Though I haven't been posting, I have been writing, but I've been in a funk so it's been slow. Finally, several projects motivated me to get busy. In the last 12 months, I have published three novellas, all Historical Western Romances. I hope you'll take a look.

Yes, it is. But, that's the way things have been going lately. Shoot me an email with your snail mail address and if it doesn't cost and arm and a leg, I'll mail you a print copy of Birdie.

Hi CJ,
Can't seem to keep up with it all so doubt you found anything new on my page. Oh, I take that back, I've had two releases since January. Hope they're up there.

I'm having a contest on my website at www.lindalaroque.com
There is still time to enter to win a sterling silver prickly pear cactus charm.

You have a great week too and thanks so much for keeping in touch! I'll check out your page and see what's new with you.

Hi Linda and thanks for adding me. I think we're friends on at one other group. This is such a wonderful site, too. Just wanted to shout hello to another 'Texas Sister'. I read you bio and I totally understand about 'learning' how to write a novel and perserving. I'm currently co-authoring a romantic suspense with a friend of 30+ years (and we're still friends! LOL). I love you website and I'd love for you to visit mine. I'm up for any and all suggestions regarding writing, getting published or the website, etc.
