Voice recognition mistake of the day: Then I got ready for my “not a date” with God and his kids.

That’s Todd, not God! I’m a couple of chapters into the next Accidental Detective novel, which brings Kate back to her home neighborhood after the last two mysteries, which were set at a motel and then on the Grand Canyon Scenic Railroad.

I got two pieces of good news last week. The first 3 Accidental Detective humorous mystery novels will come out in audio! PLUS HarperCollins contracted for the mass market paperback rights of Something Shady at Sunshine Haven. (Mass-market is the small paperback size. Right now they’re in trade paperback.) I don’t know yet when the new versions will be out.

I went on a very strenuous hike in central New Mexico a few days ago and saw some incredible petroglyphs! This area is far off the beaten path on BLM land.

Author Lyndi Alexander liked my cat café romance series name and mentioned a real-life shelter: “FurEver Friends is a non-profit, no-kill, all volunteer rescue in Asheville, NC that is committed to improving the welfare of stray, abandoned and unwanted cats and kittens. Since 2002, they have saved over 13,000 animals! They have adoptable animals at several locations around Asheville. I have been a foster fail with them about five times, but have also had loads of foster kittens and cats come through.” Read her story of fostering cats and kitens here!

Visit the FurEver Friends shelter to shop their bandanas, leashes, and clothing. If you would like to contribute, their Paypal name is FurEver Friends Animal Rescue Network. 100% of donations go directly to save kitties.
