Fireplace Etiquette and a Give Away!
I know I’ve talked about the duties of servants, maids, odd beauty secrets and old West etiquette in Petticoats and Pistols before, but let’s face it, it never gets old.

I even keep a crossword puzzle by my place at the table, so I always have some word fun to work on. So for our Game Day today, I thought we could ... Read more

History of Bicycles with Charlene Raddon
Everyone grew up riding bicycles, right? Wrong. At least not successfully. I was a terrible rider, so nervous I kept falling into parked cars. At least, that was better than falling into the street and being run over by a car. In my latest book, Gage (Ridge), Cupids & Cowboys Book 7, my heroine rides ... Read more

Audio books?
Does anyone ‘read’ audio books? I’ve been walking on my new treadmill daily and because I’m half mad during it with boredom I’ve been listening to one of my books (the only one I could lay my hands on) as an audio book.

Excuse Me, What’s Your Name?
This question wasn’t asked much on the American frontier and if you were so bold, you were liable to get shot. The old West offered a man a place to disappear into and leave behind whatever trouble he found himself in. It was super easy and there was no way to check on anything. No ...
