Sorry, I just found this note! I don’t think Abbey Press has any more. But I do have something akin to that print, if you’re interested – similar thoughts.
Congratulations on your new book! As you know, if it wasn’t for the Godcidence of you calling me, I wouldn’t have had the nudging and encouragement to write my memoir, Meet Me In The Mountains. Thank you for your time, talent and appreciation to help others and also write your own stories. Blessings,
Candy
Congratulations on your new book, Gail! I’m in Arkansas now, but the beauty of email is that I still got this announcement. Thanks for keeping me in the loop. Blessings,
Suzanne
How thrilling to be able to put out yet more of the goodness within you. Congratulations. And thanks for prompting me to write in your classes five years ago. Another memoir is in the offing. Love, Carol
Hi Gail! I am so excited to hear from Sharon Srock that I won your book, Catching up with daylight. I am not sure who to give my address to to receive it. Just feel free to email me with the answer, hope to hear from you soon and thank you soo much for being so generous!
I JUST found your note here – I oughta visit my site more often, eh? Anyway, glad we got connected and you received the download. Hope you’re enjoying it!
Congrats on your book. Can’t wait to read it. What an inspiration you have been (are) to me. Your encouragment to keep plugging away is great. It’s my therapy for the week even when the assignments aren’t finished. Hugs.:))Mary
Gail, I just received my copy of a friend’s art/poetry book (to which I contributed); and I saw your name and wonderful piece, “The Older I Get.” I couldn’t believe it. You and I lost touch several years ago, and I’m delighted to see your name appear in my life again. I just ordered “Catching Up With Daylight” and can’t wait to read it. Blessings on your life and work!!
Oh my—it’s SO good to hear from you. Bev told me about her connection with you, and I’m excited to be back in touch. So sorry I haven’t checked this until now, but please friend me on FB or message me on LinkedIn or SOMETHING so I can get your e-mail address.
Hi Gail,
Being “the always last to” kind of gal I am, I just bought a copy of your book, Catching Up With Daylight. I am excited to read it. Hope all is well with you and the New Year brings many wonderful blessings your way.
You made my day! I hope you enjoy CUWD and tell a kazillion people about it – smile. I’m available to speak w/groups about writing/creativity/spiritual growth, etc. AND I just received my first fiction contract –whoa…that excites me no end.
Have been sick in bed for 3 days, with the Juniper “fever..” I have NEVER had allergies–this is not much fun! I missed out on your Memoir class this year but I am praying you will offer it again –as I really want to take the whole class! This year of moving full time to the mountains has taken so much effort and the amount of change has been breath-taking at times.i am a little run down, but I hope when I perk up form this allergy thing we can have a nice visit over a good cup of tea!! Here is a link to another Memoir teacher who thinks like you do.. http://www.27powers.org/laurie-wagner/
Hi Gail,
We actually met a couple of years ago at Fall Festival, where you happened
by my stand . I am an aspiring writer, who has finished a memoir. Do You
have any ideas about obtaining funds for publishing?
I came across this while at work as we had a patient by the same last name. I am in total shock and so happy to have the opportunity to order some of your books. I am going to do the shopping this afternoon after I get home. I went to high school in dear old Dumont and still live in Az by the way. If you winter here give am a shout and maybe we can get together.
The list seems to lean toward Western and regional settings—’Providence – a novel of the West’ and ‘Secondhand Sunsets: A Novel of the Mogollon Rim’—while the comments shift toward memoir classes and publishing advice. I’d be curious whether these fiction projects grew out of the same storytelling interests Gail discusses with readers, or whether they’re a separate direction.
Seeing “Stand-Alone Books” listed here makes me think about how some stories just need to exist on their own without a series holding them back. It’s a different creative goal than working on a daily project, like turning whatever is trending each day into a musical take on the stories everyone is sharing. I wonder if that kind of steady output feels more or less demanding than a one-off story.
The list’s stand-alone novels seem drawn to Western and regional settings, especially with titles like “Providence – a novel of the West” and “Secondhand Sunsets: A Novel of the Mogollon Rim.” I’d be curious whether these stories share any thematic threads, or whether the stand-alone format is meant to keep each world distinct. It’s an interesting choice amid so many series-driven shelves.
The excerpt’s stand-alone fiction list leans toward Western and regional settings, with Providence and Secondhand Sunsets standing out. That makes me wonder whether these one-off novels are meant to keep each setting distinct rather than build a shared world, and whether that changes how readers connect with them compared with series fiction.
The page’s “Stand-Alone Books” list groups titles such as “All for the Cause” and “Secondhand Sunsets: A Novel of the Mogollon Rim,” which suggests a deliberate emphasis on self-contained regional or Western stories.

The stand-alone list mixes Western and regional titles with what sound like historical and holiday stories, such as “All for the Cause” and “A Hill Country Christmas.” I’d be interested in whether the unifying idea is simply self-contained storytelling, or whether these books share thematic links despite their different settings.
The stand-alone list sets regional/Western titles like Providence and Secondhand Sunsets alongside holiday and historical-sounding books. That mix makes me wonder whether the unifying idea is simply self-contained storytelling, or whether these novels still share thematic threads across very different settings. Is the stand-alone format meant to keep each world distinct?
The excerpt groups several titles under “Stand-Alone Books,” placing Western and regional novels beside Christmas and historical-sounding stories. I’d be curious whether the label is mainly a structural choice—each book self-contained—or whether these varied settings share a thematic thread. The mix suggests the appeal may lie in distinct worlds rather than a shared series.

The excerpt’s ‘Stand-Alone Books’ heading is doing more than listing titles: it sets an expectation that each novel can be entered without prior reading. I’d ask whether that framing is meant to emphasize independent settings, or whether the Western and holiday titles still echo one another thematically. The visible excerpt is too brief to settle it.
Gail,
I have your art work – “The OIder I Get” and would like to purchase additional pieces. Are they still available?
Thanksbunches,
Tam
Hi Tam,
Sorry, I just found this note! I don’t think Abbey Press has any more. But I do have something akin to that print, if you’re interested – similar thoughts.
please e me at gkittleson@myomnitel.com
I too love your writing “The Older I Get” Had purchased several copies, framed them and given as birthday gifts.
Congratulations on your new book! As you know, if it wasn’t for the Godcidence of you calling me, I wouldn’t have had the nudging and encouragement to write my memoir, Meet Me In The Mountains. Thank you for your time, talent and appreciation to help others and also write your own stories. Blessings,

Well, it was YOU w/the courage to plunge in, Candy!! My life and lots of others’ lives are richer for your bravery–your story needed to be told.
Happy retreats!!
