It’s National Dessert Day so what better way to celebrate than to have today’s This or That: Cake or Ice Cream! I don’t know about you, but when I dine out I sometimes look at the dessert menu to help me decide what to have for dinner. I try to leave space if there is a really good dessert on the menu. What about you? Do you do that? And if you do and there are only two choices, cake or ice cream, which one would you choose? I’d love to know. P.S.

This is a tough one for me to choose. I love traveling, seeing new places, and meeting new people. The downside: I hate flying but it’s a necessary evil. As much as I love being an adventurer, I also love being a homebody and curling up with a good book on my couch or binge-watching a television show. What about you? Are you an adventurer, a homebody, or a little bit of both? P.S. If you love stories with adventurers, check out THE FIFTH KINGDOM which is specially priced at 99 cents.

It’s true that you can’t eat just one and would you believe that if you look up “Studies on why you can’t eat just one” you’ll get dozens of articles trying to explain this phenomenon. Everything from why ultra-processed foods make us eat to how labeling them as “crunchy” is the trigger. For me, it’s that salty hit that I love! Up in Toronto, I got to try out ketchup-flavored chips. I actually liked them! Something about the mix of salt and a slight hint of tomato and vinegar did the trick. Normally I love flavored chips, like cheddar or sour cream and onion. But of course, plain chips are also tasty. What about you? Which chips do you prefer? Plain or flavored? P.S.

One of the fun parts of writing romantic suspense is deciding who the villain will be. In my upcoming South Beach Security K-9 book, KILLER IN THE KENNEL, the villain is a serial killer. It’s an exciting story as an SBS K-9 agent teams up with an unlikely hero: a real estate agent. But he’s a Gonzalez so you know he’ll rise to the challenge. In past books, I’ve had an assortment of villains but two of my favorites were MORE THAN A MISSION, which featured a spy as the villain, and TO CATCH A PRINCESS, which had a jewel thief as the bad guy. If you had to choose between the two, spy or jewel thief, which one would you choose? If you chose jewel thief, snag your copy of TO CATCH A PRINCESS at https://amzn.to/4eeIjGR.

My daughter has the ritual of having tacos on Taco Tuesday but I’m not as regimented as that. I normally make tacos whenever I pull some ground beef from the fridge. But when I do that, it also gets me thinking that maybe I should make a burger instead. Such a tough choice because I love both tacos and burgers. I have to confess, however, that burgers are probably my favorite food so you know what my this or that choice would be. How about you? If you had to choose whether tonight’s meal would be tacos or a burger, what would you choose? P.S. There’s no doubt that CIA Agent Bill Santana from THE FIFTH KINGDOM would choose tacos, especially since he’s in Mexico, tracking down terrorists who want to get their hands on an ancient relic that supposedly has secret powers.
