My Heroes Have Always Been Princesses–Even Disney Ones
Feminism. Do you ever wonder how in the world America was built without those early pioneer women being told (incessantly) they were strong, brave, and didn’t need a man around? Golly, it’s a wonder we were able to help build a country. In the last few days, I’ve heard a couple of Hollywood starlets berating […]

It Didn’t Have to End That Way. So Here is the ALTERNATE Ending…
You either just LOVED it or downright DESPISED it. Y’all are not divided on your opinions of my book A Promise in Defiance. If you are in the camp of “the ending was too tragic and it left me sad,” then you should read Daughter of Defiance, the spin-off story of one of the vilest, and yet, […]

Oh, No, She Di’nt
You know, I write Christian Western Romance not only because the locations and century speak to me, but I LOVE the values espoused in CLASSIC Westerns. Men were men–strong, honest, hard-working, gentlemanly, and compassionate. I use that last word because I’m thinking of a couple of classics like Cheyenne Autumn and Broken Arrow. In these […]

I Speak My Mind and, Yes, That Should be Okay
Last week I let loose with some choice thoughts for what was happening in this Brett Kavanaugh fiasco. Talk about a smear train coming through and this man is standing on the tracks. BUT, that is not what I’m writing about here. I’m writing to express my SHOCK at how many people congratulated me on […]

I Can Change My Mind. I’m a Woman, After All.

The daughter of a cold and ruthless cattle baron, she is terrified her father […]

Pineapple Wednesday–Things Hidden in My Stories!
It’s Pineapple Wednesday! I hide pineapples in my stories (most authors label these Easter eggs–me calling it a pineapple is a hat tip to the TV show #Psych). So here’s one for y’all from A LADY IN DEFIANCE: He sighed like a man accepting his fate. Defiance had to be tamed. If he wanted the railroad […]

Sneak Peek from Daughter of Defiance!
Daughter of Defiance ~ Exclusive for my blog! Release date: September 11, 2018 Mr. GW Moore was what Victoria would have called a pistol. Here in his elegantly appointed drawing room, the man sat ramrod straight—impressive posture for an eighty-year-old man—and ran a gnarled hand through his shock of silver hair. His bright green eyes […]

Deadwood — Day 3
Day 3 Friday I got up early yet again (still on EST) and took a morning hike back up to Mt. Moriah. I went no further than the gift shop. I didn’t sneak past the gate which would have been ridiculously easy. Not because I’m a saint, either. I mean, really, for a $2 admission […]

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made? You Have No Idea…
It has been accepted since the experiments of Wilder Penfield back in the fifties, that hidden away in each of us is a permanent record of our past. If you could live an ancestor’s memory, what would you experience? Could you mistake the recollection for reincarnation? Could you lose yourself in the memories… Travel back […]

How does a man, missing a limb, feel whole again?
Welcome to a sneak-peek of my newest release, To Love and to Honor— Enjoy! From Chapter 5: A day later, Joel was strong enough to travel. And to send word to Ruth of his whereabouts. He tapped the pencil on the Western Union form, trying to determine how much to write. He believed it a […]
