That is great news! Congratulations! Please let us know if you’ll have a book signing. I’m sure your fans will not respond like the ones described in the recent WSJ article. We're so happy for you and thanks for notifying us.
Congratulations on your book deal. Just reading that little bit had me hiking right along with you and your companions, sharing the tension and then the relief. It will be a great way to do the hike vicariously through your words. Looking forward to the book.
Great job! Wish I had known you when I had 50 year old legs to go hiking with you! No wonder you wanted to hike in the Alps.
Loved all the adjectives you used to describe each experience and feeling. My former creative writing teacher in high school would have been so pleased, (unlike with my writing . . . . .)
Glad you brought with you good survival gear. That reference made it very believable. (Never thought about all the metal in my clothes. My water proof jacket has a plastic zipper, but not my jeans and glasses . . . . Yikes!) Anyway, congratulations on being a published author!
Thanks, Terry, for reading and commenting! My legs are no longer fifty-year-old strong either, but my spirit of adventure is still going strong! I know yours is too!
Beautifully written. You had me there shivering, wet and fearful. Great job drilling down to third level emotions, deft imagery brought the reader into the experience along with great sensory detail. Can't wait to read the whole experience. Congratulations Joan - happy for your forthcoming launch.
Wow...I'm shivering myself! So in-the-present, a not-to-be missed story. What a read, can't wait for the rest, and to share with my book club. Way to go!!!
I couldn't turn the page fast enough! Well, roll down the phone page fast enough. You had me there on the mountain with you. I felt the icy rain and freezing feet and could smell the ozone. Ready for the next challenge.
NO, I can’t wait till September! Joan, it had me on edge, I kept reading faster and faster. Thank you, so much for sharing with me. I’ve already told my daughter in law and her aunt about your book. And they can’t wait to get your book in September. Definitely, I will share, this with them.
Thanks, Art! I will definitely invite you to my book signing events! That was a funny and heartwarming story about that author-signing event where no one showed up. Then Steven King and several Top Ten authors came to her rescue! Wow! Can you even imagine?
Enjoyed reading Force of Nature.
Very sensual and engaging. I want to read more of it.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it. Much more coming in September!

Thanks, Dora! I'm so glad you could feel the sensory details and my emotions too!!
I’m still breathless … what a great start to a great tale. I can’t wait to buy the book.
Thanks! I'm glad you found it exciting! September is right around the corner!

Thanks! I sorry I made you so cold!! But I'm glad you're ready for more!
The drama from John Muir's quote to what was happening, LIVE, it felt, hooked me, and the last few sentences made me HAVE to read on!
Thanks so much! I love that you are excited to read more!

Thanks! Glad to hear you were sucked into the story! You're a tough criticize, so that means a lot!
