Picture this (said in your best Golden Girls Sophia voice): You’re on a cruise in paradise when suddenly the boat starts to sink. You’ve got only seconds to grab 3 things, rush to the lifeboat, and row to a nearby deserted island. I’d grab my laptop and hope the island had wifi (silly I know), my cat Slate, and coffee (because I could read books on my computer). What would you grab? P.S. If you’d grab a book, how about ESCAPE THE EVERGLADES that comes out tomorrow! You can snag your copy at https://amzn.to/3VEUDYQ.
Hard or Soft Tacos?
I’ve been lucky to have visited Mexico dozens of times for work and experience its wonderful culture, people, and food. In my Jersey Shore area, we have quite a number of Mexican restaurants. My new love is tacos birrias which are tacos that you can dunk in a flavorful liquid made from cooking the beef for the tacos. Birrias are made with soft tacos but I have to confess that I like hard tacos better. What about you? Hard or soft tacos? P.S. – If you’d love to read stories set in Mexico that were inspired by some of my trips, grab a copy of AZTEC GOLD or THE FIFTH KINDGOM. Both are specially priced at 1.99 and 99 cents at https://amzn.to/3Xsh7z4 and https://amzn.to/4cmK2su.
This or That: Strong Hands or Sexy Eyes?
There are lots of things you might notice about a man right away. That delicious triangle of broad shoulders and lean hips. Their height or lack of it. Abs and butts. But what about other features like a strong jaw with an evening beard. A head of thick hair you want to rake your fingers through. Or maybe today’s This or That: Hands or Eyes? I’m a sucker for a man with light eyes but I also love strong hands on a man. I find a man’s hands very sexy. What about you? Are you more attracted by a man’s hands or his eyes, the proverbial window to the soul? P.S. – There are only 6 days until the release of ESCAPE THE EVERGLADES, #2 in the South Beach Security K-9 series. If you haven’t started this series yet, it’s not too late.

Happy National Egg Day!
It’s National Egg Day! Nom nom! Eggs are one of my favorite foods which I guess is why I love breakfast so much. My fav way to eat eggs is fried because I just love the yolk part. I know a lot of people don’t like that and prefer scrambled eggs. What about you? Do you love scrambled, fried, or some other way? Of course, the only wrong way to eat an egg is without bacon! LOL. P.S. – I can’t believe there are only 22 days left until the release of ESCAPE THE EVERGLADES, the second book in the South Beach Security K-9 series. All books are standalone with connected characters. It’s also not too late to grab your copy of the first book in the series, the action-packed and romantic SABOTAGE OPERATION! You can download the series at https://amzn.to/3Kt2G5Q.
Country Mouse City Mouse
As part of my daughter’s baby shower, we asked people to bring a book that she could read to the baby. We had a number of wonderful contributions to the baby’s library. One of my favorite stories as a child was Richard Scarry’s The Country Mouse and the City Mouse. Being a suburban child, visits to the city were such an exciting idea, just like the country mouse. Having worked in the city for far too long, I now love living in a small town which is very much more country than city. How about you? Would you love a country cottage somewhere or a city home? P.S. The beach mansions in ONE SUMMER NIGHT started off as beach cottages that grew and grew over the years. ONE SUMMER NIGHT is specially priced at 99 cents.

Pine Trees or Palm Trees & Good News!
It seems like spring weather is finally coming this week which means I’ll get to spend some time on the beach, reading under my umbrella. The beach is my happy place and yes, there are some palm trees since people bring them into their yards for the summer season. Of course, not like in Florida where the South Beach Security K-9 series is set! Or where…and here is where the good news comes…the SBS Colorado Spinoff will take place! I’m happy to say I’ll be writing another 4 books in the series and even more fun, you’ll get to visit with Rhea and Jackson from COLD CASE REOPENED, one of my fav books! So look for pine trees in the future SBS books. Now for today’s This or That! Do you prefer places with palm trees or those with pine trees? P.S. – Just one more day until the first book in the K-9 series — SABOTAGE OPERATION — hits the shelves!

This or That: Romance Novel Heroes Matt or Carlos?
It’s been a long time since we had a little Man Candy for our This or That, so today’s choice will hopefully be interesting. Meet Matt Perez and Carlos Ruiz, the heroes of SABOTAGE OPERATION and ESCAPE THE EVERGLADES. Matt and Carlos are Marines who served with Trey Gonzalez, the acting head of South Beach Security. Matt is a K-9 Agent assigned to protect stable owner Teresa Rodriguez whose horses and people are threatened by a series of attacks. Carlos is a single dad who is trying to run a business, raise a ten-year-old son, and investigate the untimely death of his wife in a car crash. He’s not looking for romance until SBS K-9 Agent and security expert Natalie Rodriguez walks into his life. Matt and Carlos are both handsome, I think, but very different looking. On today’s This or That, who do you think is handsome? Matt or Carlos?
