Guest Post: Welcome to Harmony

In a week WELCOME TO HARMONY will be on the stands and I’m tempted to go stand in the stores and see who picks it up.  I don’t know when I’ve been so excited about the birth of a book.  I felt like I wrote this story with my heart wide open.  These weren’t just characters they were people who walked in, sit down, and told me their stories.

I hope my readers will come on the journey and love WELCOME TO HARMONY as much as I loved writing it.

Harmony is a place we all wish we were from.  You’ll fall in love with the people.

The thread that holds them all together is a runaway who hits town one night.  She’s really not looking to stay, but just wants to visit Harmony so she’ll have a place to be from.  What she finds is a place to belong.

The settings are pulled from my memories of small town rodeos and families who argue for generations but fight to help one another when trouble comes.  The prairie fires of 2006 that burned a million acres of land near my home in the Texas Panhandle influenced the plot as did the funny ways that small town folks are so very unique.

I hope Harmony and its people touch you as deeply as they did me.  The last month of writing the book I found I had trouble making myself write the ending because I didn’t want to leave Harmony.

So, come along with me to a town you’ll feel like you are from by the time you finish reading.

Thanks for reading,

Jodi Thomas
