MAY 2026 WRITING AND WANDERING NEWSLETTER


When May arrives, my thoughts turn to gardening. I plan, diagram, buy seeds and plants, and watch the weather closely for a window of opportunity to plant with minimal risk of frost. Spring is probably my favorite season. It is full of possibilities, and the weather is generally pleasant. I hope that everyone gets out and enjoys this lovely time of year.    

WRITING

Marketing The Beartooth Chronicles is an ongoing activity along with looking for ways to keep my backlist out there. I’m not sure what’s next, but I hope you’ll come along for the adventure.

WANDERINGS

So far this spring, following high school track around the state has been the extent of our wandering, but more exciting trips and camping are on the horizon.

WHAT I’M READING, NOTABLE NOVELS, and INSPIRING AUTHORS

I’m currently reading, Primordia: In Search of the Lost World, by Greig Beck. I haven’t read anything by this author before. So far, I’m enjoying it. It’s kind of a mix between Amazonia by James Rollins and Indiana Jones.

I’ve been associated with Gail Pallotta for many years. I’ve enjoyed her books, including the first in her Christian Romantic Suspense Discipleship Series, Hidden Danger. I haven’t read the second in the series yet, Dangerous Detour, but I’m confident it will be as compelling as her other novels and have included a bit more about it below. The third in the series, Dangerous Shadows, was just released late 2025. Though a series, each book stands alone.

In Dangerous Detour four people face a winter storm. Two have lost their way, one has lost his purpose and one has lost his soul. Moose and Ruthie unknowingly shelter in a murderer’s hideout, then escape dodging bullets. Eventually, they locate a house, but who’s there—a friend or foe?

From a 5-star review: The story is full of suspense, mystery, humor, and a sweet romance. I held my breath as each incident unfolded. There is an interwoven Christian theme throughout the story. The main characters learn to trust, overcome their fears, and help one another.

It seems like love happens when you’re not looking for it, and the timing couldn’t be worse. Marked In Mexico’s Jessica, hasn’t figured out a way to break it off with the arrogant son of a prominent senator, who happens to be her boss at the law firm where she works. Oh, and did I mention her dad is totally pushing for her to marry the cheating scum? So, what’s a girl to do? Take a vacation with her best friend and try to get her priorities in order, which sounds like a great idea until…   An idyllic Caribbean vacation turns deadly when hostages are taken at one of Mexico’s most popular Mayan ruins. The kidnappers believe the abduction will be a simple way to negotiate the release of a colleague from a Texas prison, but matters become complicated and the stakes much higher when they realize one of their hostages is the daughter of a powerful U.S. Senator and another is an ex-Army Ranger, who has no intention of playing by the rules.   I’ll be giving away a $10 Amazon...

Blogfest – Did I Notice Your Book?

What makes a new book jump out and beg to be read even if you’ve never heard of the author?   A great cover or a catchy title can grab the attention of a potential reader, and Beth Groundwater’s Wicked Eddies did just that.   It’s difficult to ignore, Wicked Eddies , and not be just a bit intrigued. Did I notice your book? If so, please comment. If you’re just curious, here’s the blurb. Fly fishing is dangerous?   River ranger Mandy Tanner had no idea until days before a huge tournament in Salida, Colorado. True, the Arkansas River can be a man-eater, but the rapids weren’t responsible for driving a hatchet into the neck of would-be competitor Howie Abbott—a secretive man who may have been cheating. While casting about for suspects, Mandy seeks clues from Abbott’s family members, including her best friend, bartender Cynthia Abbott. But when Cynthia becomes the prime suspect, Mandy realizes that trolling for the true killer has plunged her way too deep into wick...
