omak, they don't come all that often. only when she has a new book or a new mystery. she makes her living as a quilter, so the website and the blog SEEM to be a form of advertisement and goodwill. she also tours.
are you getting on her mailing list? do.
edit to say: you're afraid of yahoo? chicken!
actually, it's a lot like joining here. you can use your same user name and everything. there are some good groups. i belong to that one and kaye woods, for example. i never contribut anything :wink: but i read what other people have to say. they also show what they've done. that's interesting, too.
