I’m so excited about finishing COLD CASE K-9, #3 in the Crooked Pass Security series. This was a heart-tugging but also scary story to write. Colorado Bureau of Investigation agent Gabriella Ruiz is asked to assist in finding a missing hiker and Gabriella believes the hiker may have been taken by the serial killer who also took her sister nearly a decade earlier. The hero, Diego Rodriguez, is a new K-9 handler for Crooked Pass Security and he’s been asked to help since the CBI isn’t sure about Gabriella’s serial killer theory. Together with his K-9, German Shepherd Poppy, Diego will help Gabriella with the investigation and with handling the truth about her sister’s disappearance. As for scary, this is one sick serial killer! I can’t wait for you to read this story as well as the other books in the Crooked Pass Security series. You can pre-order the first two books at https://amzn.to/3D8av0I.

I want to wish my daughter Samantha Ann a very happy release week! Samantha’s new book – FAN CAFE – is out but mom is not allowed to read it because it’s too spicy. But I was lucky to grab a copy right off the presses and get it signed! If you like spicy romance books, this one’s for you! You can grab it at https://amzn.to/3X8FPmW and here’s a little teaser for it!

Bridgette wanted nothing more than to see her favorite K-pop group CLAR1T in concert when they came to her city on their first US tour. Unfortunately, the universe had different plans and instead she was stuck working at the late-night café she owned. Just before she was about to close for the night a young man walks in to order a coffee. Despite his face being concealed by a baseball cap and face mask, something was familiar about him.

Woo Shin needed to escape the pressures of producing CLAR1T’s next album. While trying to find a bar to numb the anxiousness he found solace in a café and with the kind and rather stunning café owner.

The fangirl takes her bias wrecker on a late-night adventure through her city’s streets and with her in his arms he not only finds inspiration but someone who can help him fight his inner demons.

I’ve seen dozens of red robins here and there and I’ve been checking the ground for any signs of my snowdrops! So far none and I don’t have any crocuses planted so that won’t help.

If you want to get a jumpstart on spring (and summer), my beach read ONE SUMMER NIGHT is specially priced at 99 cents at https://amzn.to/3EHkWZE.

I confess that hubby is probably way more romantic than I am. He’s really been the one to think of the nicer Valentine’s Day gifts. Lovely handmade chocolates top my list of the best gifts he gave me. But I think I gave him some longer lasting gifts since I dragged him to the movies and they turned out to be two of his all-time favorite movies: Groundhog Day and Gladiator. What about you? What’s the best Valentine’s Day gift you ever got? P.S. Treat yourself to some romance on Valentine’s Day with some of my 99 cent specially priced books at https://amzn.to/4hxz6uP.
