You're amazing, you truly are.  You comments and sharing from the heart touch me so deeply.  It's as though we're all sitting together around a great big kitchen table, chatting away about everything. I have a couple of errands to run today, plus a chapter to...

Nyoka and Barbara S.  Please send your snail mail addresses to: [email protected] and we'll send out your signed books. If you didn't win, no worries!  We'll be doing this again NEXT Wednesday. Here's the question: What was the best advice you ever received?

Hello, there, friends, Romans and country(wo)men.  I'm racing through Chapter 3 of the new book today, but since I happen to be on lunch break, I decided to post a few words. Jeremy planted all the spring bulbs yesterday, and they're already popping up, in riotous...

The writing is going well, and I'm thrilled! My friend Ozma's procedure was a bust--she's okay, but for one reason or another, the doctor couldn't finish.  So she's pretty much in the same discouraging place and very much in need of your prayers. Tomorrow I'll...

My good friend Ozma is having a very intricate medical procedure done today.  I'm praying for her, and I'd appreciate it if those of you who are so inclined would do the same.  God bless and Godspeed, Ozma.  (And just think; tomorrow morning, it will be over.) That...

That question came from the comment section, which I read and take to heart, by the way.  The answer is, yes, deadlines can weigh very heavily on my mind--if I let them.  Recently, I've been working hard to shift out of that hurry-hurry mode, and the thing that works...

That would be Sawyer McKettrick.  🙂  He's the hero of "An Outlaw's Christmas", which went on sale yesterday.  It's an old-time story, complete with a country schoolmarm, pretty Piper St. James, who dreams of falling in love with a good man who isn't an outlaw, some...

As they say at the rodeo.  This is very good advice if an angry bull is chasing you.  🙂 I was up VERY early this morning, putting the finishing touches on the outline for the new book, "Big Sky Summer", which is Casey and Walker's story.  I'll start the actual book...

I've just been brainstorming up a--well--storm.  🙂  Unfortunately, that hasn't left me much time for blogging or anything else.  "Big Sky Summer" will be a fantastic book to write and, I hope, to read--all kinds of ideas churning around in my brain.  I didn't sleep...

That is the question.  🙂 The answer, of course, is always, "Yes".  Or, on days like today, "Yes, eventually."  🙂 I've been celebrating the completion of "Big Sky River", albeit very quietly, since Friday--by quietly, I mean: 1) fussing over Bernice.  She's been a...

I was up at 5:30 this morning, brimming with story, and writing the ending of "Big Sky River" by 6:00!  A little while ago, I finished. I love this book--here's hoping my editor agrees.  🙂 The project was long and in some ways difficult, but these characters really...

I'll be finishing "Big Sky River" today, so I'm throwing my whole self into the project--lots of strings to tie up!  (We don't want any more incidents like Lucy-Maude and her kittens.  🙂 You'll catch a glimpse of them in the new book, coming in January of 2013). If...
