Wiped Out! (Beach City Cozy Mysteries: Patsy- Book Six) now available!

Zachary Paterson discovers a surfing buddy’s body weeks before a big local surfing competition.

Patricia Garret and Shirley Martinez vowed they’d never get involved in another murder investigation ever again. After being held hostage at gunpoint, they’d lost their zest for solving homicides. They’d promised Detective Byron Garret that they would no longer interfere. Besides, they have another mystery to solve. Plum trees are disappearing from the yards of Beach City residents. When one of Pat’s trees is taken from her front yard in the middle of the night, Pat enlists Shirley’s help in figuring out how and why the trees are going missing.

Will Pat and Shirley keep their promise and refrain from interfering with the murder investigation? Will danger ensue as a result of the theft of the plum trees? Will justice be served?

The Block, Guilt and Too Many Ideas

I decided to write a post today so that I could clear my writers guilt for the day. I have been going through the blockage for a couple of weeks. Strangely, I think it is related to having too many story ideas or scenes popping into my head that I am overwhelmed. I’m not sure which one to focus on.

When I start to work on one, my mind drifts to another.

I’m still writing the Beach City Cozy Mysteries. Wiped Out (Book Six) is in editing. I also have a childrens detective series with eight books floating around out there. I am currently writing the ninth book. Another childrens book series with book one out there with book two in the works. There is a life series in the works. So… yep… too much going on in my head.

And, I know I said I would share the pen name for the childrens books, but I am still not ready yet.

And… I’ve got no other updates to share. Ugh. Did this little itty bitty post ease some of that writer not writing guilt?? Nope. Ugh.
