Dear Readers,

2023 is MARCHing right along…pun intended!

At the Brown household in southern Oklahoma, Mr. B and I are steadily working on new books. He’s on his 12th mystery novel, and I’m just trying to meet all my deadlines. Our son, Charles Lemar, is about to publish his third and fourth novels, and is hard at work on number five. So, if you were a fly on the wall, you would hear lots of talk about plots, POV, and characters.

The Devine Doughnut Shop is out now, and although I don’t have any books coming out in March, there’s plenty more arriving before the end of the year. Thank you to all y’all who have read my books, reviewed them, and told your friends and neighbors about them.

We have lots of traveling planned for this year if our health holds out and nothing gets in our way. Two conferences: Book Lovers Con (BLC); Houston, TX June 1-4, 2023 and Lori Foster’s Reader & Author Get Together (RAGT); Erlanger, KY June 7-11, 2023. Book signings are planned at both, so maybe I’ll see you there!

Then our family is going on an Alaskan Cruise in July. We are hoping to attend the Women’s Fiction Conference in Chicago in September, a reader’s conference in Utah in October, and the Fresh Fiction event in November in Texas. In December we are usually in Panama City Beach during Christmas. Mr. B and I aren’t getting any younger so we figure we might as well squeeze as much out of life as possible.

Here’s wishing all y’all an amazing month.

Until next time,
