Monday Give Away: PURPLE PLUMERIA
Pink XI, The Mark of the Midnight Manzanilla, comes out in just two weeks!

Here’s the official blurb: Colonel William…
Read MoreThe Coffee Chart

Read MorePhoenix, AZ– This Saturday!
Hi, Phoenix friends! I’m appearing at the Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale tomorrow. Well, sort of. I’ll be crashing Rhys Bowen’s Heirs and Graces book event via Skype (which is doubly fun for me, since I love Rhys Bowen’s 1930s set Royal Spyness mystery series). The event starts at 2:00 and I’ll be Skyping in around…
