I don't even know what day this is of stay-at-home. Of course, I've worked from home for years. (My primary income is from freelance work in educational publishing.) The difference now is I also have my husband working from home. Fortunately, we each have an office, and we can walk out our back door to the golf course (closed to golfers) to take a walk.

I have some fun projects. My brother and I have a release date for our Sweet Home Alabama prequel novel: May 6. Here’s the link to sign up for our Rom-Com newsletter. If you sign up, in about a week, you'll get an email link to your free preview of the new series. Felony Melanie and the Moonshiner's Cabin stands alone as a short story. Fans of the movie Sweet Home Alabama will love seeing teen Melanie in action!

Also, the fourth Furrever Friends novel should be out by the next time I send a newsletter! Romance and Rescues at the Cat Café features the artistic baristas Holly and Dustin:

Can getting stranded in a creepy house full of abandoned cats turn these enemies into friends – or even something more?

I like this pic of the ferrets because it’s a bit of an optical illusion. Which body goes with that head?

Books on My Radar:

A Suite Deal: A Clean Small-Town Romance, by Sue Gibson – an enemies to lovers romance set on a small island. Reviewers liken this to a Hallmark or Lifetime movie, if that is or isn't your thing.

Game Changer (Ruled Out Romances Book 1), by Charissa Stastny – A “clean, witty romance.” A reviewer says, “Opposites attract when the overlooked, sweet girl lands herself the popular football star in this quasi-Cinderella story....With witty dialogue and a fast-paced plot, this feel-good book will stick with you for days.”
