What I'm writing in YEAR OF THE DOG

I just finished writing Year of the Dog ! It had a massive plot hole that I had to fix which turned out to be more work than I expected. Here’s a snippet: “Hey, Auntie Nell.” He wrapped his arms around her, bussing her on the cheek and breathing in pikake flowers and shortbread cookies. And suddenly he was nine years old again, and her solid presence had made his chaotic world stable once more. “What are you doing here?” He usually took her to dinner on Wednesday nights, but today was Tuesday. The edges of her smile faltered a little before brightening right back up again. “What, I can’t visit my nephew?” She angled around him to enter his home. “Is this your new house? Looks lovely.” Which was a blatant lie, because the fixer-upper was barely livable, much less acceptable to a neat-freak like his aunt. She also left four matching pink and purple floral suitcases on the stoop behind her. Only then did Ashwin notice the cab driver standing slightly to the side of the walkway. “Can ...

What I'm writing in my Christian Romantic Suspense Novel YEAR OF THE DOG

I just finished my last edits on Year of the Dog yesterday! Here’s a snippet from the book: *** Mari’s phone vibrated again. Before she answered, she cautioned Lana, “Taffy’s pulling too much. Don’t let him lead you—you’re the alpha dog. What is it, Brandy?” “Brandy?” asked a chuckling male voice. “I’ve been called lots of things, but never Brandy.” “Oops! Sorry, Uncle Herbie. I was just talking to my manager and thought she was calling me again.” In the background, Auntie Viola started whooping with laughter. “She called you Brandy?” “Anyway …” Uncle raised his voice to drown out his wife’s hooting. “I got a good opportunity for you, Mari.” “Opportunity? What do you mean?” Maybe a new client? She had room in her Thursday night class, or she could squeeze in another private session in her week. “D’you remember telling us about how lots of your Japanese clients were wishing you could kennel their dogs when they went back to Japan on trips?” “My dog resort idea?

Christian Romance Books Progress Update + A Peek at What’s Coming Next

Hi everyone! I have some fun writing news to share. I just finished inputting edits from my editor for my Christian romantic comedy suspense novel,  Year of the Dog . However — in true writer fashion — we caught one little loose thread that needs tying up. So, I’ll be adding a short scene to fully wrap up the story. After that, the book will be fully edited , proofread , and ready! What’s next? I’ll be diving into my Christian Regency romantic suspense novel,  Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 8: Traitor . I had already written a few chapters before finishing Volume 7, but since I made a few tweaks during the editing process, I’ll be revising those chapters to make sure everything flows smoothly. I also have a bit more research to finish before I can fully immerse myself in Volume 8. Thank you so much for following along on this journey!
