Signed, Sealed, & Delivered

BIG NEWS! I just finished writing Book #1 in my brand-new Crooked Pass Security K-9 Division spinoff series, and I am so excited to finally share it! This series follows CPS agents as they crack long-cold cases and fight for families who were denied justice. Book One (title coming soon!) stars Nicky Garcia, who pleads Crooked Pass to uncover the truth behind her father’s disappearance 20 years ago. Branded a deserter at Fort Dix, Pedro Garcia’s case destroyed his family’s benefits — benefits they desperately need now as Nicky’s mom battles MS. Enter Cisco Alvarez and his beagle partner Havana, ready to sniff out the truth someone has tried very hard to bury. Coming late 2026 — and trust me, this mystery runs deep. While you wait…If cold cases, danger, and K-9 heroes are your jam, pre-order COLD CASE K-9! Gabriella’s sister vanished from a scout camp years ago… and now a hiker is missing on the same trail. A serial killer is running out of time — and so is she. https://amzn.to/48qzo4R.

A missing hiker. An ice-cold case.

Good thing expert tracker Diego and his K9 partner, Poppy, are willing to follow the trail no one else will.
