Sunshine and Snow
I swear, when I got up this morning, the sun was shining. Now, just a few hours later, it's snowing--hard. Oh, boy, will I be happy to see those first daffodils and crocuses breaking ground. :)I wrote yesterday, played around with some ATC background techniques from...
It’s a Beautiful Morning
Think I'll go outside for a while...:) We have sunshine, at least at the moment. And I'm loving it.I spent a restful weekend, watching "Brothers & Sisters" on the iPad, via Netflix, reading a little, listening to Jodi Picoult's new book, "Sing You Home", and doing...
Celebrating
Yesterday, my family surprised me with cupcakes, a huge greeting card, a tiara and a blue ribbon to tape to my shirt, all in celebration of my #1 placement on the New York Times bestseller list. Irene Goodman and her husband, Alex, sent a single rose, dipped in 24...
Over the Moon!
The news came yesterday: "A Creed in Stone Creek" is #1 on the New York Times bestseller list! Since finding out, all I've been able to say is either, "Wow!" or "Yeehaw!" Since that doesn't make a blog, I'll make this short.Thank you, my dear readers, for making this...
Shepherd’s Pie & Other Random Stuff
Yesterday I made slow-cooker Shepherd's Pie, from my big cookbook, and it was de-lic-ious! I make notes in the margins when I try a new recipe, with the date and what I thought of the dish. Maybe someday one of my descendents will have the book and find my...
It’s the Lion!
March has decided to come in like a lion--let's hope it goes out like a lamb. Snow is coming down like crazy, and it's definitely beautiful. Should keep me in the mood for writing the new book, which is a Christmas story. :)It's a cozy, stay at home and write day....

Life in the Great Northwest
Today we have several inches of glittering snow, sunshine and a sky so blue it makes your heart catch to look at it. We get a little break from the snow, I guess, but the weather man is throwing the term 'arctic blast' around a lot, so we're not out of the proverbial...
Buck and Traveler
Snowed In
I imagine the Canadian wrangler will have to spend much of today plowing us out from under the deluge, but there is plenty to be thankful for--lights are still on, (knock on wood), so there's warmth and comfort aplenty. The snow on the back deck is over Bernice's...
It Can’t Be Wednesday Already!
Can it? Yeesh. Time sure flies when you're having fun, and I am definitely having fun with the new story, "A Lawman's Christmas", starring Clay McKettrick and Dara Rose Nolan, a spirited widow with two children to provide for and some very big problems to face.My...

Yikes. I just found out "A Creed in Stone Creek" is out TODAY. (Not much gets by me.)I'm so excited, and I hope you will be, too. 🙂
