Takoda by T.M. Hobbs




This was a lovely short historical romance set in old west Wyoming. Sarah is a young woman who moves to Wyoming with her Aunt and Uncle after her parents were killed by Native Americans. When she gets to Wyoming, things don’t go as expected when she gets taken by a young Crow man.

This is a sweet romantic piece, if you are looking for an erotic piece this isn’t it, but it is a fun satisfying read. You can get it for .99 at Amazon or at www.bookstogonow.com

Trying to get back in the groove

I’ve been so bad at blogging for the past few months, I just need to get back into the habit of blogging again.

Things are pretty good these days. I’m editing the novel that got dropped and playing around with a new characters. The new ones seem to want to live in New Jersey.

I’ve been letting my reading back up though I think I’m up to 67 books on the ‘to read’ pile so that is a little out of control. I need to get back to reading again – I’m only reading about a book a week. Not fast enough to cut down on the pile.

On a health note, I’ve been havening a pain flare. That just means my pain is about average right now but I’m working on it, with yoga, meditation and now massage therapy. And, of course, the cat purring therapy.

I’m going to try to make a point of having more time on line in the next few months.

I’m not Pollyanna, but sometimes…

Last night I received an e-mail from my publisher that they were dropping my novel. They had pressed me to send them my rough draft three months early and I did. At that point I totally stopped being comfortable with them. I have a learning disability; I don’t like anyone seeing my first drafts.

I am a little sad I guess. I am angry. But mostly I am feeling a profound relief. I hate that I feel relived over something that should be a negative in my life.

I feel like I will be able to create again and work on the things that have been hanging over my head and maybe even participate in on line activities and get back to reviewing short stories again.

How ‘bout you guys have you ever had something so negative feel so incredibly positive?
