I love your books and order them before they are even released!! As a matter of fact, my Sister and Mother are just as obsessed with your work. None of us can wait for the other to finish your book so all three of us buy the book separately so we can start reading as soon as it is released.
I used to live in Charleston (Anson Street) and left my heart in the Low Country in 1999. I am a Yankee and only lived in Charleston for 5 years but some of my dearest Friends are Charlestonians (and would always introduce me as, "my Yankee Friend, Helene"-I am sure you can understand). I even have a few Friends that went to school with you (and rememeber you fondly)!
Thank you for your wonderful books! They bring such joy to me. You are able to capture and describe the Low Country in such fabulous detail. I only wish you could write faster and put out more books!!! Nevertheless, I have learned patience in my old age (of 44) and your books are definitely worth the wait! Again, a million thanks!
Warmest regards, Helene

I bought this book on a Friday and finished it the following Monday! I really liked the book and am looking forward to this book club. I missed last year's book club although I read the book. I was in the one the year before.

I have been a reader since Sullivan's Island and have loved each of your books.
Here's a great tip from the world of margarita's: Baja Bobs makes a sugar-free, calorie free, great tasting version of margaritas both original and strawberry, though no mango version yet. I am a dietitian and my clients are hooked on these as a special treat. They are great without alcohol, though you can add a shot for 100 calories. You can google Baja Bobs online and find them.
I am waiting for my newest book to arrive. 'Looking forward to having this opportunity to chat with you. Fire up the mangos, I'm ready to go.
All my best,
Orchid Chick

Welcome and thanks for your kind words! Is Baja Bob a pre mix in the stores? Not that I would indulge . . . ahem, ahem . . .

check out the website, and click on the retail locations button....then type in your zip code. I live in the boonies...almost, and there is a store just 3 miles down the road from me, which sells the stuff! Most of the other locations were fairly close, too. It looks like these stores are mostly health food, or health oriented places. Must be pretty popular, and healthy! Good luck, and happy drinking!
