Guess what?? I’m trying something I’ve never tried before ~ working on two books at one time. I plan to work on the cozy …
Lying to the Police…
It’s the 4th of July week! And now I can say the year is definitely half over! Forgive my bad math a couple of weeks ago. Never was one of my strong subjects, in fact, the only “D” I ever made was in math. The sale on Justice Delivered ended Sunday night, but guess what?? The ebook of Justice Betrayed, …

More Dumb 9-1-1 Calls
Did you know we are over halfway through the year! Where did the first six months go??? I just finished the first round of edits for the first Natchez book, Standoff and they have been accepted. Now they will go to the editor I call the Plausibility Police. She is so good. She makes sure everything in my story is …
Called 9-1-1 Lately?

And a little later I’ll do a workshop on brainstorming. If you’re a writer and are ever looking for a writers retreat that leaves you refreshed …
Can You Insure It?
I am halfway through my edits. Hope to be done by the time you are reading this!! And yes, there’s a LOT of red on the page. 🙂 Some authors prefer writing the first draft and really get excited about it. I get excited, but it’s the HARDEST work I’ve ever done! The whole time I’m drafting I keep telling …
Scratching My Head
I had a great time last week visiting my family and I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day! Yesterday I posted a photo of our National Cemetery where boy scouts had placed over a thousand flags on graves. I love how Dr. Richard Mabry puts it: “Take a moment and remember the men and women who’ve made the ultimate …
When Crime Goes Awry

I’ve titled it Code Pink ~ Stolen Baby Here’s the tagline: It’s been five years since someone stole Holly Jordan’s baby boy. Armed with new software that can predict how he would look today, she enlists the help of cold case Detective Jake Prescott to …
From the Blotter
This week I signed books at Barnes and Noble near Memphis and had a ball. It was great connecting with readers, most who had never heard of me. 🙂 Great way to stay humble! But I almost sold out of books and that’s a good thing. And Norma, in the photo, bought two books! Now on to last week’s Mystery …
Can People Really Be This Dumb?
Saturday, May 4, I had fun signing books at my nearest Barnes & Noble in Tupelo, Mississippi. Sad to say, it took me a while before I understood why everyone went around saying, “May the 4th be with you…” I was blessed to sell over half the books they ordered. Ann Cooper in the photo was my best customer! Now …
