A huge chunk of this year was given over to getting The Cowgirl Jumped Over the Moon out of
my drawer and into the hearts and minds of readers. It is receiving 5-Star
reviews, so I feel gratified that it was worth the effort.
It is re-connecting
me with the horse world in ways I had not imagined when writing the story.
Initially, it was my way of dealing with being injured and having to give up
riding and my mare. My injury forced me to turn my focus onto my writing. Until
then, my best energies were given to taking care of my mare, taking riding
lessons and entering local riding events. Today, I am back in the saddle having
fun going to guest ranches in our wild west, trail rides in foreign lands and
collecting stories for my next book.
Which title do you like the best? I would love to have your feedback.
(1) Wild Ballou Wander
(2) Tuck you in Tales
(3) Lost Angel Rides Again
(4) Let Me Take You There
(5) Whet Your Wanderlust
I went to the Central Coast of California and did some nice
hikes for my birthday in June and snuck off to St. Croix in September for an
equestrian wellness week with Sharon Pohl. Both wonderful trips that I have written about.
Here are the links to those stories as they appeared on my column on The
National Association of Baby Boomer Women.
In 2016 I want to
devote more time to travel. There are some big trips I want to take that
require a lot of planning. Now, that TheCowgirl Jumped Over the Moon is alive in the world, I am free to get back
to exploring our beautiful world.
Wishing you a very
happy New Year filled with exciting adventures!!
