Rainy Saturday Vibes

It’s Memorial Day weekend on the Jersey Shore, and we’re looking at unseasonable chill and rain that will put a damper on the festivities for honoring our fallen military men and women. I’m hunkering down to work on a new book and finish some chores to get ready for the RAGT reader conference in early June. My daughter, friends, and I have lots of fun activities planned for attendees. If you can’t make the reader conference, there are FREE book signings on Friday and Saturday from 2 to 4 pm.

Inspiration for Buried Truths

I love strolling along the boardwalk, but I also love taking hikes in the woods. I love the quiet and the sunlight coming through the trees. In the spring months, there’s the new green of the trees, flowering dogwoods, and violets in patches of purple and yellow. There may be a spring nearby with the rush of water from a spring rain. Maybe some frogs, peeping away. There is a sense of peace, but also expectation, since you never know what will be around the bend. Hikes like that inspired the opening scene in BURIED TRUTHS as police officer Mark Dillon is taking his cane corso, Rocky, for a spring walk on a mountain trail. He’s enjoying the peace and beauty of the morning when a woman comes barreling through the underbrush. She’s injured and has clearly been in the cold for some time. Worse, she can’t remember anything, including her name. But danger is near. BURIED TRUTHS hits shelves on May 26. Order your copy today at https://amzn.to/4uvVknq.

Only Six Days to Go…

What if your memories vanished… but your danger didn’t? That’s the position that “Amanda” finds herself in when she wakes on a mountain trail. She knows she’s in danger, and worse, she thinks it’s the police who are a threat. The man with the immense black dog who finds her on the trail seems friendly enough and wants to be helpful. But then he identifies himself as a police officer. Can she trust him with her life and the secrets she can’t remember? BURIED TRUTHS hits shelves in only six days!

Teaser

A man and his K-9
Will defend her from danger

When Sergeant Mark Dillon’s K-9 police dog, Rocky, alerts him to something off a mountain path, he doesn’t expect it to be a young woman. Luckily, “Amanda” is alive—but her memory is gone and she has no idea who has left her for dead. As the investigation grows, Mark suspects Amanda is a witness who knows too much. Since she only trusts him, this undeniable connection means Mark and Rocky will do whatever it takes to uncover her buried truths…and keep her alive.

I’m back!

I am so happy to be back with you! The last two weeks have been a real push to finish the new book thanks to the book events that I had a hand in organizing the last two months. I loved how well the events turned out, but they did steal writing time from me. But now I’m back and getting ready to work on #3 in the Crooked Pass Security K-9 Division series as well as a proposal for a whole new series. I’m also getting ready for a road trip with my daughter, Samantha Ann, and my friend, Linda J. Parisi. We’ll be packing up the car to head to the Annual Reader and Author Get Together. I can’t wait to spend time with so many of you who have said will be there, but if you can’t attend the Get Together, I hope you’ll be able to come by for the two FREE author signings on Friday and Saturday! For more info on the event, please visit https://readerauthorgettogether.com/. I’ll have copies of my May 26 release BURIED TRUTHS there along with several other books and some special box sets of the Marauders Baseball romances, The Calling is Reborn Vampire Novels, and the At the Shore contemporary romances. But now’s the time for this week’s This or That question: Would you prefer to take a road trip or a plane trip? I hate to fly, so I would much rather take a road trip, but you just can’t get to some places that way. Sigh.
