Welcome to my Summer Newsletter!

I’m excited to welcome in summer with a new picture book and giveaway, book recommendations for summer reading, and an announcement of a coming-soon project!

I’m thrilled to announce that Siena’s story continues! I’ve once again teamed up with Amy Klein and Perpetual Light Publishing for a brand-new misadventure as this lovable pooch continues to protect her family, this time on a family camping trip!

To celebrate Siena’s newest misadventure, I’m offering a picture book giveaway!!

Play my “Where in the World is Siena” game for a chance to win three new picture books!

Here’s how to play: Using the pictures and my attempt at rhyming clues 😊, try to determine Siena’s location in the photos, then message me with your guess. Any guess will serve as an entry. Correct guesses will count for three entries. Thanks for playing!

On June 2^nd, I will share the location spots and choose 5 random winners – one for each photo. I apologize to my overseas friends; however, I’m only able to send books to participants in the US and Canada.

Please share with friends who would enjoy a few new picture books!

Looking for some summer reading material?

A reviewer once wrote that I’m the “master of vacation stories.” While I love the description, I never thought of my books as travel fiction. The settings of my stories are of places I’ve lived or visited, but I suppose the comment fits.

So, whether you’re traveling this summer and need a vacation read, or staying home and journeying through fiction, I’ve got you covered!

My Blindside books and Unlikely Witnesses follow teens, Jake and Sophie, as they solve various mysteries amid the mountainous beauty of my home state of Colorado.

If you prefer relaxing by a lake, In Plain Sight and More Precious Than Gold, both set near Minnesota lakes, are modern adventures full of intrigue and folklore.

Are historical sites more your style? Where You Lead is a clue-deciphering scavenger hunt around the monuments and tourist sites of Washington, D.C.

If you’re longing for a beach read, my summer adventures, Into the Spotlight or The Master Plan, set on a South Carolina island, might be what you’re searching for.

Maybe a road trip is your idea of fun? Don’t miss one family’s epic treasure-hunt journey through the Southwest canyon lands in A Summer to Treasure.

Or for something a little more exotic – Charting the Course is a set on a Caribbean cruise and features tropical ports, a high-seas mystery, and on-board romance.

Whatever your preference, check out my MinistryThruMystery collection – mystery, adventure, humor, romance, and faith all combined into intriguing page-turners.

And finally, I’m thrilled to announce that I am working on my first audiobook! That’s right, Where You Lead will soon be available as an audiobook! Watch my social media for updates.
