Guest post- LA Dragoni

 A life must be lost. Who will make the ultimate sacrifice?

Lawson lives a simple life: a job at a brewery, and his basketball and hockey leagues. Even his eccentric lifelong friend and roommate—who is intent on discovering time travel—doesn’t complicate things.

Then Jory appears. Lawson feels an immediate attraction to her, yet their attempts at dating end with him thinking it just isn’t meant to be. But Jory refuses to give up.

When one date ends tragically, Lawson turns to his best friend and the experimental time travel program he’s invented. But, no matter what he does, each time the reset ends with a loss.

It’s clear…a life must be lost, and Lawson is prepared to give his for Jory. But he isn’t the only one playing with time.

Will he spare Jory by forfeiting his own life? Or will someone else make the ultimate sacrifice?

Haunting Corpse is Available!!

I'm excited to say that the 9th Shandra Higheagle Mystery, Haunting Corpse, is now available in ebook and soon in print. I didn't think about it as I was coming up with the story that I made Lewis, the cat, the character finding the body in the 9th book and a Halloween book.  I should have made the book release on Friday the 13th to keep the whole spooky theme going. LOL

I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Desertion…Wrath…Murder

A runaway bride, murder, and arson has Shandra Higheagle sleuthing again. Sorting through the debris of her best friend’s childhood, Shandra believes she must solve the murder before her friend becomes the next victim. 

Stumbling upon a dead body, Detective Ryan Greer is determined to bring the killer to justice before Shandra becomes too entangled in her friend’s dysfunctional past. He hopes he’s not too late. Shandra’s deceased grandmother has already visited her dreams, putting Shandra in the middle of his investigation and danger.

Oops! Mondays post on Tuesday!

I had uploaded a guest post for later in the month and thought I'd posted for this week. There goes the brain again!

Had a great weekend with oldest daughter and her family. They came over hunting and she bagged her buck. Hubby missed his, but we prefer elk over venison anyway.  He just wanted to hunt with his daughter.

Our son-in-law  is staying with us this week and helping hubby get his shop up. All last winter he kept saying if I had my shop I could be doing this and that.  This winter he will have his shop and can dink around in there to his heart's content!

Looking forward to this month. I'll have the next Shandra Higheagle mystery, Haunting Corpse, out by this time next week. It was a lot of fun to write and went quickly because I have been thinking about this story for some time.  Here is the blurb:

Desertion…Wrath…Murder

A runaway bride, murder, and arson has Shandra Higheagle sleuthing again. Sorting through the debris of her best friend’s childhood, Shandra believes she must solve the murder before her friend becomes the next victim. 

Stumbling upon a dead body, Detective Ryan Greer is determined to bring the killer to justice before Shandra becomes too entangled in her friend’s dysfunctional past. He hopes he’s not too late. Shandra’s deceased grandmother has already visited her dreams, putting Shandra in the middle of his investigation and danger. 

Now I'm working on the next Tumbling Creek novella for another box set with 5 other authors. This novella will be about Brett Wallis the owner of the Tumbling Creek Dude Ranch Resort and his cook/ housekeeper, Melanie.  I've been gathering all the info on the families connected to the ranch and Melanie's background. I've worked on the conflict grid and am figuring out the best starting point for the story.  I know it will be Lacey and Jared's wedding day but trying to decide whether to start it before or after the wedding. I'm leaning toward after, when they are cleaning up. The title of this story will be, Love Me Anyway.  

This weekend will be filled with more company. It is that time of year! What are your weekend plans?

Savannah is Available!

I'm happy to say that the first book of my new historical western romance series, Silver Dollar Saloon is now available and I'm pleased with the response so far.

This series came after having placed a poll in my newsletter asking what kind of historical western series my readers liked to read. It turned out that most liked a setting where there were families or community that were reoccurring in the books. That's how I came up with the characters of the Silver Dollar Saloon. You'll learn about a good number of the people I populated Shady Gulch, Dakota Territory with and learn that the Silver Dollar Saloon isn't your typical saloon. But I'll keep you guessing as to why until I write Beau Gentry's book.  He's the owner of the saloon. He makes sure no one touches his girls. Women he's helped out of desperate situations and given a purpose and eventually a husband and family.

Here is the blurb for Savannah

Escaping a past full of deceit and larceny, Savannah Gentry goes in search of her only kin, a half-brother she discovered after her father’s death. She hopes Shady Gulch in the Dakota Territory can give her a future. There she stumbles into the arms of Reverend Larkin Webster, finds herself working in the Silver Dollar Saloon, and soon fears she’s gone from the frying pan into the fire.

After dodging death and incarceration, the Topeka Kid decides to turn his life around and takes on a new identity. Reverend Larkin Webster. It works, until he finds a temptation he can’t resist and steals the heart of Savannah Gentry. When her past collides with his, he wonders if this theft could end up with him losing everything, including his life.
