And More September


Hey, I mentioned last week that it’s now September. The year is speeding toward its end.

And that means that my next book will soon be published-- a December release!

It’s K-9 Evidence, the first in my new K-9 Crime Solvers series for Harlequin Romantic Suspense. It’s got—big surprise!—K-9s in it, as well as humans who are, or become, private investigators.

Yes, I’m once again writing about dogs. I really enjoy that! I’ve mentioned here my fun and issues about the next two books in that series—still working on them.

Will I ever write books without dogs in them? I’ve been told to consider the possibility, and so I am. But I’d just as soon include animals as well as people, so if not dogs, perhaps some other pets. Or… Well, I’m fascinated by wildlife. I love to see what’s visiting my yard—such as the beautiful, red-breasted hawk who sat on a pole for a while a couple of weeks ago, as well as squirrels, and the hummingbirds who visit our feeders-- and in the park where I exercise, and more, including wild animal parks—as well as animals seen on the safaris I was on a few years ago in Africa.

More about wildlife to come? I won’t be surprised.

We lived in Colorado Springs for several years and had deer in the yard almost every day -- even had one give birth to a baby very near our front porch. The deer I liked -- the two big bears who showed up one day -- not so much!! They very methodically ate everything from the bird feeders, then drank the liquid from the hummingbird feeders. Thank goodness the bears were a one-time occurrence.

Happy writing!!

Patty Jenkins, I hear you about the bears! We have had so many in my town for the past 4 or 5 years. In fact, Fish and Wildlife had to remove one on my street this morning! They get into our garbage bins so we have to put bungee cords on them to keep them closed. They also find any berries nearby. It's scary because we have lots of children in my neighborhood who like to play outside. Not sure what is bringing them into civilization. In previous years, we had a lot of fires but we haven't had any this year. So, Linda, writing about bears might be an interesting subject!

Wow, Patty, it sounds as if you have good reason to be fascinated by and nervous about certain wildlife. Maybe you should write about the deer and bears!

Oops. It's me, Linda. I am using something different to send this and it's not recognizing me!

Okay. I was out of town and responded to you, Sharon, but my response didn't get posted. Sorry! But yes, I might enjoy writing about bears!
