Claire Wolfe’s “Hardyville” coming up
We may be on deadline for the next issue, but we’re also tackling other projects. One especially important task we’ve been working on is publishing the upcoming book, Hardyville, by Claire Wolfe.
Claire has written for BHM’s print issue off and on since 2001 (Issue No. 70). She has been a regular columnist since Issue No. 106. Her Hardyville series began online at her own blog (now discontinued) years before she began writing for BHM, and the series was renewed at the Backwoods Home Magazine website on Oct. 15, 2003.
This is a timeless collection of stories about freedom in a small town. We thought we’d have it published by now, but Annie’s illness, production of our two big anthologies 15 and 16, and now deadline for the next issue have all conspired to delay things.
But our Rhoda Denning has finished proofing Claire’s manuscript for typos and such, and we should get it to the printer by the end of March.
Claire, by the way, began a new blog Jan. 20, 2010 on the BHM website.

Oh wow! Is it Christmas already? I’m very pleased this will be packaged as its own book. I introduced most of my friends and family to BHM via the Hardyville series. Most read all the Hardyville entries without stopping once they started.
Will you have a pre-order link for the book. Or even email notification once it becomes available?
Looking forward to the books availability. Cheers!

I’m not sure how we’ll do this. I’ll ask Oliver, our webmaster, to set up something online and I’ll let you know in this blog. It’ll be pretty soon.
