I’M BACK!!

You may have noticed that I haven’t posted anything here since last May. This was the result of a couple of things. I was deep into the research for my forthcoming, which was pretty all-consuming. Also, my husband and I decided it was time to get our end-of-life instructions (wills, etc) set up. We’re not getting any younger. This led to a major effort to scan family photos and create a kind of history to accompany them that turned into a document that’s pretty close to a full length novel in its own right.

With all that going on, my blog post schedule slipped and then became nonexistent.

But now I’m back! I don’t expect to continue posting quite at the level I was posting when I began the historical fiction part of this journey in 2015, but I do plan to produce content more consistently.

The project I was so involved in last Spring is now getting closer to its conclusion. Tentatively titled The Texian Prisoners, it’s a biographical novel about the 1841 Texan invasion of New Mexico told from the point of view of a Texan who understands that every story has more than one side. I hope to release it this Fall. In the coming months, I’ll be sharing more about that book and the research behind it, as well as other material about New Mexico’s history that I think you’ll find interesting. I also expect to do some book reviews, both of nonfiction sources I’ve mined for The Texian Prisoners as well as historical fiction by fellow New Mexico authors.

I look forward to talking with you again!
