I received an email from my publisher today letting me know that two of my books, Murder at the Mansion and Murder at the Fortune Teller’s Table, will be on sale for $1.99 tomorrow, July 1, 2022. If you like dogs, all of my books have a variety of canines with special abilities in them. Fred, a basset hound, is in all of them. Murder at the Mansion has Jack and Jill, a pair of rescued beagles. The mansion described in the book is based on a fascinating place I stayed in Colorado called Redstone Castle. Murder at the Fortune Teller’s has two chihuahuas that are hearing assistance dogs. You can learn more on my website. Look at the “Home” and “Books” sections.

I recently attended a dog show called Woofstock. It’s based on Woodstock so I saw a lot of tie-dye, beads, and flowers. Their slogan is, “4 days of Peace, Music, and Dogs.” It was a lot of fun! The series I’m currently working on will have a book with a dog show in it. There are a lot of interesting things that go on at those events due to the competitiveness.

I had a great time at Left Coast Crime 2022 held in Albuquerque, New Mexico. These photos are from an event called Author Speed-Dating. Each author that is in it gets an opportunity to present to up to 140 people. There are 18 tables with room for 10 people. You team with another author. Each author gets two minutes to talk about their books. At the end of your time, a buzzer sounds and you’re off to another table. I gave out chocolate Hershey kisses to go with the festival in MURDER AT REDWOOD COVE called the Chocolate and Wine Festival.

I wanted to let mystery lovers know the kindle versions of MURDER AT REDWOOD COVE and MURDER AT THE MANSION are on sale today, September 18, 2020, for a 1.99

This is the first in a  mystery series set in northern California with specially trained dogs.

and windows locked from the inside.

My first book, MURDER AT REDWOOD COVE, is on sale until the end of March for a $1.99 as a Kindle edition. I just wanted to let you know! It’s a traditional mystery with no graphic violence set in a town on the coast in northern California. My main character takes over a bed-and-breakfast inn after the manager has what appears to be an accidental fatal fall from a seaside cliff. It’s a straightforward assignment until a group of crime-solving senior citizens, the Silver Sentinels, cries murder. While they are first and foremost mysteries, dogs with special training romp through the pages of all six books in the series.
