Well, goodness, we started off this contest with trivia about the Fillies at Wildflower Junction and learned even more tidbits about them during these past two weeks of wonderful blogs. Now we’ll end with some more trivia!! So bear with me, before I announce the winners here’s some really cool stuff about our authors! Oh and [...]
It’s party time at the Junction!!! We are so excited to have unveiled our new look, that we just had to throw a good old-fashioned boot-scootin’ party. And what’s a party without gifts? Boring. We can’t have that. Felicia’s old mule, Jasper, would start buckin’ and causing all kinds of havoc. So, for the next two [...]

A fiction writer is always looking for wonderful people in life to pattern characters after. As I researched Alaska where much of my new release, Cold Justice, is set, I found a wonderful character in Klondike Kate aka Kathleen Rockwell. While none of the characters in my novel were patterned after Kate, I think my [...]
Honky-tonk: a cheap, noisy saloon or dancehall. Okay, I’ll go along with the online definition for honky-tonk as a noisy bar or dancehall. But cheap? I don’t think so. As a plot-moving literary venue, a good honky-tonk is worth its weight in gold. It’s a place where characters gather to gossip, hook up, or plan [...]

Yes, I have Olympic fever. I love the Olympics and I can’t decide if I love the summer or winter games more. With summer we have swimming and gymnastics and diving and volleyball. With winter we have bobsleds and ice skating and ice dancing and skiing. It’s a tie for me. They both get [...]
I’m smack in the middle of a deadline race, so this blog is going to be on the short side. And it’s going to be about what we all love–books, reading and romance. Leave a comment, and I’ll add your name to the hat for a drawing for a copy of “Brides of the West,” [...]
Tomorrow will be Valentine’s Day. For many folks that means roses and heart-shaped cards inscribed with sweet sentiments. Not me. I go for the good stuff…chocolate! Humankind’s love affair with chocolate goes way back. In the early 1500’s, the first Spanish conquistadores to arrive in Mexico discovered the Aztecs enjoying chocolate as a beverage. They [...]

Time for a confession. I chose this unromantic topic as an intro to my new book. After discovering that I was scheduled to blog on the most romantic day of the year, I scrambled to find a connection to the holiday. Did I find it? Read on. In December 1917, a permanent ban on the [...]
The Outlaw’s Return is special to me for a couple reasons. J.T. Quinn is doing the hardest thing a person can do. In spite of instincts to the contrary, he’s trying to be a better man. It’s not easy when you have a past like his. The other reason I love this book is Fancy Girl. She’s [...]
