Please welcome my special guest, the lovely Cindy Christiansen.
I grew up on a farm and every summer my mom, sister and I would take trips to the library. I hated those trips! I never could pick out a book. My sister would busily pick out dozens of books and not know which ones to put back, but I always looked and studied and looked some more, hoping to find that perfect book that would take me on a wonderful journey.
After my mother and sister picked out their items, they would stand around waiting for me to pick out my selection. Finally, the librarian would sternly come up and slap a book in my hand, saying, “Here, read this!” We’d finally be on our way home.
One day it happened to be – Sue Barton, Student Nurse by Helen Dore Boylston. It was a very old book, copyrighted in 1936. I began reading it and fell in love with the book and the characters. When I was done, I yearned for more. Lucky for me it was a series. There were six more books – Senior Nurse, Visiting Nurse, Rural Nurse, Superintendent of Nurses, Neighborhood Nurse and Staff Nurse. It went through Sue’s whole life including her romance and marriage. I was sad when the series ended and so was my mom, sister and the librarian. The whole fear of picking out a book started all over again. (lol)
If you have trouble picking out a book or an author, consider my short novella – Stolen Horses, Stolen Hearts. For only 99 cents you can find out whether you like my writing style. Here’s more about it:
Stolen Horses, Stolen Hearts
Storyline: Ambitious former rodeo queen Harlee Jo Holiday must fix Oak Whitlock’s broken heart if she’s ever going to get him to help rescue her stolen horses. The only trouble is even Oak’s dog and horse can’t stand to be around him.
Brooding Oak Whitlock can’t get his life on track. That is, until Harlee Jo comes riding in with her hopes and dreams. Between her and her stolen horses, will Oak learn you have to climb right back in the saddle?

People love your Nurse Barton reminder. Thanks for being here today, Cindy!
And there I thought I was the only Nurse Barton fan. (lol) Thanks, Flossie.
Yep. I remember Nurse Barton, Thanks for reminding me
I got your book “Love on Laird Avenue” in the mail. Whoo hoo! Excited to start reading it!
Wonderful, Amy! Thank you so much!
I LOVED Sue Barton! I only had the 1st one, but would love to read more:) My mom had almost the entire Cherry Ames series, and I devoured those, along with three Vicki Barr books and two or three Dana Girls mysteries:)
Now why didn’t the librarians point those out! (lol)
Loved the story! I was one of those who always went home with at least a dozen books and then holed up in my room for a s long as my mom would let me. Literary escapism at it’s best. Your trailer is great.
