I’ll be missing for a little while…
The past month’s events, from our LSF Writers Conference to this weekend’s A Day of Wine, Romance, and More, were fabulous, but they have seriously impacted my writing time. I have a book due mid-May, so I’m going to take a short break from being online to focus on finishing it! I will miss you and try to check in over the next two weeks. Please take a moment to check out my May 26th release, BURIED TRUTHS. If you haven’t grabbed your copy already, please check it out at https://amzn.to/4cNqXCK. P.S. Here’s a photo of my daughter, friends, and me at the winery.
Time for A Day of Wine, Romance, and More!
I’m off for a few days for A Day of Wine, Romance, and More! I am so looking forward to spending time with so many wonderful book friends! If you’re in the Brook Hollow Winery area, I hope you’ll drop by on one of the days to say “Hello” to my daughter, my author friends, and me!

Turn a Page, Start a Journey
Short post today since I’m hard at work on #2 in the new Crooked Pass Security K-9 spinoff. This one features a morally gray hero who is a retired professional thief. He’s helping CPS and their K-9 agent figure out who pulled off a heist of art and gold from a museum. It’s really been a fun story to write so far, and it’s taken me on my own little journey. Like many books, when you turn a page, you can start a journey to new places or new adventures. If you’d like to turn the page and spend some time on the beautiful Jersey Shore, grab your copy of ONE SUMMER NIGHT, which is specially priced at 99 cents!

*****
SHE CRAB-CRAWLED back a few inches, afraid of the man.
He’d said he was a cop. She didn’t know why that scared her more than comforted.
But he had kind, amazing green eyes in a youthful, handsome face. He was probably only in his late twenties.
Not much older than…
How old am I? she wondered for a hot second before he said, “What’s your name?”
She opened her mouth to answer but couldn’t.
She shook her head, both in denial and as if that might shake loose the response, but it didn’t.
“I don’t know,” she said as a shiver wracked her body despite the warmth of his jacket. It still held his body heat and smelled nice.
Masculine and clean.
“Do you know where you are?” he asked as he helped her to her feet.
“Thank you,” she said because the ground had been cold and slightly damp. The morning sun had yet to pierce the tree leaves and warm the earth.
He didn’t release her hand, steadying her as they picked their way to the hard-packed trail she had spotted earlier that morning. She had been trying to reach it in the hope of…
What had she been hoping? To escape? she asked herself even as he once again asked, “Do you know where you are?”
She wanted to curse at him that she was on the side of a mountain with a stranger and a massive black dog that looked more like a bear, but held back. He seemed to be trying to help.
“You’re bleeding,” he said.
She reached up to the warmth on her forehead and encountered sticky wetness.
As she brought her hand down, she stared at the cherry-red blood on her fingers, and her knees buckled slightly.
He slipped an arm around her waist, offering support, and she reacted, driving her foot down on his instep and jabbing his solar plexus, drawing a grunt from him.
“Easy. I’m just trying to help,” he said, echoing her thoughts.
“I can take care of myself,” she said and instantly felt stupid.
She was lost on an unknown trail, cold and bleeding, and she couldn’t even remember her name, much less anything else. Except that maybe she couldn’t trust the police.
Do you love breakfast or dinner?
Do you love breakfast or dinner? Maybe breakfast for dinner? For me, breakfast is a favorite meal, mostly because it involves eggs and bacon. But carbonara has eggs and bacon too, and it’s for dinner! LOL! So, if you had to choose your favorite, which would it be? Do you have your copies of the Crooked Pass Security series books and do you have a favorite one? If not, run over to https://amzn.to/4tvg7qO to check them out! The next book in the series, BURIED TRUTHS, hits shelves on May 26th!
