Quick-witted, killer thrillers

What am I working on?

home-office-336378_640One of the most frequent questions I get from readers is what am I working on. Well, it's a short, but crazy story.

Being completely nuts I’m tackling two projects at once … and researching a third. Busy hands make happy hands, or whatever it was my grandmother always said as she put me to work.

FIRST is the next Lucky project

A new Lucky Novella. I don’t have a title yet, but it is a setup for the sixth book, Lucky Break (or Lucky Star, I haven’t decided—maybe I could have a contest… hmmm.) Set behind the scenes in the music/entertainment scene in Vegas, the story is actually told from two points of view: Lucky, of course, and Flash, an investigative reporter, naughty girl, and Lucky’s bestie. We’ll see how it goes. Controlling two strong women is a bit of a challenge.

SECOND is something totally new: the first in a series set in Napa, Crushed.

Crushed is the heartfelt story of Sophia Stone, a woman on the brink of an empty nest, stuck in an unsatisfying job, and nurturing a mother who is slipping ungracefully into dementia. When her husband was killed in an accident five years before, Sophia put her life on autopilot and her heart and dreams on ice while caring for those around her. When her home and her dreams are threatened, Sophia grudgingly learns she must also fight for herself. In doing so she rediscovers the woman she used to be, and to perhaps trust love one more time.

    Hello! I love the Lucky series you should really try for a tv series. IS there anywhere i can get the Lucky Catch is audio? I don’t have time to read and you have hooked me. I do agree Audible is very expensive when you listen to alot of books and i go from one Luck book to the next.
    Thank you,
    Joy

      Hi Joy!! Thank you SO much! It’s always so incredible to hear someone loves Lucky. Audio, it’s such a tough decision. the cost to produce the quality product I desire is quite high, as you might imagine. I’m going to start this fall with the latest Lucky novels, one at a time, and test the market. Thank you so much for asking and I’ll keep you posted! And, as always, I so appreciate your interest and support!
