Regarding the weekend, we had fabulously sunny (if cold) weather both days, and Bernice and I made the best of it. Even though she’ll be 15 on April 14, this dog loves to go for walks–loves to go anywhere, for that matter. She’s a peppy little dickens, for sure. Anyway, we did some exploring and some hanging out in the barn–her favorite place to visit.
Yesterday, the family celebrated our boy Lucas’s 8th birthday–hard to believe he’s that old already. Five minutes ago, it seems to me, he was a baby. Lucas is smart, funny, and affectionate–and, yes, as his great-aunt, I’m prejudiced. We all enjoyed barbecued hamburgers, the usual accompaniments, and a lot of laughter–though I did skip the birthday cake. (Wednesday’s weigh-in is coming up fast, and last week’s number was sobering.)
Mondays. I love them. Mostly.
Comment
I always look forward to your blogs. It’s like hearing from a friend. I’m reading a number of your novels from 12-15 years ago. I usually read 2 – 3 of your books a week and I love them all.
Hope you do well at your weigh-in on Wednesday!
Comment
Thr best romance writer ever! I love you linda lael miller. As an equestrian, i truly appreciate your love and knowledge of horses. And, every sexy cowboy you create melts my heart…and does other things to me lol.
Comment
Sounds like a great weekend! We had temps in the 60’s this past weekend! Sure put all of us in better spirits. Get a little grouchy with cloudy and cold all the time. Have a great week!
Comment
Our yorkie is 14 years old and just as peppy as a puppy. It’s hard to believe that she is 14. She weighs only 3 and half pounds but she’s ready to take on the world each morning. Her job is to keep the squirrels, cats and whatever out of the backyard. She takes her job very seriously!
Comment
Happy Birthday to Lucas. So glad you had a good weekend. Hope your week is just as good.
Comment
I enjoy listening to your books while I knit or work on my counted cross stitch.

Love your books and hearing more about you personally in the blog. I have a lab who I still call a puppy though she’s almost 6 she still chews everything. We’ve yet to find a bed she can’t or won’t destroy. She even got my brand new dress for Easter right through the bag.

Today feels like spring in NJ. I am so happy!!!

Comment
The time change killed me yesterday. It has been cold and rainy in Austin, Texas, really looking forward to the 70s that it should be toward the end of the week. Our dogs hate this weather the backyard is flooded and no walks.
Comment
Glad you had a good weekend. We had a awesome one here in IA. We had our 7th annual Heart party for my mom (who is also a fan). We celebrate every year around the time she had her quadruple bypass surgery.
Comment
I’m new to reading blogs but have been reading your books for a few years now……love them!!
Comment
Yes nice weather for a change, I just got back from a walk myself it is in the 50’s here today, I can’t believe it after all the snow we have had for the last two weeks. Now we have rain coming in tomorrow and everything is flooded already from all the snow and rain. May be swimming on my walks later in the week.
Comment
I love your books. My favorites are the ones involving the McKettricks. I never want them to end because I feel like part of the story.
Comment
Congrats ladies on your win, Enjoy!! Bernice sounds like a wonderful pet, and it is so strange how we can get so attached to them. Happy Birthday to Lucas also.
Comment
I live in Iowa and the temps are finally getting into the mid 50, i do not expect summer warmth but any thing is better than the – degree crap we have been having for way too long. Keep writing those wonderful books you write. Thank you.

Sounds like you had a good weekend. Where I am the weather is turning warmer. By that I mean it went from freezing to the 40s. It is sunny and that is what counts. When does your next book come out?
Comment
Congrats to the winners. Thanks for sharing your days Linda. I’m so happy here in Jersey. The weather is gorgeous and a reminder that we have beautiful days ahead.

Comment
I have read many famous authors! You are the absolutely TheBest!!! When i read your books, i absolutely cannot put them down! You are certainly the best! I like Joan Johnston with those cowboy books too. Recently i started reading and i started singing the words! What’s up with that? Told my doctor today, since i had a stroke two years ago. Now she looked at me and said are you still seeing your psychiatrist. Go figure! Darn! I need a new book. Doctors are taking my book money! God Bless you on your weight! Going to pet my poor rescued puppies! Oh wait! They are richer than me now! Love my doggie baby’s!

Comment
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Lucas!!!
Congratulations to Regina Merchant and Cheryl Verkon!
Linda, I’m proud of you for not eating any cake. If I’d been there, I’d have eaten your slice for you. I eat too many sweets, and wish I knew how to stop.
Have a good and Godly week ahead!

Comment
Thanks for sharing. Family gatherings are the best . Hope you have a good weigh in
Comment
This weekend was beautiful and we had a eventful Saturday rushing my mother’s dog Molly to the vet. Apparently she’d eaten something during her walk and it caused her some breathing issues and anxiety. She is much better today and it going back to the vet for follow-up. I am feeling very blessed and thankful for our on call vet.
Comment
I agree any kind of family get together is Great. Sounds like you had a GREAT weekend.;) wish i could say the same. :(. The weather was FANTASTIC. Sunny high 70’s and into the 80’s. To bad i had to work :(. Going in at 12 noon and not getting home till 9-10. I missed it all. But I’ll enjoy the rest of the week.
Hope you have a fantastic week

Comment
i enjoyed the weekend riding my horse w hubby and good friendi just finished up two McKetrick books☺️
Comment
they are her best series!
Comment
Oh Linda! Bernice sounds like *such* fun to have in your life! I used to have pets all the time, but haven’t been able to, since the car accident which disabled me.
My BFF, though, has a great little dog named Sparky, and the enjoyment she gets from that little fella spills over into MY life. Every time we “speak” I get all the gen on his latest goings-on.
You sure open up your life to all kinds of possibilities, when you open your heart to a pet!
Have a wonderful day!
Comment
Just finished “Marriage Charm” and loved the ending! Thanks for being Linda!!
Comment
I just finished reading All is Bright by Katherine Spencer & started Dogwood Hill by Sherryl Woods. I’m loving the weather in the high 40’s & extended forecast for the next 10 days is 40’s & 50’s.

Mondays are too bad. Today the weather in Iowa was really nice we reached a high of 52 and sunny. Same forecast for the next few days, but as the saying goes “wait 5 minutes and the weather will change!” My father used to make this comment all the time.
The best part of today was that I recieved my book to hopefully after work I can start reading it,can’t wait! Linda I wanted to thank you again for giving your readers a the chance to win the drawing, and the fact that I actually won. Til next time good luck with your weigh in and keep writing those wonderful books we all look forward to reading. Connie
Comment
I LOVE your book, and read anything you write. I’d read your grocery list if you posted it! LOL :). I have 2 labs, 7 & 9. they love the snow, which is good since we got “feet” of it. I just wish now these “feet” would run away. I have a turkey call business, so I have spent the past few days shipping, selling, listing, revising turkey calls. Oh, inbetween all of this, I shoveled ice, chipped ice, and generally pounded on ice. So hope that spring comes soon, but then, all the ice will seep thru the eaves and soak my ceilings. Well, such wonderful things to look forward to!!!
The nice thing, is the sun has shown the last couple days, I’ve had rainbows in my rooms from my prisms, and I am at peace with the world. Hugs to you, thanks for the writing.
Comment
Hi Linda,
Love your books. My weekend was a relax one just reading and eating :).
Have a great week.
Comment
Kids grow up so fast! My great niece, Treonna, is going to be 11 in June and it seems like she was just a baby the other day!
Comment
Had cataract surgery this morning. Can’t wait for the fog to clear so I can get back to my Miller books!
Comment
You are absolutely the best writer I have ever had the privilege of reading. When a writer can make me feel as though I am right there with the characters well…there is nothing better and I thank you for the privilege of reading your remarkable western romance stories.
Comment
most all gatherings with family is fun . some folks have wall to wall carpeting, when we all get together it’s wall to wall people. our great grand daughter has a horse named Storm, & is learning to barrel race . I think that she would live in the barn with that horse if she could . waiting for the latest book in the marriage series , HAPPY EASTER to you & yours , Linda …

We were 76 and sunny for the last couple days headed to the 80’s this week in southeast GA
Comment
Spent the weekend reading. It was sunny but still cold in northern Michigan.
Comment
I took my oldest grandson to lunch and shopping for his birthday on Sat. Had a great time. He’s turning 16 and still likes to hang with grandma occasionally.
Comment
Bernice sounds like a wonderful companion. My parents bought a puppy around the time I was born. It was a black lab with white paws, they named him Sugarfoot. We grew up together, he died when I was in my freshman year of Junior College. We love our pets!!
I love reading your books. I finsihed Marriage Charm and I am ready for the next one! Between your books I like to read Diana Palmer and BJ Daniels. I just found another author, Laura Moore. I am currently reading one of her books.
Waiting with baited breath for your book to be made into a movie. I really would love for that to happen.
Have a great day!!
Comment

Comment
Happy Birthday Lucas. I mainly stayed in because it was extremely cold but now it is starting to warm up.
Comment
Love your books. and enjoying reading about your family. Family gatherings are the best. We had a good weekend too. Went to see the new Kevin Costner movie, it was good. A lot of young kids were there and clapped at the end. It was very warm here in CA, in the 80’s, feel bad for everyone having such bad weather all the other places. But with Spring almost here, it will be better for all.
Comment
Glad I wasn’t the only one to have a happy Monday. Mine, because there is evidence that spring is coming soon! The day was filled with sunshine and melting snow/ice.
Hope you have a great week!
Comment
This weekend I spent going thru pictures to put in a memory book for my mom for her memorial in May. It was interesting going down memory lane clear back to her childhood!
Comment
I have read so many of your books you are an amazing author!
Comment
Kids, dogs and horses. Does life get any better than that? Our Dalmation and yellow lab, loves their daily walks. On the flip side, my six grandchildren (ages 1 – 9) keep me hopping. Luckily, living in sunny CA gives us the opportunity to be outside a big part of the year. I spent the weekend running around after the grandkids, as they played in the sprinklers. Nothing better than family time!
Comment
We had beautiful weather in Florida today. I hope everyone’s weather improves.
Goodluck on your weight in.
I love your books and would love to win an autographed copy. Thanks for the giveaway
Comment
Will you ever write another story with Mojo. I really enjoyed those so much, I enjoy all your books. I have been reading you for quite some years now and you never disappoint.
Comment
I am also a Great Aunt, Linda, but my official name is Grand Aunt Diane, and I love it! It makes me feel like I’m royalty when I hear it. My girls are Aubree Grace (named after me as Grace is my middle name) who is 3 years old and all girl! Then there’s 11 month old Kaylin Rose who is the prettiest rose I’ve ever seen! My 90 year old father calls his Great Granddaughters Gracie and Rosie; he is a hoot! Now I want to be a Grandmother! Have a great week!
Comment
fun weekend
Comment
Congrats to the winner’s, have my fingers crossed for next week. Still can’t wait for the next Charm book! Good luck on your next weigh in!
Comment
You are my favorite writer!
Comment
It was such a lovely weekend here in Mead! We had my sweet older dog out running in the yard with the younger dogs and she ended up a little lame. Poor old girl has arthritis, as she did when I rescued her a few years ago, and although she gets her vitamins and glucosomine daily, she is having such trouble this year. I am so thankful the weather hasn’t been more severe as I shudder to think of what a harsh winter would have done to her comfort and abilility to get around easily. I have seen so many signs that she is taking a turn and I am treasuring each day we have with our sweet Lucy as I don’t know how many we may have left. I am excited for warmer weather as she loves to sunbathe and let the sun soak into her aching bones!
Comment
Weekends with family are the best!
Comment

Think my great nephew is about that same age. Love the kiddos. I can remember a trip to zoo with Cohen, before Bailey came along he was petting & feeding animals. Got to where you could feed the giraffes, that was funny. That long tongue come out to got that treat he wasn’t holding it any longer, we would put our hand under his not making him feed them that tongue would come out, we were feeding them. Haven’t asked his mom but think he’s over that. I’m proud of him & his siater. Have two great nieces I have yet to meet, though I’m glad I get pics & there is face book. Haven’t been on facebook in awhile.

Comment
I have yet to read the ‘Marriage Charm’ but am looking forward to continuing the story! Weekends with family are always so enjoyable, especially if you haven’t seen one another in awhile. The weather is warmer here in Wisconsin this last weekend too, which is a BIG relief from the cold and snow. Spring cannot get here soon enough.
Comment
Hi all just a short note to hope y’all are doing good and enjoy the books. I love reading them.
Bye for now, talk with you later
Comment
My sister had to work so I was on my own. I made oatmeal cookies and beef and vegetable soup. Made enough cookies to send in with my sister for her coworkers. Did some reading and some embroidery both favorite hobbies. I retired a year ago and am thinking of what to do next now that I have been retired for awhile? The winter has been so harsh in upstate NY this year, as it has in many places. I can’t wait to be able to get put in the garden!
Comment
Babies are awesome and grow so quickly.
Comment
Weather was amazing here today. Went to 86 so too good to stay inside. Lots of yard work and even got the dead grass raked from the lawn and first grass cutting done. Then sprinklers out. Trying to get a head start this year, since today was so pretty.
Enjoy your books. Thanks for the contest.

Comment
Last week was spring break. I re-read TATE, GARRETT, and AUSTIN on Monday. If only I could write as fast as I read!
I spent more time with my nose (and my heart) buried in your books this week than I did doing any thing else.
So, thank you for a fabulous spring break. I was in Texas with the McKettricks, Arizona with a McKettrick and a famous singer. I was in Parable and in Stone Creek, Montana. I even managed a side trip to Primrose Creek. You took me everywhere!
Blessings,
Lorelei
