To say this past year has been busy, is an understatement! It’s all been one thing after another, and I REALLY hope everything will settle down soon. Fidget no longer needs taken out during the night, thank goodness, so I’m beginning to make up the past ten months of lost sleep. She’s a year old […]

I could hardly sleep last Saturday night, knowing we would be bringing Fidget home the next morning. It’s hard to believe only a week has gone by since then, because in a way it feels like she’s always been here. Fidget of the House of Bannerman series is sweet, cuddly, and on the smaller side. […]

If it seems sudden, it is! In a way. After losing Indy, what we knew for certain was that we needed time to grieve. Now and then we talked about getting another dog, and went back and forth over whether we should or not. When Arctic was over-the-top anxious, we knew it would be a […]

I spent a couple of days this week organizing the remaining notes for “Gone in a Flash”. That was no easy task, considering Jack is now employed by the Bannerman Foundation. On the one hand, it’s a good thing he has a team of investigators to lead. The expertise each brings to the table is […]

Jack and Charlotte’s latest is coming along slowly but surely. Having written a good chunk of it before switching to “Reclamation”, it was necessary to read it over again before getting back to writing. I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the part where Jack and Charlotte meet the executive director of the Bannerman Foundation, and his […]

Finally, “Reclamation” is complete, and the kindle version is available for preorder on Amazon. Click on the button below to find the description and the link to order. A link to Barnes&Noble and the nook version will follow in the next day or two, and the paperback and hardback will be made available on or […]

I’m keeping this short, because the last chapter of “Reclamation” is waiting to be written! I expect to finish it by tomorrow, then the editing will begin. After that, it will be available for preorder. I hope everyone enjoys it!

All three search and rescue dogs, plus the puppies that were born after they were abducted, have been found and reunited with their person, Dr. Lark! So many people have been on the edge of their seats praying for exactly this, and as many are now rejoicing 😄. The PI who tracked them down is […]

After a tumultuous month filled with alarming and rapidly mutating symptoms, Pandy  is now officially recovered. The vets in our office are wonderful, and were determined to help her. The next available surgery slot wasn’t until the 17th, and there’s no way Pandy could wait that long. So, one of our vets saw the patients […]
