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...

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. 🙂

Frankly, I think I need some time to get over all that relaxation. 🙂 I made ATCs, I read, I messed up the kitchen, cleaned it, and then messed it up all over again. I listened to Neil Gaimon's "American Gods" on my iPod--pretty dark, but fascinating. The guy can...

Check this out, word lovers: www.wordle.netMy friend Wendall Thomas told me about this site, where one can literally play with words, and make art with them! But be careful--it's addictive. 🙂 You type or paste in text, and the program will scramble it, apply...

Just when we were getting used to spring-like weather, here comes the snow. It's coming down fast and furious, but is not expected to stick and it's actually quite pretty. :)I finished the book yesterday, and it was like crossing a finishline. I am still a little...

I wrote on Saturday.I wrote on Sunday.And I woke up at 1 am this morning, with my head full of story, and wrote again."The Creed Legacy" is done, done, DONE!And now I'm going back to bed.

I woke up around 1 am and I could not go back to sleep. I wasn't worried or sick--just awake, for whatever reason.So Sadie and I made a backyard run, and I read three chapters of a book, and then I did some rubberstamping on tissue paper, because the images look...

I am so, so close to finishing this book! Yee-haw!!!But I will also miss my characters, for sure.What happens next? I take a deep breath and plunge right into populating the fictional town of Parable, Montana, with hunky heroes and spirited heroines who are more than...
