Heartwarming Small-Town Romances and Thrilling Mysteries

Another Day, Another Book Signing Event

I spent all day yesterday at the Community Center in Hermosa, South Dakota. It’s a very small, but nice town south of Rapid City. I’ve been there a few times for different events but haven’t spent much time. A lot of very nice people live there. The event was a vendor fair, not a specific […]

My Second Wild Deadwood Reads

This past weekend was a busy time. I attended two days of writer training and one day-long book signing event. I met so many nice authors and made new writer friends who are amazing. I also met a local new writer who desperately wanted to find a someone to talk about writing. I am more […]

A Weekend in Wyoming

For several years, I’ve watched Wyoming Writers, Inc. offer writing conferences in different parts of the state. It was always tempting to go (I’m such a sucker for workshops to learn my craft), but it never worked out. This time, I was able to attend their conference in Casper.

Where Am I?

April has been a blur so far. I’ve seen a lot of people and natural wonders and gone a lot of places in a short time. I fully appreciated them all and won’t forget the good things that came with them. First, Hubby and I visited my parents which is sometimes a difficult time. They […]

Blog Post Number 456

I started this blog in June 2014 because someone told me I should do that as an author. Doing the math (using a calculator for accuracy), that’s 468 weeks of blogs. I’ve missed a few here and there due to travel and other things, so I used the MS Excel program to find out how […]

Four Days of WIP24

The last four days, I sat in the computer room connected to a vibrant community of women talking about writing topics. One of my favorite conferences, the Women In Publishing Summit is a virtual event. I enjoyed it all and learned a ton of new information, but I’m tired! Why is sitting in a chair […]
