My Thank You to You

I wanted a way to thank you all for your support and for making COLD CASE K-9 a NY Times Bestseller, so I decided to re-release some of my early baseball books with free and special pricing. It seems appropriate since pitchers and catchers reported to spring training last week! These stories are spicy and emotional, and if you love baseball, I think you’ll truly enjoy them!

Happy National Love Your Pet Day

Happy National Love Your Pet Day! I’m so glad that we rescued Slate, our little cat who’s not so little anymore. He’s such a loving cat and friendly to everyone! I’m also glad for my daughter’s pit mix Lily, who is so gentle and loving with her family. Such a sweet pup! I’ll be at the conference during the day and will check back later, but in the meantime, if you’ve got a pet, please share a photo! P.S. I think you’ll love BURIED TRUTHS, my May release in the Crooked Pass Security series, which features a heroine with amnesia who may be the mastermind behind a multi-million dollar fraud. Or is she?

Happy Lunar New Year

Happy Lunar New Year! 2026 is the year of the horse, and according to the website ChineseNewYear.net, people born under this sign are leaders who don’t give up easily and can even be reckless. They are principled people who are generally outgoing and agreeable. Because the horse is powerful and determined, they can overdo it, and so they should keep an eye on their physical, emotional, and mental health. I was born in the year of the dog, which means I am humble, courageous, helpful, and kindhearted. Pretty good, right? What about you? P.S. Besides working hard on #2 in the new K-9 division series, I have a surprise release coming up for you!! Look for it sometime in the next week or so! If you love sports romances, I think you’ll love it!

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.
