11/18/25 It's An Author's Life

Yes, I’m a bit late with this posting. I manned the Chickasha Area Arts Council art store yesterday, so I wasn’t able to get this out on time. Nevertheless, here it is. 

Today is release day for Deceitful Promises, a Letters to Santa story, available on Amazon on both KU and print. It is actually the first in a series I hope to add to each year in time for the holiday season. Here’s a sneak peek for you: 

1889 Post Land Rush 

In the untamed territory of the Unassigned Lands, where dreams clash with harsh realities, a tale of love, secrets, and unforeseen alliances unfold. And where promises are made, promises are broken. 

Secrets, misunderstandings, and unforeseen circumstances test their resolve, challenging Kit in his search for a bride, Lydia in her desire to be more than a servant, and Clara in her quest to bring a criminal to justice, face their deepest desires and find the true meaning of love amidst the festive Christmas season. 

That is about it for now. Have a wonderful week! Open those windows and let the Fall fresh air in if you can; it won’t be long before our homes are buttoned up tight to keep the cold winter wind out! 

I can never thank you enough for continuing to read these snippets into my life as an author. I hope I have not bored you too much with them. ðŸ˜Š After all, other people's lives are never as glamorous as we may think. 

May your ereader or bookshelf overflow with delightful books to read!
