CONFERENCES & CONTESTS

Good morning, friends!



Randy and his team do their best to make your stay one you will want to repeat.
Book 2 in my series, An Ozarks Homecoming, opens up in the adjoining restaurant, Myrtie May's

The anticipated conference news is LIVE!  

This will be my 28th (29th) year attending Ozark Creative Writers. I've missed two in their 55+ years. One the year my youngest granddaughter was born. She will turn thirteen this year and the year we all missed, thanks to the big C.

Ozark Creative Writers (OCW for short) always runs the second full weekend in October and garners some big name speakers, agents and publishers as well as talented authors sharing their knowledge and expertise. This year is another example of how hard the OCW Board of Directors works.

Held in the beautiful town of Eureka Springs, Arkansas (where my current book series is set)

Aside from great speakers, for the cost of registration you can enter as many of the 'money-winning' CONTESTS as you would like. 

If you lose track of this post, you can click on their icon on the sidebar.

I hope you'll join us!

WEDNESDAY REVIEW - Sweet-Talking Cowboy

 Good morning, friends!

Today's review is on a book by NYT Bestselling author, Vicki Lewis Thompson. SWEET-TALKING COWBOY is the first in a ten-book series - The Buckskin Brotherhood.



Blurb:
When Lucy Patterson shows up at the Buckskin Ranch with no groom, Matt Ramsey’s in a fix. Six years ago she gave him her heart. He sent her away. He was wrong for her then. He’s wrong for her now. But the years have fanned the flames...

I have read thousands of books in the past fifty years and none, not a single one carried such heartfelt emotion from the very first page. I had to keep a tissue handy to wipe tears from my eyes so I could keep reading. 

The rule of thumb is to bring the hero and heroine together as soon as possible. Vicki did this in this right of out the proverbial gate. From the moment we are in Matt's point of view as he stands in the airport holding a sign and keeping an eye out for the seventeen-year-old he remembered... and whose heart he broke.  You feel his pain. When Lucy arrives in all her wedding gown glory... and alone, Matt understands what he let go of all those years ago. 
There is an equal give and take in this relationship. Both characters are strong in their own way, and soft when they need to be.

While this book released in 2020, and could be a perfect stand-alone read, I can't wait to pick up the remaining nine books in the series. I'm betting once you read SWEET-TALKING COWBOY, you'll feel the same.

I'm giving SWEET-TALKING COWBOY:

AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT - Vicki Lewis Thompson

Good morning, friends!


I'm shining the spotlight on author Vicki Lewis Thompson this week.


I've admired Ms. Thompson for years and have several of her early books on my shelf so when one of her books showed up on my feed, I knew I needed to bring her into the spotlight. Here's a bit about Vicki Lewis Thompson:

BIO:

New York Times bestselling author Vicki Lewis Thompson’s love affair with cowboys started with the Lone Ranger, continued through Maverick, and took a turn south of the border with Zorro. She views cowboys as the Western version of knights in shining armor, rugged men who value honor, honesty, and hard work. Fortunately for her, she lives in the Arizona desert, where broad-shouldered, lean-hipped cowboys abound. Blessed with such an abundance of inspiration, she only hopes she can do them justice.

Read her full bio on her website - https://www.vickilewisthompson.com/vicki

This next part is really important:  

BOOK 1 (published in Feb. 2020) in the Buckskin Brotherhood series (There are 10)

I’m reviewing Book 1 because it is FREE on Kindle as I post this so don’t wait – go grab your copy!

I'll post my review tomorrow (and see nine more books in my purchasing future). In the mean time, please check out the links for Vicki Lewis Thompson below. 

NOTE:  The Kobo link has THREE FREE books available from her!!
