Spring is just around the corner. The snow has melted and it is almost warm enough to sit outside to write.
But not quite.
Writing indoors, I have made some great progress on my writing. I have finished my novel about skiing before the snow melted and have moved on to my cozy mystery series. I can't give you too many details, but I can tell you that it takes place in the spring, my main character is a coffee addict, and I am having a blast writing it. I cannot wait to share it with you.
Until then, you can follow my progress on Twitter, Goodreads, Discord, and my website.

Or will the coursework become so overwhelming that she will fail out before she has the chance?
Patrick McGregor is one of the most recognized faces in Hollywood. But sometimes, he just wants to be a normal 16-year-old. Missing the beginning of the school year to film a new movie on location in Hawaii sounded ideal. He never expected to be so homesick.
