Thank God It’s Friday! I hope you all have a great weekend. I know I’m looking forward to mine and going to my very first Romanticonn. If you’ll be in the Trumball, CT area on Saturday, I’d love for you to come visit with me at Romanticonn at the Trumball Marriott. The book signing starts at 12 pm and runs until 4 pm. There is a fee for attendance, but I think you’ll love visiting with so many other authors and vendors at the event. You can find out more at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/romanticonn-2022-tickets-234015144597.
How to help your favorite authors
One of the best things about being an author is getting to meet all of you! It’s wonderful to be able to engage with you and one of the things that readers ask the most is “How can I help support you?” I gave it some thought and came up with these ten ways you can help an author without spending a cent. And again, thank you for your friendship and support.

South Beach Security K-9 Heroes
I shared some exciting news with you the other day about accepting an offer to write four more romance novels featuring K-9 heroes for Harlequin Intrigue. The books will be part of the South Beach Security series which debuts in December 2022 with Lost in Little Havana. Here’s a teaser for the heroes of the South Beach Security: K-9 Division. I thought I’d share you the K-9 heroes of the series! It was so much fun picking the dogs for the stories and giving them names that I hope will match their personalities in the books.
K-9 hero lovers can also check out Deadly Chase, a free read on Harlequin.com and Decoy Training, the first book in the K-9s on Patrol series! All books are standalone and I’m so excited to be working with my fellow Harlequin Intrigue authors Elizabeth Heiter, Maggie Wells, Cindi Myers, Leslie Marshman, and Lena Diaz.
Asbury Park and Bradley Beach Fireworks
Because of bad weather, the Asbury Park fireworks were postponed until last night which was the night for the Bradley Beach fireworks. The towns along this part of the Jersey Shore try to spread the fireworks to different days which we love because it means lots of fireworks to watch! In the photos, you can see the Asbury Park fireworks which are the ones closer to the horizon and smaller. The bigger ones are from Bradley Beach since we were closer to them. Happy 4th of July!
Jersey Shore Fireworks Photos
Sharing photos from last night’s fireworks in Belmar! Hoping the rain holds off so we can go see the Asbury Park and Bradley Beach fireworks tonight.
Great News About a New Series
In December I have a new series from Harlequin Intrigue featuring a family-run agency: South Beach Security. I’m happy to say that I just accepted an offer to do another 4 books in the series featuring the agency’s K-9 partners! Thank you to my amazing editors at Harlequin for this wonderful opportunity and to my agent for always believing in me!
Happy Times and a Book Signing!
I’ve been having a fabulous time at the Space Coast Book Lovers Conference. There have been lots of fun events for both readers and writers and it’s been great to get to meet so many new people. This morning we have an Author Feud game going on and then later the big book signing. If you’re in the Cocoa Beach area, the signing is open to the public from 3 pm to 5 pm in the Convention Center. There are over 80 authors with books in romance, paranormal, mystery, YA, children’s, Urban Fantasy, LGBT, SciFi, erotica, thrillers, Chick Lit, suspense, and more! I’m all ready for the book signing and I hope you can make it!
