New things, old things

It feels good to get an old thing next to
a new thing because of how sure it is
that they’ll never turn into each other.

Nancy Hartney's second novel, The Blue Bottle Tree, is in process. A Southern gothic tale of two women, written along color lines, concludes with a twist. She will blog about the novel over the next year preparatory to publication. Her debut novel arrived on bookshelves and online February 2021. 'If You Walk Long Enough' is a tale of a soldier's return from the Vietnam War to his South Carolina tobacco farm, a place that is no longer home, the people strangers. Her previous two short story collections set in the South—'Washed in the Water: Tales from the South' and 'If the Creek Don’t Rise: Tales from the South' continue to be available in bookstores and public libraries. In addition to fiction, Nancy writes poetry, historical pieces, and magazine articles. She often serves as writing contest judge, workshop leader, and presents author readings at libraries and book clubs. A member of Oklahoma Writers Federation, Ozarks Writers League (MO), Tallahassee Writers Association (FL), Ozark Creative Writers (AR), and two local critique groups, her books are available in print, e-format, and audio.

  1. Nice quote, Nancy. I’ve been thinking about doing a blog on favorite quotes and asking all who visit my site to respond with one of their favorites, or a link, to one they like. My blog is over here, if you’d like to pop in for a visit http://russellgayer.blogspot.com/

  2. Hi Nancy! Glad to see you joining us online 🙂 I saw that you’d followed my old blog, but I don’t do anything with it anymore except watch notifications to see when my WP.com friends have made replies to my comments on their blogs. If you haven’t found me at my new blog home, it’s http://madison-woods.com and the only way to follow it is either via email or RSS feed. Unfortunately it’s not as easy to follow with it as it is with the old blog.
