@jenwriter17 That makes two of us. 😉 You might also like Laramie, Wagon Train, and Cheyenne because they are westerns. It’s kind of funny, for the longest time I did not like westerns at all. The only westerns I’d seen were ones like Gunsmoke and I thought all westerns were like that. Then my mom got Bonanza from the library and I was hooked after…[Read more]

@supermonkey42 Don’t feel too bad (this gingerbread house was prebuilt). 🙃 However, a couple years ago I made a gingerbread house from the walls up, and although it turned out okay in the end, I had trouble keeping the roof from caving in. 😂
@dragon-snapper Torturing people is fun (and torturing dragons is even more fun). 😜

@jenwriter17 I like all the shows you mentioned (Hoss is my favorite character too), but I also like The Virginian, Father Knows Best, Daniel Boone, Family Affair, Wagon Train, Laramie, and The Donna Reed Show.

So I decided to take @ethryndal’s advice and post this on the forum so all you non-Instagramers could see it. 😋
Every New Year’s Eve, my family holds a gingerbread house decorating contest. Normal people would just decorate it to look pretty, right? Well, I’m weird and always theme my gingerbread houses. For the longest time, I could not come u…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 You’re muchly welcome and thank you!!! ☺️ I love old tv shows (especially westerns as you probably already guessed 😉). I sometimes hide retro actors/actresses in my art. What are some of your favorite old TV shows?

@winter-rose Okay, I’m not sure if it’s just me, but it seems like him being afraid of girls is a little overemphasized.
Maybe if it were a little more concise, like this: Any other bodyguard would give anything to protect her.
Not Rook Warren. He is terrified of girls—or that’s what his fellow bodyguards assume. Rook has managed to avoid fem…[Read more]

Wow, you have some awesome goals! I hope you will accomplish them all! Most of my goals this year are platform related, but I have a few personal ones too. 🙂
Here are some of my goals:
1. Finish the final draft of the first and second book of my time travel trilogy.
2. Finish the third book in the trilogy.
3. Finish illustrating my…[Read more]

@notawriter Yes! ☺️ I make cards all the time (I hope to start my own card company someday).

Hi @bethanysinkyroses! I remember you (Aberdeen has been asking where you’ve been). 😃
I’m guessing you’re an INFP.
We’re elated to have you back! *throws confetti*

@abby1 Hiya! Me and my assistant, Aberdeen the authorosaurus, greet you!
It’s neat that you reside in New Zealand! 😃 I’ve never been there, but from the photos I’ve seen, it looks breathtaking. What is your favorite thing about living there?

@daeus Great idea! Thanks for tagging me, but I don’t have a FB account so I can’t participate (otherwise I also would have joined the Kingdom Pen staff FB group).

@daeus I thought about aiming higher, but I didn’t want to for fear of disappointment. 150 seemed like a good middle ground. 🙂
Thanks. I’ll look into that (January is going to be my marketing strategy month so I can have everything lined out for the year).
One last random question: why do you have a herd of turtles as your signature? I’m…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I’m currently reading How to Market a Book by Joanna Penn so I may check those out when I’m finished reading her book. 🙂 I try not to read too many marketing books at once because it overwhelms me.
You are braver than I (the last time I took the test I got 88% introverted). 😉 I like the business card idea since it wouldn’t take me…[Read more]
