New Contract

It’s almost Thanksgiving, and I haven’t posted since before Halloween. Sorry about that, but I had to prioritize and dedicate every spare writing moment to a new contract—a free read for Harlequin. The opportunity was very exciting, even with the quick turnaround timeline. The story will be released on Harlequin’s website, one chapter a day, for twenty days in January-February. I had a wonderful time creating a story closely related to The Major’s Wife, which will be released in February.  

WILL THE TRUTH SET THEM FREE?  

Major Seth Parker knows his wife, and the woman standing before him isn't her. The manipulative vixen who tricked his hand in marriage could never possess such innocence—nor get his heart racing like this! 

Millie St. Clair has traveled halfway across the country to pull off one of the greatest deceptions ever. But with everything at stake it soon becomes clear that the hardest part might be walking away from the Major when it's all over….

We had a fun Halloween with all of the grandchildren. Even Bear, the granddog, went trick or treating dressed as Bat Dog.  And last weekend we had a family gathering for my brother’s surprise birthday party.

There was also the Bootlegger’s Ball last weekend! Here we are, having a wonderful time! I will have to return to the history center to actually ‘see’ the exhibit. There just wasn’t time with everything else they offered for attendees to do that evening.

My focus is now set on completing my second roaring twenties story, and getting ready for Thanksgiving of course.

Be happy. Be thankful. It’s all good.

Snowbound with the Sheriff

Here is the cover for Chayston and Violet’s story—I’ve posted a short excerpt over at the Cowboy Kisses blog along with my post about Cody, Wyoming if you’d like to read a snippet. It will be released December 1^st. 

Speaking of December—I’ve started my Christmas shopping. Mostly on line, I do love the ease of that. I’m really not a crowd person. I know the cold weather will soon be upon us, but I’m not looking forward to it, nor am I looking forward to putting my car away for the winter. But I will accept both. I must. 

I am looking forward to November 8^th! Several family members and I are attending a Bootlegger’s Ball in St. Paul. We are dressing up as flappers and gangsters! 

Yesterday I was asked to write a special short story for Harlequin—I’ll tell you more about it at a later date—so I’m taking a quick detour from my roaring twenties story to create another one set in Oklahoma Indian Territory in 1878.

The next book to hit the market after Snowbound with the Sheriff will be The Major’s Wife in February. Haven’t seen the cover art yet, but those artists at Harlequin are so amazing, I’m sure I’ll be overly delighted once again.

Have a list of things to complete today, so must make this short. 

Enjoy life, and be good to yourself. You’re loved!
