I have lots to be thankful for and plenty to anticipate in the month of December. 

December 1st: The book birthday for The Body in the Hayloft. The third book in the Rose Creek Mystery series is available now for pre-order.
Bookstore owner Emily believes cats and mysteries go together, and she just might be right. During an equestrian workshop at the Double C ranch in northeast Oklahoma, a pampered Persian housecat leads Callie to a woman in a hayloft. The Rose Creek Reads book club springs into action, investigating the meaning behind the woman’s mysterious final words.

December 20th: I make a rare in-person appearance at the Winter Bash. My writing group plans to share a table, offering our published novels, children's books, and adult coloring books.
Meet over twenty local authors, including me, Merida Bass, Jeff Schmoyer, and Deborah Brewer.

December 31st: The book birthday for Grandpa's New Year's Relocation. The first book in the Ninja Grandparent Placement Mystery series, co-authored with my daughter Merida, will be available at Winter Bash.
A mysterious ninja kidnaps a lonely senior citizen and places him with a family in need of a grandparent. Barry Strong, a seventy-year-old bodybuilder and widower, isn’t ready for romance. When his New Year’s Eve dance partner leads him away from the party, he attempts to resist her charms. Until a bag drops over his head.

​Whew! I have a lot happening in December!
