Category: Fun Friday

I recently got a shipment of books, including several that have brand new covers for some personal favorites like To Catch a Princess and the At the Shore Contemporary Romance series. I’m so excited to have these for my upcoming trip to Readers Take Denver and A Day of Wine, Romance and More! I can’t wait to go to these events and if you’ll be in the area, I hope you can come by! All these books are available online and you can also order autographed copies at my website.

Please put on your thinking caps because I need a little help! I’ve written two books set in Mexico that have Aztec themes and I want to bundle them into a box set and need a title. AZTEC GOLD is about a missing archeologist, the woman determined to find him and an Aztec demon demi-goddess. In THE FIFTH KINGDOM, a professor and a CIA Agent are trying to stop terrorists from finding an Aztec relic that may have incredible powers, possibly time travel (I don’t want to spoil it in case you haven’t read it yet.) Some of the possible titles are in the image I’ve posted but I’m not sure I’m in love with any of them. I’d love to hear which one you like or if you think you’ve got a better one and I choose it, you’ll get an acknowledgment in the book as well as an autographed copy of the book! Thanks for helping out. P.S. – if you haven’t read these yet, they’re both FREE on Kindle Unlimited or available for purchase for only 99 cents as my way of thanking you.

There were so many fun things about writing the K-9 spinoff to the South Beach Security series. First, I love showing you what’s happening with all the couples from the first three books. Second, I had a great time researching what kinds of dogs would be right for each of the books in light of what the suspense would be! Last, but not least, I loved giving the military heroes who are now SBS K-9 agents their happily ever afters! What kind of dog is in Sabotage Operation, the first book in the series? A Belgian Malinois named Butter because in this story former Marine Matt Perez has to safeguard Teresa Rodriguez, the owner of a thoroughbred racing stable. Belgian Malinois are wonderful for herding and protection as well as tracking down the attacker who is threatening Theresa. You can read more about Sabotage Operation at https://amzn.to/3MGpsJ7. P.S. – Did you know Belgian Malinois are named after the Belgian town of Malines?

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, let’s talk about love! There’s puppy love and love at first sight. Second chance love. What about undying love? Do you think it’s possible that love survives death? That idea was one of the inspirations for Ghost of a Chance, my novella about a group of people who have been tasked with solving a decades old mystery and the hero and heroine who find unexpected love. So, do you believe love can survive death and there’s ghosts just waiting to be reunited? While you answer that, here’s a teaser for Ghost of a Chance which you can download at https://amzn.to/4bu4Y0Z.

What would you do to win a million dollar prize?

True crime writer Tracy Gomez is unsure of what to make of the unusual invitation from New York City attorney Peter Angelo: A one million dollar prize to anyone who can solve the mystery of three deaths which had occurred nearly eighty years earlier. Tracy desperately needs the money to fix up the old inn she’s just inherited and solving the crime will also provide welcome publicity to help her sagging writing career. But accepting the invitation brings unexpected challenges, like spectral help during a séance and Tracy’s attraction to the sexy attorney monitoring the contest. Does Tracy only have a ghost of a chance to discover the secrets of the past or can she win a prize far better than a million dollars?

I’m headed off to the Coastal Magic Conference and since Valentine’s Day is also coming up, I thought it would be nice to do my nails with something fun to celebrate both events! Please help me choose! Just leave the number of the design you’d like to see down in the comments section! As for me, I’m partial to either 3, 7, or 4, which has a Banksy kind of vibe to it.

Hey, you know what’s not fun? Being afraid of heights like I am! So share if you have a fear of something while I tell you what I did about my fear of heights when I found myself in Mexico City, staring at the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon in Teotihuacan. For some reason, I knew I had to climb! Not an easy feat since the Pyramid of the Sun is one of the tallest in the Americas. I huffed and puffed my way up to the top, and even posed for an epic pic along the way. But the real test was getting back down. I’m talking steep slopes that made you feel like you’re free-falling! I decided to slide down on my butt, but hey, I did it! Not only that, the trip inspired Aztec Gold, a story about a missing archeologist, the woman who is determined to find him, and an Aztec demon demi-goddess who threatens their happily-ever-after!
