February 6 is the anniversary of the very best day of my life--the day I gave birth to my (okay, 'our', but her dad and I have been divorced for years)--daughter, Wendy Diane.Wendy is: smart, funny, beautiful and amazingly talented as both a writer and a singer. ...

YES!  I'm rollin', ladies and gentlemen.  "Big Sky Mountain" is flowing like a river.Looks like I won't be going to France for that art workshop in September, though.  It was cancelled, and I figure this must be one of those times when God has a better...

And I'll take any sunshine I can get!  :)Yesterday was SUCH a good writing day--I can hardly wait to get back to the book.  I won't pretend it's been easy to get this one rolling, but the story touches me very deeply, and I hope it will touch you as...
