My parents spent the happiest days of their 64-year marriage fly fishing. Mom was even more passionate about the sport than Dad. Every chance they got, they’d round up her brother, load the car with gear and head out for Utah’s beautiful mountain lakes and streams. When I was about twelve my dad bought me […]

Thank you for inviting me to Petticoats and Pistols ! I’m flattered that so many wonderful Western writers want me to come play at their house—even though my heroines are more likely to wear Wrangler jeans than petticoats. A first-time guest should always bring a hostess gift, so I brought two copies of Cowboy Fever […]
Why do I write western romances? Even more telling—why do I read western romances? There are many reasons, but the most compelling one is simple. I do it for the cowboys. Those rugged, hard-working men, so capable, so honorable, so devoted to the women who capture their hearts. I can see the silhouette of a […]
Hello Darlings, Saturday will find Miss Joanne Kennedy riding into the Junction. She hasn’t been here before so we need everyones help in rolling out the red carpet. We want to make her visit a memorable one so she’ll come back again. Miss Joanne has a new book out called Cowboy Fever. I think […]
LADY GYPSY was my 2nd book with Dorchester and was initially released the month the Towers came down. For those of us unfortunate enough to have new releases out during that chaotic time, our distribution took a huge hit. There were days when I wondered if my book ever got out of the New York warehouse. Thanks to the raging popularity […]

Wait, weren’t Indans and Cowboys opposed to each other? Well, yes and no! Good Morning! Perhaps it was inescapable that Indians would become cowboys. The way of life, out on the Plains and in the open air. It was too much like the old way of life. There’s a book entitled the same as my title […]
Woo-Hoo! The Fillies are tickled to death over Miss Joyce Henderson’s return on Wednesday. It’s always a pleasure to have her. This time Miss Joyce has in mind to share with us which of her heroes is her favorite and the reasons why. She believes a writer has to love her characters to write […]
When I was a kid, I had a real thing about horses. I wanted one, but growing up on an apple farm meant we didn’t have a barn or pasture to keep one (or two). My solution was to suggest 4-H – using a horse from a nearby farm. But that meant having to drive […]

Okay, so neither the title or the picture are quite right since I walked about 15 miles today (not exactly REST or RELAXATION, but it was FUN :) ) and someone forgot to pack the fishing gear. But at least we made it out of Dodge earlier this week, minus my cell phone (how is […]
Hello Darlings, A new author, Miss Lacy J. Williams, will ride into the Junction on Saturday. This is the first time for Miss Lacy but I’m sure it won’t be her last. She has a wonderful book to tell us about. It sure looks like a humdinger for sure. In plain talk that means […]
As the rest of you probably have, I checked out both Borders stores in my city for bargains. I put two baby name books back on the shelf, but bought one. The Big Book of 60,000 Baby Names. I already had ten name books. So…I threw away two of the old ones. I never even […]
Well, I admit hubby is not a syfy aficionado, but he does like Westerns and he does love me, so last Friday —Cowboys and Aliens release day— he took me to see it after I worked at the horse rescue in the morning. Being retired and cheap, we always go to a weekday matinee. Which […]
Give Me A Texas Outlaw Bundle with Give Me A Cowboy Fellow Filly, Linda Broday, and I just finished up a month’s booksigning tour for our newest anthology, “Give Me a Texas Outlaw”. We spent a lot of time up in the Liberal, Kansas area. We were the hottest act in town. Thanks Liberal! One […]
In my current work in progress, I have placed a large, modern, garden just outside the kitchen door of the ranch house. In the days before refrigerators and all-night grocery stores, nearly every settler planted a kitchen garden once the house was finished, be it soddy, cabin or a mansion. But what exactly is a […]
