The fourth in the Shake Shop series is available now on Amazon (ebook, print.)

I can't believe my first trade book with Love Inspired Trade is on the shelves. It takes me back to the massive Loma Prieta earthquake in '89 which made such an impression on me. Earthquakes, killers and wilderness, oh my!

Wooty woo! The first book in the Security Hounds series is out! You're going to love Wally, the INCREDIBLY naughty bloodhound!

Coming soon! I'm so excited!

“This is Noodles. He’s very easy going. His real name is Reginald, but the shelter workers named him Noodles since he has a thing for them. The noodles, I mean, not the shelter workers.”

Yes, sir! Noodles will be featured in book #3, of course, along with a new friend!

SUPER excited to have written book #8 in this series with a cutey pie boxer dog and a "trapped in the wilderness" theme. My FAVE!

Woo hoo! Tomorrow is release day! I'm so excited!

Well lookie loo hoo! It's the third in the Ice Cream Shop series up for preorder!

Oooooh! It's almost time. My favorite character in this book is Stretch, the Great Dane.

Wootie woo! A month until launch. It was bittersweet to write Jude's story since it was the last of a six book series. I'll miss that Duke family! If anyone would like to add Targeted to their "want to read" lists, I'd sure appreciate that!

Wooty woo! It's a book birthday! Excited that book #5 in my Death Valley series is launching today. Wild donkeys, explosions and romance, oh my!

Wooty woo! This is book #5 in the series. It's time to feature Nora (Jude's estranged sister), Seth (Mara's brother) and a bunch of wild donkeys (not to mention a killer, of course!)

If you would be SO kind as to add this title to your "Want to Read' list, it would bless my socks off!

Thanks every for helping this little book land on the Publisher's Weekly bestseller list for three consecutive weeks!

Thrilled to bring you the scoop! Pint of No Return, book one in this series, won second place in the Daphne du Maurier contest for mainstream fiction! So exciting!

Wooty woo! It's out in the wild today...book #4 in the Rocky Mountain K-9 series!

Woot woo! The book is out in the wild today! Hope you enjoy the second installment in the Shake Shop series!

Wooty woo! It's out in the world! I had a ton of fun writing this one. Even managed to insert a helicopter in the story which somehow made the cover. Ha!

Tik tok! The days are counting down to book four in the Desert Justice series! This book launches April 26th. So weird the way writing works, since I'm currently finishing book 6. Death Valley Hideout was fun because I got to include a whole flooded underground tunnel with a killer scene! SUCH fun!

Getting so close to launching this sweetie into the world! Coming at you on May 24th!

Oooh! A 25 book giveaway! Here's the link if you want to enter!

And.... it's out into the world! Poor Austin is gonna get dumped at the altar. Sigh. Those Dukes sure have a rough go of it in Death Valley!

Well lookie loo! It's book #4 in the series! I LOVE a good underground tunnel there's-no-hope-of-rescue type of moment, don't you?
