The last books in the Crooked Pass Security Series were set in Colorado, but for the new K-9 Division spinoff, I wanted to take you to different locations in the U.S. First up, my home state of NJ for K-9 TRACKER. Many of the early scenes take place in and around Fort Dix, but the climactic final scenes are set on Sandy Hook and in the various military installations that are left there. It’s really a fascinating area since Fort Hancock helped protect the NYC Metropolitan area for two centuries! Pre-order your copy today at https://link.amazon/B0eQZtNcJ.
It’s been a while since I’ve shared some #ThrowbackThursday photos! I needed to recharge my creative batteries so my sister and I met a friend to visit Longwood Gardens. We lucked out since it was a beautiful fall day and just the right temp for walking around to see the lovely sights in the gardens. There were mums everywhere as well as pumpkins in all kinds of fun displays. Inside the conservatory, there were the orchids and cacti and we were lucky to catch the water gardens before they get shut down for the winter. If you ever get a chance to go, DO IT! It’s an amazing place. We’ve already booked our date to see the Christmas lights and I’ll share those with you! P.S. OMG, only 19 days until the release of #1 in the Crooked Pass Security K-9 Division series. K-9 TRACKER hits shelves on November 24 release. Preorder your copy today at https://link.amazon/B0eQZtNcJ.
I wish I could tell this little third grade girl that everything would work out. That leaving Cuba would take her to a better place. That her dream of becoming a writer would come true in ways she could never even imagine. I am so grateful for the life I have here and all the opportunities it has given me. It could never have happened in Cuba or any other socialist or communist country. God Bless America and keep her safe from those who would tear her down.

Happy Halloween! I miss the days when my daughter would get dressed up and go trick or treating! I loved seeing the costumes on the kids and parents, too! Her elementary school used to have a Halloween Hop and everyone would go in costume. I decided to share photos today of some of our Halloween memories!
Picture this: A woman with a terminal illness undergoes a radical treatment to save her life. What she doesn’t know is that the team behind the treatments has a secret, evil agenda and that the treatments have a troubling side effect: they make her glow. That’s the premise for SINS OF THE FLESH, a romantic suspense with a touch of science fiction and paranormal elements. Readers loved it, but couldn’t believe one thing: that Caterina, the heroine of the story, has glowing skin. The funny part about this is that’s real science. In fact, the year I released the book, the scientists who developed the process of using glowing green fluorescent proteins to track gene expression won the Nobel Prize! Definitely a case where truth is stranger than fiction. In case you still need some proof, you can visit YouTube to see real glowing cats using this science. Even better, grab SINS OF THE FLESH at https://link.amazon/B080zpKyi. It’s the first book of the SIN HUNTER series which features standalone stories with connected characters and action-packed stories with a blend of suspense, sci fi, and paranormal elements.
Happy Birthday in Heaven, Mom! I think about you and Abuela every day. I wonder what you would think about all that “las niñas” have accomplished in their lives and whether you’d be proud. I think you would be, and I wish you could have met all your beautiful grandchildren and great-grandbabies. God took you way too soon. I named the family matriarch in THE FAMILY SHE NEVER MET after my mom because she has the same indomitable spirit that my mother possessed. My mom was an amazing woman who got us out of Cuba after Castro and communism stole her country. She made a life for us here, and before feminism was even a thing, she made sure to teach her girls that they could accomplish whatever they wanted with determination and hard work. I remember a high school friend telling me once that our family was different, and I thought it was because we spoke Spanish at home and ate different foods. She told me that it wasn’t because of that. It was because my mom told us that we were going to college, and she’d never heard that before in her world. It gave her the determination to go to college like we were doing. Thank you for instilling those beliefs, Mom. They have served me well over the course of my life. I miss you and hope you are happy up in heaven.
