Mary's News and Notes
When I got home I retired. I'm writing full time now! Yippee! I will be blogging less, as if I blogged a lot before. I'm going to go back to a newsletter. If you'd like to keep up with my news email me at mary L martinez 3 [at] gmail.com My newsletters will come out once a month if I have news, if not, once a quarter.
Let's start with our quote of the day:
I have fallen in love with the imagination. And if you fall in love with the imagination, you understand that it is a free spirit. It will go anywhere and it can do anything.

Available for Preorder now and release day May 23, 2023.
When Senator Denning reaches out to Roni Staples to set up a meeting, she’s intrigued. But when she learns the reason for the meeting is because the senator’s youngest son is missing and there is no ransom, it’s not a good sign. She must find the senator’s son and the longer it takes, the less chance of a live recovery. What she doesn’t need is a civilian tagging along.
Sebastian De Santis is an easy going, singer songwriter. Life is good. He’s had a few bumps along the way, but he’s now a successful business owner. His nightclub ranks in the top ten of Tennessee’s best restaurants and brings in up-and-coming talent. Then someone decides to use his place to lure a senator’s son to kidnap him for information on two rare red diamonds.
Now Sebastian is invested in finding the culprits. Even if he isn’t a trained professional, he will help Roni in her investigation, despite her qualms.

Roni Staples doesn't know what to do with Sebastian. She's advised him multiple times that she is damaged. Yet, he still pursues her. Why? She certainly doesn’t know. Damn the man. Work has always been her go to when she can’t solve a personal issue. She’d focus on cases.
Sebastian De Santis is frantic. His ex-wife called to tell him his daughter, Cammy, had been taken. The authorities have determined it has something to do with her lobbyist husband. She is confident they’ll find her and tells him not to join the search in New York. No way would he wait in Denning, Tennessee twiddling his thumbs when his gut tells him they’re searching in the wrong direction.
When Sebastian shows up at Roni’s door disheveled, his clothes looking like he’d been in them for a week. What can she do? Help him.

Roni Staples has finally given in. She’s accepted that just maybe she and Sebastian De Santis can build a life together. Damn the man. Cammy is an unexpected bonus; Roni absolutely adores the girl. Life is good.
Cases are keeping her busy. After two or three cases that lead to nothing but smoke she’s bewildered. Since someone is paying her fees, she doesn’t have a choice but to take every case.
Sebastian De Santis is over the moon. His daughter is safe. Roni is on the same page with their relationship. It would be perfect if she would agree to move to Denning, but one thing at a time. Life is good.
Roni does not know she has made a powerful enemy who will continue to send her on wild goose chases until she’s caught up in the web of smoke. When Roni disappears, Sebastian again finds himself frantic. He is not a detective or private investigator. He does the only thing he can, he calls Roni’s former partner for help. Together will they be able to find her?
I'm excited about this series. I love my character's. They remind me of the Beckett's. OH and by the way, they make a cameo appearance in the series.
