I could re-share on FB and reach hundreds of people who otherwise might not have seen that particular animal. I know of at least 3 animals that I shared that friends/acquaintances of mine actually adopted in other parts of the country where those shelters were located, and one told me she hadn't seen any from OK, but when I began sharing all the shelter animals that needed homes, she visited her local shelter and adopted a dog. That means so much to me. And it just shows that even the smallest thing that doesn't cost a penny can HELP. I try to donate here and there to reputable organizations--there's a small one in Georgia that gets no money from anyone--this lady and her husband try to do it all themselves out of their own pocket. It puts me to shame. I donate there and to MIDDLE MUTTS when I am able to help. But how I wish I could do more!<br />CherylCheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648326883989508055.post-80442961778950622512012-07-24T11:39:21.130-06:002012-07-24T11:39:21.130-06:00KIRSTEN!

I, unfortunate...I do believe in Writer's Block. I, unfortunately, experienced slap dab in the middle of writing a book. It wasn't the lack of ideas or imagination, it was the resistance to putting words on the page. I was just stuck. Finally, I took a class in WB and Procrastination via RWA and found that just setting a timer for 10 minutes to write helped pull me out of my stuck place.<br />I have all your books and the only one left to read is Kane's Promise.

It's impressive, for one thing, and it's also inspiring for anyone who thinks she/he might like to write. I love all your stories, and of course Fire Eyes has always been at the top. Seeing the book cover on the Cactus Rose blog next to mine made me wonder, <br />Who is this Cheryl Pierson?<br />Well, I found out, didn't I! <br />Congratulations on your wonderful success, and good for you for being able to step into the man's world of writing Westerns.

That was really a perfect circle for the story--the GOOD that Shane left in his wake. You just can't beat Shane for a western in my book--in fact, it's on my top 5 list of favorite books PERIOD.

I really could not have asked for better covers, and I'm proud of each and every one of them. My daughter, Jessica, did the cover for Time Plains Drifter. But she had it finished before I ever saw it, and I love the way she positioned everything on there. My covers with The Wild Rose Press--not much input at all--you fill out a sheet and they take it from there. But I've been totally thrilled with every cover I've ever had from them. And the covers I've had with Western Trail Blazer have been AWESOME. Karen M. Nutt has done all my covers and she does a fantastic job.<br />CherylCheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648326883989508055.post-46560320779234420002012-07-24T09:06:30.152-06:002012-07-24T09:06:30.152-06:00I want to be Cheryl when I grow up!
