Have you ever wondered about the changes in music and literature–how they came about? Who were the people behind this revolution?
Excitement Galore!
I am so excited to announce my second historical western, Riding The Storm! If everything goes as planned, I will have it out in August, 2014, which will be a miracle in itself since I’m self-publishing this book. Talk about a learning curve! Kudos to all those self-pubbed authors out there who have led the way because I’m completely overwhelmed with all the rules and requirements, not to mention the half-a-dozen different sites I’m having to learn. Thank God for my CP (critique partner for those of you who aren’t familiar with author lingo) because without her, I’d be a flopping fish in a straightjacket. Wait, I’d flop right out, wouldn’t I?
Anyway, here’s the FANTASTIC cover for Riding The Storm, designed by Clary Carey, whom I bow to. She’s amazing!
He searches for his future.
She searches for her past.
But can they ride the storm to find each other?

Blogging Ideas
While I’ve been creating this site, the one thought that keeps popping into my mind is how do people come up with their post ideas? Do they surf the internet for the popular subjects currently discussed? Or, do these writers pull a thought our of their head?
For me, I hope the answer is somewhere in between. I’ve never been one to follow the 
crowd or do what’s popular at that moment. On the other hand, I know what’s in my head and it scares me–imagine what it would do to regular people? Too many thoughts ping-pong around in my brain on extra-high speed. A popular question I get is “How do you keep track of them all?” My answer is, “I don’t.”
The best way to describe the evolution of my thoughts is once they get tired of boomeranging into each other, new thoughts take their place and the old thoughts are forced to play slip and slide on the outside looking in. Makes for some awesome headaches. Eventually, the old thoughts mature (most of the time) and resurface in a malleable format.
Maybe looking into the monstrous variety of topics and plethora of blogs would be a better idea…
What do you think? Where do you find your ideas?
Scrimshaw Doll Blog
I am blogging on the Tales of the Scrimshaw Doll Blog today. This is a brand new blog made up of writers from my OKRWA group – the Oklahoma Outlaws. This is a series of e-books published by The Wild Rose Press about a doll that carries a gypsy curse and how the curse reacts with each owner through time.
My story is highlighted today and is told through the doll’s point of view, which was really interesting to do. Main characters like the heroine and hero – even the antagonist are easy to write. It’s like a solid stream of conversations. Like a dream. But an inanimate object who suddenly isn’t so “silent”? It was actually fun in a creepy kind of way. It fits with my story line in Trail of Hope – love, death, and obsession on the Trail of Tears.
Be sure to check back and read about a different story each Wednesday. Comments are much appreciated!
