      To Feel the Song of Seasons chronicles the existential relationship between feelings felt and love lived. It is an enlightening visit into a definition of romantic love as seen through words. The verse, poetry, and letters tell the poetic story of love found, love lost, and love searched for. Human feelings are displayed in a way that captivates the imagination of the reader until imagery replaces the words; then feelings replace the imagery, as its message becomes a personal message. As you read, you will come to feel the author's feelings. You will come to see the author's sights, and you will smile with knowing. The display of love as written will surely find a home in your memory and you will want to revisit selected words often in your thoughts. As you do you will come to discover the author's cadence more precisely. A cadence that will lead you to cherished feelings again and again until you fully understand yourself in love. Written for those who have known romantic love, and those who have come to understand that the knowledge of the need for romantic love is unique to man.

      Lindsey Taylor, forced to move her inheritance of valuable cattle from a Colorado ranch to auction in ten days or forfeit the herd to Chan Reed for the past year's grazing fee, makes a desperate call to her six writer friends in Arizona. The women call themselves the Foofwahs, shortened from their critique group name, "Future Famous Writers of America." All are over forty and out of shape, but the women love the challenge of a crisis. How difficult can it be to climb on a horse and herd a bunch of cows seventy miles? Accompanied by a crusty old cowboy named Jake Wiggins, they rush to Lindsey's aid. The women and Jake take an instant dislike to one another. Jake thinks women belong in the kitchen, and they think he needs a bath. Misadventures on the cattle drive convince Jake that these "fluffheads" are incompetent for the job, but a series of deadly trail "accidents" orchestrated by Chan Reed cause them to work together, and they grow in mutual respect. Chan, failing in his efforts to romance Lindsey into accepting his low offer for the cattle, falls in love with the youngest Foofwah, Angie, who is also a traveling fortune teller. With humor and poignancy, the novel tells of human frailty and strength, jealousy and love, betrayal and loyalty.
