Death is in the Cards
The newest installment in the Pond Investigations Mystery series, “Death is in the Cards” is out and available for purchase!
After an eventful winter, Pond Investigations’ daily routine is interrupted once again.
Coaxed by a friend, Liz Pond sets up a fortune teller booth for a charity fundraiser. Of course, the people coordinating the event don’t know they are getting a real psychic.
Liz spends her morning reading fortunes for the lovelorn and hopeful. When a young man enters her tent, the mood turns serious after the Death card makes an appearance. A vision of his murder fills her mind. She tries to warn him, but he won’t listen. Before she can do anything more, she is struck on the side of her head by a wayward softball. The injury results in a concussion and a little something extra. Her ESP abilities spin out of control. Her family and friends surround her to help. But with a potential murder on the horizon, Liz may need to bring one more person into her circle of trust. How will Detective A. J. Sowell handle it if Liz tells him she is more than a private investigator?

Mad Money & Murder
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?

I received the Author Proof copy of my paperback yesterday. What an exciting moment in the world of a writer. To see the words that you have sweated over, printed, and bound. I was literally almost speechless!
I even left leaflets advertising my book in a coffee shop and was immediately asked questions as two people grabbed a copy to read. One read the book blurb and responded with “Ooh, I love shows like this!” and another read it, asked me more questions, and followed up with “Bring some of these to our offices upstairs on the twentieth floor.” Between those comments and an email from my mother-in-law, “I just read the first three chapters of your book on my lunch break. WOW!!” It’s been a pretty positive week.

January 2024 News
The self-publishing process has been keeping us busy lately. My husband has been busy laying out the book for both Kindle and paperback formats and creating the cover. I’ll be forever grateful to him for taking on that project. When I expressed my dismay at not being able to help him with those tasks, his response was simply, “Well, you wrote the book.” Not much can be said to counter that logic.
Today I took on the task of assigning ISBNs to each format, working on my press release, and adding content to my website. Here’s a statement I never thought I’d say: I’m actually looking forward to editing book two in the wee early morning hours tomorrow.
We are so close to uploading my book to my Amazon KDP account! I still can’t believe that soon I may have an Author Copy in my hot little hands. I’ll probably be a blubbering mess seeing it in physical form.
Have a great day!
