We've Moved

Visit Me At My New Site

My new website, that also includes a blog, is over at Wordpress and all the posts from here are now living over there.

Here is the link to the new blog site where you can find all the archived posts, as well as new ones as they appear.  I've enjoyed all the connections I've made via this blog, and I do hope you will all come to the new site.

If you have been a follower here, you can follow the new blog site  by adding the following link to your Blogger Reading List or whatever website/app you use to follow blogs.

And I will leave you now with a picture of my cats. They are my companions as I write every day, and they love to look out the window at all the birds that flit around in the side yard. I'm sure they all wish they could go out and get a snack.

Guest Blogging

Today I am a guest on the wonderful DFW writer's group blog, As we Were Saying. One of the blog members, Ruby Johnson, was kind enough to invite me there today to introduce my new book, Stalking Season, which is now out at libraries, and coming in the next two weeks to online retail stores.

Ruby was also so kind to say how much she enjoyed reading Open Season, the first book in the series, and is looking forward to reading this next one.  Since she is a writer, too, she does know how much that means to those of us who pound a keyboard for a living. Ruby has won short story contests, published in the AANA Journal and has contributed to Hospital Topics and  a book on Hospital Management. She currently writes medical suspense.

On the blog today, I share a little about who inspired me to write police procedural mysteries, and there is a short excerpt from the book. Hop on over if you have a moment.

I am sill out of town for another week, then we have the Thanksgiving Holiday bearing down on us. I probably won't get back to my usual blog schedule until after that, but I may pop in now and then.

Guesting today

Today I am the guest blogger at Chris Redding's blog. She features recipes on her blog on Wednesdays and invited me to be her guest today.

The recipe I posted is for my chili, that I call Gringo Chili, because it is milder than most chili one finds in Texas. I had a friend who made the real deal, and I had to have a glass of milk handy to sip on in between bites that scalded all the way down. What can I say, I'm a wuss.

Hop on over to her blog if you get a chance and see where the recipe came from and how it connects to my book, One Small Victory.
