ALL the fun stuff!

Happy Friday!

Oh, how I love Fridays in Florida. (To be fair, I love them in Minnesota, too) and I’m loving them even more with this addition of this fun hot tub!

Hubs and I dreamed of a hot tub…we did not dream about the price, however. So…he came up with a crazy idea…what about one of those inflatable hot tubs?

I saw this…

Hubby saw this…(note, this is not my hubby)

So, I said…okay, let’s try it.

And we got THIS!

Admittedly, I was skeptical. And then I got in it.

And I was this.

So, now Friday’s got even more fantastic. (As did Saturdays and Sundays and Mondays…)

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL the fun, fantastic news! How about a FREEBIE?

Have you met Susan Sleeman yet? I love her books…they’re about heroes who, you know, save the world. Her stories are fast-paced, clean and simply a fun weekend read.

When his country needs him…will he heed the call if it means seeing the woman who’d once broken his heart?

Now…Imma need your honest opinion…

I have an epic series coming out next summer (2026) and we’re working on the covers now. (I’m writing it with talented author Tari Faris!) The series features 3 summer park rangers in the Grand Canyon (and some familiar faces, of course!)

Anyhooo….

We’re working on covers, and can’t decide between the orange background and the darker blue background. Can you help us decide? Vote on the one you love. (and with your vote, you’ll be entered to win a $20 gift card from the SMWF Store!)

Note: We’re still working on finding the right model for book 1. So, don’t vote for the model…just the colors. Thanks! VOTE HERE

And finally…

Thank you so much for the kind reviews of Conrad!

He’s available at the launch price through the weekend, so if you want to take advantage of that low price…don’t miss it!

Okay, I’m off to vacuum the hot tub… have a beautiful weekend!

XO!

P.S. If you’re looking for more epic reading, check out Rescued Duty by two of my favorite authors, Lisa Phillips and Laura Conaway! Still at the launch price (and also available in Kindle Unlimited!)

After growing up in foster care, investigative reporter Naya Michél has learned there’s usually more to a situation than meets the eye. When she’s assigned a story about the current water contamination crisis in town, Naya is ready to show her boss she has what it takes to secure a promotion—especially since the events surrounding the story have personal ties to her childhood. When her investigation makes her the target of someone who wants the truth kept quiet, how far will Naya’s determination take her before the cost becomes too much?

Rescue Squad firefighter and former foster kid Zack Stephens is ready to step up his game at work when his boss hands him a cold case for hazmat training. As Zack delves into the case, he uncovers a shocking revelation—his parents’ deaths weren’t accidental. Determined to find their murderer, Zack throws himself into the investigation. But he doesn’t expect his search to collide with Naya, the girl he promised to protect when they lived in foster care together.

As threats mount and Naya is caught in the crosshairs, can Zack reconcile the mistakes of his past and find a killer before someone deals a lethal blow? And can the two of them learn to trust—and love—each other again despite the pain of their past?

Rescued Duty is a pulse-pounding tale of second chances, found family, and the unbreakable bonds forged in the face of adversity.
