It was very exciting when Harlequin asked me to write a novella to introduce the characters in the K-9s on Patrol series (all books are standalone). I mulled over who would be the K-9 hero and decided it would be Lily, my grand fur baby! LOL! She’s such a bundle of energy but so loving and protective. In Deadly Chase, a K-9 officer and a DEA agent join forces to combat a deadly enemy and confront their own complicated past. You’ll get to meet Alex and Miriam, the two law enforcement heroes in this story and of course, Lily! Read Deadly Chase for FREE at https://bit.ly/DeadlyChaseFreeRead.

As an author you have a number of things on your bucket list and I don’t think I know even one author who doesn’t want to see one of their books as a movie. I’m luckier than most authors in that I got to see that happen with Hallmark decided to turn South Beach Love into one of their Hallmark Original Movies! WOW! It was so so exciting to get that call and then the one that followed which said we’d be able to visit the movie set to watch the filming. Unfortunately, because it was during COVID, I didn’t get to do a walk-on as some authors were able to do. In addition, there were intense COVID protocols that we had to follow, but still, it was AMAZING. The director, film crew, and cast were so nice and we loved being able to see how things work behind the scenes. It was also so nice to meet the actors and actresses who were playing the various characters in the books. Today I’m sharing some photos from the filming and if you haven’t had a chance to read the book, there’s good news for you! It’s now available for FREE on Kindle Unlimited or specially priced at 99 cents for a limited time. You can download it at https://amzn.to/48xDjKD.
For many on the East Coast, the first snowfall of the year is coming down. I’m lucky that I only have rain since being close to the ocean helps warm things up in the winter and cool things down in the summer. Still, it’s nasty out there so after brunch with a friend, I’m going to hunker down and get some reading done. How about you or shouldn’t I ask because the answer will be: I like to read when it’s too cold/hot/rainy/sunny outside! LOL!
It’s the Epiphany or Los Reyes as we call it at our house! Hanging on to Christmas just a little longer. Who wouldn’t love that? How about a grinchy bah humbug but sexy vampire whose past Christmases have been filled with pain and loss? To be honest, when my editor called me and said, “We want you to write a Christmas vampire story”, I was a little dumbfounded. Vampires and Christmas? Really? But no sooner had I said “Of course” my mind was whirling with ideas and the story for Fate Calls totally came to me! It took a lot of planning to make sure that vampire elder Hadrian had real reasons for hating Christmas so that when Connie Morales ends up on his doorstep in her Santa outfit, madly ringing her bell to raise money for charity, he has a reason to make her stop! I loved giving Hadrian his backstory, especially since it included a great deal of Roman history and also vampire elder Stacia’s backstory as well. She’s one of my favorite characters since she’s so outrageous and tortured. If you haven’t had a chance to read Fate Calls and want a taste of Christmas through the eyes of a vampire, you can download Fate Calls at https://amzn.to/488Fm7F.
OMG, it’s 2024! Another year and like I said yesterday, I’m so excited for 2024! I’m looking forward to a grandbaby and so much more. I’m working on a number of new books and have several Harlequin Intrigue releases starting with Sabotage Operation and Escape the Everglades in May and June. Also planning on a number of reader conferences starting with the Coastal Magic Conference in February! Also excited about presenting workshops, starting with the Liberty States Fiction Writers Conference in March! OMG so much!! What about travel? Well, that all depends on when the new baby will arrive and helping out my daughter and her hubby. Not complaining, though. It’s such a wondrous thing and honestly, having my daughter and seeing the person she has become is the greatest accomplishment of my life. What about you? What are you looking forward to doing in 2024?
