We are rocketing through this year! It seemed like just yesterday that we were moving into the house in Baker City, and now it’s July. I have pots of flowers on my deck and we are working on landscaping. We also found a contractor to help us make a larger kitchen. I love to bake, and the galley kitchen in the house does not work well with my spread-out method.

This month, I just finished selling books at the Sumpter 4th of July weekend. I have two weeks, and then I’ll be set up in the main park in Baker City for the Miners Jubilee. That will be three days of selling. Only this time I’ll be using a new tent and a new set up. I’m looking forward to seeing how it looks. I’ll use the same setup in Bruneau, ID in November.

I have a few things going on with books this month.

Audiobook Special

The audio of Captured Hummingbird is available at most audiobook vendors, but also on my website. It is available on my website at a discounted price for a limited time.

Captured Hummingbird, book 15 in the Gabriel Hawke Novels.

Fish and Wildlife State Trooper Hawke has tracked killers through the wild—but this time the clock is his deadliest enemy.

When Hawke’s partner, Dani, calls with a desperate plea to find her newly married cousin and young daughter who have vanished without a trace, he can’t say no.

The trail quickly leads to the violent first husband—a drunk who knows the Idaho wilderness better than most men know their own homes.

Hawke finds the man’s remote hunting shack and makes a chilling discovery: the ex-husband is already dead.

Dani and Hawke uncover disturbing evidence. Corruption in the casino, exploitation in the sheriff’s office, and something more sinister that caused the mother and child’s sudden disappearance.

Ebook Special

Right now, you can also get book one of the Native American Spirit Trilogy for 25% off in ebook from my website. This is one of the books of my heart because it is the first series/trilogy I wrote to showcase the Nez Perce, their way of life in Wallowa County and how they were evicted from the land they loved.

Spirit of the Mountain

Evil spirits, star-crossed lovers, and duty…which will prevail?​

​​Wren, the daughter of a Nimiipuu chief, loves the mountain and her people -the Lake Nimmipuu. When a warrior from the enemy Blackleg tribe asks for her hand in marriage to bring peace between the tribes, she knows it is how she must fulfill her vision quest. But she is torn between duty and her breaking heart.

Himiin, as spirit of the mountain, watches over all the creatures on his mountain, including the Nimiipuu. When Wren shows no fear of him as a white wolf, he listens to her secret fears and loses his heart to the moral maiden. Respecting her people’s beliefs, he must watch her leave the mountain with the Blackleg warrior.

When an evil spirit threatens Wren’s life, Himiin rushes to save her. But to leave the mountain means he’ll turn to smoke…

I’m currently working on Monologued to Death, book 2 in the Cuddle Farm Cozy Mystery series. It’s going well, after a rough start of thinking I was going to write a different book and then changed my mind.

That’s all for now. Check out the deals, and I’m going to try to get back on schedule with my posts. Life sometimes throws a monkey wrench into things.
