BIG NEWS! I just finished writing Book #1 in my brand-new Crooked Pass Security K-9 Division spinoff series, and I am so excited to finally share it! This series follows CPS agents as they crack long-cold cases and fight for families who were denied justice. Book One (title coming soon!) stars Nicky Garcia, who pleads Crooked Pass to uncover the truth behind her father’s disappearance 20 years ago. Branded a deserter at Fort Dix, Pedro Garcia’s case destroyed his family’s benefits — benefits they desperately need now as Nicky’s mom battles MS. Enter Cisco Alvarez and his beagle partner Havana, ready to sniff out the truth someone has tried very hard to bury. Coming late 2026 — and trust me, this mystery runs deep. While you wait…If cold cases, danger, and K-9 heroes are your jam, pre-order COLD CASE K-9! Gabriella’s sister vanished from a scout camp years ago… and now a hiker is missing on the same trail. A serial killer is running out of time — and so is she. https://amzn.to/48qzo4R.

I’ll be up early and busy cooking by the time you read this! The turkey will be in the oven, and we’ll be working on all the wonderful side dishes. It’s a lot of work, but totally worth it to be able to sit down with family and friends and celebrate Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a very special holiday to me because it’s important to be grateful for all the things that you have in your life. I am grateful to still be writing after 26 years in the business. I am grateful for my amazing family and friends. I am grateful for my health. Finally, but never least, I am grateful for all of you who take the time to chat with me online or come and visit with me at an event. It means the world to me! I hope you all have a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving.

One of my favorite things about the Thanksgiving meal is the desserts, namely, the assortment of pies available. It’s always tough for me to decide between the apple pie and pecan pie, or if I’m lucky, a sweet potato pie! What about you? If you can only pick two pies, which pies would you choose? P.S. Chef Carlo from NEVER A BRIDE has recipes for tons of different pies, but that hasn’t helped him break through to wedding planner Emma, who doesn’t believe in happily ever after. If you love friends-to-lovers/workplace romance stories, this book may be the one for you. Grab your copy of NEVER A BRIDE at https://amzn.to/2MLZRyK.

Thanksgiving is one of the loveliest holidays we have. Taking a day to be grateful for all that we have is something worth celebrating. My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is when we each take a moment to share what we are thankful for. It’s always fun to hear what the little ones have to say! What about you? Do you have a favorite Thanksgiving tradition? P.S. I am thankful that you all come to visit with me! I love spending time with you online, and it’s even better when I get to meet you in person.
