Many folks in the Backwoods Home family were saddened to discover that Claire Wolfe’s September 17 installment of her online Hardyville series would be her last.

Claire began writing regular columns for BHM back in 2001, starting with her “Living the Outlaw Life” series, which continued for a little over two years. In October, 2003, she revived her Hardyville series as a twice-monthly website column. It became a weekly series in January, 2007, when she began crafting continuing, multi-episode stories about the fabled town and its independent, freedom-loving citizens.

While Claire will no longer be writing about Hardyville on the website, she will continue her regular movie-review column for the Backwoods Home Magazine print issue, as well as her new print issue column titled, City girl/Country life.

Most of Claire’s columns and articles will remain online indefinitely and may be found in her archive.

This is another case of a very talented writer coming to the conclusion that online applause without sufficient monetary compensation can only sustain you for so long. The Backwoods Home Magazine print issue will at least pay her a reasonable sum for her talent and hard work.
