Party Like a Rock Star (Or at Least Like a 46 Year Old)

Hello there everyone! This week we're talking what we did during our time off. I took the time to do what I've needed for a long time. I took a vacation! Hubby and I went to a couples only resort in Cancun. Sun Palace knows how to spoil a couple. We spent the day lounging by the pool, exploring the Mayan ruins, and eating a variety of foods we've never tried. The couple's massage was my favorite. Hubby fell asleep on the table and started snoring. I was trying not to laugh. The ocean view was...

APRIL SHOWERS

For me, the break began with a weekend at the beach to celebrate my 30th anniversary with my husband, Mike.

We drove down to Lincoln City, Oregon. It was rainy and windy. Typical spring day on the Oregon Coast.

We arrived with high tide, rain falling in a salty mist. 

On Saturday we went treasure hunting at the crack of dawn--literally. It was still dark out when I wandered down the path to Road End Beach which was supposed to be the end of where they put out the glass sea balls to be found...

#AuthorInterview: Lynn Cahoon!

Welcome back to the Round Corral, WordWrangler readers! We're super excited to have contemporary romance author Lynn Cahoon with us today to answer our questions and share a bit from her latest novel, The Bull Rider's Keeper. Here we go!

Liz: What woman alive or dead would you want to have dinner with and what would you talk about?

Lynn: Good question.  I don’t mean to be political here, but Jackie Kennedy Onassis.  I’d get down and dirty in the conversation. What kept her going durin...

A little R&R

Hi, all!
We here at the Wranglers took the month of April off for a little R&R. I don't know how much of that we actually got. Everyone was really busy! But I'll let everyone share their own news. It was a crazy month for me. I contracted my contemporary western suspense, Ride A Falling Star, with Heart's Desire Press and finished edits on it. I have some blog appearances coming up on it. Please watch for them!
My novella, Sunny Days Ahead, became perma-free and it's been fun to watch it m...

We're Back!

Hey, there, Wrangler Wreaders, we’re back! We thank you for your patience while we enjoyed an April spent lying on our couches eating bonbons and drinking delicious things from umbrella-adorned glasses.
Well, okay, no, not exactly. But we did do some fun things during our sabbatical. There were a few good times away—Shawn was so relaxed I’m not sure she’s awake yet. We’ve had some wine, some chocolate, some—what did you say, D’Ann?—oh, right, yes. Work. Lots and lots of work. I was getting to...

Random March Thoughts

This is my last post for a month and I have nothing to write. Which means you are in for random thoughts from my head. 

Last night I came home and my evergreen clematis is in bloom! I should go take a picture and post it for you. Hang on.

Okay--that was much harder than I anticipated. I went outside armed with my iPhone--which I admit, I am not totally proficient with yet--and tried to take a picture. However, the camera was on video mode so I took some videos of the flowers...

So Long!

Okay, not forever..but that's why I called this post So Long rather than Good-bye, because we'll be back blogging and writing and having fun in a few weeks.

We've had a really eventful few weeks here at WordWranglers and as Liz and D'Ann already told you guys, we are taking a little break from regular blogging. We're taking off the month of April and will come back with more posts, guest authors and silliness for your enjoyment. And we may even have some new book covers to show you (I said we'...

Spring Fever!

This has been the longest winter on record across most of the country. It hasn’t been horrible here in Western Colorado, but I still have a terrible case of cabin fever. I love to flower garden. It’s one of my main passions. The ground is still half frozen and I haven’t had a single tulip bloom yet. We lease our acreage to farmers who grow corn. They’ve begun plowing, the scent of fresh turned earth fills the air. The horses are shedding their winter coats and are in that funny molting stage...

The way to peacefulness

First off, congratulations and thanks to Laura Strickland for naming the cat in my WIP. Caruso is a big Russian Blue, complete with green eyes and ringed tail (brought to my writerly mind by one of Cheryl Reavis's Cats She Does Not Own--right, they own her!) She’s  a girl, but she has a loud voice, so Caruso is her name!
Also, congratulations and thanks to Kristi Knight, who gave the little dog in the story the name of Wally, short for Walter Mittens (I don’t know his breed or when he’ll...
