Love reading your blog!! To share with my friends that I went to school with you is like bragging to my friends about my kids. Maybe not as much, but it makes me smile! Enjoy your R&R and can't wait to read more to come about Angel. I've already purchased a copy of "Dear Jacob" so I'll pass along my current copy for others to enjoy. Thanks and keep up the good work! Go Hawks!!
I look forward to your writing adventures! It's fun to see the picture of you on the beach in Florida--where your original blog adventures began! Wishing you all the best always!
Glad you’re enjoying Florida right now instead of the winter storm the Midwest is experiencing. See you in LBK soon. I’m bringing my copy of the book for you to sign! Take care.
I found ‘What the heck is Substack’ very helpful, especially the part about how to suggest to blog readers why they might like to subscribe. I was wondering how to go about that! Thanks.
I remember the the Don CeSar from back in 1993 when I was a member of the president's support team when Bill Clinton stayed there. That's a lot of pink!
Joy thank you for your good work on the wetterling case I was wondering if you ever listened to the apm award winning podcast in the dark Bill paid subscriber
I grew up in Willmar and attended the Kaffe Fest every year - thinking it was often a celebration of my birthday since it frequently was an overlap of the day. I was a little sad when I was about 10 or 11 and realized no one was celebrating my birthday, only the local community festival. We also grew up with Hispanics coming up from Texas every summer. We knew them as the "migrants". A friend of mine and I befriended a girl from Texas one summer. Her name was Dancha and I've never forgotten her. She was the most beautiful, kind young girl I'd ever met. I can only imagine how difficult it was then and probably still is for young people to make that move and integrate into the community and school. Thank you for your wonderful writing and incredible story telling. I look forward to the next chapter of Angel's story.

Yes, I sure did. I thought Madeleine Baran did an amazing job. Her second season of In The Dark is equally riveting and well done!
Congratulations on your new format, Joy! I look forward to reading your posts.
