The Latest from Heidi

Memorial Day ‘Tasty’ Treat

With the picnic-friendly holiday like Memorial Day, here is a recipe that I found in a Let’s Eat Outdoors pamphlet (from the late 1950s/early 1960s — I think). The recipes are from a range of food companies but, of course, I couldn’t resist the Spam recipes. So how about some Spam-aroni!

SPAM-ARONI PICNIC SALAD

Combine 3 cups chilled cooked macaroni, 1 can Spam, cubed, 1/2 lb. American or Cheddar cheese, cubed, 1 cup chopped celery, 2 tbsp. minced onion. Toss together with dairy sour cream. 6 to 8 servings.

2nd Place in Readers’ Choice Award

My first “win” — The Surgeon and the Cowgirl (Angel Crossing, Arizona, Book 1) was awarded second place in the Readers’ Choice Awards from the New England Chapter of the Romance Writers of America. 

When I got cake last year for release of my first book, I knew it would be a year of firsts!

Happy Release Day to Me

THE ACCIDENTAL COWBOY is out in the wide world today  😆 This story of a Cowboy in a Kilt taking orders from a former junior champion bronc rider caused me seemingly no end to troubles while I was writing it but now…oh, my, I’m so happy with the humor and the four-legged sidekicks.

Fill-in-the-blank press release @IWSG

Today (Aug. 10) I’m talking Press Releases. In one of my former lives, I was a PR flunky and learned how to quickly, efficiently, and effectively write releases. I reveal my deep dark secret over at the Insecure Writer’s Support Group (isn’t that something we all need). Check it out and ask questions!

The Convenient Cowboy Tells Spence’s Story

The Convenient Cowboy is on sale now and tells the story of attorney Spencer MacCormack, brother of surgeon Payson featured in Book #1 The Surgeon and The Cowgirl. For Spence, getting for custody of his son is all he wants, which is why he’s willing to enter into a modern marriage of convenience with Olympia James. This cowgirl, who is focused on becoming a first-time barrel racer, agrees to the arrangement to get the money for her sister’s tuition. What neither of them expected was their one-night stand months ago (at Payson’s wedding) would result in a baby. Now the marriage might be more real than either expected or wanted.
