Voice recognition mistake of the day: "Kraken arm across her shoulders...." That would be a very different book from the one I was writing, which merely has a man who "draped his arm across her shoulders.


I hope you’re having a good summer and stayed comfortable. Ferrets Panda and Bear Bear have their own ideas about what’s comfortable.

Novels Alive gave book 2 five stars and said, “I liked Kate. She’s smart and savvy. I loved all of the secondary characters that made up the book. They made me laugh. I loved how they took charge and helped Kate solve the mystery. I was very well entertained from the first page to ‘the end.’ I enjoyed Something Deadly on Desert Drive very much. If the reader wants to escape reality for a little while, try this book. It will do the trick.”
