Drumroll please. . . I accept the 2016 A to Z Blog Challenge. It’s my kick in the pants to get this blog off to a high-spirited start. A post every day in April, except Sunday. That’s twenty-six posts, one for every letter in the alphabet. That’s the challenge. Read more about it and the over one thousand bloggers taking part in the fun:
There’s a blog for every taste and still ten days to sign up.
My theme is Women in the 1930s. My characters in THE WINTER LOON live in the turmoil of the Thirties. I’ll be writing about issues affecting women in that era. Women who stepped outside the norm. Cowgirls. Women at university and women working during the Great Depression. Women defying the social expectation that they marry, become housewives and mothers. THE WINTER LOON is about the healing power of love and the barriers two women in love face in their everyday life. My theme will embrace all these issues.
You’re gonna do what?

I randomly picked your blog from the A to Z Challenge Theme Reveal list and so glad that I did!! I am a history geek and love the 30’s. I’m also excited to start following your blog because I’m toying with the idea of writing a historical fiction novel. I’m so glad we met! Looking forward to the challenge!

Very cool theme. Women today don’t often realize how different it is from the 1930’s
