Belinda's next collection of Hope County-set short stories Buckle Up, Buttercup, has now been published. Look for it in bookstores and soon to arrive on Amazon and Barnes & Noble sites. An excerpt from the book has appeared in the Spring issue of the Greenbrier Valley Quarterly magazine. FROM THE BACK COVER: "With warmth and charm, Belinda Anderson creates a world that lingers long after the last page. Her characters aren't afraid to take up residence in the reader's mind and stay there; they are as real and recognizable as the flesh-and-blood people we know and love." --
Gretchen Moran Laskas,
The Midwife's Tale and The Miner's Daughter "In this novel-in-stories, her third major publication, Belinda Anderson offers an attractive panoply of characters rich with nuance and diversity. At times I felt as if Ms. Anderson had moved the ghost of Edgar Lee Masters from Illinois to West Virginia to add that special Spoon River magic to her tale -- a compliment, indeed. Full of humor, under-stated romance, and unexpected suspense -- will the Driver's Ed vehicle really get obliterated? -- this book has something for everyone. But mostly what remains after reading it is a warmth of spirit in which readers with similarly empathetic hearts will take true comfort." -- Marc Harshman,
