Jared and Nathan Adams at long last are home from space, bringing with them the inhabitants and survivors of the planet Sionian. One of these survivors, Neri Phylo, believes he and his people are now safe after the demise of their home planet.

When the city-ship the Adams brothers and the Sionian people have built arrives, with its beauty and technological advancements, it brightens an otherwise gloomy world.

Due to recent cataclysmic events, Earth is on the brink of shaking itself apart. Just as Jared and Nathan saved Neri’s planet, he faces the impossible task of saving theirs. Earth’s inhabitants, along with his own people, are in great jeopardy.

There are those who claim the ravages of war have left Earth unable to sustain new inhabitants and do not welcome the population of Sion. They want to control the world’s food sources and the disbursement of all food.

But with the ever-increasing earthquakes and the influx of crazed people suffering from a terrible fallout disease, what is the point of rationing food when the planet is about to destroy itself?

If something isn’t done soon, there will be no Earth left.

It's such a kick in the pants to have two books coming out so close to each other. I'm going to try to make this a continual thing . . . You heard it here first.

Anyway, here is today's official release:

Rescue From the Dust: (click the title to find it on Amazon)

Thanks to all my patient friends, family and friendly readers for waiting so long.

WiDo publishing just shared my new cover with me, and I'm sharing it with you. To anyone out there that reads my books, thanks, it's finally on it's way.

Time passes like gas these days. But do not fear, the procrastinating author is still alive and kicking.
I have many things going on in my life, but I won't list them. Let's just say that now Mary has left on her mission and Dee is back at college I'm trying to get my life in order.



Heads up to my reader friends! I have two books coming out early this year. I haven't got exact dates for either yet but both will be in the next month or two.
WiDo publishing has nearly got Rescue From The Dust, the second in the Trilogy, ready to unveil.
And, I have nearly got The Debt of Truth, part two of The Gift of Lies duo, ready to load on Amazon. My apologies to those who have been waiting so long for this one.

Cover reveals on both books will be coming soon . . .

2018 is looking like a very good year.

This last week I spent traveling with my hubby. He received the honor of being in the National Sculpture Society's 84th Annual Awards Exhibition hosted at Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina.

With the help of some very dear friends, we were able to attend the closing reception. We met some wonderful people, saw many beautiful sights, and had a fabulous time.

I didn't take nearly enough photos, as is my weakness. I get so caught up in enjoying the experiences that I forget to record it. But I've included a few here.



Not only did we get to see Brookgreen Gardens, but I was able to see the Atlantic for the first time up close. The weather was supposed to be rainy, but God must have taken pity on me because we had temperatures in the seventies all that day. We started the day at the beach, at the Lichefield Resorts where we stayed. I collected shells and photographed the wildlife.

Then, after breakfast, we spent the day at Brookgreen Gardens, shown above. 
That evening we attended the reception and met more great people than I can possible list.
Sadly, we had to leave the next day and return to Georgia. But all was not sad, as we had dinner with some wonderful people in Cartersville who I feel are now life long friends.
We spent the next morning in Cartersville at the Booth Museum of Western Art. Normally it is not open on Mondays but we were given a personal tour and made to feel like celebrities. I'm learning what people mean by southern hospitality.
Many thanks go out to my gracious nephew in Westminster CO for letting us stay with him and taking us to and picking us up from the Denver airport. He and his dear wife made coming and going a much more pleasant experience. 
Now I'm back in good ol' Cody where it's snowing, and . . .


Well . . . I still have my memories.

"If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." Article of Faith #13
Oh, how I wish the world would take these words to heart . . .

I 've just spent a wasteful amount of time trying to find news sources that tell me the real news, or in other words, the real facts. I've come to the conclusion that there is no such source. All this, so called, "Breaking News," is breaking our country apart. I'm done with it.

Suggestion: instead of looking for things to throw at each other, why don't we have a contest to see who can do the most good? At the end of four years, the American people can decide, by their votes, who was most successful in improving our country.

You might say, "I don't have any power, only the people in power can change things. I have to protest and get their attention so they will fix the things I want fixed." I say, you have more power than you know. However, marching doesn't fix the problems. Action fixes problems.

Mother Teresa had little political power, and yet she did a great deal of good in the world.
"None of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful." Mother TeresaLet's follow her example and see how  we can make, not only our country but the world, a better place.
As for me, to start with, I'm going to quit commenting or reacting to things on Facebook and other media about things that I disagree with, or find unnecessarily negative in either direction. If you post something that annoys me, and I don't comment, it isn't because I don't have something to say, it is because I find your post unworthy of the attention. Posting only gives more fuel to the anger and debate and does nothing at all to solving this world's problems.

Second of all, I am going to try very hard to post things of my own that are uplifting, that I feel might be helpful. For instance, I love gardening and I think a lot of the world's problems could be fixed if we only had more gardens. My next post is going to be about that.

Thirdly, I apologize to anyone who I may have offended by anything I've done or said. Even if I disagree with you on things political or moral, I still love you as my sibling in spirit. I know of at least one person who dropped me on Facebook because I ranted about a nasty post she shared. I'm sorry about that.

And last of all, but not least, I challenge all my friends to follow me in my quest to better the world through positive actions. Together we can make things wonderful. We can fix wrongs and heal hearts that are broken. All of us has a circle of reach that is wider than we know. Lets see how far we can send out our love, one overlapping circle at a time.
