This or That: Sweet or Savory Pizza

When my daughter was little, our favorite ritual was getting pizza on Friday night, whipping out the TV tray tables, and watching animated cartoons together. Half of our pizza was always pepperoni since that’s my daughter’s favorite. The other half varied but my favorite combo was onions and mushrooms. Some people like to go sweet on their pizzas and do ham and pineapple. I have to confess, I’ve never tried that although I have had dessert pizzas with Nutella and fruit. What about you? Do you like savory or sweet on your pizza? Pepperoni or ham and pineapple? P.S. I love Jersey Shore style pizza which is very thin and crispy. I can imagine Maggie and Owen from ONE SUMMER NIGHT cuddling while eating some pizza and watching a movie! ONE SUMMER NIGHT was a Publishers Weekly Top 10 Fall Romance and now it’s specially priced at 99 cents. Grab your copy today at https://amzn.to/4grtbX3.

This or That: Military or Firefighter Hero

Many of the heroes in the South Beach Security series and its K-9 Division spinoff have been military heroes, although I have had a psychologist, real estate agent, and tech geniuses as well. In the upcoming Crooked Pass Security series I also have several military heroes. That made me wonder whether I should change it up in a new series and one kind of hero immediately came to mind in light of current events: a firefighter. I’ll just have to figure out how being a firefighter works into a romantic suspense novel. What do you think? Would you like to see more military heroes or a change of pace like a firefighter? P.S. The first book in the Crooked Pass Security series is CLIFFSIDE KIDNAPPING and features a female tech genius heroine and a military hero who’s now a CBI Agent. It’ll be out in July 2025.

This or That: Breakfast or Dessert

I love breakfast, possibly because I love eggs and bacon. I almost always order breakfast if we’re going to a diner for dinner. What about you? Do you love breakfast more than dinner? P.S. It’s only a few months until the release of CLIFFSIDE KIDNAPPING but in the meantime, it’s not too late to grab your copy of DANGER IN DADE and the other books in the South Beach Security K-9 series!

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.

This or That: Call or Text

Whenever I want to reach out to my daughter, I find that it’s far easier to text her than to call her. This younger generation seems to respond to texts better than calls. Personally, I prefer to reach out to someone with a call rather than a text. Despite that, I’ve resolved myself to text more with my daughter and some others since they’re more responsive that way. What about you? Would you rather call or text? P.S.

This or That: Hot or Chilly Vacations

I am not a fan of winter at all. I live for spring and summer and being able to be on the beach or take long strolls along the boardwalk. That’s why I’m counting the days until I can head to the fabulous Coastal Magic Convention in Daytona Beach in February. It’s a fun reader conference and there’s some warmer weather as well! Plus, spring training and visiting a friend! All good things. What about you? Come the winter months, do you dream of a vacation in a hot spot or hitting the chilly slopes? P.S. If you haven’t already snagged your copy of DANGER IN DADE, you can grab it and KILLER IN THE KENNEL today at https://amzn.to/4dt8sk3.

This or That: New Year’s Eve

We have a running tradition of spending New Year’s Eve with some good friends. Sometimes we go out for a nice meal but we also will sometimes work together to make a special dinner. It all depends on our mood. After the meal, we’ll pick a movie to watch until it’s time to turn on one of the New Year’s Eve shows and await the coming of the New Year. What about you? Do you stay in on New Year’s Eve or do you go out to a party or other fun event? P.S. If you’re staying in for a quiet night at home, how about picking up a copy of DANGER IN DADE? Or maybe curl up with a copy of KILLER IN THE KENNEL if you don’t already have it. You can grab your copies today at https://amzn.to/4dt8sk3.
