Book One of Pack Saddle Ranch Done. What Next?

-

 

Hello, dear readers!

I'm thrilled to share that Book One of the Pack Saddle Ranch series is now available in paperback-link below! If you haven't grabbed your copy yet, now's the perfect time.

What's Next?

I'm finalizing the outline for Book Two and will begin writing within the next couple of days. My goal is to have it ready by the end of November—ambitious, I know, especially with family celebrations and Thanksgiving on the calendar! Book Three is expected to be published by the end of December.

After that, I'm diving back into the Woolsey Saga series with a story about Henry and Daniel Woolsey, the father and son who served as Revolutionary War soldiers. I'm doing additional research to bring their story to life, with a target release in time for April and the 250th celebration of America.

Holiday Gift Idea

Christmas is just around the corner! Do you have a mother, grandmother, or someone on your list who loves historical fiction? The Woolsey Saga would make a wonderful Christmas gift. Or if they're more of a historical romance reader, start them on the Pack Saddle Ranch series—perfect for cozy winter reading!

A Small Favor

If you've read any of my books, I would be incredibly grateful if you'd leave a review. Your feedback helps more than you know, and it also helps other readers discover these stories.

Life Update

In non-writing news, I'm less than a week away from my granddaughter's baby shower! The gifts are wrapped, games are ordered, and today I'm finalizing the cake design. Fair warning: Pinterest is a dangerous place when you're planning a party—I may have lost a few hours there!

Thank you all for your continued support. I'm excited to share what's coming next.

Happy reading!

Ancestral Stories

Duane is in my writer group, and like me, he is writing about his ancestor. So, if you liked my Woolsey Sage, where I drew on the real lives of my ancestors and set them in a historical fiction world, then you may also like Duane's books. This is the first book in a trilogy about Bee Adkins.

52 Ancestors: The Bridge Between Two Worlds--William Vaughn Cook

  The Bridge Between Two Worlds: William Vaughn Cook's Journey from Missouri Pioneer to Chickasaw Citizen In the dusty archives of the National Archives and the faded pages of century-old census records, there lives a story that speaks to the heart of America's frontier experience—a tale of love, adaptation, and the courage to cross cultural boundaries. It's the story of William Vaughn Cook, a man who became a bridge between two worlds. A Mystery That Began in Kentucky Picture this: somewhere in the rolling hills of Kentucky, a family named Cook made a decision that would echo through generations. Ananian (or Ananias, as records sometimes spelled it) and Mary Cook packed their belongings and joined the great westward migration that defined 19th-century America. Like thousands of other families, they sought opportunity in the expanding frontier, carrying with them little more than hope and determination. But here's where their story becomes a genealogist's riddle...

Newsletter: His Greatest Regret

-

"It started like a spark — hot, irresistible, impossible to ignore. But sparks burn out fast… and the ashes leave scars." When I wrote  His Greatest Regret , I wanted to explore what happens when grief and longing push two people together — not because they’re ready, but because they’re lonely, human, and aching to feel alive again. Richard and Charlotte’s love was never meant to last. It began as a spark: a widow and a widower, each carrying their own grief, finding an unexpected comfort in one another. What started as warmth grew into a fire that neither of them could control — and that fire left behind ashes that scarred everyone it touched. Most of all, it scarred William — the child born of that spark — who would carry the weight of Richard’s choices for the rest of his life. (William’s story comes next month — but you’ll need to catch up on what came before.) 🔥 Excerpt: Charlotte stood before the shop, her arms wrapped around an enormous flour sack that threatened to s...

52 Ancestors: Rachel (Mason) Roe - Hidden in Plain Sight

-

  "Did your mom speak Romani, and were your mom and dad both gypsy?" The question from my newly discovered cousin, Rhonda Krug, stopped me cold. After fifteen years of tracing my ancestors, I thought I had uncovered every family secret. But this? This was something I never saw coming. My second-great-grandmother, Rachel Mason Roe, had always been one of my more puzzling ancestors. Born around 1863, she appeared in records with frustrating inconsistencies—different birth years, various spellings of her name, and conflicting information about her origins. When I discovered the 1910 census claiming she was "half Chippewa Indian" born in Canada, my mother and I thought we'd finally found the answer to our unknown heritage on that side of the family. But those inconsistencies that had frustrated me for years suddenly made perfect sense once I understood the truth: Rachel wasn't Native American at all. She was Romani. The Records That Didn't Add Up Rache...
