Latest news.

I've had a crazy/busy 2025 so far. Not to mention dealing with the searing Phoenix heat. Arizona has been so menopausal this year, it's not funny! I grew up here, so you'd think I'd be accustomed to the heat. But I get wimpier every year! Well, that, and now it gets hotter every year. But I'll take this over hurricanes, floods, shoveling snow, earthquakes, and all the rest. Although we do have some devastating wildfires up north, and some big haboobs here in the valley. That's a dust storm for all of you who don't have to deal with them. They can get so bad that you can't see the car ahead of you when driving, and you have to pull off to the side of the road with your brights on.

On to book news. I just switched my newsletter platform, so I've had to learn all over again. That's why this one looks different from my last one. However, I hope this platform will be easier to use, and I'll be able to send my newsletters more consistently.

I'm currently planning and plotting Book 2 in the Saguaro Springs series. Book 1, Mistletoe Ranch, was part of the Butterscotch Martini Girl's 2024 Kickstarter boxed set. Mistletoe Ranch will be rereleased later this year on all the usual retail outlets. I'll let you know when that hits! But since that story was so much fun to write, I've started on Book 2, so it can hopefully be released soon after Mistletoe Ranch!

I've also started working on getting my backlist into audiobooks. I'm starting with my smaller books. Take It Off will be the first one.

Seducing The Succubus, and Sleeping With Shadows are already in audio if you're looking for an audiobook to keep you busy...and warm...this summer!

I'm also continuing to re-edit and re-release my backlist, which I've regained the rights to, in both ebook and print formats.

I'm also working on updating my website. Hubby and I switched it to a new platform a few years ago, which has NOT been easy to work with. So, that switch will happen soon, as hubs and I have time. For those of you who didn't know, he's my total tech support. Technology tends to hate me! I'm lucky when email and the car key fob decide not to conspire against me on any given day!

Until next time! Stay safe out there and happy reading!
