Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
Don't be alarmed. 🙂 I'm only referring to tomorrow's appointment for a haircut and a touch-up. (Plus, it's early and I'm only on my first cup of coffee.)It's been crazy around here--nothing new in that. I'm writing like a mad woman and loving every minute of it, and...
Good-Bye, Pernell Roberts
Mom sent me the obit last week--Pernell Roberts, of "Bonanza" has passed on. The last of the Cartwright clan, laid to rest. Whenever somebody dies--an old boyfriend or an actor I loved--Mom puts the clipping in the mail.I've been so busy with "Austin" that I've barely...
1100
It's hard to believe, but this is my eleven hundredth blog post. Amazing.The draw and the pasture are white with fog, the East Coast is in the grip of a blizzard, and the Saints won the SuperBowl. That's the news from Linda's kitchen table. :)I am SO into writing...
Cozy Day
We're enjoying (yes, enjoying) a rainy Friday morning here in Spokane. It's a light the fire, put on a kettle of soup kind of day. Even better, it's a writing day--the very best kind of day there is. I am so into "Austin", I can hardly wait to have my breakfast, get...
Yee-Haw AGAIN!
"Tate" is #5 on the New York Times bestseller list and #2 on the USA Today list!YES!!Writing this book was such a challenge; there were times, as many of you will recall, when I thought I'd never be done with it. It's so gratifying to see "my boy" Tate out there...
Catching My Breath
Three radio interviews this morning, and the first one was at 5:30. I enjoyed them all, since I'm a real ham, but I figure the folks in Blue River are starting to wonder where I am.When I last saw Paige Remington and Austin McKettrick, they were standing toe to toe in...
Ground Hog Day
Six more weeks of winter? Well, there you go. The rodent has spoken--and there's no way I'm going to attempt to spell his name. 🙂 I hesitate to tempt fate, but so far we've enjoyed a mild winter here in Spokane--in January, there were a number of sunny days, pretty...
Cowgirl
Monday Rambles
I wrote all weekend, and it bears saying that while I did not write rapidly, I did write well. Each of the Texas McKettrick stories has touched me in a deep and particular way. I become totally engaged with every book I write, of course; it's almost impossible not to,...
Friday? Really???
Is it just me, or is it always Friday?This week has been an exciting one, with the release of "Tate", the first story in the new McKettricks of Texas trilogy, and a challenging one, as well. So many terrific things are happening--my self-conferred new name,...
Mixed Bag
We're on a good-weather roll here in Spokane. The sun is summer-bright this morning--hard to believe this is January.I was feeling rocky yesterday, but I'm better today. At least, I was, until I tuned in to the news. It's usually my policy to stay silent on most...
Good Intentions
I had such good intentions yesterday. I did a radio interview, journaled, planned to work on my new book. Instead, I ran smack into a wall labeled 'flu' and ended up going back to bed for several hours. (Actually, my friend/agent, Irene Goodman, sent me there, since I...
