This trio of happy pups belong to reader Cecilia! Shae looks very comfy there on her back. Shae is a drama queen, according to Cecilia. She certainly knows how to play it up for the camera, huh?

This photo of “Trixie” came to me courtesy of David, a fellow CPA. After he rescued this Swiss Mountain Dog, she rewarded him by eating his new couch. He says he’ll never again adopt a dog with “mountain” in its breed name. : ) Looks like eating couches is exhausting! Bad girl, Trixie!

These adorable dogs belong to my brilliant editor, Holly Ingraham! The white one is Ninja, and the black one is Phantom. Holly is convinced Ninja was human in a former life – he likes to lay his head on pillows, huffs at you when he’s annoyed, and puts himself to bed at 9:30pm every day. Holly says that […]

Thanks, Barbara! I wish I could write faster, too! My ideas are backing up in my head. : ) I wish my brain had a USB port where I could automatically download the stories from my mind to the page. I'm so glad you enjoyed the book! I'm hard at work on the second one, A Trip with Trouble.
I LOVED getaway with Murder. The second book can't be published soon enough. Can you write any faster? ;-)
