Perfect Chocolate by C.A. Newsome The main character of my Dog Park Mysteries is a starving artist. Lia’s idea of economy is to practice the best nutrition she can to stay healthy, something I’ve pursued most of my life. Her/my culinary endeavours frequently appear in the books.

Being foodies, we talk about meals mostly, then share our to-do lists. Usually both of these lists are filled with work related […]

But, in real life …
I write stories of good versus evil, epic demon-infested battles, and life threatening scenarios. My heroes are loyal and stalwart, willing to sacrifice anything and everything for duty and morality. You know, sword and sorcery saving the world with some chocolate and true love rolled into the mix. The battered and bloody hero always triumphs […]
Dowser 5 is about to head off to the editor, which means I get to seriously dig into Oracle 2 – yay! In order to really immerse myself in Rochelle’s voice, I’m going to (re)read I See Me, Oracle 1 first. I’ve already mentioned this to a few readers, but I thought it might be fun for […]
