Loved being on another podcast, other than the one I run with my friends. Ella was awesome and just talking about doing what I love reminds me of how lucky I am to be an author.

Behind the scenes - Part two

Let’s be clear–33 books didn’t magically appear.

I spent years learning my craft before I pushed publish. Even now I upskill whenever I have time. Which leads me to the fact that it takes a looong time to write a book. Even when books are the same word count, some simply take longer than others.

There are those who write a book a month and others who manage 1 a year. My first book took several years. My last, 4 months. The difference between then and now is knowledge, belief, having a plan and deadlines. 

While I endeavour to write 3-4 books a year. Everything hinges on my personal life. All the deadlines in the world don’t allow for being sick or family matters. Or pandemics.

One of the questions I get asked most often is ‘can anyone write a book’?

The answer is yes! This is completely true, but the fact remains that only a small percentage of those who would like to, ever do. The reason? It’s hard work.

I’ll talk more about that next time.

When the unthinkable happens—another murder—ex-celebrity chef Lyra St. Claire is once more hounded by the paparazzi.

The sheriff doesn't appreciate her help, but how can she carry on as if nothing's happened? To make matters worse, her new server is causing problems at the diner.

Her beagle, Cinnamon, sniffs out more than muffins and Lyra has to make a choice between family and friends when love is in the air.

Will she solve the crime before the paparazzi make her worst fears come true?

Beagle Diner Cozy Mysteries are light and entertaining, with a passel of clues, delicious baking and a one clever beagle.

Behind the scenes - part one

The real story of my becoming an author began decades ago, but the publishing story began in 2013 when three of my close friends and I decided to self-publish. My first book went up in 2014 and since then I've published 33 books over 2 pen names. That first book changed over the years and I probably should take it down as it's the only romantic suspense I have, but it's a great reminder of how far I've come - so it stays. 😊

There is so much more to tell you about the journey, and I'll continue to post over the next few weeks.

Beagles Love Cupcake Crimes is here!

Not only is Beagles Love Cupcake Crimes here, but the reviews are looking good. Thanks so much if you’ve left one, I do appreciate it.

Lyra’s been fun to write or rewrite in this case. She’s changing, as you would if you were stalked, stolen from, and then involved in murder!

With her loving beagle by her side she’s not about to sit around and wait for answers. Even though it could put her into deeper and hotter water.

I’m already about done with the first draft for book 2 which will be out before Christmas. It’s already on preorder, so if you haven’t got book 1 yet, now would be a good time. https://amzn.to/3z0rOJH

Keep well and stay safe wherever you are.
