about me

I am a fifty six year old widowed grandmother who lives on a family farm in rural Pennsylvania.

Do not ask me to comment on your work if you just want me to tell you it's great. Because I won't. I need serious, intelligent criticism and I will give that in return.

Shirley "Rodeo" Landis VanScoy....

Not about a rodeo. Not about a princess. Just what happens out here, when you aren't very good at anything.


Rodeo's life was one big domestic episode after another - runaway cattle, suicidal turkeys, eye glasses thrown out of car windows during snow storms, accusations of shoplifting spray paint by Amish women. Such things can really complicate a marriage. One night, two policemen come to the door with her husband's driver's license. They regret having to inform her that her husband is dead. She regrets it, too. "The Domestic Episodes of a Rodeo Princess" is the story about love and loss for the rest of us.

I am afraid to change anything because I thought all the comments would disappear. Thank you all so much for reading. I'm not really playing this game - I don't get it - I don't understand the backing, shelving, etc and what that has to do with it - and PLEASE, no one explain it to me. I just nee... view book

The phrase "lain snow" stopped the flow of my reading = would just "fresh snow" be stronger? I wouldn't mention a nit like this if it wasn't in the first paragraph and setting the tone for the whole book. So, my suggestion would be go through and remove any word that stops the fast pace. The pac... view book

Okay, you had me at "My landlord Shirley". hahahahah. You can actually write! Thank GOD! I am not much of a mystery reader, but I would come back to this. DISCLAIMER: I will not puff my criticisms. I will not say this is the best book I have ever read, unless by some miracle, it is! view book
