My 42nd book is out today -- wow!

Book birthday today! My Sleeping Beauty tale, based on the Cedar Rapids derecho, is out today. When we went through that storm, I knew I had to write a mystery about a body in the debris. Yep, that's how my mind works!😁

In my version, my Sleeping Beauty has met her prince, married him, became a widow and now, in mid-life, she has a second chance at love with a man who is with her when the body drops out of the trees at her feet.

A great start to a relationship, right?

Here's a quick link to sites where it's available TODAY!

Kicking off a new year

 I have a new newsletter out if you'd care to check (in my Newsletter tab), in which I mention a book releasing soon and one in the pipeline for release later this year.

I've also revised my timeline for releasing my big series. I'm aiming for next year to celebrate 20 years as a published author. I figure releasing 15 books in 12 months is a good way to do that, right?

Should be fun ...

Hello to 2026

 I finished the first draft of a new book this noon, hitting my own deadline that I'd set. I know it needs some tweaking here and there, but overall I think it's good. I'll let it rest for a while then review it.

I had one book out this year and my next one comes out in a couple of months. I've decided to focus this year on getting my big series (15 books) ready for self-publishing with a launch, hopefully, in July. This is a Major Goal and you heard it here first.

I sincerely hope my country can survive another year with the despot who was elected to office. I fluctuate between hope and despair. As always, time will tell.

The latest news is here!

New print books are coming in October!

 My Adventures in Retirement series is coming out in print in October -- every Friday a book releases. It took me awhile to get these ready, but they're coming! And all of them are listed on my Books site.

Hooray for another new book

 Yep, I just signed a contract for a new book. Check my latest newsletter for all the details!
