2020 is turning out to be a memorable already

2020 is already turning out to be a rough year... but the rough patch for me started a bit early--on Christmas day. We had an old female dog (11 years) who we've been battling congestive heart failure with, and she was on a steroid and diuretic to allow her to have a reasonable quality of life for her last days. We knew her time was coming, but we hoped she'd make it past the holidays. She didn't, unfortunately and passed at around noon on Christmas Day. 

On New Years, we had one of our old horses (22 years old) colic and when the vet came out, he found what might have been a tumor in his colon. Needless to say, we lost him, too. Then, shortly after Valentine's Day, we were at the emergency room with my husband for a prolonged fever. Turns out, he had pneumonia caused by strep and ended up having to spend nearly two weeks in the hospital and having surgery.

We're all recovering from battle after spiritual battle in our house ~ Pray for us too if you get a chance!

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, 
but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world 
and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. - Ephesians 6:12

Now, here we are--nearly halfway through March, and I've had only a few releases this year. In January, February, and March, I'm only able to get out one book each month. February's release is A Bride for Silas, in case you missed it:
Summer, 1881
When Margaret Thomas dared step out of line as a teacher at a prestigious girl's academy, her life falls apart. She has no prospects for further employment and no chance of marriage. She lost her family in a fire that left her scarred as a young child. Because she's prone to rash decisions, she decides on a whim to answer the advertisement for a mail-order bride in New Mexico Territory.
Silas Coleman is an undertaker, shunned by the people of Fort Sumner. When his mother passes on, she leaves instructions with the reverend to advertise for a bride for her son. But the advertisement doesn't say his occupation, and it requires a wedding by proxy before the new bride arrives.
Can these two lost and lonely hearts find love and a family when they both hit rock bottom?
