What's in a name?
For those of you who have children, do you remember the excitement (and perhaps the anxiety) that filled you as you began selecting names? It’s a weighty responsibility, knowing your child will be saddled with whatever you choose for the length of his/her life. No pressure. Ha!
Names are so important. We want our girls’ names to be beautiful and our boys’ names to be strong. Yet more than that, we Read more of this blog post »

question:
Hi, Claudia. Yes! If the Boot Fits is a Cinderella retelling. It's more of a Cinder-fella story with the cowboy hero leaving his boot behind at the ball. :-) It is book 2 in the Texas Ever After series. Hope you enjoy it!

Hi, Holli. I'm so glad Crockett's story lived up to your expectations. I'm always nervous when a new book releases that readers won't like it as well as previous stories. Thanks for the reassurance.You'll be happy to know that Neill IS getting his own story. It's a novella, not a full-length novel, but it's coming in January, so you don't have to wait too long. It will be part of the collection titled A Match Made in Texas. Authors Mary Connealy, Regina Jennings, and Carol Cox are contributing stories as well. You're so right. I couldn't leave Neill out. :-)
Have a great week!

BRILLIANT!
