Life’s been a whirlwind of activity since my last post, but happily the sunny summer weather gives my energy gets a boost. Here in Vancouver, we’re enjoying normal seasonal temperatures which is much better than last year’s heat dome, although things could heat up. I feel for the people in Europe and the U.K. and parts of the U.S. Unpredictability seems to be the new norm, so onward we go. Speaking of which,

In a few days I’ll be uploading A Gold Satin Murder on KDP and Draft2Digital, and sending the book off to the printer. I find myself still going over the manuscript, tweaking words here and there. By the end of this month, I’m cutting myself off because launch day is September 8th.
Meanwhile, I’m looking for anyone who might be interesting in hosting me on their blog. Different topics are being prepared now, and I’m certainly open to a Q an A. If you’re interested in hosting a guest blog in Sept., Oct. or beyond, please email me at debra_kong@telus.net. A big thank you to Darlene Foster and Jacqui Murray who’ve already enthusiastically agreed to host me. I love this community of writers!
In case you were wondering, here’s the book blurb:
Transit cop Casey Holland has never met a bus passenger like the charming artist and exotic dancer, Eduardo. The bus driver Lily has certainly befriended him. But when Eduardo’s charged with murder, Lily’s caught in the middle of his legal trouble. Afraid of losing her job and custody of her son, she begs Casey for help in proving Eduardo’s innocence.
Casey’s search for answers takes her and her best friend Kendal to a troupe of strippers known as Man Cave. While the men are busy peeling off their clothes, Casey’s peeling back layers of secrets and betrayal. Nuttier than her usual adventures, the risk is just as deadly in this seventh installment of the Casey Holland transit mysteries.
I can almost hear the questions now, and if you have any topics you’d like me to address, go for it! 😊
Oh, sounds like fun! Eduardo should meet Estrada. I’d love to host you on my blog and hear about your inspiration and research for Man Cave;) http://bluehavenpress.com

Congratulations on your upcoming release, Debra. I find it so hard to “pull the plug” and leave the manuscript alone, as we can keep tweaking and proofreading it forever. Good luck with the launch!

A great cover design and glad there’s another project you can put behind you with such a busy schedule. Don’t know if this is helpful but—The bus driver Lily has befriended him. I wonder about this sentence. Befriended just doesn’t sound alluring enough to me.
I don’t think it would be worth your while to be a guest on my blog—I don’t have that many followers, but good luck.
