Back for a little while

Hello from sunny, but not too hot, Montana. I took a couple of weeks off to tend to homefires, but now I’m back.  At least for a little while. Montana is enjoying warm weather, but low humidity, unlike most of the rest of the country. I’ve decided to invite you all to come up and enjoy our wonderful summer. First …

Battles to be Fought

This morning I awoke from a dream in which the Lord was saying to me, “Stop trying to fight battles that have already been won.” Talk about something to chew on all day. Today, amidst finishing the final touches on my latest manuscript and getting it turned into the publisher; I thought long and hard about what the Lord was …

Lifes Ups and Ups

My grandkids are a constant reminder to me that there are reasons to be in this world and to continue the good fight. In May we nearly lost Rainy – yes again. She’s had another surgery and another birthday (her 9th) and we celebrate and praise God for her. Fox is doing well and going strong. He’s an amazing kid. …

Home Again

It’s so good to be home again and back to the routine. Before I close out my book tour related blogs, however, I wanted to share just a few interesting moments. I know I mentioned how the storms seemed to follow me. There were tornadoes in states that rarely ever have tornadoes. There was also flooding and the threat of …

Wrapping Up

So we’re on our final week of the booktour and we’ve had a great time. I’ve met some of the neatest folks. Here are a few photos from our days on the road. This is Erika and she was so sweet. She came rushing in at the close of the signing having just gotten off work. And this is our …

Week 3 and Graduation

So we’ve had a nice time in Boston. This is a wonderful town in which to do research. I’m trying to learn all I can as I search for story ideas. The history here is so rich and the old buildings quite enticing. We have toured the Museum of Fine Arts and enjoyed not only the great old pieces, but …

Week 3 Book Tour

Well we’re heading into our 3rd week on the book tour! This week we get to spend time with our daughter Jen and see her graduate from Harvard and hopefully I’ll have some photos next week. This last week we finished up with Minneapolis – thankfully before the tornadoes hit, but we have been praying big time for all the …

Week Two on our Trip Across America

I’m having a great time on the booktour. I’ve met so many wonderful people and have very much enjoyed getting to share with them why I write and how much I love the Lord. We battled the waterlogged areas of eastern North Dakota and western Minnesota. I hope you’ll continue to pray for those folks. They are quite desperate to …

Chateau de Mores Medora ND

For the next month my husband and I are traveling on booktour. For the details of where I’ll be and when – go to my website www.traciepeterson.com and click on EVENTS. Anyway, I wanted to share some of the wonderful things we’ll be doing. Today we plan to tour the Chateau De Mores and I thought you might like to …

Changing Pastures

We all have those things we want to try our hand at – one of mine was driving a stagecoach. So on the 23rd of April, my dream came true. 🙂 The hardest part was climbing up into the driver’s seat. You can see in this photo that the wagon wheel was nearly as tall as me. I’m standing there …
