My first day out in 10 days, post-kidney cooties, and I came across an endangered species. My mind spun back to my first one in late, great, 1988. 😊

Really excited that my thriller DOUBLE-CROSSED was a 2025 Finalist for Best Thriller novel from the National Indie Excellence Awards. I appreciate all of the support NIEA provides for authors and their books over the last 19 years. 🙂

Here are my favorite “reads” from January (with a special guest appearance from Buddy. 😊🐱). Alice Feeney’s book was so creepy and good. The Favorites was excellent and much better than I thought it would be and Tammy Oberhausen’s book was just a fun book! 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ to them all. Happy reading! 😊

Finishing up the week strong by having lunch with my former WRIT 440 students, along with my dear friend and colleague Alice Myatt. It was so good catching up with them to hear about what’s going on in their lives and how WRIT 440 has helped them. So proud of them and all they’re doing. #ilovemyjob😊
