Blog postLife is full of ups and downs, good times and bad, laughter and tears. Today as much as any reflects that diversity. Before I start today’s official blog post, I want to pass on two bits of news, one happy, one oh, so sad.
Let’s start with the sad, so that the laughter can lift us up afterward. If you read my previous post When Fact Meets Fiction, you know that young Brittany Maynard, a vivacious young woman dying from brain cancer, planned to take her own life via prescribed let6 years ago Read more -
Blog postOnce in a while when I’m writing a book or shortly after, something in real life happens that makes me wonder if the creation of that book wasn’t somehow predestined. As if when I was writing I was receiving some sort of message from the universe about what was soon to occur. Now, I don’t claim to be psychic. But I do believe there are energies at play around us that we don’t understand. Sometimes these lead to the cases where fact meets fiction.

Blog postGirls I’ve told you all how obsessed I was with horses as a girl–I still have a few of my Breyer model horses and other statues. Some girls played with dolls; I played with toy horses. The song “Girls & Horses,” which I love, pretty much sums up my love of horses. You can listen to it (legally) on Templeton’s website. If there’s a horse crazy girl or woman in your family, go buy it. Heck, buy the whole album (also titled Girls & Horses). It’s full of great horsey songs.

Blog postIn my previous post I shared the inspiration behind my new Mustang Wild series. Today I’m going a level deeper and delving into what motivated the debut story in the series, “Cowboys Don’t Cry” (in the Cowboy Up anthology). But first, I just have to post this picture of my wascally little feller Mo. Just because he’s the cutest thing ever.
Okay, now that you’ve met Mo, on with the story of the story. I knew I wanted to write about the American West, with the wild mustangs as a backdro6 years ago Read more -
Blog postOne of the most common questions writers are asked is “Where do you get your ideas?” So since I just kicked off my new western contemporary series Mustang Wild! yesterday with the release of “Cowboys Don’t Cry” as part of the Cowboy Up boxed set, I’d thought I’d clear the mystery of my inspiration right off the bat.
First off, you should know I’ve loved horses all of my life. When I was a kid without a horse of my own, I used to ride my bike for miles to get to a pasture where two of6 years ago Read more -
Blog postAfter an extended absence from writing during which I was developing my editing and formatting business, I am back with new fiction!

Books two and three in the series will be launched in October and December respectively.

Blog postSo I’ve had several questions about where I’ve been and why I’ve been so quiet the last few months. Don’t worry…everything is fine! Just a lot going on.
Almost two years ago, when I saw the surge in authors self-publishing and became intrigued with the possibilities myself, I realized there was going to be a huge need for editing and publishing services to help these books compete with the “big six” traditionally published works. I’d been working with developing authors for years8 years ago Read more -
Blog postWow, I’ve been AWOL for a long time! Here’s a drive-by post on my latest culinary adventures: no-meat loaf. Yes, it’s a vegetarian meatloaf. Turned out pretty darned yummy if I do say so! Even better the next day as leftovers.

Blog postWe’ve definitely hit the dog days of summer here on the farm, with temperatures over 100 degrees every day. And to celebrate, there’s a new dog in residence. Meet Amber, my new foster! Sorry about the bad red phone pic. Don’t know why it does that when I take pics inside.
Amber is a five-month-old yellow lab pup. She was about to be euthanized at a local shelter because she had a minor URI (upper respiratory infection). Nothing serious at all…and yet it almost cost her life.&nbs9 years ago Read more

Cowboys Don't Cry (Mustang Wild Book 1)
May 22, 2018
$2.99
A broken cowboy with nothing left to lose...except his heart.
Dash Connaway is hell-bent down a highway to nowhere, but he can't outrun fate. Just a few months ago, he'd had a new album shooting up the country music charts, a luxury tour bus prepped for gigs in 39 cities, and a live-in girl friend he'd been thinking of asking to marry him. Now he's just another drifter with an old guitar, a beat-up pickup, and a dog named Bill for a bed mate...until he meets Maggie McCain.
Maggie isn't your ordinary Oregon rancher. She's more into organic gardening and hand-spinning yarn from the fleece of her prized alpacas than breeding stinky old cattle. She's a nurturer, a giver, so when Dash steps into her life out of the blue, she's ready to trade in her solitary existence on the farm in favor of a husband to grow old with and a passel of children to care for.
But when she learns the real reason for Dash's nomad ways, she's faced with a difficult choice and a lesson in the fallacy behind the old saying "Cowboys don't cry."
You'll want to clean off some space on your virtual bookshelf, because this gut-wrenching new tale from USA TODAY bestselling author Vickie Taylor is a keeper!
Contemporary Western Romance Novella (approximately 100 pages).

Explore the light and the dark sides of faith through two short stories by national bestselling author Vickie Taylor...
Faces in the Dark
Who knows what drives a man to madness? For Fred Tucker, it may be the simple random firing of overactive photoreceptor cells in his eyes—or his blind faith that nothing in this world is random. When Fred lies down to sleep, he sees faces. People he comes to believe are in danger. His descent into his own personal hell begins when he becomes obsessed with finding the people behind these faces, believing he must save them. And ends when he does find one, and accepts that he is no one’s savior, but something far more sinister.
Angel on My Shoulder
Seven-year-old Bethany’s secret wish is to be an angel in heaven. Her best friend Corey just wants to be like Bethany. Sadly, they may both get what they want.
