By the time you read this, I’ll have been up for hours, roasting some tasty pork and working on all the other dishes we’ll be serving to our guests on Christmas Eve. I hope you all have a lovely Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!
Meet Heroine Gabriella
The heroine in COLD CASE K-9 is dedicated Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Gabriella Ruiz. Gabriella and her partner, Ryder Hunt, have been assigned a case involving a woman who disappeared on a hiking trail. Gabriella is convinced that her disappearance, as well as that of several other women over the years, is the work of a serial killer. Gabriella also believes that the killer is responsible for the disappearance of her younger sister a decade earlier from a nearby scout camp. The clock is ticking, and Gabriella and Ryder turn to Crooked Pass Security and their K-9 handler, Diego, to help them find the missing hiker before it’s too late. You’ll fall in love with Gabriella and DIEGO and his K-9 Poppy, a highly trained German Shepherd. Pre-order your copy today at https://amzn.to/48qzo4R.
Meet Hero Diego
Meet Diego Rodriguez — the man you’ll be rooting for from page one. Ex-military and always a Marine, Diego is the steady, steel–spined hero leading Crooked Pass Security’s brand-new K-9 division. At his side? Poppy, his fiercely loyal German Shepherd and search-and-rescue superstar. Their latest mission throws them straight into danger: helping CBI Agent Gabriella Ruiz track down a missing hiker. Gabriella is convinced the disappearance is the work of a serial killer who’s been hiding in plain sight… the same monster she believes took her younger sister ten years ago. The clock is ticking. Old wounds are reopening. And the chemistry between Diego and Gabriella is impossible to ignore. COLD CASE K-9 delivers high stakes, deep emotion, and a K?9 hero you’ll fall in love with.

Signed, Sealed, & Delivered
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.

Happy Thanksgiving!
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.
