Wandering and Wondering with Words
Welcome to My Home on the Web!
I love horses to distraction and obsession. At the age of 65, I finally became the owner of a mini-horse named Flynn. Unfortunately, I couldn’t take proper care of him, and he found a new home.
I am a member of the Central Region Oklahoma Writers (CROW), the Oklahoma Romance Writer’s Guild (OKRWG), the Oklahoma Writers Federation, Inc. (OWFI), and Women Writing the West (WWW).
I write and read historical and women’s fiction novels with or without a romance focus, romantic suspense and just about anything!
Why Open Rood?
Open Rood sounds strange, but several years ago my late husband and I thought it would be interesting to name any business we started The Open Rood.
Why?
Because my late husband's name was Frank Cross; Frank=Open (honest) Cross=Rood (an ancient name for cross).
It’s merely a play on words.
