Is that correct? So you have plenty of time!<BR/><BR/>Actually, I suspect given the drive you and Liz have (and your great friendship) it will take you considerably less time than me.<BR/><BR/>I can hardly wait to read your first book!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for writing - and what an institution The Scotsman is. A genuine thrill to be reviewed in it, and well reviewed too!<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Pam.Louise Penny Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10316557270587688970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-71511228639588611892008-03-02T16:55:00.000-08:002008-03-02T16:55:00.000-08:00Hi Louise,My name is Pam Blance and we have emaile...Hi Louise,<BR/>My name is Pam Blance and we have emailed before. I first met you at the Elora Writers Festival last Spring.I am the other half of Jamie Tremain. Liz Lindsay, my writing partner wrote to you yesterday and when I read the column in "The Scotsman" newspaper I was just thrilled. I am from Edinburgh and my father was a copy reader with the Scotsman for many years. Both my brothers were printers with the Scotsman also.<BR/>There are some great writers out of Scotland but I am glad they (the Scots I mean)have the sense to notice your "The Cruellest Month" which I enjoyed immensely. <BR/>When I was reading your Web page and your advice to new authors you mentioned that it took you 19 years to be published. Well, I am hoping for a speedier delivery than that as I would be 81 by then, so upwards and onwards. Keep well and drop in from time to time on our blog.<BR/>Regards,<BR/>Pam BlancePamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02923588670917082395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-72690894733475191672008-03-02T09:58:00.000-08:002008-03-02T09:58:00.000-08:00Dear Anon,thank you - and you say so many kind thi...Dear Anon,<BR/><BR/>thank you - and you say so many kind things.

Congratulations on the partnership and the books underway. It takes discipline and courage, I know. And I'm thrilled to hear family and friends realize you're not really delusional. I remember that look when people asked what I was doing and I said, 'writing a book' - might as well have said I'm training to be an astronaut. Equally unlikely. <BR/><BR/>Well done and I'll visit your blog.<BR/><BR/>Keep touting, and writing, and feeling VERY good about yourselves. I hope to be invited to the launch.<BR/><BR/>All best,<BR/><BR/>LouiseLouise Penny Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10316557270587688970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-40126401568528913972008-03-01T09:33:00.000-08:002008-03-01T09:33:00.000-08:00Dear LouiseI have just come across your blog and e...Dear Louise<BR/><BR/>I have just come across your blog and enjoy your style very much. The reason? Its very similar to the style my writing partner and I have just this month created on our own blog. You can tell we must be Canadian, due to our fascination with the weather!!<BR/><BR/>Your stories are absolutely fantastic - I want to move to Three Pines! The characters are so rich, their quirks and shortcomings forgiveable. Such an enjoyable time I've spent within the covers of your books!<BR/><BR/>I've enjoyed following your progress and growing acclaim and wish you all the best for future writings - which I eagerly anticipate.<BR/><BR/>Oh yes, did I say writing partner? A good friend, Pamela Blance, and I have embarked on our first writing foray and are co-authoring not one, but two, novels. We started this adventure last June and are thoroughly enjoying the journey. And after several months, family and friends are now taking us seriously - we intend to be published authors! Our pen name is Jamie Tremain, and if you are inclined, do check out our blog at<BR/>http://jamietremain.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/>I fear I have become somewhat shameless in promoting Jamie Tremain, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.<BR/><BR/>Continued success to you and I will keep your blog and website as "favourites" to be visited on a regular basis.<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/>Elizabeth LindsayLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05779693918477030254noreply@blogger.com
