Horsing Around …
Hi! Kit Morgan here and today I want to talk about research and unexpected inspiration! Last weekend, my sister invited me to a party she had to go to. It’s not that she didn’t want to go alone, she just wanted to tear me away from my keyboard for a while. It was a party […]

THE LANGUAGE OF YELLOWSTONE by KAREN BARNETT
If I were to drop the words “dudes” and “sagebrush” into a conversation, you might picture cow-punchers out riding the range. Those words probably wouldn’t make you think about hotel maids at Yellowstone National Park, would they? But that’s exactly where my mind goes! Elsie Brookes, the heroine of my new novel, Ever Faithful, […]

Billy the Kid…the Five Million Dollar Man
I subscribe to a magazine called True West. It’s free online. https://truewestmagazine.com/ And it comes into my inbox and has some of the most interesting stories in it.

Grass Valley Cowboys
A few weeks ago, I was working on promotional plans for my books for the summer. As I browsed through my books, a little niggling thought kept popping up… one that said it was time for more book cover makeovers. Every once in a while, I’ll give a book cover a new look. It’s fun […]

The Ghosts of Old Tascosa
I hope you’re doing some fun things this summer. A few weeks ago, I drove thirty miles from where I live to what used to be only one of three towns in the entire Texas Panhandle. Tascosa used to be a thriving, but very dangerous, town that at its peak boasted 350 people. It […]

STAND WATIE–A MOST UNCOMMON MAN by CHERYL PIERSON
I am fascinated by Cherokee leader Stand Watie. I’ve used him as a character in many of my stories. I think the reason I can’t seem to get enough of him is because of his remarkable life and accomplishments. Here’s a little bit about Stand Watie and what he did–and then I’ll tell you […]
