)<br />All the best to you,<br />Dionne FordDionne Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13027971087146903419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13170910.post-75513070503552073532010-01-21T13:36:54.015-05:002010-01-21T13:36:54.015-05:00This book sounds really good and I'd love to w...This book sounds really good and I'd love to win a copy!<br /><br />tbbycatt at gmail dot comHoarders Extraordinairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03583226951027915970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13170910.post-66455757453917182502010-01-21T13:32:07.019-05:002010-01-21T13:32:07.019-05:00Wonderful interview.

Apart from the fact that your book sounds absolutely wonderful, as well as fascinating for the historical aspects, I love your candour about the publishing process. Like you, I was astonished by the sheer length of time from contract to holding the book in my hands - I was 25 months in "consideration" because of changes in the publishing company, then when the manuscript was accepted, another 18 months to final release... so it's a long process, but so rewarding! MUCH success with this very intriguing novel, and all those yet to come....<br /><br />Blessings, always ~~<br />Denyse<br /><a href="mailto:denyse@ns.sympatico.ca" rel="nofollow">Email</a>Denysé Bridgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02275440875115096018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13170910.post-3357540607855838002010-01-21T10:18:46.793-05:002010-01-21T10:18:46.793-05:00I love Wench!
