As much as I want to outline the first few books I'm going to be working on this fall, I really don't want to be down in the smoke and heat. I want to escape for the mountains where it's slightly cooler and not nearly as smokey for the rest of the summer just to fish, hike, take pictures, and relax.
But, sadly, like all other adults, I have to work. But I plan on escaping to do some fishing for the next couple of weekends. In unrelated book news, Timber, my yellow lab, had a surgery this past week to remove a benign tumor from her cheek. She's doing great, acting like her usual happy-go-lucky self even if she has to wear the cone of shame until the middle of next week. I don't have much else to share for the week. Have a great one! x Brooke

I'm feeling this raccoon today. It's been a week since I wrapped up the drafts for my 2025 books and thought I'd be through at least two outlines by now. And I've got nothing right now. I've played Minecraft with my kids, speed walk/jogged a 5k, and itching to be up on the mountain for a break from this heat while also inhaling too much smoke. Wyoming and Montana are burning up this year. I knew it would be bad thanks to our lack of snow, don't let our late season snowfall fool you, it didn't stick, but I didn't think it would hit in July. More like August. Maybe this means our August and September will be cooler?
This week, I'm going to do my best to focus on getting at least one outline complete. Banks needs a book after all, right? But, we will see. Timber has surgery later this week to have a benign tumor removed from her cheek. Pray for my sweet girl. I know she's in the best of hands and will be okay, but I still worry. (Not to mention the bill.) But mainly how she will be. She's young and healthy enough it should be a simple procedure. That's all for me this week. Have a great one and read an awesome book! x Brooke This week is the Sheridan WYO Rodeo week, so I thought what better way to celebrate than putting my series inspired by the rodeo up for sale! Each day this week, for only a single day each, one of my six cowboy books will be on sale! All you have to do is click the teaser and set reminders for yourself because I don't want to keep bothering you throughout the week. We're starting this week with ... ![]() My Cowboy is FREE Monday (7/8) Only! ![]() Faith in My Cowboy is FREE Tuesday (7/9) Only! ![]() Loved by My Cowboy is FREE Wednesday (7/10) Only! ![]() My Cowgirl is Free Thursday (7/11) Only! ![]() She's No Cowgirl is Free Friday (7/12) Only! ![]() My Bronc Riding Cowgirl wraps it up being Free on Saturday (7/13) Only! I'm almost done with my re-writes for all my 2025 releases! This week, I'll wrap up the final one and then get started in outlines for the books I'll be writing once school starts again. I'm hoping to get a few outlines done while also taking a well deserved break from writing to enjoy the rest of the summer with my kids.
This book will be the only one under 300 pages for this coming year. All the others turned out to be a little thicker than even this year. At least I remained consistent. I hope you have a great week and if you celebrate 4th of July, have a safe one! x Brooke ![]() Another week, another book. I'm working on the final book for next year and hey, look at that! I decided to add another book to the series. I won't say which and if you know don't spoil it. The heat has hit Wyoming and I know I don't have as much to complain about as other states, but it's still miserable especially if you're a person like me who likes to turn off the a/c in the evenings and just let a breeze come in. Strangely enough, in a state where the wind always blows, we don't get much of a breeze by my house. I'll be back Friday with all the books I read for the month! Have a great one! x Brooke The headache is finally finished! The third book coming out next year was giving me such a headache for a while I didn't know if I was going to pull through. The rough draft had the beginning of one version of the story and the ending of a different one. I ended up having to re-write the entire beginning and now I'm happy with the story.
This week, aside from figuring things for my teen, I'm diving into another Long Claw Pride story, getting me closer to being done with re-writes for the summer. I don't have much else to share. Have a great week! x Brooke Today is the first day of summer break for my kiddos and it's overcast. Nice and cool which I like, but it isn't for my youngest who wants to have the sprinkler going under the trampoline.
Last week was a whirlwind with coming back for Yellowstone and getting back to school for the final week. Now, I'm back to focusing-ish and getting the third book for next year done. If you didn't see, My Cowboy is available on audiobook now! It's the first and depending on how it goes, I'll continue on with more books. I don't have much else to share with you this week. So, have a great one! x Brooke May is over at the stroke of midnight tonight and I read ten books, more if you split up The Assassin's Blade.
I'm adding an encouragement this month and will from now on. If you don't want to buy from Amazon or even Barnes and Noble, but see a book you'd be interested in, I highly recommend going to your local indie bookstore.

Born Goodreads Amazon Barnes and Noble Wilder: Book 3 in the Brutal Boys of SIN by Leila James Goodreads Amazon Under the Oak Tree: Season 2, Book 5 by Suji Kim Side Note: I absolutely loved this story!

Maas Goodreads Amazon Barnes and Noble I bought mine from my local bookstore This Woman Forever by Jodi Ellen Malpas Goodreads Amazon Barnes and Noble Of Blades and Wings by Eliza Raine Goodreads Amazon Sucker Punch by Alta Hensley Goodreads Amazon And that's all I have for you this month!
