I finished writing Sushi and Suspicions and turned it in! To celebrate, I ate my favorite peach jelly from Minamoto Kichoan ! I was a bit surprised to realize at the end of the book that there wasn’t as much romance as in some of my other books, maybe because there were a lot of characters in this book compared to other romantic suspense novels I’ve written. Sushi and Suspicions will be releasing in June in the multi-author box set Summer Suspicions . Even though it’s a box set, each Christian Romantic Suspense novel in it is a full book, so it’s a great deal! Preorder Summer Suspicions for only 99 cents!

On a positive note, yesterday I finished my first round of edits (called Macro edits at Zondervan) for Single Sashimi, the third book in my Sushi series, previously titled The Lone Rice Ball until I discovered that "rice ball" can be derogatory, which I totally did not know. Did you guys know that already?

But then, I think a lot of us don't know all the "negative" stuff cause WELL, we don't USE THEM.
I had a college teacher actually tell me the word "sheen" was negative in a context I'd used it. I was referring to the sweat on a Jewish-Christian preacher's forehead at a banquet. I said, "Huh?"
"Sheen."
"Sorry. Not getting it."
"Sheenie?"
Sorry, but I had no clue. My first serious boyfriend was Jewish and I still had no idea. I grew up in New York City where my brother's bosses were Jewish, where I was going to go to a high school in a Jewish neighborhood..and I'd never used that word. So, clueless me.
So, don't feel bad.
