Good morning, Bloggers!  Grab some coffee, and let’s talk about our weeks.

This week, I’ve been busily updating blogs and my website, now that my newest novel, Interior Designs, is available on Amazon.   The Kindle version should be available by the end of next week.

Are you enjoying spring yet?  I hope that the snowy places will soon be full of spring blossoms and fragrant air.

  4. Ooh, Casebook is new to me and looks really good. I enjoy the freshened-up looks of your blogs, very nice indeed. I read the first Nicci French in that series, was it called Blue Monday (?) but didn’t get to read anymore of hers. Will be looking for your review. I also read The Peach Keeper awhile back, good read.
    Congrats again on Interior Designs. It is at the top of my to-buy list after I move. Enjoy your week!

      After Blue Monday came Tuesday’s Gone, which was another good one. Thursday’s Children (the 4th one) is available in some parts of the world already…just not here yet.

      Have a great week…and may your packing and moving proceed smoothly!

    1. Thanks, Nise….It has been more than five years since my last book came out, but before that, I had brought out five books in two years. I think I was taking a breather! LOL

      And blogging has consumed my time, too.

      I also enjoy the Rosato & Associates series…and That Night was awesome! I couldn’t put it down!

  6. Woohoo congrats on your book release!! I just finished the 4th book in the Frieda Klein series but it was the 1st I’ve read, publisher assured me it could be read as a stand-a-lone, I’m usually anal about reading in order lol. Looking forward to your thoughts on That Night.
    Have a great week and happy reading 🙂

    1. I had noticed that the Nicci French books are released sooner in your part of the world…I have Thursday’s Children on my list. I have read them in order so far, but I think they could be stand-alones.

      Thanks for the congrats, Teddyree, and for stopping by. Enjoy your reads…and my review of That Night is on An Interior Journey. I LOVED it!
