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...

The weather is sunny and beautiful here in Spokane, if a little too hot. (Coming from a former Arizonan like me, that's saying something!)I signed at the Borders in Coeur d'Alene, ID on Saturday. I saw my friends, Dave and Sue, and we had an interesting conversation,...

For those of you who live in the Spokane/Coeur d'Alene area, I will be doing a signing at Borders on Saturday, July 28, at 2:00 pm. Please stop by to say howdy if you can.I'll be the one in the pink boots. 🙂

I slept late this morning, so am very late getting the blog up. Sorry about that, all you early risers!Usually, the first thing I do in the morning is make coffee. Then I let the dogs out and when they're through, I write in my journal, often for an hour or two. After...

"The Rustler" is really moving along, now that I've been able to settle down and write! It's a little cloudy today, but the pool is warm as bathwater--I dipped a toe in this morning--so I'll probably swim later. Provided, of course, that there is no lightning.I worked...

I'm working on "The Rustler", the next Stone Creek novel, which features Rowdy's outlaw brother, Wyatt. There will also be a book about Gideon--a lot of you have asked about that.Keeping this short today, as I'm out in the office and the dogs are inside the house,...

Here I sit, in my Uncle Harry chair, in the living room of the lake house. Both dogs are at my feet, Sadie snoring, Bernice watching me closely. I'm convinced that dogs read energy--she knows I'm planning to go out later for fresh flowers, some groceries and a copy of...

Not that I have any chickens. Yet. :)I woke up at 3:30 this morning! Not a thing wrong, just done sleeping. I went downstairs, nuked a cup of yesterday's coffee, and journaled for a while. Now, the sun is painting the rim of the eastern hills a lovely apricot, so I...
