@PatriciasBooks Thanks so much for the shoutout!!

Gonna take a short social media break. If you need to reach me, send an email. I may or may not respond.

Have a serene day! Hahahahahahaha!

Done!

Stressed? Maybe this will help.

I definitely see the advantages of being a hermit.

The Commanders are 6-2, the Capitals are 7-2, and even the lowly Wizards are 2-2. What alternate universe is this? Let’s go, DMV!

Thanks to Big Al (no relation) from @BooksAndPals for the spiffy 5-star review of LATE CHECKOUT! From @levelbestbooks!

Had a flat tire yesterday (culprit: a roofing nail right through the tread). Called a mobile tire guy to come to the house and repair it. Ten minutes, no hassle (not cheap, tho). If you live near me and are missing this roofing nail, please contact me so we can, uh, settle up.

Thanks to S.A. Evans at the @IndieBookView for the lovely review of LATE CHECKOUT! “…excellent cliffhangers…a lighthearted mystery with plenty to enjoy.”

Thanks to Leslie at Storeybook Reviews for a nice spotlight on LATE CHECKOUT! There's even an excerpt!

Is it a problem if I spend more time thinking about what I’m going to have for lunch than about where I see myself in five years?

Thanks for the nice review!

Thanks for all your help on this one! And for the cool graphic!!

TODAY is Release Day for the second novel in the Mess Hopkins series, LATE CHECKOUT! Thanks to the great pros(e) at @levelbestbooks: @GrammyVamp, @ShawnRSimmons, and Deb Well!

As “release week” for LATE CHECKOUT kicks off, big thanks to Rosepoint Publishing for the lovely advance review (with the #nottobemissed hashtag)!

A Sunday lizard photo for your enjoyment.

@MysterLynch I think this whole shaving things is a scam. I mean, I shave, and then I have to shave again in a few days!

@JimThomsen I AM lazy. But my beard would be splotchy and gray. And itchy.
