Good morning! Today’s post will link up to Sunday Salon, The Sunday Post, and Book Journey, for What Are You Reading?
**Mailbox Monday is now hosted at the home site: Mailbox Monday.
Good morning, Bloggers! Grab some coffee, and let’s talk about our weeks.
A few days ago, my newest novel, Interior Designs, became available on Kindle. It is also available in paperback.
For those of you out there still waiting for spring, today feels like a summer here in the Central Valley. Too much of a good thing?
LAST WEEK ON THE BLOGS:

Let’s Curl up with “True Blend” – Intros/Teasers
News from the Interior: Kindle Version Is Now Available
A Cup of Coffee & a Chat: An Excerpt from “Interior Designs”
Friday Potpourri: Book Beginnings/The Friday 56 – “Keep Quiet”
Review: That Night, by Chevy Stevens
Review: Invisible Ellen, by Shari Shattuck
Review: The Peach Keeper (e-book), by Sarah Addison Allen

INCOMING BOOKS: (Titles/Covers Linked to Amazon)
One book came in my mailbox, unexpectedly, from St. Martin’s Press. Strangely enough, I had just downloaded that very book onto Sparky! So I have two copies of this one:
Keep Quiet, by Lisa Scottoline
And then, because I had heard so many good things about this one, I downloaded it as well:
The Headmaster’s Wife (e-book), by Thomas Christopher Greene
***
WHAT’S UP NEXT ON THE BLOGS? (Titles/Covers Linked to Amazon)
Safe with Me (e-book), by Amy Hatvany
True Blend, by Joanne DeMaio
Dancing in the Streets, by Steven P. Unger
***
That was my week! What did yours look like?
***
Congrats on the release of your new book!
Scottoline is the only one of your books that I’m familiar with but True Blend looks good.
Happy reading!

I have every single book mentioned above on my wishlist or on my kindle 🙂 except Dancing in the Streets, which is new to me. The Headmaster’s Wife was highly praised by Patty, so when I bought Interior Designs I snuck that one onto my kindle also. I am a fan of Chevy Stevens and don’t understand some of the negative critiques of her work, but to each her own. I have the first DeMaio book on my kindle, not sure if that is a series or not, but will read it before I get True Blend and the rest..
Seems like you had a fantastic week–hope this coming one is special also!

Thanks for stopping by, Rita, and I hope you enjoy all of your books. I don’t understand the criticisms of Chevy Stevens, either…I absolutely adored That Night, as well as her other books. And yes, to each her own.
As for the DeMaio books, some of the characters show up in other books, but I think each can stand alone.
Dancing in the Streets was one I am reviewing at the author’s request…and I couldn’t resist another look back at the 60s.
Patty loved The Headmaster’s Wife…and I was drawn in by the blurb, too.
