Happy National Puppy Day

For all the dog lovers out there, Happy National Puppy Day! I love dogs and have loved writing the South Beach Security K-9 Division series. You’ll see more puppers in the upcoming Crooked Pass Security series, including loveable K-9 reject Corgi Delilah. But even though I love dogs, I don’t have one. A dog just wouldn’t fit in with my lifestyle but I love visiting with my sister’s dog and my grandpup Lily. What about you? Do you love dogs? P.S. If you haven’t read the K-9 series yet, grab your copies today at https://amzn.to/4hzMTQT. You can also pre-order Delilah’s story, CLIFFSIDE KIDNAPPING, at https://amzn.to/4c25xQo.

I love the Jersey Shore

I love dusk on the Jersey Shore when the sky is a melding of blue and pink and purple before night falls and the stars come out. Actually, I love a lot about the Jersey Shore. The strolls along the boardwalk. Reading under my umbrella during the summer. Dips in the ocean to cool off or search for seashells. My love for the Jersey Shore is one of the reasons I wrote the At the Shore Series. I wanted to share what I love through the stories of three best friends who have reached pivotal points in their lives. I hope you’ll check them out, especially since ONE SUMMER NIGHT, the first book in the series and a Publishers Weekly Top 10 Romance, is specially priced at 99 cents.

Happy First Day of Spring

Happy First Day of Spring! It’s a day I’ve been waiting for since the first day of winter because I just love the spring and summer months. We’ve already been able to take some strolls along the boardwalk with the baby and I’m looking forward to taking him to the beach and playgrounds and spending time with me in the garden! Spring truly is a time of new beginnings. P.S. If you love audiobooks, the first two books in the South Beach Security K-9 series are now only 99 cents with an Audible membership!

This or That: Fancy Restaurant or Takeout and Movie?

I’m all for a romantic meal at a fancy restaurant but lately with all my running around, takeout and a movie at home sound lovely. Especially if I’m in my PJs as well, LOL. What about you? Would you rather have dinner at a fancy restaurant or takeout and a movie? P.S. Maggie Sinclair’s life forces her to do the fancy route but she’s totally a takeout and movie girl, especially with her best friends Connie and Emma. As for her love life, it’s complicated. The man she loves is her family’s enemy. If you love marriage bargains and enemies to lovers, ONE SUMMER NIGHT might be your kind of book. Even better, it’s specially priced at 99 cents.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! My sister always reminds me we should celebrate since her DNA test said we were almost 20% Irish. They probably should say 20% Celtic since our grandparents came from the northern province of Spain which is a Celtic nation. I made our corned beef and cabbage yesterday since I have the grandbaby today which means sandwiches tonight. How about you? Any Irish in your family? Are you celebrating today? P.S. If you’re interested in a book with an Irish heroine, check out COLD CASE REOPENED where twin Rhea Reilly is convinced her twin sister is still alive. You’ll see more of Rhea in CLIFFSIDE KIDNAPPING, #1 in the Crooked Pass Security series. Grab your copy of COLD CASE REOPENED today at https://amzn.to/3FwkxKd. You can pre-order CLIFFSIDE KIDNAPPING at https://amzn.to/4ib334q.
