Back in July when I gathered with three other writers (see post here) Janet Ferguson gave me her latest book, The Art of Rivers. I liked it so well, I bought the e-book for my sister. I thought I’d reviewed it, but I can’t find where I did, so that’s what I’m doing this week. Be warned–while this book isn’t …
Another Week, Another Dumb Criminal
Oh, me! Time is running out! Labor Day has come and gone…that means I only have five months to write my next book! But I’m working on it as I can. Life has kind of thrown me a curveball, and I’m dealing with a few things, like edits for the first book that came in last week! I will say …
Reader Friday ~ You Belong With Me
I met Tari Farris at a Susan May Warren Deep Thinker’s retreat way back in 2012 (I think, could’ve been 2013). Even then, I knew she’d be published one day. You Belong With Me is her debut novel and it’s a good one! Amazon says it releases September 3, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they haven’t already released it! Here’s …
MY SNAKE STORY
In my comments last Friday I alluded to a snake story and told Edward Arrington that he didn’t want to hear it. He replied he would be interested and that it wouldn’t cause him to have nightmares, so here goes. It was many years ago that we owned a farm with a mobile home on it. We would sometimes spend …
Reader Friday ~ Belinda Blake and the Snake in the Grass
Oh, my. Heather Day Gilbert has a winner with her new series starring Belinda Blake. I love this character! And the story kept me turning pages way into the night. But first the opening sentence then the back cover copy: “The first time I saw Stone Carrington the fifth, I had a snake wrapped around my neck.” When exotic pet-sitter …

In two weeks, I’ll head to Riverside, California to the Romance Retreat where I will meet fans of romantic suspense. I’m nor sure what to expect, but I’ll bring a full report back and post it here. And again, thank you to all my readers who bought a copy of Summer of Suspense~ it was amazing to be #28 on …

Crazy Crimes You Won’t Believe
It’s been an interesting week…we had a really fun Facebook party Wednesday through Friday, part of which I spent in pain and on a walker after I received an injection in my knee. To say I had a bad reaction would be putting it mildly, but I’m almost fully recovered from it now, thank goodness. The picture below refers to …
Reader Friday ~ Hidden Secrets
A couple of weeks ago, I read Hidden Secrets by Jane Sketchley and I was a little peeved at her at the time. I desperately needed to sleep the second night I read the book, but it was so good, I stayed up until one a.m. to finish it! Here’s the back cover copy, and then I’ll give you my …
Tales From Murder Con
Before I get to this week’s post, I want to ask for your help. We’re trying to hit the USA Today Best Seller List with Summer of Suspense, so if you would share about it with your friends, it might put us over the top. It’s still only $.99 so it a really good bargain! And be sure to stop …
