Here's the back cover copy for the second book in the CHRISTMAS COOKIE CHRONICLES.

Come join a meeting of the First Love Cookie Club!
“On Christmas Eve, if you sleep with kismet cookies under your pillow and dream of your own true love, he will be your destiny.”

It’s Christmas time at the Horny Toad Tavern, located in the heart of Twilight, TX. Elvis is on the jukebox, the lights twinkle outside…and inside, Raylene Pringle is wondering if it’s going to be another “Blue Christmas” without her true love, Earl.

But things are about to change—because ‘tis the season for unexpected romance and a surprise mother/daughter reunion…reminding Raylene that you should never disbelieve the legend of the kismet cookies!

Happy Release Day to Jenn McKinley

Do you love mysteries? Then I have the book for you. It's release day for my buddy, Jenn McKinely. She's also a New York Times bestselling author. The book is about cats and cupcakes. What more could you want?

Melanie and Angie are determined to win the Challenge to the Chef to promote their Fairy Tale Cupcakes bakery. Mel's mentor from culinary school, Vic Mazzotta, may be one of the judges, but Mel and Angie will have to win fair and square. But, when Vic's dead body is found inside a freezer truck, Mel and Angie will need to use their best judgment to find the cold-blooded killer or they may lose more than the contest- they may lose their lives.



So let's party for Jenn's release day with a giveaway. $10.00 gift card to Amazon. Post a comment about mysteries, cats or cupcakes and you'll be entered in a drawing. I'll pick the winner on Wednesday.

Born Ready

Got the cover of Born Ready today. It's my January Blaze.

Here's the back cover blurb.

Subject: Coast Guard Lieutenant Commander
Scott Everly.

Current Status: On vacation. Mostly.

Mission: Keeping a sexy, smart-mouthed biologist out of trouble.

Obstacle: Keeping himself out of trouble... and out of her bed!

Semper Paratus. Always Prepared. It’s the Coast Guard motto. But Lieutenant Commander Scott Everly sure wasn’t prepared for the sight of red-hot marine biologist Jackie Birchard in her red-hot bikini. She’s wading in dangerous waters, and even if he’s off duty, Scott isn’t about to let this sassy little mermaid out of his sight....

With a major research project on the line, and a chance to prove herself, Jackie isn’t interested in anything resembling a romantic complication. Then again, isn’t raw, lusty sex— especially with a tasty specimen such as Scott—a basic human necessity?

After all, the U.S. Coast Guard is always prepared...and ready for action, too!
Uniformly Hot! The Few. The Proud. The Sexy as Hell!

The Wizard of Oz

I'm off to see the Wizard... Taking my 7 year old niece and 5 year old nephew and their mom to see the Broadway touring company of The Wizard of Oz.




Will have a lot of writing to catch up on when I return, but hey, sometimes you just gotta go out and have a life.

I Know it's October but My Head is in December

Okay, I know it's October, but all four novellas I'm writing are set at Christmas. I'm having to conjure up in holidays images so I thought I'd share them with you. If you're one of those people who hate that the holidays start so early, you can skip this blog.

I'm back in the town of Twilight.

And it's Christmas again.

 There's kisses for young and old.

But most of all there are cookies!

Gosh, I'm hungry. How about you? What's your favorite thing about Christmas?
