I am so sorry to lose her. I didn't know her well but through my experiences here on Sweethearts, I know she was a very supportive and talented lady.

And as so many here are saying, I was impressed not only with her talent as an western writer, but also with her genuine friendship and willingness to share her knowledge with others. My heartfelt sympathy to her family and friends. <br /> Cheri Kay Cliftonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06035609961825622472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-31190487857080786192018-07-12T14:46:34.907-05:002018-07-12T14:46:34.907-05:00I met Celia through Prairie Rose Publications.

She wasn't just an associate who wrote great western stories, gave intelligent and honest opinions, or even that she was wise and offered good counsel when I needed it; most of all, she was my friend. I am going to miss her deeply. There's a hole in my world today.<br />Some of you may not have known her. I wish you had. Because I want you to know about her, I am adding an interview I did of Celia to help her promote one of her stories and it has her bio at the beginning. <br />For Celia...<br />CELIA YEARY INETERVIEW:<br />Celia Yeary, a native Texan, former science teacher, graduate of Texas Tech University and Texas State University, is mother of two, grandmother of three boys, and wife of a wonderful, supportive Texan. <br />She has published ten novels, seven novellas, short stories, and articles for a Texas Magazine-- Texas Co-op Power. She is a member of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas (DRT), a local writing group called The Write Girls, and co-owns a group blog titled Sweethearts of the West.<br />Celia and her husband enjoy traveling, and both are involved in their church, the community, and the university. Central Texas has been her home for forty years.<br /><br />I love you, Celia, and I will never forget you.<br /><br /><br />My replay was too long for it to post here, but I have an interview with Celia on my FB page if you would like to read it: <br /><br />http://www.Facebook.com/SarahMcNeal.9<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Sarah J.
