Masquerade Marriage

From the moment I started this book, I was captivated by the hero waking on the battlefield of Culloden and how he would escape the brutal aftermath. Masquerade Marriage was a wonderful story of two people who survived the aftermath's of the Scots defeat at Culloden and how the hero and heroine dealt with their situation. Ms. Greene put voice to the terrible aftermath and creates two wonderful characters who find their faith and love in the midst of such turmoil. It is a wonderful read.

A new direction

In the coming weeks, I hope to take this blog in a new directions and have guest bloggers and book reviews. I obviously have not been good to blog. Now I am excited about my other blog at leannharris.com. There the characters of my new book, which will be out in Jan '11, will give the inside story of what happened behind the scene.

Haven't you ever wondered what happened after the book ends? Or what other things were happening during the book that didn't make it in the final manuscript. That's what I will do for Second Chance Ranch.

Tomorrow, I'll do my first review of a wonderful book MASQUERADE MARRIAGE by Anne Greene. Please tune in.

Summer in Hawaii

In the middle of a miserable summer--100 degree days, we flew to Hawaii. 10 days in a beautiful paradise, that is if you weren't driving. But when we were not driving, it was perfect. The picture is my husband and I at the edge of a mountain. It was high enough to be cold, and the wind--well I couldn't walk against it. My hostess explained she used to drive this road carved into the mountain and it was so narrow that if there was a wreck, you got to spend your night on the side of the island you were on.

It was a wonderful time with friends and family.

Things are bigger in Texas

I ran to the store the other day and in the parking lot leading to the store stood the two longhorns in my pictures. I drove closer and thought how funny. I took the pictures and showed them to my husband. He laughed and said, Chia pets are bigger in Texas.

I never thought of that, but looking at the longhorns, I guess he's right.

Remembering D-Day

This is the 66th anniversary of D-Day. For my parents, it is a day they will not forget. I am amazed when I see documentaries about the invasion and the courage each of those men displayed. To see the military cemetery there in Normandy makes your heart ache for all the young lives given.

The people of Normandy have a reverence for those men. We should too.

People may think I'm flag waving. No. I'm simply saying a heartfelt thank you.
