From July to November

A lot of summer and fall lies between now and my first post. With an icy northwest wind, we stoked up our corn stove for the first time last night, but good news has warmed my heart the past couple of days.

On December 10, 2012, OakTara Publishing is releasing an anthology of courtship stories called I Choose You, and my short story (A Star Spangled Courtship) will be included. Pretty excited here.

The anthology will be sold in paperback at www.oaktara.com store, www.facebook.com/oaktara store (you may link to it from your own FB account), and other distributors, including amazon.com, barnesand noble.com, and christianbook.com. It will also be available in ebook.

A happy Monday to one and all.

And stay warm!!

Landmark day

catchLandmark day . . . my daughter helped me join the ranks of bloggerdom. But for someone who loves to play with words, they escape me right now. I imagine I’ll do better tomorrow.

The book cover you see here motivated me to take this drastic step. All credit for that goes to Roseanna White, of Whitefire Publishing. The tracks remind me of the old “dead roads” on our Iowa farm as I grew up.

But in this writing life, no dead roads exist . . . only new paths to travel, unique routes to explore, and I’m thankful to be on the journey. I appreciate Jane, Machelle, and all my other writing friends who have cheered me on to this point.

Happy trails –
