Apologies for the silence!

In light of my lack of blog posts over the last week, several readers have expressed concern. Are we okay?

Yep, we're fine. Just busy. Here's what's been happening in the last two weeks.

I finally got my next six-book contract with Harlequin. This is wonderful news, but it also means I have a proposal (synopsis + three chapters) due October 1. I'm (ahem) bookin' on that!

My latest book, "Uncovering her Amish Past," is currently available. I don't keep track of release dates and somehow they always catch me by surprise.


A friend was in Walmart recently and took a photo of the available books, which included mine.

Next, I've been working extra days with my online job, covering for coworkers. This means I'm often working 10 to 14 days at a stretch with maybe one day off. It's extra work, yes; but it's also extra income, always welcome.

Then, to top it off, I've been canning blueberries and peaches.

All this, dear readers, accounts for the blog silence. I've been slowly working on documenting the rest of the Montana road trip we took earlier this month, and have just been too busy to get anything up.

To those who have expressed concern, thank you! And no worries, we're all fine. Just ... busy.

  1. This will only ramp up as more chores stack up from "cow duty". Your homestead is the biggest priority and it's just beginning to produce. Your writing career is florishing with all the books. The blog is good, but right now, everybody is probably very busy with some of the same end of season stuff exept for writing, so don't sweat it.

  2. I wasn't "worried" about you, but will confess to having added a few extra prayers for you, Don, Older Daughter, and Younger Daughter. It's good to hear y'all are doing well.

    I know you are very busy, but as the saying goes you need to make hay while the sun shines.

  8. I volunteer at our (small city, E TN) library. Amish nickels are incredibly popular here, and I’m pleased to see yours being added to the mix.
