Voice recognition mistake of the day: “William fed the remaining dogs. The elaborate tree remix and the Chihuahua had been reclaimed by their owners.” Er, that's Labrador-retriever mix. 🐶

That was another from writing Pride and Prejudice at the Cat Café. The Furrever Friends Sweet Romance series features the workers and customers at a small-town cat café, and the adorable cats and kittens looking for their forever homes. Each book is a complete story with a happy ending for one couple (and maybe more than one rescued cat). “Really enjoyable story. I love these stories from the Cat Cafe.”– reader review

Bear Bear tongue! Just like the big bears, he loves his morning fish (oil). I mean, who wouldn't? 🐠🐟

Update:

I passed the halfway mark on my novel in progress! The Reluctantly Psychic series won't launch until April of next year, but I'm working on book 2 now.

Need some mystery sooner than that? Have you read all six books out in the The Accidental Detective humorous mystery series?

Monsoon season has been a little weird in New Mexico this year. We had rain early, not much rain during the typical monsoon months, and now a bit again. With or without the rain, we’ve had plenty of dramatic skies! Do you see the little bit of rainbow to the left?

Dead Wrong (A Cree Blue Psychic Eye Mystery Book 1) by Kate Allenton: "No one knows I use my psychic abilities to give my godfather at the local PD tips on cold cases. Then an attack puts my godfather in the ICU. With his life hanging in the balance, I’m forced to work with one skeptical detective and one conniving criminal. My psychic gifts couldn’t save my parents, but I’m determined to unmask this perpetrator before he strikes again." Readers call it a fun page turner. It's rated 4.5 out of 5 stars with 1,401 ratings!

Tangled In the Web (Quick Mystery Book 2) by Jeff Stanger: "Jonathan Quick’s shop has burned, he’s being blackmailed, and he’s recovering from a beat down from a roller derby blocker. Then at the Rock and Roll Auction, he discovers Donnie Duluth – one of the best art and memorabilia counterfeiters – is out of jail and Quick realizes he’s been drawn into a scam, certifying forgeries as authentic. But Quick devises a way to scam them all." It claims to be "Perfect for fans of Carl Hiaasen," whose books I've enjoyed if I'm in the mood for something a little gritty.

The Sound of Sins (Jessie Whyne Mysteries Book 1) by Danni Roan: "Jessica Whyne is working as a barista and doesn’t know what comes next. When she buys a small house near her hometown of Macon, Georgia, she is soon on the trail of the mysterious sounds emanating from her basement each night. Can a retired cop, living at her mother’s elder care facility in the old Georgia Plantation, help her find the answers?" If you like "strange happenings in an old home being renovated" this may be for you!

Series Seekers: Mystery: Discovering a new series can keep you reading for weeks! Check out these mysteries – cozies, paranormal, and traditional, with lots of humor – each part of an ongoing series so you won't run out of reads!

PS: Book 2 in my romantic suspense trilogy set in the Southwest is now on Hoopla, the library app, so you can read Valley of Gems for free (in North America if your library partners with Hoopla.)

Valley of Gems follows Desert Gold, which is also on Hoopla, and hopefully they'll get book 3 there soon. Each stands alone with a different main couple so you don't need to read them right in a row. See all my books available on Hoopla here or find my Romantic Suspense in the Southwest at all major retailers. (Desert Gold is only 99 cents/pence!)

Bonus Bear Bear: A throwback pic to when he found a piece of styrofoam and clawed it up before we realized what was happening! Does he look like he feels guilty? 😁
