First was in Baxter, MN at the Bethany Book and Gift. Deb, the bookstore owner was a tremendous hostess and her staff was positively …
Icecutter’s Daughter Book Tour Continues
Oh we are having great fun in Minnesota and this state has some of the nicest folks. On Thursday I spoke to the wonderful people in Hallock. We had a great deal of fun and even managed to get a little shopping in prior to the event. My hubby Jim needed new boots and we found a wonderful …
Warroad and Greenbush, Minnesota
Today I spoke in Warroad and Greenbush, Minnesota. If you look for these places on the map – you’ll need to look way up north – not very far from the Canadian border. I’ve been to both of these locations before and the people there are absolutely awesome. Of course all of the folks I’ve met at book events are wonderful. …
And We’re Off – Day 1 & 2
So Sunday we heard that a snow storm was moving into the Bozeman, MT area and since I needed to be in Minnesota for the start of my Icecutter’s Daughter Book Tour on Wednesday, I started feeling anxious. Jim and I talked it over and decided to hit the road a day early. We started out in beautiful weather and …

She’s also thought to be the first recorded case of Multiple Sclerosis and …

Margaret Brown
March is Women in History month and with that in mind, we wanted to share a few interesting women we’ve discovered while researching our historical novels. Since I’m currently writing a story set in Denver, I thought I’d share a bit of Colorado history and talk about Margaret Brown – better known as “The Unsinkable Molly Brown”. Margaret …
Sharing the Cold
It looks like much of the nation has something in common with Montana. The snow. I wanted to share some of our beauty with you. I love living in Montana. Scenes like this make me think of the Psalms – especially Psalm 121 Psalm 121 A song of ascents. 1 I lift up my eyes …
