I thought today was going to be a lazy day, especially with the 90-degree weather we’ve had the last few days. Instead, sis and I spent the day running around! The weekend is looking hectic as well, with my monthly writers group meeting and errands to run. Sigh. I would love a nice, lazy weekend. What about you? Do you love busy or lazy weekends?

Happy Anniversary to my hubby! I can’t believe it’s been so many years since we got married! This photo is from our daughter’s wedding day. It was one of the happiest days of our lives, besides the day we got married and the days of her and our grandson’s birth! We have been blessed with such happiness and joy in our lives.

I’m currently working on #3 in the new Crooked Pass Security K-9 Division spinoff, and I need a name for the dog that will work with our hero. The K-9 is a Doberman who has been rescued from a shelter. He was surrendered there by a former owner who did not know how to handle the dog, and has been languishing in the shelter for a year. People have been afraid to adopt him because they see…

Happy National Best Friends Day! I am blessed to have so many wonderful friends, and I want to share these photos of me with them! I love spending time with them in so many different ways. There are my writer friends and my reader friends. Then there are family friends like my sister and, of course, my daughter! I am so lucky that we are best buds! I hope you are as lucky as I am and have friends…

Happy National Donut Day! I confess I don’t eat donuts all that much. I usually lean toward having a bagel. But I do have a favorite donut: the Butternut Crunch donut. Unfortunately, I rarely find that flavor anywhere. Sigh. What about you? Do you have a favorite donut? P.S. Do police officers eat a lot of donuts? I don’t know, but I do know that Robbie from Crooked Pass Security would definitely…

Happy National Cheese Day! As much as I love chocolate, if I had to choose between chocolate and cheese, I would definitely choose cheese. I love all kinds of cheeses, although I prefer sharp cheeses. If you’ve been following me the last few weeks, you know I even tried my hand at making cheese with a tasty result! LOL! What about you? Do you love cheese and, if so, what kind? P.S. Chef Carlo…

I was a bad girl and only did a little teaser of the cover reveal for you! But I can’t keep you guessing, especially since I can’t wait to see what you think about the K-9 Agent in this book, namely, a beagle! Hubby had a beagle named Spotty that he loved, and I decided it was time to use a beagle as a K-9, especially since they are such amazing scent hounds. As a breed, they have one of the…

We’re off on our road trip to attend the Annual Author and Reader Get Together at the Holiday Inn at the Cincinnati Airport! It’s about a ten-hour trip for us from New Jersey to Kentucky, and I know we’ll have a fun time during the drive. When my daughter and I went to Arkansas earlier in the year, we took turns with the driving, but since it’s a bigger car, I may do both legs since she might not…

Pick Your Place: Beach, Lake, or Pool? For all of you who have been spending time with me, you know what my answer will be! BEACH, BEACH, BEACH! I love being near the ocean and spending time on my little neck of the Jersey Shore. I love it so much, I decided to share it with you in the At the Shore series, which is set on the Jersey Shore.
