I'm all rested up, after a quiet weekend, and ready to hit the ground running in Stone Creek, Arizona. Things I did:I made ATCs for current trades. I listened to "The McKettricks of Texas: Tate" on my iPod. (Yes, I really did. And I enjoyed it, a lot.)I made a brief...

As many of you must have guessed, there were some connection issues at the hotel this year, and I couldn't get online to blog. My schedule was so packed that I was never in the room long enough to bring in the IT people and solve the problem.I was wined and dined, and...

Happy birthday to youHappy birthday to youHappy birthday, dear BozoHappy birthday to you!

I have two lush peony blossoms in the kitchen as of this very moment. They smell heavenly. I am still having camera problems, but hang in there. I'm bound to figure it out pretty soon. :)Are you getting tired of hearing me rave about the joy of writing "A Creed in...

With Steven Creed and the whole modern-day Stone Creek bunch, that is. 🙂 I'm just having the best time writing this book. I know I keep saying that, but it's true. I can't seem to contain my delight in this whole magical process.Still listening to the Churchill...

Yikes.I started right in working on "A Creed in Stone Creek" and I got so involved I forgot all about my blog. It was just now, when I went downstairs for a fresh cup of coffee, that I remembered. So here I am.We're having a rainy day, and it's lovely, actually. Very...

I wrote a chapter of the new book, "A Creed in Stone Creek". YES! This is going so well that I'm beginning to wonder if little elves weave the story while I sleep or something. (Shades of the aliens who used to mess up our hair in Barcelona while we were slumbering,...

Two chapters in, and I'm LOVING this book. I can't wait for you to read it; I'm sure hoping you're going to love it, too.In the meantime, watch out for the next installment in the Texas McKettricks trilogy, "Garrett", coming May 25. I'll be in New York City then--one...

Just received my author copies of "Garrett", book 2 in the McKettricks of Texas series this morning. In stores May 25.

I am so enjoying this wonderful weather--and I see planting in my (near) future. :)Also writing--there are few joys like starting out on a new book--indeed, a new trilogy--with all new characters. Okay, mostly new. The first book takes place in Stone Creek, Arizona,...

I've been nursing along several peony plants since I moved into this house four years ago. There were a few blossoms last year, but one can't have too many peonies, I've found. The good news is, they're budding out--I can hardly wait!The strawberries are in, as you...

If I don't blog. :)So here I am.Not that I have much to say. I'm into the new book and the sun is shining. All the critters are fine--Banjo (horse) got out yesterday, but Larry, the Canadian Wrangler, rounded him up pretty quickly. Banjo is the kind of horse my dad...
