I still miss my dad.My stepmother, Edith, sent me one of the cardigan sweaters Dad used to wear. She could hardly have given me a more precious gift. When I need a hug, I put it on, and it's as though Dad is right there. I take that sweater along in my suitcase...

Last Tuesday, I rushed off to the doctor's office, only to find I had the wrong day! Well, today, of course, is the day. I'll be late to Stone Creek--hope Sarah and Wyatt understand--but I WILL be there.I've been getting a lot of surprises from these characters. Their...

I'll have a new segment on sometime this week.www.romancenovel.tvEnjoy!

After a wonderfully relaxing and fun weekend at the lake--Sister Sally and husband Jim came through on Saturday night, along with five friends who had accompanied them to Sturgis. (I am now the proud owner of a Sturgis shirt and beer glass.) We had a brief but...

Well, I've had a great writing week. As I've been telling you, hell's a-poppin' in good ole Stone Creek. I can't hardly wait to get there, but I'm taking the weekend off to veg around out at the lake. It's my reward for working hard all week.When I first bought the...

I'll be late getting to Stone Creek today, because I have to go to the doctor--something minor. Not to worry. Mercy, it's been hot lately. I'm starting to look forward to fall, and the cooler weather. Memories of last winter's snow draping the draw are becoming more...

I have an assignation in Stone Creek, circa 1907, later this morning. Things are heating up between Sarah and Wyatt, for sure. And some heavy duty bad-guys are coming on the scene, too. Here's Wyatt, filling in as marshal for Rowdy, who is away on business, along with...

My sister Sally, husband, Jim, and five friends arrived at the lake yesterday--on Harleys! (Well, Sally and her friend Linnea came by plane, and I picked them up at the airport). But Jim and his guy friends arrived on bikes. It must have the neighbors in my quiet...

Writing "The Rustler" is a real experience, deeply emotional. I had a tough time getting going on it, what with the normal rush of summer and Dad deciding to saddle up and ride for Heaven's brand. Now that the story is rolling, though, it's a pleasure to write. I just...

It's pretty quiet around here. Cousin Mary Ann's grandchild is visiting, along with his parents, so the whole crew is out at the lake, splashing and sunning and catching up on all the visiting. A day in the life of Linda: I get up early, most days, and immediately...

I'm a contrary old cuss about some things. (You probably didn't hear that here first.) It's a Lael trait to be contrary, after all.Years ago, when it was a cutting edge deal (pun intended), I had laser surgery on the old eyeballs. I traveled all the way to Toronto to...
