Wanna know a secret?
Richie calls RV “Smoosher Lady” in 1 Flew Over the Raven’s Nest.
That’s actually inspired by a neighbor’s grandson who calls me “Smudger lady” because my dog’s name is Smudge.
Smoosher Lady!
1 Flew Over the Raven's Nest
Believe in Your Vision
Things will turn out.
In April of 2019 I stayed in an RV as research for Cursed Chicks series. (Yes, it takes me a LONG time to prep for series…I didn’t start actually writing RV’s book until a year later.)
I thought I’d love it. I HATED it. There were tornado warnings, I got motion sickness, and I set off the carbon monoxide detector. I was miserable. My dog was miserable.
I worried that it was a sign that my RV series (working title of Cursed Chicks) was going to be equally miserable. Thankfully, it wasn’t! I’m having sooo much fun with it.
I also had fun meeting up with book blogger Donna of Girl Who Reads on that leg of my trip, so it wasn’t a total disaster.
Out tomorrow!
So excited to be releasing 1 Flew Over the Raven’s Nest in book form tomorrow!
This is the first book in my new Cursed Chicks Club series. (Book 2 will be out next month and I’m currently working on Book 3!) I’m having so much fun with these characters and this world.
You may think your mother-in-law is a witch, but RV’s really was.
And now there’s a very real chance she’ll be haunted by Mildred Bloodworth for eternity.
The only way to free herself from the curse that binds them, is for RV to make amends for Millie’s misdeeds.
Accompanied by a possessed Siamese cat, RV embarks, in her mother-in-law’s pink camper van, on a journey to right wrongs. But plans, like spells, can backfire.
RV drives right into a crime scene and quickly becomes the chief suspect in a mysterious murder.
Determined to prove her innocence, RV investigates with the help of a lucky penny, a wise owl, a reclusive turtle, and a magician whose agenda is unknown.
Closing in on The End
I’ve posted through Chapter 36 of 1 FLEW OVER THE RAVEN’S NEST, the first of my Cursed Chicks series and it will end with Chapter 44.
I’ve enjoyed writing this story and sharing it. (Plus, it’s been fun to see the comments and to know others are enjoying the ride.)

So what’s next for me?
I’ll be publishing the next CONFESSIONS OF A SLIGHTLY NEUROTIC HITWOMAN book and I’ve got two more books featuring RV mapped out to write (okay, don’t tell anyone, but I’ve already started working on book 2!).
I’m also spending a little time each day working on a passion project. It’s a much darker book than my Hitwoman, Cursed Chicks, or Psychic Consignment Mysteries (btw, the first book in that series is currently free!). I don’t know whether I’ll ever publish it, but it’s a good outlet for my dark moods, lol.
I’m also spending time watching birds and developing my photography hobby. I just got a tripod and am hopeful this will help me get better shots.
Serendipity? Frogs
Imagine my amusement when, in the midst of writing Chapter 33 of 1 Flew Over the Raven’s Nest and specifically the line, “I’m a member of the Froggy Friends Society you know”, my dear friend Laura Green Lageson sent me this shot:
Who wouldn’t want to be his friend???
What amazing timing! We both got a chuckle out of it. I’m lucky to have a talented friend who sends me tons of her nature pictures AND is one of my favorite people to laugh with.
Are you caught up with reading 1 Flew Over the Raven’s Nest? Do you know which character is a Froggy Friend?
