Into the Sunset

I’m off to Las Vegas tomorrow to speak to the attendees at the Single Action Shooters Society Convention at the Riviera Hotel. The topic of speech is 10 Loves Lessons Learned by Women of the Old West. I’m looking forward to being surrounded by people who love the Old West. I need the distraction at this time too. The holidays are wonderful, but I can’t help but think a little more about my brother and his situation. The injustice that was done to him and the sadness that continues on is overwhelming. I’ve been praying for years that things would change, but it seems to just get worse. The unanswered prayers and lack of hope have left me empty and more bitter than I ever thought possible. I feel like I’m drowning and the only thing keeping me afloat are the books I’m working on about the people who ventured over the plains to parts unknown. Wish I had a horse and thousands of miles to ride – I’d grab a hunk of mane, sink some spur, and hurry off into the sunset.
