The Grumpy/Sunshine trope has become very popular, but I confess that I still prefer sweetheart heroes like Mark Dillon from BURIED TRUTHS. Mark is a K-9 police officer on a hike when an injured and very confused woman stumbles into his path. Mark jumps into action, only to discover that the woman can’t remember her name or anything about why she’s there. She only knows that she’s in danger. Mark’s protective instincts kick in, and even after it appears that she’s a criminal, he can’t stop caring about her because he’s a really good guy. A sweetheart. Just the kind of hero I like. What about you? Do you like grumpy heroes or sweetheart heroes? P.S. You can pre-order your copy of BURIED TRUTHS today at https://amzn.to/4sHrpb9.

There are so many different romance tropes that romance readers love, and I think two of the most popular ones are small-town romance and sports romance. Now, some of you may ask, is that why I wrote the Marauders baseball books? Actually, I wrote them years ago and only got the rights back. But because of other obligations, I didn’t get to revise and release them until last month. I love both small-town and sports romances, and I’m not sure I could pick one over the other. What about you? Do you love small-town romances, sports romances, or both? P.S. You can read the Marauders baseball romances as well as several others for FREE on Kindle Unlimited. P.S.

There are so many romance tropes that we love! One of my favorites is second chance at love, but I also love stories where it’s love at first sight! Slow burn romances? Yes, I love those also. To be honest, I just love romance novels of any kind, except possibly stories where there isn’t consent or there is harm passing as “romance.” But back to the big question: Slow burn or insta-love? Which one do you love best? P.S. I’ve got plenty of novels with both of those that are now FREE on Kindle Unlimited! Grab your copies at https://amzn.to/4ukO4Lv.

Hubby and I are television junkies. We watch everything from cooking shows to dramas to sitcoms. At night, we’ll watch TV for a few hours together, and after, I’ll watch murder and mayhem for another hour! We normally alternate between dramas and sitcoms, so I can’t say I have a favorite. What about you? Do you prefer dramas or sitcoms? P.S.

I had a friend who encouraged me to get more organized with tracking dates, goals, etc. Plus, when I saw so many people with beautiful planners filled with gorgeous images and schedules, I decided I’d also get a planner. I didn’t get just one. I got two because I usually have to book/plan for a two-year window. I filled them with lovely keepsakes and photos. Wrote in ink before realizing that dates changed so much that I really should do it in pencil or on Post-It notes. I kept it up for a year, when I realized I could not keep up by using paper. So I went to a digital calendar, especially for my social media planning. Do you use a planner? If you do, is it on paper or digital? P.S. The last book in the Crooked Pass Security series, BURIED TRUTHS, arrives in May, but don’t worry! The series spinoff, Crooked Pass Security K-9 Division, hits shelves with K-9 TRACKER in November 2026. I think you’ll love BURIED TRUTHS, which features a heroine with amnesia who may be the mastermind behind a multi-million dollar fraud. Or is she?

So much has changed in the publishing industry since my first book was published in 1999. Wow! So long ago. We’re lucky to have so many choices on how to read, from print books to e-books to audiobooks. I confess I still love having a print book in my hand. I’ll open an e-book only if I don’t have a print book or am unexpectedly waiting for something. I’m a very visual person, so audiobooks are not my thing, although I love listening to a good podcast while I’m driving. How about you? Do you like print books or audiobooks? P.S. If you love audiobooks, many of my books are available in that format. Check them out at https://amzn.to/4qxZlVM, including my new Crooked Pass Security series.
