Hi Dear Reader,
How are you doing? I hope your June is going great. I can’t
believe that it is already the 12th.
My Big News!
June marks my third year anniversary of being an author. I
am going to be doing a drawing to give away 2 signed paperbacks of Falling
for my Cowboy. To enter the drawing, answer the following question:
What has been your favorite book to read so far this
year?
You can email me at alliebock@hotmail.com.
The drawing is open until June 26th. Good luck!
Life News
The other weekend, the Minnesota Cutting Horse Association
held their show at our county fairgrounds. Hubby and I took Baby Bock. It was a
lot of fun. She enjoyed the horses, cows, and tractors.
At the event, a herd of young, about a year old, cattle were
brought into a small arena. One at a time, the competitor would ride the horse
in the arena. The rider would pick out the cow that might be the best match for
the horses. Then, the team would “cut” or move the cow away from the herd. Now,
cows are herd animals and always want to be with the rest of its friends. This
is when the exciting part would start. The cow would duck and dive to try to
get passed the horse. The horse would match the cows moves. The horse leaped
forward, slid to a stop, spin around on its hindquarters, and stare down the
cow. The competitor would sit against the back of the saddle, letting the horse
work. They were done if the buzzer sounded, if the cow got around the horse to
the herd, or if the cow stopped. It was fun to watch the riders that were in
tuned with their horses. I might have to one of my characters be into showing
horses. 😉
Writing update:
I am almost done with My Cowboy of Convenience. I have a few
more edits and then to run it through a grammar checker. It has been so fun to
share the journey with you and I appreciate all the feedback. Don’t worry. I’ll
still keep posting chapters on my Substack.
