Courting the Country Preacher: What does traditional publishing look like to an Indie Author?

Hello everyone! It’s so good to be back in the stable temporarily. I’ve missed you all. Karen asked me shortly after I stepped away if I wanted to blog at all in the coming year.

Halloween…A Time for Romance?

Happy October, friends! Along with ghosts, goblins, and trick-or-treating, I learned Halloween was as much a time for romance as it was for pranks. Who would have thought? To find love on the night of the dead, demons, witches, and goblins? Um, that’s a little bit concerning, no? Would you go ‘yay’ or be ‘boo-ed’ ... Read more

A Knitter’s Boon: Wyoming Wool

Confession time. I’m not a knitter. I would like to be one. I’ve tried knitting. My grandmother taught me the basics when I was eight or nine years old. Much like my messy handwriting, my knitting only produced oblong shapes, instead of tidy, neat rows. Crocheting, on the other hand? Love it! Yeah, I produce ... Read more

My Favorite Things–Flowers

I know, it’s obvious. But still, one of my favorite things is flowers. I’m not overly talented with flowers, and the acres I live on seem to be clay so not that easy to get things to grow. But the few I have, I really love. This clematis was growing on my windmill when I ... Read more
