The Ballet!

Tonight is going to be a very special night. I'm taking my daughter, my daughter in law and my 6 year old granddaughter to see the Nutcracker Ballet. I'm SO excited! I've actually never seen the ballet, though I've wanted to go for years, so this year I just bought the tickets and decided we were all going to go this year. I can't wait to take my girls. We're all going to dress up and have a great time!

I already have visions of the Sugarplum Fairy dancing in my head.

Enjoy a little of The...

How About A Christmas Present?

I know I haven't been here much these days. Life is busy. Work is busy. I suppose busy is a good thing because it keeps me writing books, but I hate to be neglectful. So for the next couple weeks I'll pop on here periodically and make it up to you by giving you the chance to win some books. Some will be mine, some will be others books. And I might even throw in a surprise here and there, so stay tuned.

Today I'm going to give away an AUTOGRAPHED copy of PIONEER WOMAN'S COOKBOOK.

Scattered ornaments and tinsel and Christmas movies galore

And there sits my laptop unattended oh heavy woe.

Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas, Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas

In fact, my secondary characters often end up as the main hero or heroine in a subsequent book.
