Some of you have asked me to post pics of my recent trip. Since I spent most of May in Scotland I’ll start there and save Spain for another post. I took over 1600 photos so will try to share a few highlights here. After a 13 hour flight from Seattle, I arrived in rainy Glasgow and took Scotrail north. The train …
Epic
I’m home again – my luggage was lost but finally caught up with me Saturday – and now I’m trying to catch up! So thankful for your thoughts and prayers as I traveled. I seem to have brought a bit of the Spanish flu back with me (doesn’t every vacation have one little glitch?!) so will close comments here till that is …
The edge of the world
I want to wave you farewell till June as I’m leaving for Scotland again soon. Once in Glasgow I’ll take a train into the Highlands then ferry over to the Hebrides and stay here in the islands. Scotland in May is a marvelous thing:) There are only a few hours of darkness and everything is so vividly green. For centuries the Hebrides have been …

Follow the Heart
Celebrating Kaye Dacus’s new series which releases today! And also want to share her stellar post on the…COVER SHOOT.

Some readers love them, others feel they are author intrusion. Obviously I love them or they wouldn’t appear. I apologize to those readers who feel they are …

Pin of the week

Heroines
I suppose it’s just not fair to have a heroes post and not a heroines post…so here it is:) Hats off to Jan for prompting me! People sometimes ask how I name the characters in my novels. I think it’s a little like naming a baby:). I give it a great deal of thought. I always search for a name that fits the …
A beautiful day
This past Friday I turned another year older/better/nearer heaven ~ take your pick :). Birthdays are generally low key for us though we did go out for Thai food. That’s my oldest son, Wyatt, with yours truly. Paul was hiding and Randy was operating the camera so you’re not getting the whole story, so to speak. There were so many wonderful things about …
