Happy Sunday,
Spring break has started and I cannot be happier. It’s only a week, but I’m really hoping it allows me to rest my brain enough for writing to happen again.
My husband took the two boys camping, so it’s just been Kayleigh and me. Today we dropped off some returns, went on a walk, and then went to a local park with a big slide. She tried to conquer her fear of going down the big slide but wasn’t quite able to, so we’re planning to go back tomorrow. We also have a pedicure planned.
After dinner tonight, I jumped in the recording studio to finally get back to finishing the new edits on Beneath the Surface. It went really well until my daughter opened the door to tell me about her book and Oreo, the cat pictured above, sneaked in. Thankfully, he was quiet while I finished the chapter but then he made himself at home under my microphone, so I guess I’ll do more tomorrow lol.
So, what’s on my reading list? Well, I got the original Wizard of Oz series for Christmas and Kay and I have been reading through them. I had no idea the books are so different from the movies. I also got the Wicked series, but it’s been challenging reading it. Not only is it dark and kinda graphic, but the characters are very different from the play. In fact, the only real similarities are the names and the fact that Elphaba’s skin is green. My go-to books have still been psychological thrillers and so today I started The Ex-Wives by Jenna Kernan and it’s got me hooked so far.
One of these days, I hope to write another psychological thriller, but until then, you can enjoy Beneath the Surface or any of my other books. Grab them from my website and save.
Okay, I’m off to read and maybe tap out a word or two. I hope you have a wonderful, restful week.

You've read about all the Slade brothers... but what about the one you've grown to... uh hate?
When it comes to enemies, West has them in spades, but his worst enemy is himself. And if despising all his past mistakes was a competition, he'd win that too. He blames himself fully for what happened to his momma, but could running his boss's shady multi-trillion dollar empire be a new low? If so, Nashville's most notorious bad boy has just hit rock bottom.
Enter Lauren Garcia--a goody two-shoes, bible toting daughter of a pastor. And if that wasn't sickening enough, she's a snoopy journalistic reporter who's just dying to write her hit piece on his tycoon boss.
West can't wait to make her hate him too.
But she's got a few tricks up her sleeve... and the second West tries to cozy up to her, he's the one whose head is turning.
He'd better reel his fascination in fast before he gets them both killed. And yet, in the face of Lauren's stunning quick wit and warmth, he's dismayed to find he's lost all control when the sparks between them start to fly.
Sure, Lauren might be the only one with the healing touch to rescue the tattered remains of his broken heart, but can West really change his wicked ways for good or is he about to get what's coming to him?
It's time to turn back to his roots at Harvest Ranch and beg his brothers for some help before it's too late.
