I've never been good at keeping secrets, so running a promo of 12 Days of Holiday Surprise in my Facebook reader group and bot telling anyone the real reason why has been hard, but I did it! See they didn't know we were counting down to this final surprise......

I can't believe a full week passed since my last blog post. Boy did it go quickly! I'm only going to do a brief recap. There are pics up on IG and my author FB page for each day and I'll be photo dumping to my personal FB page soon from pics throughout the entire...

My brain is still whirling from information overload from this amazing event. Thank you Skye Warren for hosting it. I made new friends and solified a strong plan for 2020 that I can't wait to get started on! I'm not going to write too much on this right now, but may...

Honestly haven't done much to report in the last 48 hours. The girls and I have been taking it easy and hanging in the hotel. It's been cold and rainy here. And I think we really just needed the downtime, I mean I slept 14 hours straight the first night we were in...

Texas is facing a cold front. Yuck! Found a good deal on a beachfront hotel in Galveston which is less than an hour from my conference in Houston later this week. So we slept in then packed up, said goodbye to San Antonio and made the 4 hour drive to Galveston. But...

This is day 10 and we've been running non-stop since we left. 12 states in 10 days. It was time for a break! While we awoke to a warm 70° day, it was cloudy and overcast, meaning we had little desire to venture out. I got some work done on my next book, the older two...

Rachel Young is currently in San Antonio, Texas going through AIT for the National Guard. She is Hope's best friend and like a bonus daughter to me. We haven't seen her since she left for basic in July. The first week of our trip was in high speed to get here in order...

On a multi-week trip there's bound to be a couple snags along the way. Let me back it up a little on a couple things I didn't mention already. Arizona has the BEST sunsets! New Mexico has really terrible roads! And,, things got strange as we entered Roswell. This...

We awoke early (on purpose) and headed back to Yavapai Point to watch the sun rise on the Grand Canyon. It is a spectacular thing to see and I highly recommend if you ever get the chance. Watching the canyon come alive in the morning light will be another...

After a good night's sleep in Moab, Utah we were up and ready to go. Breakfast was good...bacon! Most hotels tend to serve sausage so it felt like a treat. It's the little things! To save money we rarely eat out twice, so free breakfast means we can easily snack...

Before we get to the beautiful cliff dwellings of southwestern Colorado, Hope and I started our day at sunrise with a walk around the resort in 23 degree weather. Anyone who knows me at all, knows I despise the cold, BUT it was truly amazing and I'm glad I did it....

After a relaxing night in Alamosa, CO at a really great Comfort Inn & Suites, we headed west. We started in the Rio Grande National Forest and somehow came out in the San Juan National Forest with no idea when or where it changed. I believe they said we took Wolf...
