Bill...it appears I never responded to you. My apologies! I will certainly be keeping all linformed via this site, and otherwise of "what is in the hopper". With a bit of luck should have some fun new blogs up this week for all to enjoy, also.  Thanks for visiting!

ahhhhhhh.....co-authoring. rewarding, interesting, exasperating, frustrating, motivating all rolled into one. But having a back and forth editorial process built in at inception is quite valuable, and the whole process, while certainly more time consuming (and assuming the co-authors do not have a breakdown in the process) should result in an extraordinary finished work. thanks Topaz.

Well I look forward to the romance novels. Is it difficult to co-author a book? I'm writing my own and can't imagine having to coordinate schedules, share ideas and be a slave to anothers time frame.

Hi Topaz. That all depends on the publisher and getting the writing done on my side of the fence as the author (which I am rightfully getting bugged about weekly--smile). I am thinking that the first two books will not be too awfully far apart. The very first "publication" however, should be 2010 calendars featuring some of my landscape and rainbow pictures shot over three decades at wild, remote and beautiful locations on the ranches and around the Rockies. The pics will be accompanied by some great musings from one of the west\'s most preeminent authors. With a bit of luck, some of those photos will be available on this site shortly.

thank you denise and gayle for your comments. much appreciated. While I have had short story, some poetry, and host of editorial/op-ed materials published, the first books are right now in the brew, so to speak. In answer to the second part of the query, several are about land, ranching, improvement and preservation. The how to, and the why from my unique experience and perspective assembled and written in a manner not attempted before. The others are fiction. The bow of that ship is a contemporary western romance trilogy with a great co-author. It is all great fun. I think (admitting some bias of course, he said with a big grin) the work that is evolving on the non fiction side will be a very interesting mix of very useful pragmatic information, humor, and story. And with that same bias, the first of the novels will blend steamy romance with intriguing plot several levels above the "typical" protagonist/antagonist/interesting female love interest story lines we are all familiar with. thanks, and the best to you! Reid

As an author I appreciate writing with a deep connection to the land. I look forward to keeping track. Let us know what's in the hopper.

Just stumbled upon your site, great photo and looking forward to the book. Will stay in touch.

It's an interesting combination, ranching/author. Do you have any books published yet? And if so are they about land, or do you write fiction?
