Where the Crickets Sing is now ready to go out into homes - a big thank you to all those who have waited patiently, and sent me encouraging emails along the way. I have yet to get it set up on my online store page, but for those of you who would like to buy...]]> http://www.rosieboom.com/news/the-books-are-here/feed 5 http://www.rosieboom.com/writing/e-books http://www.rosieboom.com/writing/e-books#comments Mon, 14 May 2012 10:46:50 +0000 Rosie http://www.rosieboom.com/?p=1879 On Saturday I finally published Where Lions Roar at Night as an ebook on the internet! It’s been a huge process and a steep learning curve for me, but I feel an equally big thrill at having finally accomplished it. :) Now I’m asking a favour from my readers and friends! I need some people who are willing to go to Smashwords and write a review...]]> http://www.rosieboom.com/writing/e-books/feed 0 http://www.rosieboom.com/writing/the-writers-well http://www.rosieboom.com/writing/the-writers-well#comments Tue, 08 May 2012 20:48:00 +0000 Rosie http://www.rosieboom.com/?p=1876 http://www.rosieboom.com/writing/the-writers-well/feed 0 http://www.rosieboom.com/news/where-the-crickets-sing-2 http://www.rosieboom.com/news/where-the-crickets-sing-2#comments Mon, 07 May 2012 11:33:44 +0000 Rosie http://www.rosieboom.com/?p=1863 Well, friends, at last the next book in The Barn Chronicles series is on New zealand shores! A few thousand copies of Where the Crickets Sing are sitting in Auckland waiting to be okayed by the powers that be in customs. I'm expecting a truck to roll up to the barn in the next few days. (Good grief. Where will I put them all?) I guess I've got to...]]> http://www.rosieboom.com/news/where-the-crickets-sing-2/feed 5 http://www.rosieboom.com/home-and-family/duck-shooting-season http://www.rosieboom.com/home-and-family/duck-shooting-season#comments Sun, 06 May 2012 04:54:54 +0000 Rosie http://www.rosieboom.com/?p=1844 Today we discovered two visitors in our pool - a wise pair of ducks who took shelter from the hunters across the river. :) I wonder if they'll go off and tell all their friends? Chris appeared shortly afterwards with a double barrel gun (aka two rubber pipes) but they seemed to know he wasn't a great threat...  ]]> http://www.rosieboom.com/home-and-family/duck-shooting-season/feed 0 http://www.rosieboom.com/news/no-broken-bones http://www.rosieboom.com/news/no-broken-bones#comments Sun, 06 May 2012 04:00:36 +0000 Rosie http://www.rosieboom.com/?p=1833 On Wednesday my darling 90-year-old mum had a fall and hurt her right leg. She was in a lot of pain so we ended up spending eight hours at the hospital having blood tests, ECG, examinations by doctors and of course x-rays. What wonderful care she was given over those hours! Doctors, nurses, physios, occupational therapists, social workers...]]> http://www.rosieboom.com/news/no-broken-bones/feed 1 http://www.rosieboom.com/rosies-thoughts/no-hurry http://www.rosieboom.com/rosies-thoughts/no-hurry#comments Sun, 06 May 2012 03:19:11 +0000 Rosie http://www.rosieboom.com/?p=1683 http://www.rosieboom.com/rosies-thoughts/no-hurry/feed 1 http://www.rosieboom.com/home-and-family/adventure-at-the-beach http://www.rosieboom.com/home-and-family/adventure-at-the-beach#comments Wed, 18 Apr 2012 03:27:59 +0000 Rosie http://www.rosieboom.com/?p=1799 It was the adventure of the holidays - a trip to the beach with four horses and the gig!!! Penny and I spent a few anxious stressful hours the day before trying to get Esther, Grace's horse, to load on the float but finally we did it.
