Happy Friday, everyone.
I had intended to put up more Ireland photos today, but life had other ideas. I am heading out to East Texas for my sister Jean’s celebration of life.
I did, however, want to share a couple of things and will get back to more of the Ireland journey soon.
I am THRILLED beyond words to learn that Saddled Hearts is a finalist in the 2023 Page Turner Awards! I have entered various books in that contest for several years, and this is my first time to be named as a finalist! Haven’t gotten your copy yet? Here’s a handy-dandy link: SADDLED HEARTS
Also, more bookish news – I have a sparkling brand new book cover for BRAZOS WIND! The most consistent comments in reviews for this one are that readers want more of the story. Maybe someday…
I had the cover designed through GetCovers. They are very affordable and will work with you until you get what you want.
Next weekend, I will be away at a writer’s conference in Oklahoma. This is the first year for RomanceLahoma, and I am looking forward to participating. So, there will be no Friday post from me next week.
Also, today I am over at Story Empire talking about ways to add Palm Reading to fiction stories. Come on over!!
That’s it. Have a great weekend!
