Voice recognition mistakes of the day: Liberty rinsed her mug and put it in the destroying rack. “I bring my own teabag and have a monk there in the morning,” she said. That should be “dish drying rack” and “a mug” there in the morning.
In A Stone Cold Murder, Petra picks up a cluster of fluorite crystals in her new office and gets a vision of murder. What is fluorite? Check out “Fluorite Different Colors With Photos.” So pretty!
The Cozy Up With Kathy blog reviewed A Stone Cold Murder: “The mystery was unique and so well done. Her psychometry gives her clues, but not enough to know what exactly is going on. I love how she slowly investigates, how she slowly begins to trust, and how she gradually starts to accept her gift. Plenty of suspicious characters and red herrings keep readers on their toes. Quirky characters in an unconventional museum pulled me in to this captivating mystery. I loved this series debut and I can't wait to return to the Banditt Museum!”
In the Reluctant Psychic Mystery series, a quirky loner who can read the history of any object with her touch gets drawn into mysteries at the museum of oddities where she works.
Here's a photo I took at Chiricahua National Monument in southeastern Arizona. The rocks seen between the other rocks are called Punch and Judy, after the classic puppet pair from England, because they look like two heads yelling at each other.
Not a fan of cowboys or billionaires? Me either, which is why I made this family my version of those things, including this sweet, awkward hero. If you haven’t tried my cowboy romance series yet, here’s your chance – A Baby for the Billionaire Cowboy is FREE everywhere! When pregnant Daisy flees from the altar to Last Stand, she gets a job with the Tomlinson charity fund and dives into work, determined to build a new life for herself and her baby. Xander has a soft spot for babies, sick animals, and anyone in need. That includes his pregnant new employee, but she’s totally off-limits. Readers say, “Kris has created a beautiful family with special significant others. I highly recommend this book and series,” and “This book was so good that I read it in one evening. Once I picked it up I just could not put it down.”
