That’s right folks, today is my birthday! I am (cough) 49 years old today, One year shy of the big 50.
Just a year ago I would have never dreamed I’d be a published author. This has been the most amazing year of my life.
I have great friends,
Me and Kate Masters
Me and Janet Juengling Snell
A wonderful Family!
Buried in grandchildren
And so many Great achievements this past year: I had 2 books published; I have had my reviews quoted in several books; I have become an editor for Secret Cravings Publishing and met some wonderful authors I now call friends; I went to my first conference as an author and Beverly and I started this blog! What a year!
To celebrate my birthday I am giving YOU a present!
An e-copy of the reader’s choice of my books, Heart of a Soldier, or Roping Love!
Soldier Jameson Hunter faces the battle of his life: winning the heart of Charlotte Mackenzie, widowed mother of a young recruit.
Evan MacKenzie wants to “Be all that he can be” But, his mother, Charlie, Already lost a husband. She is not going to lose her son too. Can the handsome recruiting officer convince her to give both him and the Army a chance?
Ten Years ago love slipped through Chance’s lasso. This time “He was going after her and she didn’t stand a chance, just like a calf in a chute, he was going to rope her with his love and ride back into her life.”
Carrie Stewart is a dedicated horsewoman. She runs a successful breeding and training program. She is a good friend, a good sister and a favorite aunt, but she has been burned by love. Carrie has never gotten over her first love, Chance Ryan. After ten years of absence Chance shows back up in her life. Should she risk her heart again, with the man who left it broken at her feet in the past? Chance has some serious work ahead of him to win back the one woman he could never forget.
For your Chance to win, leave me a comment telling me what great things happened to You this year!

Happy Birthday!! Life can be so wonderful…congrats on your accomplishments this last year and many wishes for a blessed year to come.
Happy Birthday. I just turned 42 in June. Back in February, I published The Fifth Circle and I’m publishing a YA book in October. I’m so happy you were able to realize your dream of becoming a published author. Congrats on your accomplishment. I hope you have another fantastic year ahead of you!
Well First off I want to start by Saying ‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY” I hope you’ve enjoyed it. And the wonderful thing that happened to me this year was I became a Yiayia (that means grandmother in Greek). My Grandson is 9 months old and already knows who will be spoiling him
Oh I have a new nephew to love!
Thanks Tiffanynicole99@yahoo.com
Happy birthday! Hope you had a wonderful day!
Let’s see my sister-in-law who never thought she could get pregnant had a baby this year (beautiful little accident). Went to a different location for vacation this year (and LOVED IT). And 2nd year with a clean mammogram.
Wow, some great things happened to all of us this year. There’s nothing like becoming a grandma! Or having a new baby in the family (and that includes animal babies). Congratulations to you all
Many happy returns!
Hope your birthday was fantastic.I got to go camping and had a great time,didn’t want to come home.My year has been kind of crappy but it has given me more strength then I thought thought I had.It has also shown me who my real friends are.But there is always hope it gets better.
Happy Birthday, Tamara. Wishing you many more. This year, huh? I finished Beyond the Border and am ready to step off the diving board to begin the publishing process. It’s a big step as all of you know. So looking forward to seeing it ‘out there.’
Glad you had a great birthday, Tamara! In my house we are rejoicing the continued good health of my husband. He was hospitalized in December and again eight weeks later in February. Since he has COPD, anytime we visit the hospital it is traumatic. He is finally better from those episodes and back to his same sweet self. Also, my Mom got well from a sciatic nerve attack that lasted three months.Charging around now like she was never sick. Makes life so much sweeter when my loved ones are well.
Happy Birthday! Congratulations on all the good things! So far not many things for this year, but we are where we are God wants us so that is a good thing!
Happy Birthday Tamara. My year hasn’t been good. My grandfather was diagnosed with primary liver cancer and my son almost needed major surgery. Hoping the last half of the year goes better but not really expecting it with my grandpa. Hope you have a great rest of the year.
Happy birthday! Thanks for the great site!
Happy Birthday! Nothing great has happened to me this year, quite the opposite, but I am supposed to be getting married something this year. It was supposed to be tomorrow, but I lost all my income and my fiance’ cannot find a job stable job.
Happy Birthday Girlie!! This Year I Got My First Car, A New Job, And A New Home! 🙂
Happy Happy Birthday! Hope it was wonderful with many more to come:) Hugs!!
Happy Birthday! I’ve had a wonderful year, too. I’ve met a bunch of great people through FB, Twitter, etc, and am very happy with the way my blog has been progressing. My daughters have both had a great year in school and my husband has had success at work. What more could I ask for?
Happy Birthday – I am already there (50) and have to tell you that it is fun and you will enjoy!
Happy Birthday..I’m having a good year..my grandkids moved to the same state as me and now i can see them more often!
The best thing they has happen to me will have to be signing a contract with SCP
