The fans, of which I am one, prevailed and TODAY (September 2nd) the town of Mitford and all Jan's wonderful characters are BACK...on the shelves of your favorite bookstore!
This is not only NATIONAL news, but INTERNATIONAL!
Here's how it was reported in England's DAILY NEWS:
NEW YORK (AP) — Jan Karon is going back to Mitford.
Nearly a decade after the novelist announced she was done with her multimillion-selling Mitford Years series, she has signed up with G.P. Putnam's Sons for two more installments about the fictional North Carolina town and such residents as Father Tim Kavanaugh and his wife, Cynthia. The next release, "Somewhere Safe With Somebody Good," is scheduled for September second.
Karon said in a statement issued Tuesday by Putnam that her decision to resume the Mitford series proves that one should "never say never." She has written nine previous Mitford books, most recently "Light From Heaven," published in 2005.
