Currently working on companion book that delves into Montana 19th century social and political issues; it provides photos of historical documents, letters & papers that I discovered during research for Deliverance Mary Fields and the new book, Mary Fields' Road to Freedom.

Interesting that you ask - one that was life threatening and involved jealousy, betrayal and greed. I'm including that mystery in a book I'm working on now!

For me, the best thing about being a writer is delving into the creative, examining points of view, exploring my imagination, watching substance emerge, though at times it doesn't seem like it will... I often become aware, via the subject matter I'm writing about, of my personal perspectives and challenge myself to expand my points of view, and as a result of the process, notice that I have changed from the experience of writing the story.
This is meaningful to me, and a good reason to be selective in choosing what I want to write about. It's like choosing a journey - you choose where you're going but have no idea what surprise meetings and situations you'll find yourself in.
On the practical side, it's great to be able to work wherever you are, and choose your own hours and govern the process with perseverance, compassion and patience if you can - I should say, if I can. A good challenge.
Thank you for asking. Sometimes I forget how wonderful it can be!
