PPS: I just noticed in my newsletter, I said Scooby still needs ears but obviously had them in the picture. I finished Scooby after I wrote the newsletter and remembered to change the picture, not the words. Isn’t he cute?

Maze
I am rapidly getting more wrapped up in finalizing revisions for Sage’s Bluff before I send my manuscript to my talented editor in February. This is just a maze, nothing more. As I say in the image below, it’s just a distraction.

It’s January!
It’s that time of year again! Time for the Annual Draining of the San Antonio River.
Check out “Mad Money & Murder”, the fictional mystery that introduced the world to Elizabeth Susan Pond, psychic private investigator set in San Antonio, TX. (look at her initials đE. S. P.)
Here’s a link to the book series on Amazon!
Liz Pond is a private investigator with her own agency in historic San Antonio, Texas. Her specialty is proving that con artists are frauds, and Liz knows just how to spot a fake…by using her own secret psychic abilities.
However, after the failed rescue of a kidnapped woman, Liz has lost all faith in herself as a PI. She’s also lost her psychic abilities and doesn’t know if she’ll ever get them back.
While walking along the San Antonio River Walk during its annual draining, Liz finds a body weighted down at the bottom of the drained river. The victim’s roommate hires Liz to find the killer. Liz agrees to take this one last case because she can’t stand the idea of seeing a murderer escape justice. A romance with a local police detective is bubbling just below the surface, plus a reluctant friendship with an investigative reporter she’s afraid will discover her secret. Will this end up being her last case? Or will Liz regain her abilities – as well as her confidence?
