Back to Wide Open Spaces

Last week I traveled over several states. First, I went to Searcy Arkansas to speak at the White County Creative Writers Conference at Harding University. Beautiful campus and warm wonderful people. From there I flew to Las Vegas and met Debbie Macomber, a dear friend who I admire greatly. We had breakfast, as always, talked books. Then we talked at the Henderson Public Library with Robyn Carr leading the discussion. Both are such grand ladies I was honored to spend time with them.
After Vegas I went to San Antonio to the National Federation of Press Women Conference. The group was smaller than I expected but big in quality and talent. I enjoyed the wonderful discussions.
On Saturday Julia (my sister-in-law, friend and assistant) and I drove home. After seeing all the beauty of Arkansas and the lights of Las Vegas and the charm of San Antonio the open spaces of the Panhandle sure looked good. Sometimes I look out my window and marvel at how lucky I am to live in the open spaces.
I’m hard at work getting ready for the Lone Texan to be released on Oct. 6th. Watch for the new book video to be up next week. To my fans, you’re going to love Sage and Drum’s story.
Best to you all,
