🤪 Just want to encourage anyone who wants to have a personal photo added to flyer to send me a photo. Takes me less than five minutes to do and makes it more fun for sharing

Help spread the word. 😀

We have 30 printed posters (11x17) and 100 flyers (8.5x11) that we need help posting in the local area.

Any and all help is appreciated! I will keep a running list of places covered on the website - and just for fun adding the name of those who do the foot work!

If you download and print on your own printer to share in different places let me know as well.

Another great book on its way! Meet Paula at the fair and plan now to register for the Romance author panel to ask her fun questions!

Woot woot! Yesterday afternoon I finally finished the first draft of the next Hometown Hardware mystery.

This has been a long slog with all kinds of life getting in the way of writing, so I'm delighted to reach the end. It still needs a ton of work, but I love the editing phase. That's when I get to dig in, give the story life, and make sure everything works and the mystery comes together.

This one takes place during a cold and snowy February. The whole town has cabin fever, so nearly everyone turns out for the annual Winter Carnival and Spaghetti Feed at the high school. The carnival this year has a 50s theme, and Dawna is excited to just be out and about, having a good time with friends. Until...
