Prickle Forrest Chronicles May 2026 Howdy Prickles! Well now, May sure came in like a runaway colt and never slowed down once. I’m mighty thankful for all the blessings this month brought, but I’ll admit… I’m looking forward to June easing up the pace just a smidge. Unless, of course, a dog guide pup becomes available. Then all bets are off around here. Hmm? Book Event Roundup This past month had me hitting the trail for both the 3rd annual Newark Book Fest and the 1st Artasia & Bookie Nights festival.

Prickle Forrest Chronicles Chrissy Hartmann April 2026 Howdy Prickles! Pull up a chair and let’s chat a spell. Lately, I’ve been noticing something out on the reader trail — folks are craving stories with a little more hope stitched into the seams. The kind that sticks with you after you close the book. The kind that reminds you life might buck a little… but it ain’t done being beautiful. Truth is, most of my stories have always carried a thread of hope. I just can’t help myself—it sneaks in between the banter and the messy hearts every time. But this … Continue reading Prickle Forrest Chronicles by Chrissy Hartmann April 2026 – Books, Boots, Piggies, and a Whole Lot of Hope!

Prickle Forrest Chronicles by Chrissy Hartmann – March 2026 – Butter my biscuits, found a long lost cowboy novella. Yeehaw!

Prickle Forrest Chronicles by Chrissy Hartmann

Prickle Forrest Chronicles by Chrissy Hartmann March 2026 Howdy, Prickles! Well, lucky old me … I stumbled across a partially finished manuscript tucked away in my files. Turns out it’s a little novella called Whiskey Kisses. If all goes according to plan, it oughta ride into town around August 2026… maybe sooner if the writing winds blow my way. This one’s got a cowboy, a kitten, and a veterinarian who’s mighty determined to keep her independence. All I’ve gotta do now is dream up a book cover, write the back blurb, edit the whole thing, and polish it up. So … Continue reading Prickle Forrest Chronicles by Chrissy Hartmann – March 2026 – Butter my biscuits, found a long lost cowboy novella. Yeehaw!
