A Special Giveaway

I was thinking of doing a special giveaway to celebrate the release of K-9 TRACKER. Since some of the scenes are set on the Jersey Shore, I was going to create a shore-themed glass bottle similar to the photo below. The bottle would be a pump bottle filled with fragrant hand soap and would be decorated with sand, beads, and shells. What do you think? Would you like something like that as a giveaway? P.S. You can pre-order K-9 TRACKER and grab the other books in the Crooked Pass Security series and K-9 spinoff at https://amzn.to/3RGlxBp.

Meet Fun K-9 Agent Havana

K-9 TRACKER, the first book in the Crooked Pass Security K-9 Division spinoff, hits shelves on November 24! It’s an emotional story about a young woman trying to find out what happened to her Army father when he disappeared twenty years earlier. The K-9 Agent in the story is a beagle named Havana! Havana is a big help in tracking various scents. Beagles have amazing scent capabilities and follow their noses everywhere, including to where you hide your snacks! That scent is a reason why beagles can gain weight because they love food. My hubby had a beagle named Spotty who was so big, I thought he was a Bassett Hound. Beagles also have a unique “bay”, and to the dismay of many, they use that bay often. A-roo-roo. A-roo-roo. Beagles love being with people and other dogs and crave affection. Because of that, Havana is also a great fit for the story because of how he emotionally supports the heroine at difficult times in the story. As for that white tip at the top of their tail, it’s so hunters can spot them in tall underbrush. I think you’ll love Havana when you read K-9 TRACKER. You can pre-order a copy today and grab the other books in the series at https://amzn.to/3RGlxBp.

Fun Baseball Game and Romance

Happy Friday! Hubby and I love baseball and love going to a fun baseball game! We’re not far from a local minor league ballpark and will go to watch a game. That night, we scored $2 seats to see the Blue Claws play an Orioles affiliate. We always enjoy it because they have giveaways and a mascot run. In homage to a true New Jersey favorite, the mascots are pork roll, egg, and cheese. For all the North Jersey folks, Taylor Ham is pork roll, but not all pork roll is Taylor Ham. It’s an ongoing battle between North and South Jerseyans. If you love baseball as much as I do, but also love romance novels, check out my Marauders baseball romances. They are free on Kindle Unlimited or only 99 cents each! Grab your copies today at https://amzn.to/4vqpngY.

Amazing Visit to Sandy Hook

You guys overwhelmingly chose a beagle the other day as a choice for a K-9 Agent! Yeah! I think you’ll love seeing Havana, the beagle in K-9 TRACKER. Havana is a great scent hound, but also very intuitive and affectionate, which is necessary in this emotional story about a young woman who is trying to prove that the father who disappeared twenty years earlier did not go AWOL. Crooked Pass Security has been hired to find out the truth and help the woman restore military benefits to her family so her mother can get a much-needed medical treatment. There are scenes set in a rural area in New Jersey and Fort Dix, but the big action scenes are on Sandy Hook, which is home to Fort Hancock, a Nike Missile site, and an assortment of batteries that were built to protect the area. Here are some photos, and if you haven’t pre-ordered your copy of K-9 TRACKER or grabbed any of the other books in the Crooked Pass Security series, you can do it at https://amzn.to/3RGlxBp.

Awesome K-9 Name

My proposal for #3 in the Crooked Pass Security K-9 Division Spinoff is off to my editor! Yeah! Now it’s time to brainstorm a new series, and I have a great idea that I think you’ll love. Also, and more importantly, THANK YOU for helping me pick a name for the Doberman in #3. After checking out all the recommendations, BEAST was the name that stuck in my brain. Thanks, Kym A., for the suggestion, and look for a mention in that book’s dedication! If you want to pre-order the first book in that spinoff series, K-9 TRACKER, it’s available at https://amzn.to/3RGlxBp.

Laughing Corgis or Fun-loving Beagles

One of the most fun parts of writing the K-9 series is choosing the dog that fits each story. For CLIFFSIDE KIDNAPPING, I turned the idea of a K-9 agent on its head by having a K-9 unit dropout corgi. That’s because that story needed a dog that would bring emotional relief, and a corgi, with its always-grinning, almost laughing face, was perfect. For my upcoming December release, K-9 TRACKER, I needed a good scent dog to help find a missing soldier. Although I always associate beagles with Snoopy and my husband’s overweight pet Spotty, beagles are great scent dogs, and also fun-loving. A good mix for a story that has a lot of emotion since the heroine is dealing with her father’s disappearance and her mother’s illness. A bit of comic relief, along with great scenting skills was a perfect fit. So, which dog do you love best: a corgi or a beagle? P.S.
