Sunday Baseball Vibes

Good morning! We had quite a storm last night, but I’m hoping that it brought some cooler weather with it! It’s actually been too hot to go to the beach, my favorite place to be! After brunch with a friend and a quick trip to the store for some necessities, I’m hoping to hit the beach and get some reading done. Maybe come home and watch some baseball. We’ve been watching the Orioles and Rangers now. Our new teams! Hubby is following the Orioles because of Alonso, and I’m a Rangers fan because of Nimmo. Speaking of baseball, the Marauders box set of two baseball-themed romances is currently FREE in Kindle Unlimited. Download your copy today at https://amzn.to/4vqpngY.

I pray for you to have another amazing 250 years and to keep you safe from those who would tear you down.

Happy National I Forgot Day!

Happy National I Forgot Day! I don’t know about you, but lately I forget a lot of things, like what I was about to do a minute earlier when I said I had to do… I think it’s because I have so much on my mind. Besides writing #3 in the new Crooked Pass Security K-9 Division series and creating a new series for you, I’m involved on the board of my condo and local writing group. Did I forget to mention the fabulous grandbaby? We are having so much fun with him this summer. He loves going to the beach and is getting the hang of playing in the waves. How about you? Do you find yourself forgetting things? Like maybe picking up your copy of DARKNESS CALLS, a book of my heart? If you haven’t already read this dark and edgy vampire romantic suspense, you can grab it for only 99 cents at https://amzn.to/4oUJ7qw.

Exciting Cover Reveal DARKNESS CALLS

DARKNESS CALLS is a book of my heart for several reasons. I was in a very dark place in my life when I decided to write it. 9/11 had just happened, and the emotional turmoil from it scarred me. I’d sold nine books to a publisher, but they decided to close down the line, and a new editor wasn’t receptive to a dark paranormal romantic suspense. The agent I had at the time didn’t believe in the book and didn’t do much to sell it. Back then, indie publishing wasn’t an option. But I believed in the book and wrote it, putting a lot of my angst into it. What came out changed my career. To my surprise, the publisher interested in it was Harlequin, and they bought it! They had nowhere to put a novel that was Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets The X-Files. But they found a spot, and three years later, the fourth book in the series launched the Nocturne line. There are at least a dozen books in the series, but the first book, DARKNESS CALLS, will always be special, and because of that, I decided to honor it with a brand new cover by a fabulous artist. What do you think? If you haven’t already read this book of my heart, you can grab it for only 99 cents at https://amzn.to/4oUJ7qw.

Who’s Your Favorite Pupper?

BURIED TRUTHS is the last book in the Crooked Pass Security series, and over the four books, you’ve seen several different K-9s. A corgi who failed out of K-9 unit training. A pit bull rescued from a shelter. A German Shepherd trained to track, and finally, a large and protective Cane Corso. I’d love to hear which of them was your favorite pupper! And don’t worry that you won’t see any more pups from me. With the K-9 division spinoff starting in November, you’ll get to see lots more dogs in the stories. I’m also including them in my current work-in-progress! If you haven’t pre-ordered K-9 TRACKER or grabbed all the books in the Crooked Pass Security series, you can do so at https://amzn.to/3RGlxBp.
