Don't Forget! March 25, 2011
If you've read How to Knit a Heart Back Home, leave a review (any kind of review) somewhere (your blog, Amazon, B&N, etc) and let me know, and I'll add you to the drawing for the handwoven scarf, made in colors you choose! I'm drawing a random winner in ONE WEEK, on April 1st (the day Lucy's Kiss--same book, different title--goes on sale in Australia and New Zealand).
Of course, I'm not that great a weaver yet, so it might be a little wonky, but I'll put a lot of love into it, I promise.
While I thank you profusely, Willie sends you chilled vibes. This is NOT a stressed out cat (he literally hangs out like this, cracks me up no end):
Love Willie's pose! He looks just like my Archie (as in Goodwin from Nero Wolfe)!

I'm in the middle of it now. I should have a review by Wednesday. P.s. I am loving every page!

I have read both books and loved them both - this in NOT the genre I normally read at all!

Hi Rachael,
I just finished the Heart book. I loved it. Please More! I posted a comment on Amazon under my email name caragon6. I wrote you after your first book and you wrote me back it was so wonderful of you. I hope I win the scarf what a prize! Take care and keep writing. Jeri

I wrote you after the first book, waited patiently for the second. I tried to read slowly and make it last--didn't work. I am hoping the third book is in the works:) I realllly have enjoyed your books and blog.

We have two kitties, Astoria and Commissioner Gordon. Astoria's nickname is "The Dangler," (yes, announced like a Batman villain) because her favorite way to bide her time is by dangling one or both front paws off of raised surface. She's rather...erhm...back-heavy, so we guess she's just cantilevered nicely for this kind of behavior. It never fails to crack up our guests, though.

I love the cat's "whatever" attitude. What a pose!

Hi Rachel, just finished How to Knit a Heart Back Home and absolutely loved it and professed that love via a review on Barnes & Noble under CJDVA. What made the book even better was remembering where you wrote some of those steamy scenes and you posted it on facebook and I managed to read those same scenes with Owen and Lucy on the train. I had a grin from ear-to-ear so I think I was mistaken for a tourist. Keep writing Rachel since I will keep buying your books for a lifetime! Can't wait until the release of your latest book!

I just thought it was cool...I work at a library, and we just last week got Overdrive, a digital library service. The second book I checked out from Overdrive was yours! It's so cool to see books by people I "know" in my library!

Why do your books have different titles in New Zealand and Australia?
Posted by: Charlotte | Wednesday, March 30, 2011 at 13:08
I just read "Home". I requested it from the library because they have the first(read it, too) and they have a terrible habit of having Book One and Five and forgetting what is in between. Interlibrary loan and I are BFFs forever!! Love both books; write faster, Please?
