I admit it–I didnâ€™t blog last month. That was because I was traveling and had limited Internet connection. Sorry if you missed me.

This month, Iâ€™m here! Iâ€™m also looking forward to the months to come at OCC meetings with even more anticipation than usual. Thatâ€™s because Iâ€™m going to be the co-PAW meeting leader in 2012. My partner in no crime, I hope, will be Charlotte Lobb, and she has clearly demonstrated more skill at this already than I have–but I intend to take lessons from her.

Weâ€™ll be succeeding Jackie Hyman, whom Charlotte has also assisted at times. Thanks so much to both of you! Youâ€™ve done such a great job of preparing topics for PAW meeting discussions and, when possible, having the afternoon OCC speaker be PAWâ€™s guest and the focus of our discussion as well. I hope we can continue that.

Meantime, all you PAW people–let us know if you have anything youâ€™d like us to address in our meetings. Weâ€™ll try to accommodate you. And since this is a learning process especially for me, let us know if thereâ€™s anything else youâ€™d like us to do.

A Break from Writing? Not Really.

What does a writer do between drafts of a story? Well, that depends.

I finished a first draft of my upcoming fourth story in my Shelter of Secrets series for Harlequin Romantic Suspense. It still needs some work, but it’s currently in the hands of my excellent beta reader.
The Second Half of the Year Has Begun–Already!

July 6, 2023

I’ve had a fun few weeks–including my usual writing. Plus, I heard that the Dog Writers Association of America, of which I’m a member, was looking for humorous articles for their upcoming issue of RUFF DRAFTS, their publication, so I of course had to submit a short article about how my puppy keeps me from concentrating on my writing by insisting that I play fetch with her while I’m sitting at the computer. Humorous?
This Year Continues – Fun!

I recently got word that my next Alaska Untamed Mystery, CRY WOLF, number two in the series, is now scheduled for publication on November 7. I love the cover! And the series is the first in which I’ve taken a pseudonym: Lark O. Jensen.

It’s not my only remaining book this year. I was already aware that my Coltons of New York book for Harlequin Romantic Suspense is also a November release. CSI COLTON AND THE WITNESS is officially out on November 27.
