This is so well written, Ann. Entertaining and you gave us a glimpse into all the strong personalities in the group.
It sounds like it was a hoot with all the plays and worth every tracking down of a changed phone number that needed to be done.
I did check out your site and it very well done.
Congratulations to you all and there is still enough time to get working on an Easter Anthology, yes?
Wishing you all the best with a most successful project.

Hi Ann. My sincerest congratulations on your achievement. It had to be a challenge to bring all of these writing "rock stars" together on this collaborative effort. Kudos to all, and I wish you much success. - Jamison

Congratulations on the new book. You do a great job in this article of making it sound like a lot of fun to do and make it sound doable (Even for the rank amateurs). I look forward to reading it and having my family enjoy it.

When Terry mentioned the book to me early on, I have to admit I was skeptical about a Christmas book. I mean, it wasn't even Christmas season. I had no doubt, Terry, the born promoter, could pull off whatever he tried to do, but it wasn't for me. I'm glad you talented writers and your delightful stories all came together and created a new Christmas tradition families can enjoy by the fireplace with a hot cocoa for years to come. Well, Terry, will need a little Gentleman Jack too. Congratulations on your project and its success! Ric

What a radical and fun idea. I think this is very inventive and could work on other genres; Chrismas, Haiku, Thriller...on and on. I guess it would take someone to spearhead this effort.

Congratulations on publication of this anthology of Christmas stories. I'm happy for each one of you. It's fun to hear a bit of the joint publication process. It's especially nice to see you writing again on FanStory. Blessings. Carol

Congratulations on the publishing of your combined works. It sounds like a lot of work but I am guessing it might have been a lot of fun as well. Good luck on selling a book for every Christmas stocking in America.

I really enjoyed your essay. I like the idea of a concept coming together start to finish and paying off. Also I'm pretty new to this site so it gives me a lot of hope to see the kind of community and friends that can be made.

You are in the right place to not only making writing friends, but also to learn a great deal from them. I've been on Fanstory for a long time, with some intervals of absence = always due an unavoidable situation. Thanks so much for reading and commenting ann

Congratulations on publishing a collaborative book. As you say, it is hard to get along with different writers all with different points of view. I like the easy-to-read print size, it is easy on the eyesight for those of us with poor eyesight. Thanks for sharing the laughs the tears the difficult times you shared as you put together this wonderful Christmas story book.

Thanks so much, Jesse! I have the same problem some of the smaller fonts myself. I appreciate your time and effort in reading my story. ann

Good luck with the sales of your Christmas book.
Reading small print is difficult for me.
We have that in common.
I'm glad it didn't stop you from writing your story for the book.
Enjoy the rest of the day.
