A book titled Something Prowling in Paradise Park has a rising moon behind the sharp stems of an agave, with a purple background, saguaro cacti, cliffs, and faint pawprints. On a background photo of purple swirling sandstone, text says Available Today - Three cases. One body. Zero chance of staying out of trouble.

5-star review: “I totally enjoyed this fast-paced and unpredictable book. The writing is really good and the characters feel like old friends that I can’t wait to catch up with. A great addition to the Accidental Detective series.”

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word.

Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025.

They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap.

Three book covers for romantic suspense novels have scenery of the Southwest. The titles are Desert Gold, Valley of Gems, and Silver Canyon, by Kris Bock. On a blue background, text says “I LOVED this book!” “What a fun, page turning read!” Romantic Suspense in the Southwest – free in KU! “Kris Bock knocks it out of the park again with her amazing ability to weave action, romance, treasure hunting, and humor into a great book!”

Throwback voice recognition mistake of the day: "She grabbed a spider from the bedroom before heading downstairs." 🕷️
That should be "sweater," (Although 🕷️ is more interesting.)

“Fast, fun, romance and adventure.”
“Kept me on the edge of my chair.”

3 standing book covers show a motel with a pool in the foreground and tall palm trees behind the building. The title is Someone Murderous at The Midnight Motel, in The Accidental Detective Series by Kris Bock. Text says: Well, if people were going to dismiss me as irrelevant, I might as well use that. Menopause wasn’t the superpower I’d choose, but no one had asked me. Text says: Well, if people were going to dismiss me as irrelevant, I might as well use that.

Steamrolling through a 3rd round of revisions with a new manuscript! So satisfying for a brainstorm to hit as I tighten up plot and pacing. Next step: send to beta readers for feedback!
Also cleaned floors today and when I moved the refrigerator it wasn't totally disgusting!
