I have a weird sort of satisfaction knowing that even my sweet pups have gained weight during this quarantine. Their weight gain does not justify my weight gain, in the real world, but in my head normal rules do not apply. You might be thinking I should be taking them for walks, and you are right. The only problem is that California is on fire, so the air quality is pretty bad. To break it down around here… Pandemic = Stay in the house, Fires = Stay in the house, Evacuations = Get out of the house, Earthquakes = Get out of the house. If they add one more thing to that list I will have to write it down and tape it to the door. I am a bit on the jumpy side ever since our house caught fire. If I knew what caused it I could do something different, but it was determined to be an act of God. Wow… what did I do to make him so mad? That’s a little worrisome. You know what would make me feel better? Sharing a little snack with my pups.

In the meantime, she’s stuck writing dull human interest stories for the Junction Times. But when Sunni decides to bend the rules on her first newspaper assignment, she soon finds herself in her favorite place — right in the center of a murder investigation. Now if she can just steer clear of the cocky, irritating and far too appealing local detective, Brady “Jax” Jackson.
