Happy New Year! How about a sensible, enjoyable resolution? Read more this year! (Unless you already read as much as humanly possible. In that case, keep it up!)

Voice recognition mistake of the day: This comes from my work in progress, Pride and Prejudice at the Cat Café. Liz is having dinner with Dr. Collins. (In the original, Mr. Collins was a pompous, rambling vicar who wanted to marry Lizzie. In my story, Lizzie is a PhD candidate and Dr. Collins has a postdoc position.)

“Is the veal good? I'm sure it is. Video for me, and for the young lady.” He smiled and nodded at Liz.

She refuses the veal and orders lasagna. Later: He praised evil...

I guess voice recognition has trouble with "veal" and thinks it's an evil video. I'm hoping to get that book – seventh in the series – out in February. Visit the Furrever Friends Sweet Romance series on Amazon US or Amazon UK or see the series with links to all retailers.

My next release is the Accidental Detective book 6, Someone Rotten Riding the Rails. Preorder it now for delivery January 30!

Or if you are behind on the series, now's the time to catch up. In the Accidental Detective humorous mystery series, a witty journalist solves mysteries in Arizona and tackles the challenges of turning fifty.

A BookBub book review for Someone Rotten: “A wedding on a train between rival Russian mafia families. What could go wrong? This book is a nail biter and I had a hard time putting it down. I just needed to know what happened next. It is the perfect mystery story; interesting and unpredictable.”

Ran into some old friends while hiking. Well, maybe they're not exactly friends, but they're definitely old! These petroglyphs in the New Mexico desert are probably hundreds of years old.

Ferret Filosophy: Christmas may come and go but a cozy stocking is always in season.
