Psst! Be sure to post. I’m giving away something tomorrow and will look at the posts since the last giveaway to find my winner! And I’m not telling you ahead of time what it will be!
Okay, the date of release is wrong on the banner above, but it’s still pretty, isn’t it?
I’m a little tired so I’m being as lazy as possible today. The red-headed hellion and her hubby needed a little intervention late last night. I’m the person they called. (Don’t laugh!)
She’s volatile. He’s reserved. When they argue, he wants to roll his eyes and run to his office to shut the door because she gets really loud. I blame it on her Irish genes. I’m mostly German, so of course, I’m logical and get to the point of any argument. In the middle of the night I made a trip to their house. We drank coffee. I dried tears (no, I wasn’t all cozy and warm about it because someday she needs to grow up), but by the end of the night everyone was calm and grinning sheepishly. A mom’s job is never done. Take heed!
So, I’ll leave you with a couple of photos of the park that inspired the climbing scenes.
The fortress, this first photo is the cliff she finds herself stranded on in that first opening scene I shared.
A scene I won’t share (because goodness, y’all have to get the book to satisfy your full curiosity!) involves a climb up a hoodoo. Nope I didn’t mistype. See the cylindrical spires at the top of this cliff? Those are hoodoos.
Comment
Is it just me, or do those hoodoos look like two penises rubbing together? 😛
Now, that would make a great scene in your next book, huh?
Comment
Gorgeous photos, Delilah! And good work, Mom! Hooray for you!
Comment
LOL at Cheryl’s comment because… I was thinking something similar.
Comment
Who knew what a hoodoo was…. almost sounds like a Dr. Seuss line. Bet you never thought that Dr. Seuss and Delilah Devlin would be put together in the same sentance 😀
not me, but then again I am from the midwest which is pretty much flat. Great pics though, but still isn’t as good as those excerpts were 🙁
Comment
😀 its funny I do the exact opposite for my mom and younger sister when they fight–i’m the oldest daughter and so they both call me (usually at the same time) and expect me to make the other see sense.
Comment
Loved the pictures. Great reference for when I read the book. Have a great day.
Comment
I feel your pain. You meet my hellion Saturday.
Gotta love your kids. They definitely have to grow up but it’s still hard to see them make mistakes sometimes.
Comment
Those are beautiful pictures! So serene and colorful.
And to Cheryl, I don’t think I’ll ever look at a mountain the same way again you naughty girl.
Comment
Beautiful photos. 😀
Comment
Love the photos and thanks to Cheryl I now only see penises. For shame Cheryl. 😉
You will be happy to know that I hunted down Darkness Burning. Oh damn I better look to see what I have pre-ordered already. Just thought of that. Later.
Comment
Great pictures. They remind me a bit of Colorado National Monument outside of Grand Junction. Very pretty.
Comment
Glad everything is fine. Awesome pics.
Comment
Gorgeous pics and I also have to LOL at Cheryl’s comment.
Comment
Great photos! Now I’ll have to read the book!
Comment
Cheryl! Even me, with my dirty mind, didn’t see that! 😆
Fedora! Thanks.
Chris! Such a dirty mind…
Booklover! You’re in a good mood! Dr Seuss and Delilah Devlin. The sky is going to open and I’m gonna be struck by a thunderbolt!
Comment
Lexie! And I bet they think you’re missing the emotion gene too!
Roberta! Thank you!
Heather! I did meet your hellion. She seemed sweet!!
Jody and Crystal! Thanks so much!
Comment
Brandy! I can’t take credit for the photos. I did a google search on the canyon. And you found DB?! I hope you enjoy it!!
Karin, Jane and Terri! I’m glad I’m “setting the setting” in your minds.
Eva! That’s the whole point! 😈
Comment
hmmmmmmmm penis shaped mountains. I do believe I have a whole new outlook on the sport of mountain climbing.
Nice pics and thanks for the visuals here Delilah.
Comment
Awesome photos and I do love that banner, wrong date and all.
Comment
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who saw penises! 😆

Those pictures are beautiful. I would love to see them in person I am sure they do not do the real thing justice!
Comment
The oictures are beautiful. So much sky in there too. Here on the East Coast, it doesn’t look like that. I’m ready to read “Tempted By A Cowboy”. nice cover too.

I didn’t take those pictures. Wish I had. Haven’t been to Palo Duro canyon yet, but it’s on my bucket list. I scoured the web for photos and stories about climbing in the park and floods. And I called the park service there to find out what a ranger’s life is like.

awesome photos!
