Hi Guys!!I thought it was time to kick the fun up a notch with an awesome scavenger hunt! Tammie King came to me and asked if I'd like to take part in her annual scavenger hunt. I was more than happy to jump at the chance. Tammie is awesome as is Night Owl Reviews and their followers!This month I'm highlighting my new release from Harlequin Intrigue, Ms. Calculation!
Purchase Links: Harlequin | Amazon | Barnes & Noble | iTunes | Kobo | Google Play | WalmartThis book and its series (the Mystery Christmas Series) all take place at the very real Dunrovin Ranch in western Montana. On August 19, 2017 we gave away a trip to Missoula, Montana to celebrate the series, the city, and the ranch! Keep your eyes peeled, because I have it on good authority (AKA Barb Neilan of Destination Missoula) that because this event was such a success, we may be doing an event again like this in the future! And I want to extend a huge congrats to the winner, Liz Digman, from Texas!! Can't wait to meet you!Needless to say, a ton of research and time went into writing and publishing these books. A huge shout out to the team at Harlequin Intrigue for taking my ideas and helping me make them into the best novels they could be! I can't wait for readers to have the chance to experience the magic and majesty of the ranch, the characters, and the stories that fill the pages of the four books in this series!On September 19th, it will mark the release of the paperback of book 2 in the Mystery Christmas Series, Mr. Serious!

New Release: Ms. Calculation and Special Guest Debra Webb!
I'm excited to let you know that there is a new release on the horizon--Ms. Calculation, Book one of the Mystery Christmas Series!This year has gone by entirely too fast. If you’re like me, you are meeting the end of summer with equal parts relief and sadness—kids are heading back to school and now comes the days in which work can be done.Here in Montana, our air is filled with smoke and our ability to get out of the house is sporadic at best, which means that in some ways we are already beginning to feel a bit housebound—but I’m not complaining. For me, that means more time to write, to play Legos with my kiddos, and read the books teetering off the top of my TBR stack (here’s looking at you, Angi Morgan and Debra Webb).Last week, in an effort to get out of the smoke, I headed to Green Bay for the Writers Police Academy along with my friends and fellow Harlequin Intrigue authors: Angi Morgan, Rita Herron, Jenna Kernan, and Debra Webb. We had so much fun! (Needless to say, we brought the BOOM to SWAT training!) I’m sure you will be reading some of the fun ideas this conference inspired in my upcoming titles!
This month also marks the paperback release of Ms. Calculation (the paperback will start appearing at your local stores on August 22 and the e-book will be hitting digital shelves on September 1, 2017)!This is the first book in the four-book Mystery Christmas Series.Here is an excerpt from Ms. Calculation for your enjoyment:
You can get your copies here: Harlequin | Amazon | B&N | iTunes | Kobo | Google Play | Walmart | GoodreadsIn addition to my release, Debra Webb and I are working together to get the word out about our books. I LOVE Debra’s works.
Here is her excerpt for her new release, The Coldest Fear:
A killer with nothing left to lose… Detective Bobbie Gentry has a monster to confront. The pain of losing her family and nearly her life to a criminal's vile hunger is still fresh, but now the landscape is different. Now she's not alone. Now she has Nick Shade to trust. Nick treats the terror of his past with vengeance. He's dedicated his life to hunting serial killers, and he'd give his last breath to save Bobbie. When a string of killings bloodies Savannah's elite society and causes cold cases to resurface, Bobbie is captured in a city more haunted than Nick's inescapable nightmares. And as the murderer strikes close, Nick and Bobbie will need to become even closer if they're going to survive.

Check Out the New Releases and Win a Trip of a Lifetime!
This has been one heck of a year, one with tons of new releases coming and soon the chance to win a trip of a lifetime!Hang in 
there, because this blog is full of super exciting news and events! First things first, Always a Wanderer will be on store shelves June 27th.Always a Wanderer is the second book in the Irish Traveller Series and is being hailed by NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Sabrina York as “… a powerful, inspiring tale that proves not all who wander are lost.”I’m also working on my romantic suspense novels for Harlequin’s Intrigue line and loving it. I have a new four-book series which will start to appear on bookshelves throughout the United States, Canada, UK, Australia, and the Netherlands (and digitally worldwide) this August.The first book in this series is Ms. Calculation. T
he entire series is set in the fictional town of Mystery, Montana and so these books became the Mystery Christmas Series. Oh yeah, I love Christmas!This series came about in an almost magical way when a fan approached me at an event and began telling me about their ranch. Fast forward a few months later and this fan, Suzanne Miller the owner and operator of the Dunrovin Guest Ranch, became a great friend. Soon after, the Mystery Christmas Series was born and picked up by Harlequin Intrigue (thanks to Kayla King and Denise Zaza—my wonderful editors).About the Mystery Christmas Series: This Christmas, four brothers join together when trouble finds its way to their family’s ranch in the small town of Mystery, Montana. When those they care about turn up dead, a helpless child is kidnapped, their home comes under fire, and the family's way of life is threatened; the brothers risk everything and put their hearts on the line to keep the people they love safe.About Ms. Calculation (Book 1):Welcome to Mystery, Montana, a small town with dark secrets… The body found in the Dunrovin Ranch stables isn't just a crisis for Wyatt Fitzgerald's family or his top priority as sheriff—Gwen Johansen is both the victim's sister…and Wyatt's ex. And in a small town like Mystery, events of the past don't seem to fade. Maybe she'd misjudged his potential when they were younger, but now he could be her greatest ally—and not just in the investigation. That is, if he can work his way around a broken heart. With the killer circling, the clock is counting down on more than Christmas, a time when family means everything and forgiveness is the best gift of all.About Mr. Serious (Book 2):
Duty and danger bring an alpha hero to Mystery, Montana Waylon Fitzgerald had a life of adventure all planned out—one that did not include returning to his family's ranch to bring his missing ex-wife into custody for murder. With so much bad blood between them, the sexy military police officer understands why his ex's sister, Christina Bell, hates him. And yet he and Christina spark a sizzling attraction.What changes everything for Waylon is Winnie, Christina's adorable ward…and the startling revelation that he's her father. When she goes missing—her mother a killer at large—Waylon's world is upended. Will he redeploy to follow his passions around the world…or stay where his heart has found an unexpected Christmas present?As we count down the days to the release of the books, we’ve joined forces with Destination Missoula and I’m SUPER excited to announce that WE ARE GIVING AWAY AN ALL-EXPENSES TRIP TO MONTANA*!
