About the author

Award-winning and bestselling author, international traveler, feted at a Hollywood premiere . . .

All true . . . but my regular life is a whole lot more routine. Deal with the five big puppers who share our house, babysit our grandson, battle the jungle that is our yard, pray for summer in winter and dream of winter in summer, and hunker down at the computer -- that's my real life.

I grew up in Oklahoma and had the fun of living in Georgia, Alabama, California and the Carolinas, thanks to my husband's Navy career. When he retired, we came home to Oklahoma and have lived in the same house for seventeen years. That's a real "Wow!" for someone used to the nomadic military life.

Writing was the perfect career for all that moving. Have computer, will travel. I've set books, or part of them, in every state we've lived in and been inspired by every place I've ever been. I've now written somewhere around 80 books, and I think I've got only about 8,000 stories left to tell.

My biggest hobby is starting new projects -- starting. Not completing. I'm still not done with the cross-stitched Army seal I started when our son joined out of high school. He did tours in Georgia, Colorado, Korea, Italy, Iraq, Afghanistan and Louisiana, and has been out for a few years. So I'm a little slow.

I like to think about getting organized, painting my living room in cool beachy colors, and turning my entire five-acre yard into a garden. I also dream about having every room in my house clean at exactly the same time, but I live by the motto of the woman who taught me to quilt: A clean house is the sign of a bored woman.

And I've never been bored.

Reviews

[Erika Pearson · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really like the idea of a continual series written by different authors. However, the facts need to be kept straight. Most of the books have been correct with only minor errors. In this book though there is a major factual error. Homer Gilmore is said to have no children but there is a Montana Mavericks book, "Father Found," where his daughter is the main character and she marries a Cheyenne doctor. I really like this story but think this error is unacceptable. Also in the other books Winona Cobbs is a loved and respected member if the community not "crazy Cobbs."

I have not read the series, so I did not have issues with multiple authors and the alteration of “facts.” I read it because this author is one of my favorites. I enjoyed the book and the characters. I doubt I’ll read the whole series. The book does well as a “stand alone.”

Pretty adorable, but not the best book I've ever read

Story line was good except for the info on Homer Gilmore was wrong.
