recovering from a frightening time in the hospital. Since Laurean has to be
Florence Nightingale for a while, I’m filling in for her this month.

| I'M HAVING A SALE! |
As well as being an author, I’m also an
avid reader. I love to find bargains on books from authors I enjoy. I’m a
Virgo, but my youngest daughter and I tease that we were born under the Sale
sign.
If you love bargains, let me tell you
about some great ones I’m offering this week.
Originating for St. Patrick’s Day but
lasting through the 21st is a sale for three books with an Irish
heroine and each is on sale for 99 cents. Two are western historicals romances.
THE TEXAN’S IRISH BRIDE is set in the
Central Texas.hill country. This book is also book one of the McClintock
series. Dallas McClintock is a man of honor trapped into wedding a beautiful
Irish woman. Cenora O’Neill knows marrying Dallas is unfair, but she’ll do
anything to protect her family and to save herself from marrying the brutal man
who leads the Travelers. Buy this one at http://mybook.to/Cenora
THE RANCHER AND THE SHEPHERDESS is book
two in the Loving A Rancher series. Mail-order bride Gormlaith McGowan arrived in
Montana to find the man who’d sent for her had died. Garrett McDonald had no
intention of getting a wife when he went to Cottonwood Springs for supplies but
the sheriff convinced him to accept the young widow as his wife. This one is http://mybook.to/Gormlaith
The third is a contemporary time travel,
OUT OF THE BLUE, a romance with suspense. Deirdre Dougherty runs from a mob in
1845 Ireland, jumps from a cliff into the ocean, and lands in a Texas lake over
170 years later. While adjusting to her new life, she helps Detective Brendan
Hunter unravel the mystery of who’s framing him for murder. This one is at http://mybook.to/Deirdre

Happy Reading! Now for the recipe:
(my mother-in-law made this with seared ground beef instead of stew meat.)
SCOTT-IRISH STEW
My mom prepared a lot of dishes handed down in her family.
One we enjoy is her version of stew. This works well in a slow cooker or instant pot, but usually we use the old-fashioned range-top pan.
1 or 2 lbs. stew meat cut in smaller chunks (the amount of meat depends
on your pocket book)
1 can (15 oz.) of diced tomatoes with juice
4 or 5 carrots, sliced in rounds
2 potatoes, cut in chunks
1 small onion, diced
Pinch of salt
Bit of pepper
½ teaspoon chili powder or more to taste (we use more)
Optional: 1 can whole kernel corn.
Add about two quarts of water to a large pan then add stew
meat. (Some people sear the meat first, but Mother did not so I don’t.) Add other
ingredients and bring to a boil. Cover and lower heat. Simmer for about an
hour. Add more water if needed. Stir occasionally to insure meat does not stick to the
bottom of the pan. I add parsley flakes about five minutes before taking off the stove. Freezes well, reheats well. We prefer a lot of thick soup, so I simmer it a bit longer than necessary.
Serve with cornbread muffins or the bread recipe Josie Riviera will post on the 22nd..

I just purchased "The Rancher and the Shepherdess." I'm love your historical covers which are so well done. You are one busy lady!
