    Belles of Wyoming Summer Collection

    September 11, 2019

    Hi! I’m so glad you are joining me today! As I mentioned before, two of my books, In the Nick of Time and Daring to Love Again, will be part of the Belles of Wyoming summer collection. This collection of stories from several different authors takes place in summer, and most of them end with a barn raising for Rosalie and Marin Davis, two newlyweds in the town of Belle. However, each book is a standalone. Readers will get glimpses of other people in town, but the books themselves can be read in any order. We have 20 novellas releasing throughout the month of September 2019, Monday – Friday of…

    Roadtripping through Western USA

    July 15, 2019

(I’m working on becoming a more adventurous writer! Maybe someday I’ll get there.)   A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of taking a wonderful road trip…

    Tombstone Picture Gallery

    March 27, 2019

    Recently my husband and I took a day trip to a small town in southern Arizona called Tombstone. You’ve probably heard of it, being the history buff that you are. However, even though I’m a native Arizonan, I’ll admit that I wasn’t always into history, and when my high school team traveled to the tiny town of Tombstone a million years ago, I didn’t realize its significance or the contributions the events of those days made to the cowboy stories that are so prevalent today. I’m happy to say that I now know better, and our recent trip gave me an even greater understanding of that time period in this…
