Happy Day!

Oh, goodness, what a glorious day! Too fabulous to let it go unnoticed, I took a long walk. Listened to the birds. Noticed the deer tracks in the spring mud. Relished the sight of spring mud!

Amazing.

Refreshing.

All of it.

I do believe it will soon be pony time! Just this morning a friend from Kansas called. He’d seen a car just like mine, (with the ponies on the side) and thought we were in town and hadn’t let him know. I had to say it wasn’t us, that my car is still in storage—but not for long!

Wow…thanks to so many for celebrating the release of Wildcat Bride! I received several wonderful emails—from people who bought the book and read it immediately. Here’s a snippet from one:  “Thank you for the newest Quinter book.  We loved it!  Ma’s next….Keep your wonderful stories coming.  The only regret we have is that we come to the end and have to wait for another release.” She explained both she and her husband have enjoyed the series.  

I’m humbled. And so very grateful.

Next release: Nights with the Outlaw, my next HQN Undone will be released May 1^st. As soon as I get a copy of the cover art, I’ll post it. The pre-buy link is up on Amazon. And once more, I must express my thanks to those who have already reserved their copy.

Do me a favor…turn off the news for a day, ignore any negative thoughts, and just immerse yourself in the abundance of wonderful things surrounding you.

Life is good.

Badland Bride

The e-book of Badland Bride-The Quinter Brides Book Two will be released by The Wild Rose Press on November 6th, HOWEVER, the print book was released last week at The Wild Rose Press, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and anywhere else print books are sold. YEAH!

I attended a writer’s retreat last weekend. It was a wonderful time, and I’d highly recommend the ARC Retreat Center for anyone who wanted a little down time. I also spoke to a writer’s group this week. I always enjoy talking with those who understand the voices in my head.

We had snow this week. YES, SNOW! It’s only October! So, as many of you know, I’m preparing to put my pony away for the winter. It’s just so blessed hard to be separated from her. Even my granddaughter was upset when I showed up in a different car to pick her up. “Where’s the pony car?” she immediately asked. She’s 2 ½ (When you ask her how old she is, she says, “2 ½. Don’t forget the half.”)—anyway— I explained the pony car doesn’t like snow. After she climbed in her car seat in the backseat of Papa’s car, she said, “Boy’s cars like snow and girl’s cars don’t.” It is amazing how young we are when we start stereotyping each other, isn’t it?

I’m hoping for a quiet weekend with lots of writing time, how about you?
