I've officially reached that age where I seem to be wearing everything I eat. That's not exciting news--sadly, it's reality.
Fortunately, I do have exciting news that almost makes up for the extra laundry. The audio rights for the first three books in my new Roped in Time series have been purchased by Podium Audio!

Book 1, The Cowboy Contract, releases on March 3rd. This series is all fun and no angst.

Excerpt:
Benny, who’d begun life as an evangelist, had envisioned starting his own religion here, and he upheld those beliefs to this day. His beliefs, however, had never included cooperation with the US government, which he viewed with complete and utter contempt—particularly after its attempts to conscript him.
He’d first relied on the life savings of the converts who’d wandered into the commune via word of mouth. But to his credit, Benny didn’t have the stomach to sustain that kind of evangelism for long. He was fine with amassing communal wealth. Communal poverty?
Not so much.
Stealing from the poor didn’t hold much cachet for a modern-day Friar Tuck, so he’d come up with a better, more soul-satisfying, longer-term plan for funding his vision. He’d turned Burning Scrub into a high-end, international tourist destination that offered a pseudo-western experience to people willing to pay for how they believed the Wild West was won. He went after an elite market—the type of people who invested in art acquired through sketchy channels. The type of people who had no problem poaching endangered species, as long as they got an exclusive, big-game-hunting experience. The type of people who shared their experiences with equally rich and entitled friends who would never dream of letting word leak to the common masses.
In short, these days Burning Scrub was an exclusive club for the philanthropically disinclined and the morally ambivalent, with a registered church on the side to satisfy any IRS inquiries.
I'm wrapping up Book 2 right now. Stay tuned for Jayce and Malika's story!
If none of that is exciting enough for you, my Grand, Montana town also has news! Book 6 in The Endeavour Ranch series, The Cowboy's Downfall, is on sale for 99 cents. This story is mostly fun, with just a teensy bit of angst.

That's pretty much all the excitement I can take for one day. I'm off to do laundry!
