Texas Sunset – Jolene Navarro
Hola! Jolene Navarro checking in from the Texas Hill Country.
Watching the sunset over the ranch that is on the other side of our road. It’s for sale. Anyone have a few million I could use? It’s right on the Guadalupe River. Perfect place for a writing retreat.
That’s one of my far fetched dreams, owning a writing retreat resort.
Speaking of retreats…
It’s been perfect weather for reading and writing. Cool temps but not the crazy freezing some of my friends are experiencing north of us. Here in Texas, we have been forced to wear jackets.
Just two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of hanging out with some of the best writer’s I know. We gathered at the Frio River at Rio Bella Resort. One of the sweetest spots on Earth. The town, Leakey is the reason I love writing about small towns. A population of about 400. Small Town. LOL
Being around other like-minded people, nature, live water can be a spiritual experience. It’s an awesome way to renew, relax and reconnect with the creative part of your brain and God. These are all from mid-January. See the pants and long sleeves? It’s cold. lol

While there, I received the cover of my June release. It made the weekend perfect.
This is Elijah and Jasmine’s story. The little girl is their sweet daughter, Rosie. I think it might be one of my favorite stories and covers.
The Texan’s Secret Daughter – June release.
Can this rancher make up for his past?
A Cowboys of Diamondback Ranch romance
Turning his life around was the hardest thing Elijah De La Rosa ever had to do—until his ex-wife, Jazmine Daniels, returns with their young daughter he didn’t know existed. Now this successful rancher will do anything to be a good father. But can he forgive himself for the past…and turn their second chance into a family for always?
What do you think about this cover?
Jolene’s life, much like her stories, is filled with faith, family, and all of life's wonderful messiness. She knows that, as much as the world changes, people stay the same. Good and evil. Vow-keepers and heart breakers. Jolene married a vow-keeper who showed her that holding hands and dancing in the rain never gets old. She loves creating stories of love and faith in her much loved Texas.
Hi Jolene, I love the cover-Rosie looks like a cutie:)
Is that snow on the ground in the second photo of the resort? It looks like a beautiful place to relax, write and fellowship.
Blessings:)
Hi Jolene! Inspiring cover. Rosie reminds of a friends little girl. Leakey, what an unusual town name. Beautiful resort. One of the reasons I enjoy living in SW Michigan. Small towns, lots of green and the beauty of Lake Michigan, a river, and creek. Best wishes. Enjoy your weekend.
What an awesome retreat that looks like! I love the cover, I would probably go that up in heartbeat!!
I really like this cover. The little girl is really cute. ☺ The Rio Bella Resort looks like an awesome place to have a retreat.
Nope, white rocks. LOL It hasn’t gotten cold enough to snow. Thanks for stopping by.
Hello Wemble. That is not snow. I had to go back and look – it’s white rock, so it does look as if we had some snow. LOL Thanks for stopping by
Hi Renate. Yes we always have our retreats by water – lake, river or gulf. Thanks for the kind words
Hi Paula. I think the faces and the orange and blue make it pop.
Thank you Jessica. She is, right? It is an awesome place. Have a good weekend.
Hi! I really like the cover, that little girl looks like she could be a handful :)
I completely understand getting away with like minded people. I do a scrap weekend in Bar Harbor in November and can get quite a few pages done in the encouraging environment with so many talented people doing a variety of crafts. (It doesn’t hurt being right on the ocean either.) So if I had a spare million, I would be happy to share!
Thank Julianne. Water is such a great place to recharge. That sounds fun. A creative weekend is good for the soul.
Love the cover! Sounds like a nice relaxing place to recharge your battery!
Love the cover.
Thank you Lucy. : )
So cute! Love it!
