So, here's a funny story.
Well, not so much funny funny. More like funny ironic.
My husband's volunteer fire department has started their yearly softball games.
As an awesome wife, and glutton for punishment, I attend all these games dragging our son with us. Don't let him fool you, he loves to go and run around berserk with the other spawn ... I mean kids.
I always bring my notebook(s) to these games. Technically, I bring one with me everywhere I go these days.
Normally, I would run out of conversation with the people in the stands about three minutes in. Usually, right after, "Hey, how are you today?"
Then, I would just bury my nose in my notebook.
Now, the people in the stands know that I've written one book and they want to know more about it or more about the next book. They have all these questions and they want ... talk.
It's so hard.
I'm not completely anti-social. And, I know all these people, most of them for years. But, they didn't think I was very interesting before.
I'm still not very interesting. Hence, why I write about stuff much more interesting than my actual life.
But, having one book published, one they could read and some even held in their hands, makes me different, I guess.
What I'm getting at is ... the one thing I always did, because I don't do well socially with others, is now making me have to be more social with others.
Weird.
And, that's today's lesson, kids.

Sometimes a single choice
alters the course of a person's life
forever.
Left behind by everyone
she loves...
Rebecca Garvey had the promise of a
California future dreams are made of, until the wagon train her family was
traveling with left her behind. Now she’s slowly dying in the wilderness,
abandoned and stripped of her self-worth. Once the shock of her desertion turns
to embittered despair, she doesn’t want to be found. Then a handsome stranger
challenges her convictions and changes her mind.
Headed for
Texas, chased by the demons of his past...
Seth Emerson knows exactly what he
wants. Working to save for a cattle ranch of his own keeps him busy and keeps
his pain buried. Rescuing a stubborn woman from the hills of New Mexico Territory
isn’t part of his plan—but she’s exactly what he needs.
Making greater
sacrifices than either of them could foresee...
Seth and Rebecca set off on a risky
journey and a quest for truth, each healing the other’s love-starved soul along
the way. Will they give in to their growing attraction? Or will they honor their commitments when
Seth returns Rebecca to civilization... and her betrothed?
