Bee County: Beauty & the eye of the beholder

July 15, 2016 by Kelly Irvin 15 Comments

The release of The Saddle Maker’s Son, the final installment of the Amish of Bee County series, has me feeling a little blue. I think this happens to many authors.

Texas weather and other seasons

June 27, 2016 by Kelly Irvin Leave a Comment

My life is a bit like the weather in Texas. If I don’t like it, I only have to wait a second and it’ll change. One thing is for certain, everything changes. Strange as it may seem, that fact gives me a certain amount of comfort. How we navigate through the seasons in our lives…  Read More
