This or That: Train or Plane?

We talked about all the places we’d love to go the other day and thank you for sharing your places to go and some fun suggestions. But here’s another question: How would you go to all these places? Would you take the train or the plane? For me, it’s definitely a train (if possible) because I absolutely hate to fly. I do it only because I do like to travel and see other places, but if I can get there by train (or car) that’s my choice. What about you? P.S.

Happy National Sticker Day

Happy National Sticker Day! I am most definitely a sticker girl! I have them on my computer and also on a portable lap desk that I work on whenever I’m traveling. I also have some on my bike. Amazingly, I don’t have any bumper stickers on my car. Never liked them for some reason. What about you? Do you have stickers on things and what kinds of stickers? P.S.

Goodbye Christmas, Hello Valentine’s

It’s supposed to be warmer today which means I’ll take down the outdoor Christmas decorations! I’ve already put most of the indoor decorations away and I’ve started to flip to celebrate Valentine’s Day! Yes, I’ve become one of those people who decorates for holidays. Well, especially Valentine’s Day which is a romance author’s favorite holiday. I scored this fabulous wreath at Aldi as well as a great sweater I can use at an upcoming Valentine’s Weekend Book Signing at the Brook Hollow Winery! How about you?

Cover Reveal Cliffside Kidnapping

When I finished the South Beach Security K-9 Division series with DANGER IN DADE, I knew there were two SBS cousins who still needed their stories. But I also knew they needed new challenges and to visit with their Colorado cousins who you met in COLD CASE REOPENED. That’s how the Crooked Pass Security series was born and I’m so excited to do a cover reveal for CLIFFSIDE KIDNAPPING (July 2025), the first book in that series. Like the SBS series, all books are standalone but have connected characters! I think you’ll love seeing Sophie and Robbie get their happily-ever-afters and also find out what happened with Jackson and Rhea from COLD CASE REOPENED. P.S. If you haven’t already picked up your copies of DANGER IN DADE and the other books in the SBS series, you can snag them at https://amzn.to/3PoCWdv.

P.P.S What do you think of the new series logo?

Meet K-9 Heroine Mango

I really enjoyed creating the K-9 heroines in the South Beach Security K-9 Division series and I’m looking forward to having some interesting pups in the upcoming Crooked Pass Security series. But for today, I’m sharing a little something about DANGER IN DADE’s K-9 heroine Mango. Mango is a pit bull mix who has only recently been paired with hero Brett Madison. The two are just getting to know each other when Brett and Mango are asked to protect Chef Anita from the people who are trying to kill her. As a pit bull mix, Mango has been trained for protection and she will do her best to save Anita! If you got some gift cards for Christmas, how about grabbing your copies of DANGER IN DADE and KILLER IN THE KENNEL today at https://amzn.to/4dt8sk3?
