I’d like to thank everyone who came to the book signing at Elodji’s on September 22. It was a beautiful evening, and the tapas and wine bar was an elegant site for an event.

I received a wonderful review from William C. Thomas of New-Plains.com that looks at some of the themes in the book, including that of being an orphan. Mr. Thomas call My Heart Lies Here “engaging, honest, and skillfully told: a pattern of orphans growing and becoming part of a family and community in a new world.”

Beth Shelly of Ranchland News was kind enough to interview me for the September 27 issue. She traces my interest in the Ludlow Massacre and the research that it took to write the book.

Thank you to both Bill and Beth for the publicity!
