What Kid Rock Did For Me

Do you have a type? A certain build or look that attracts you? I think most people do. I do. Everyone on the planet knows I love Timothy Olyphant, the actor who plays Raylan Givens on Justified. He's a badass on the right side of the law--most of the time. He's clean cut, wears a hat, jeans and boots. He shoots first and asks questions later. He's sexy as hell. I hope some of my heroes are as yummy-licious as both the actor and the character he plays.




I wish I could post pics, but copyright an...

What's Next?

I read lots of quilting magazines. Along with cutting and sewing instructions on quilt patterns, there are always skill levels. Beginner, confident beginner, intermediate, and—I think the last one is difficult. Goodness knows, I’ll never get to that one.
Professional writers have skill levels, too, though I’m not going to spell them out here. We’re complex, so we have many of them, and I’m pretty sure any one of us you asked would assign them differently. For the sake of the post, though, I’m...

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'...
