Do You Love Digital or Paper?

I had a friend who encouraged me to get more organized with tracking dates, goals, etc. Plus, when I saw so many people with beautiful planners filled with gorgeous images and schedules, I decided I’d also get a planner. I didn’t get just one. I got two because I usually have to book/plan for a two-year window. I filled them with lovely keepsakes and photos. Wrote in ink before realizing that dates changed so much that I really should do it in pencil or on Post-It notes. I kept it up for a year, when I realized I could not keep up by using paper. So I went to a digital calendar, especially for my social media planning. Do you use a planner? If you do, is it on paper or digital? P.S. The last book in the Crooked Pass Security series, BURIED TRUTHS, arrives in May, but don’t worry! The series spinoff, Crooked Pass Security K-9 Division, hits shelves with K-9 TRACKER in November 2026. I think you’ll love BURIED TRUTHS, which features a heroine with amnesia who may be the mastermind behind a multi-million dollar fraud. Or is she?

Galentine’s or Valentines?

Happy Galentine’s Day! My family and I are big Parks & Rec fans, and I love Leslie Knope’s ever-optimistic view on life. I have many female friends and totally value their friendship and spending time with them! But I don’t normally celebrate Galentine’s Day, unlike Valentine’s Day, when hubby and I are going out to dinner for Thai food. It’s not something we normally do, which makes it a special treat. What about you? Do you celebrate Galentine’s Day, or is Valentine’s Day the big celebration for you? P.S. If you love Galentine’s Day and stories about female friendship, ONE SUMMER NIGHT may just be the book for you. It’s the first book in the At the Shore series, which features three friends on the Jersey Shore and how they deal with the loves in their lives. ONE SUMMER NIGHT is specially priced at 99 cents.

This or That: Print Books or Audiobooks?

So much has changed in the publishing industry since my first book was published in 1999. Wow! So long ago. We’re lucky to have so many choices on how to read, from print books to e-books to audiobooks. I confess I still love having a print book in my hand. I’ll open an e-book only if I don’t have a print book or am unexpectedly waiting for something. I’m a very visual person, so audiobooks are not my thing, although I love listening to a good podcast while I’m driving. How about you? Do you like print books or audiobooks? P.S. If you love audiobooks, many of my books are available in that format. Check them out at https://amzn.to/4qxZlVM, including my new Crooked Pass Security series.
