Dear Angel Friends, I hope you are all staying healthy and cool and enjoying the last month of summer! It's hard to believe the fall season is just around the corner. My daughter will be turning 15 and starting high school in just a few more weeks! I can hardly believe it. Speaking of upcoming events, I hope you will join me for the launch of a brand-new cozy mystery series featuring holidays and pets on September 8th! (Scroll down for the invitation with more details). I am so excited about this series - cozies are one of my most beloved genres, and this one is near and dear to my heart. The series is called the Holiday Pet Sleuth Mysteries, and I will be contributing not just one or two, but SIX books in total over the course of the next year! All 6 of mine are connected, so I hope you will read them all. They are clean, funny, heart-warming, and appropriate for Young Adult (YA - middle school) and above. Another story that is close to my heart is The Witch with a Glitch, a YA fantasy featured in the anthology Salem Academy. As most of you know, I am a disability counselor by profession & I love animals, and this sweet tale touches on both. It not only made me laugh while writing it, but I fell so much in love with Esme and her kitty companion, Rafael, that I've pledged to write many more tales about them. If you enjoy humor in your reading, then you will definitely love DEAN, my newest contemporary romance in the Last Man Standing series. It will be released today, 8/15, and is an enemies-to-lovers romcom with a happy ending (of course). And to kick off the fall season, my sweet seasonal contemporary romance, Love & Pumpkin Spice Lattes, will be released on 9/12! Find the pre-order link below Many of my books also feature recipes, and here is another to help beat the heat - enjoy! Ice Cream Pie 2 Tbsp. margarine 2 Tbsp. sugar 3 C. Rice Krispies, crushed to make 1 cup 1/2 C. blanched almonds, finely chopped 1 16-oz. can cherry or strawberry pie filling 1 1/2 qts. vanilla ice cream, softened Melt margarine; combine with sugar, cereal, and almonds. Press into 9" pie pan. Bake 8 to 10 minutes at 400 degrees. Cool completely. Press softened ice cream into crust; freeze. Just before serving, top with pie filling. Serves 6 to 8. In peace, Annee Jones |

Esmeralda “Esme” Green is trying her best to earn her marks at Salem Academy, but she keeps mixing up the directions in her spell book and can’t manage to spell “abracadabra” correctly no matter how hard she tries. After one too many spells gone wrong, her professor finally suggests she be evaluated for dys-HEX-ia. This can’t come at a worse time since Esme is running for Class President against the most popular witch in school, Hesper Frost. Unfortunately, Esme’s diagnosis gets into the wrong hands and soon she’s accused of not even being a “real” witch. Can Esme and her trusted cat familiar, Rafael, prove to Hesper and the rest of the class that there’s nothing wrong with being a witch with a glitch? | | |

A surprise visit from an old friend is the beginning of something sweet for a barista… but not everyone is in love with the idea. Who would want to sabotage this budding romance?
Piper loves her life. She runs a small coffee shop that’s quickly become a favorite in town. She has great customers, wonderful coworkers, and not a complaint in the world. When her coworker notices that one of her customers is paying extra attention to her, she finds it endearing. Trey is sweet, kind, and funny, but she doesn’t like him like that. She’s happy with things the way they are.
When Gus, an old friend from school, returns to town and stops by to pay her a visit, she couldn’t be more thrilled. He’s the same great guy he’s always been and just as handsome. Their relationship falls right back in place. It’s as if he never left. Before long, they plan a trip to the pumpkin patch for old time’s sake, but the nostalgia is short-lived when someone makes ominous threats and even follows them on one of their adventures.
Something is brewing, and it’s not just a budding romance. When Gus and Piper uncover the truth, will it pull them closer or send them running in opposite directions?
Love and Pumpkin Spice Lattes is a sweet contemporary romance that will warm your heart. | | |
