Book Blurb Friday

Lovely here today, but spring is like a petulant toddler leaving her favorite store. She will come for sure only when she is truly ready. In the meantime, Blogger tells me I have lost a follower. That is understandable as there is nothing profound on my blog, but then again, I wish I could be sure there was nothing offensive here either. I would hope that if there ever is anything offending, the reader would say so for a correction or maybe an explanation. I know I can not read every blog every day myself. Maybe a follower just had to “sort and weed” her blog list, but I’ll never know.


So, over at Lisa’s blog there is a new activity as Book Blog Friday started today. She will post a picture and in 150 words or less, readers should write a blog for an imaginary new book from the picture. I think this first picture is a hard one (see at left), and what I wrote is pretty trite. However, I wanted to participate and this was best I could do now, hoping I can get into the swing and do better as time goes along. If you want to participate, please visit Lisa at: http://www.writinginthebuff.net/2011/03/book-blurb-friday-1.html



Eye on the Prairie


Successful attorney Samantha Jiles suspected she could be the best cattle rancher in Western Kansas, and when Grandpa Nelson left her prime acres, she finally had a chance to prove it. Sam missed open prairies, wind in her hair instead of soot in her eyes, and she now could go home to sniff real money in cattle.


At the same time, Arch Dunlop of the Double D was gearing up to unseat her dreams. He knew a gal in Jimmy Choos was no match for him and son Darren when it came to ranching, even though she was of Kansas stock. The Double D wanted that Flint Hill pasture for grazing more cattle making them the biggest outfit in Chase County. They just had to convince Miss New York City to sell out.


Would Sam lose her ranch, her heart to the cowboy son, or both?
