  2. Big oops! I moved my website to a new host and forgot to give the PDF files new links! I will fix that ASAP.

    1. I took 2022 off so there was no contest that year; hence, no PDF of stories.

  4. Will you be writing new fan fiction extra books any time soon?

    1. You mean like ... another full book/novel? Well, not anytime soon, as I have run out of "old" manuscripts that I could convert to a Fan book. :-)

  5. Have you ever thought of make a movie/film series of the books?It would be so cool

    1. Well, sure! But I don't own the movie rights. I only own the audio rights, so that would be something a movie company would have to arrange with my publisher. But it's possible! I mean, honestly! They made movies of some of those old Mandi books.

    1. If you read the short story, "Pony Memories," in Yosemite at Last, a Milestones novel, you will find the answer to your question.

  7. Mrs. Marlow, how long does a shipment of your books take to reach if you live in the eastern states?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Not long. I go to the post office every day if I need to, and I usually ship priority, which is 2-3 days (from Texas). If you are just ordering one book, I ship first class or ground, maybe taking another day. But I ship very fast.

  9. Which Church denomination would the Carter family be in?

    1. Oh, dear. I never thought about being that detailed. Protestant, but I'm not totally sure of the churches that were in Fresno at the time. So, I do not address it. It's best to play it safe, as the churches back then (Methodist, Presbyterian, etc.) are not the same now as they were then. Way more gospel-oriented and biblical in the 1880s, for sure.

  10. When will the March fan fiction come?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Fan Fiction only comes out if . . . fans write fan fiction. So far, no one has sent me any fan fiction stories, so . . . no March Fan Fiction. Sorry!

  12. In the CC Beginnings, "Andi's Pony Trouble" Mother writes a line for each of her children until they stop growing... Wouldn't Kate's name also be there along with Justin, Chad, Mitch, and Melinda's names? How would Andi not know about her, then?

  13. It was a sticky decision, but what happened is that--since Father was so adamant about no one in the family bringing up Kate after she left--the lines for her name were carefully erased. (How sad!)
