Piper, I looked all over your site for the History Lover’s Grand Tour and Scavenger Hunt and could not find it. I hope I’m not blind as a bat and just couldn’t see it!
But I did enjoy reading a couple of your blogs.
Wishing you best of luck on book sales.
Hi Mairi,
I put it in the highlighted words of my last sentence, but I have to go and put the others on. Still learning can’t you tell? Thanks for stopping by and reading some of my blogs. Best of luck on the rest of the tour!
Ms. Hughley, where can I purchase your books about the Bledsoe Sisters? They sound like just my cup of tea.
Victoria,
You have made my day! However, I’m about to disappoint you, because the Bledsoe Sisters books are not available–yet. Believe me, I am continuously looking out for people who may want to take the chance and publish them. However, if I can’t find the right home for them by a certain time, I will take on the publication of them myself. Please know that whenever that time comes, and by whatever means the books get out there, I will let you know. Make sure that you are following me on twitter (@writerpiper) and that you have liked my Facebook page (Piper Huguley). Thank you for your lovely comment and for stopping by!
I’m going to leave you a message via Twitter, Piper.
Is there a place I can subscribe to your blog site?
Hi April,
Doesn’t that black follow square pop up on the right when you go on to the main home page? It does for me. Let me know if you can’t see it. Thank you so much for your question!
Thanks! I will check again!!
Now following you! ( :

Piper,
I just finished By Her Own Design last night, and I’ve spent today contacting people to recommend it for their personal reading as well as a Book Club selection. I was captivated from the beginning. What a truly long overdue story of an remarkable woman. Congratulations!
