G’day. Thanks, Sheilas, for having me at your place. (Sheila, by the way, is Aussie for a young, attractive woman. That’s us, isn’t it?) I’m Australian and you might be wondering what someone from Down Under is doing here. It’s about as far from Texas as you can get… isn’t it? You’d be surprised… there’s [...]

What I love best about writing historical westerns is that I get to research the world of the west as it existed at the time of my stories. . . and then make up my own reality–using the truth and a bit of fiction. My Men of Defiance series takes place in a make-believe town [...]

And she’ll be here come Saturday. Miss Janet Gover is a lady who can always find a little romance in the Outback. Miss Janet [...]
I had great fun plotting and writing my novella for the April Mother’s Day anthology. It’s always tricky coming up with a Mother’s Day idea. Especially for inspirational romance, because these are sweet romances, so secret babies don’t really work. So I toss out ideas about where children come from and how old they are [...]

Applicable to the greater 50 US [...]
I was researching a completely unrelated topic the other day when I came across a reference to water witching. Intrigued, I decided to follow the enticing rabbit trail and learn more. Water witching is a specialized form of dowsing, which is the ancient practice of locating items using a rod or stick. This implement is [...]

While writing my novel, The Jewel of His Heart last year, I was researching for interesting facts to incorporate into my historical. My story takes place in Montana and I had the luxury of visiting there twice. I was able to come away with interesting historical facts to weave into my plot. The story is [...]
Margaret Brownley Scams, advertisements and demands from Prince “Wants Your Money” from some foreign country: Sound like your e-mail? You’re close.

On Monday nights my husband and I get together with some friends down the street. They live just eight houses away, so we walk. No big deal, except last Monday it was snowing and my husband was at work. I braved the cold and the wind alone, feeling the sting on my face and the [...]
