Time flies. I can’t believe that it was 2017 when I became a filly with Petticoats and Pistols. Since my first post all of you have shared poignant memories and family stories with me. You’ve made me laugh and taught me more than a thing or two. You’ve offered encouragement, ideas, and friendship. Getting to know each of you has blessed and enriched my life. I hope I have given some of that in return.
But life changes. My heroes have never been traditional cowboys, but my newest heroes in the five-book series I’ve contracted to write for the Tule Publishing Group will be Texas soldiers. These men served together in Afghanistan where a suicide bomber brought a building down on them. Correspondence with a resident will draw each of them to the small east Texas town of Service in search of a fresh start. While I’m excited about this new venture, the change means I no longer fit as well with Petticoats and Pistols cowboy theme.
I have loved spending time with all of you and with the wonderful fillies in the corral. I can’t say how much I’ll miss chatting with you every month. I hope those of you who’ve enjoyed my books will continue to follow me, and don’t be surprised if I stop by as a guest in the future.
So instead of saying goodbye, I’ll say talk to you in a while. Take care and may God bring you as many blessings as you’ve given me.
