Such a beautiful fall day to finish the book I was Such a beautiful fall day to finish the book I was sure would be the one that beat me. 

Pro tip: don’t believe the dark things you tell yourself because it’s hard. And especially not when you’re sick. 

Things always look better in the light. And the words don’t need to flow to be the right words, all you need to do is put them into sentences that tell your story. Then keep right on doing it until you’re done.
What a joy to get to spend a whole life having the What a joy to get to spend a whole life having the very best adventures all over the world with you, Kim! ❤️

Even if some things, like near death experiences and highly questionable choices while backpacking, are really only funny in retrospect… Good thing we know how to tell a story—and are great at judicious revision. 😂

Happy birthday! I love you! 🎂❤️🎂😘🎂
Ten years ago I published my first cowboy book. It Ten years ago I published my first cowboy book. It was a special little book for a lot of reasons. I had never written small towns before. I had never written anything set in Montana before. I had certainly never written anything involving a rodeo before. Much less a cowboy! But I’d gotten the opportunity to do all of those things thanks to my friend Jane Porter and her big sky belief that as writers, we can and should imagine our way into anything. 

That was how my quirky little book became not only my first cowboy book—but the very first book ever published by Jane’s then brand-new act of imagination (and hard work): Tule Publishing.

Ten years later, it’s an absolute joy to return to the town we made up on a joyful writing retreat earlier that year: Marietta, Montana. It was a delight to pull together two of the families I wrote about in and around that town over the years and tie up some emotional loose ends, too. 

And I hope that TEMPT ME PLEASE, COWBOY reads as what it is: a love letter to big sky dreams ten years ago, and all that dreaming since, in the form of a smoking hot cowboy who knows exactly what he wants—and how to go about getting it, too. 

Swipe if you want to see that very first cover… 👀

(I’ll be in the Tule Book Club on Facebook later today if you want to come say hello!)
I haven’t seen this portrait since I was last in I haven’t seen this portrait since I was last in my grandparents’ gracefully rambling book and art-filled house in Princeton, NJ, too many years ago now to count. 

This is my gorgeous, fascinating, self-contained grandmother in 1943. My grandfather was off fighting in the Pacific. This was painted at her mother’s house in Delaware where she stayed while he was at war. My mom would still have been a baby then. I wish I could whisper through the painting, through time, that they’re all going to be okay.

The artist, Sue May Gill, was a member of the Philadelphia Ten and—if you read between the lines of her anodyne Wikipedia entry—lived an interesting life. But then, so did my marvelous grandmother, so I like to imagine that they liked each other. I think they must have, because this portrait hung in my grandmother’s house until she died. 

I’m so lucky that I’m named for her, so that this painting came to me, courtesy of my wildly generous Aunt Megan. I promise I will take my duties as the last of the Margarets (so far!) seriously and care for her—the way she cared for all of us all her life.

Love you, Gram. I’ve missed you terribly. I hope you like it here.
