One year ago today, June 1, Dr. Mary Walker’s Civil War officially launched.

During that year in which Mary Walker found her way into readers’ hands, I worked on another book–about a more well-known scrappy woman, Dale Evans. Right at the tail end of May, I submitted the manuscript of that biography. Here’s what my study looked like on that auspicious day. (I’m especially fond of the flying pink pig.)

As soon as I know more about the timeline for copyedits and proofs, I’ll announce when I’ll start Queen of the West Wednesdays, to introduce you all to this new book. Saddle up, everyone. 2021 is about to get exciting.
