What are your fun September plans?
What are your fun September plans? I have a busy September starting with rescheduled 4th of July fireworks tonight, a family wedding tomorrow, and the fabulous Books Books Books event in Lancaster later in the month! What about you? Do you have any fun September plans? P.S. This photo is from my daughter’s fall wedding. We were lucky to have a wonderful day to have the wedding outdoors before heading inside for the rest of the festivities.

Happy World Bread Day
Happy World Bread Day! I LOVE BREAD! If I made a list of foods I’d never give up, bread would be on the list. But I also know that I have to watch my carbs, so I don’t eat bread every day. Hubby makes it tough because he’s figured out how to make sourdough bread that doesn’t take a lot of kneading. Of course, I’m to blame since I bought him the sourdough starter kit. LOL! What about you? Do you love bread? P.S. You know who makes great bread? Chefs Tony and Sara from my Hallmark movie book, SOUTH BEACH LOVE.

Why are my characters arguing?
Why are my characters arguing? For FBI Agent Diana Reyes and NYC nightclub owner Ryder Latimer, there is one truth that neither of them can accept. What is it? Could it be that they’re attracted to each other despite Diana believing he may be a suspect in a series of killings in Lower Manhattan, and Ryder is keeping a deadly secret? Because they are both fighting that attraction, they argue, especially as Diana gets closer and closer to discovering Ryder’s secret. What is it? Ryder is a centuries-old vampire. But that doesn’t make him the serial killer that Diana is chasing. Want to learn more?

Tense Teaser K-9 on a Mission
I can’t wait for you to read K-9 ON A MISSION, my May 2027 release from Harlequin Intrigue! It’s a story revolving on Crooked Pass Security’s K-9 Division solving the theft of artwork and gold from a museum. I loved writing a morally gray character, namely, Rafael “Rafe” Aguila, a retired professional thief who has no regrets about the life he’s led. Despite that, he’s become a kind of Robin Hood, helping the police solve crimes and volunteering and raising funds to improve the lives of children in the Miami community. But the heroine, K-9 handler Bailey Vega, finds it hard to reconcile Rafe’s past and his lack of guilt over his many thefts. It makes for great conflict between the two! Today I’m sharing a scene from K-9 ON A MISSION in which Rafe is breaking into the museum to attempt to figure out how it had been robbed. You can pre-order your copy today at https://amzn.to/4xHxPta
Excerpt
Shinnying to the center of the structure, he grabbed the thick gutter and lowered himself over the edge.
Luckily for him, the building had been constructed to show the wealth of its owner, which meant that the windows were topped by fancy carved limestone pediments. They provided a good handhold, and then a solid footing until he stood on the thick sill.
Balancing gingerly, he examined the window. It was painted shut. A quick look at the nearby windows confirmed they were all in the same condition. No one had come in through them.
Repeating his earlier actions, he reached the third floor and his primary goal: priceless paintings any collector would pay millions to have in their private collection.
Again, the windows were sealed shut by years of paint. Not a problem to open them, but they would delay his entry into the museum.
Satisfied he could return to achieve his goal if need be, he drifted down to the next floor.
He found purchase on the pediment with his booted feet and shifted his weight to move downward, but then the wet stone betrayed him.
His boot slid out. Gravity propelled him backward.
His heart pounded in his chest as he fell, arms flailing. He clawed out for any hold that would keep him from plummeting downward.
Breathless, he braced for impact, imagining the pointy spikes of the museum’s wrought iron fence impaling his body.
Last Days of Summer
It’s hard to believe it’s the last days of summer! It just flew by so fast, like life seems to be doing lately! Since summer is almost over, I have to ask — What’s one thing you still want to do? For me, it’s to eat some more sun-ripened tomatoes from my backyard! P.S. For those of us on the Jersey Shore, the arrival of Labor Day starts what we call Local Summer. It’s time to enjoy the quiet of the beaches for all of September and even into early October. It’s probably the best time of year on the beach. The days are slightly cooler, but still warm enough to enjoy waters that are still warm from summer!
