The Kindle edition of SOLOMON’S COMPASS is on sale from now, April 15, through midnight, April 21, for 99 cents. Don’t miss out on getting your copy for this low price.

SOLOMON’S COMPASS is a Coastal Connection novel set along the Texas Coastal Bend in a town called Rock Harbor. This fictional town is based on the real-life town of Rockport, Texas. I ended up changing so much that I thought it would be better to change the name, too.

Those of you familiar with Rockport prior to Hurricane Harvey may recognize bits and pieces here and there.

Finding your true north isn’t always easy. It’s more difficult when you’re the target of a killer. Even if you’re the captain of a Coast Guard cutter and the man who makes you crazy is a veteran Navy SEAL. Especially then. But Coast Guard Commander Taylor Campbell is a determined woman… maybe even more determined than Jake Solomon, USN Retired.

Gracie is back in the conclusion to The Amazing Gracie Trilogy – Don’t Mess with Gracie.

The new-release price of 99 cents will be good through March 18, after which the Kindle edition of the book will go to the regular price of $3.99. Now’s a great time to take advantage of this low price.

The book is currently available in Kindle and paperback editions. It will become available in Kindle Unlimited on March 19.

Now let’s get on with Gracie’s launch party!

   The mysterious Mr. Ott is trying to intimidate Gracie Hofner into being his internal spy at The Bastion Group. She’s learned a lot about him through several sources, even using information provided by the pair of ghosts trying to save their granddaughter. But it isn’t enough. Mr. Ott is an expert in hiding his true identity.

   Gracie isn’t as worried for herself as she is for her family, her friends, and her new tenant, Milo Porter. Her feelings for him have grown, but she can’t show them. Mr. Ott’s threats involve those she loves, and one friend has already been killed. Besides, she’s certain there is someone else in Milo’s life.

   It takes Gracie and her growing support team to unmask Mr. Ott, but it’s what Gracie learns along the way that shows readers the wisdom of the advice Don’t Mess with Gracie.

   This is the conclusion to The Amazing Gracie Trilogy—a story so big it takes three books to tell it. Gracie’s adventures begin with Jalapeno Cupcake Wench, continue with Bluebonnet Ballerina, and conclude here.

This month, Gracie is on tour. The lovely ladies at Goddess Fish are introducing her to new readers around the web. I hope you’ll join her.

In addition to the launch of Don’t Mess with Gracie, I’m also hosting a Goodreads Kindle Giveaway of Jalapeno Cupcake Wench. Enter here to win one of 100 Kindle copies of the first book in the Amazing Gracie Trilogy.

It may still be winter, but there’s a sale this week on a “Hot and Spicy Taste of Murder, and Beyond” over at Amazon. That’s right… this week, the Kindle edition of Jalapeno Cupcake Wench can be had for only 99 cents.

Hurry – sale ends midnight Sunday, February 17.

Law enforcement consultant Gracie Hofner is assigned to a trendy San Antonio pastry shop to w

atch for a delivery. In addition to the intoxicating aromas of sugar and chocolate, she also has to fight her own attraction to the man working beside her, Donovan Beck. He’s a hunk and a half and perfect for a spring fling.

If she had more time, Donovan would rank higher on her to-do list. But the number one spot is occupied by her search for a missing little girl, the target of a killer. Gracie needs to find her pronto, and the odd super-instinct quirk that’s started plaguing her may help. If not, she can always see what happens if it tells her to buy a lottery ticket.

Jalapeno Cupcake Wench is the first book in The Amazing Gracie Trilogy, a story so big, it takes three books to tell it.

I love brand new years! So full of promise.

This year will be busy around here–new releases, sales, and more.

I’ll be writing, but I’m seeing to it that there’s plenty for y’all to do while I’m pulling out my hair or laughing or falling in love all over again.

One of the things I’m going to TRY to keep updated here is a research list each time I post. You’ll be able to ride along with me while I’m writing, but if you can guess the story out of this list, you’ll officially be a wizard 🙂

So far this month, only one: Jaws of Life

The holiday season is in full swing. At our home, we’re firmly in the middle of all the Christmas preparations. Shopping is done, paper and ribbon are strewn across a long table, and the cards are finally in the mail. No baking this year, but I foresee cookies next December!

Wishing you and your family a safe and happy holiday season and a bountiful 2019.

Merry Christmas!

Carol

Bluebonnet Ballerina, The Amazing Gracie Trilogy, Book 2, is now available in both Kindle and paperback editions!

The pre-order Kindle price of 99 cents will be available only until Monday night, July 9.

     Gracie Hofner returns, and chaos reigns—including a couple of ghosts trying to save their granddaughter. But as Gracie dances from problem to problem, she’s unaware the music has been orchestrated into a murderous symphony.
     When a different melody reaches Gracie’s ears from a guitar played by the new tenant living in her garage apartment, her tension vanishes. She listens unseen, cocooned in the shadows on her patio, and wonders who he’s longing for—and how it would feel for a man to crave her that much.
     She can’t dwell on those thoughts, however. Problems of murder and missing prisoners abound. To say nothing of the ghosts. No one ever said being a law enforcement consultant would be easy.

Jalapeno Cupcake Wench, The Amazing Gracie Trilogy, Book 1, is currently listed in a giveaway at Goodreads. 20 Kindle copies will be given away after the giveaway ends on Wednesday, July 11.

If you haven’t read this book, sign up for the giveaway today. And good luck!
