Happy 4th of July!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful day full of fun and celebration on the 4th. My family certainly did. The fireworks that we watched with our family and friends in our community were amazing as usual. I love the kids faces as each firework bursts. My little Bowen was absolutely stunned when they first started, but shortly after, he got used to the noise and began falling to the ground with each pop pretending like he'd been shot. Needless to say I would catch myself watching this funny little scene more than watching the gorgeous display in the sky! I love this time of year and I am so proud to be an American, which is one of the reasons I chose the 4th of July as the center of my next Hitchin' Post book. Now obviously I'm not a marketing or business major or otherwise I would've had this book hot off the press and ready to purchase with a huge marketing campaign leading up to the 4th! But....I'm not.

A Sneak Preview

I wanted to share another excerpt from Hitchin' Post , this one actually being one of my favorite. The main theme of this book, and one that I try to instill in my children daily, is that though life brings you so many ups and downs, you must always look for the good and ALWAYS be thankful. Hitch spends much time in thought about this very subject after seeing his beloved ranch go through a drought, but he continues to find more to be thankful for. "Hitch's favorite place so calm and serene with a little creek flowing near, is the small country church, where by the window he'll perch each Sunday morning so he can hear. He can see it from the air, that little white church, and oh, what an amazing view! The horses are running, the windmills are turning, and Hitch thinks, God must be a cowboy too! " Thank you all for your interest in Hitchin' Post . I look forward to sharing more! Julie Barker

Hitchin' Post and the 6Bs' Tornado Twistin' 4th of July Celebration excerpt - Happy 4th of July!

As the crowd looked on at the cheering cowboys, the fireworks began to light up the sky. A fiddler started playing the "Star Spangled Banner", and everyone turned to watch Old Glory fly. "I'm getting goosebumps again," said a soft voice and the brothers turned and looked at Mitch. He was holding his arm up but watching the flag, and he put his other arm around Hitch. Hitch would never forget that moment at the 6Bs' standing with his brothers and filled with joy. He was so proud to be an American, but more than that, proud to be a cowboy. excerpt from Hitchin' Post and the 6B's Tornado Twistin' 4th of July Celebration Copyright 2018 #4thofJuly #IndependenceDay
