Life is full of adventures, big & small.
This SUMMER (2018), I joined 2 group blogs: Cowboy Kisses & Get Lost in a Story. Now it’s AUTUMN (where did the time go?) but luckily I’ve wrapped my brain (with the help of friends, lots of coffee, & even a few bottles of wine) around a UNIQUE THEME for both blogs: Wild Women of the West & North of the Border.
And since they say “a picture is worth a thousand word,” I couldn’t resist making graphics for each individual blog post…and then I thought, why not share everything that I’ve created (themes, graphics & links to my blog words) in one place?
*** Don’t forget: if you follow this blog (my PERSONAL blog), I’ll share here whenever I have a GROUP blog & you’ll never miss a thing. Click the black “Follow” button at the bottom of this post (or below my author picture – the one with the cowboy hat) ***
Here’s what I have (so far) but I’m looking forward to creating more in the months to come…

Get Lost in a Story – NORTH of the BORDER
* Join me at Get Lost in a Story on Thursdays *
On my North of the Border guest blog series, I ask guests to share something Canadian that inspired or influenced them, their writing, or the stories they love. My first guest was me and my Canadian inspiration included: the farm I grew up on (in Alberta, Canada) & hats (Santa’s hat, Canadian Toques & Welsh Monmouth Caps).

My first real guest was Western Historical Romance author, Alice Valdal…

And now that I have my blogs organized and on track, it’s time to focus on what comes next. And that’s…Christmas! I have another Noelle, Colorado novella called Robyn: A Christmas Bride to finish. And I’ve fallen deeply in love with my new characters (just as I did with The Calling Birds), so my Christmas plans are off to a good start ❤🎄🐦

Wow! You’re busy! Can’t wait to read your posts and interviews!

It’s a busy life for us all, but tonight I’m looking forward to relaxing with a movie & a bowl of popcorn 🙂
Oh Jacqui,
