I’m so excited, friends.

Reviews from early readers are coming in and they are everything I PRAYED (literally) that they would be. I wanted this book to make people feel…

Happy

Comfortable

Familiar

Joyful

Nostalgic

Tickled

I wanted people to feel like they knew these women. Loved these women. Had lived with these women. I wanted people to close the book and love their women a little bit deeper and fuller.

And is it so bad in this day and age if I also wanted people to just LAUGH?

I didn’t think so.

I’d be THRILLED if you preordered your Chicken Fried Women book right this minute. And that you ordered extras for your momma and granny and all three aunts that you love. Order one for your bestie and the restie. I mean, cute gift idea or what????

So, for the love of Pete, THROW IN THE SKILLET TOO!

I love you,

Mel
