(I spend most Sundays in 'special collections' and hit paydirt on one of the women doctors I've been working on last Sunday after closing at 2pm.)

I know there are some who would thrive, but do build a successful 'ranch' with just herself and children...<br /><br />For years her story has fascinated me, I just finally decided to dig deeper and now I want to dig even more.

Someday this woman and I will have a sit down and I'll find out even more about her.

I opted for the pen name, for I have so many other things I do and write under my own name, it just made sense to me. I'll put a blurb in next time. (Smile). Thank you for the kind words about the cover. The background is my photo and Livia made the rest of it look great. I can't thank her enough.<br /><br />I agree about her second husband.

She must have been quite a woman to have married 3 times. Wow. She certainly proves that women can handle anything they take a mind to. She was pretty dang amazing. <br />Terrific article, Doris.

See now this here 'new thing' of toy boys and cougars isn't new at all! Her last guy was over 20 years younger, although she doesn't look like any cougar I've seen!
