I love the newest novel in the Bree Taggert series by @melindaleighbooks.bsky.social. It has the most dogs, and they save the day!! This is a great series and I can't wait to read the next one. My review was first posted on Bookreporter. #booksky #bookreview #dogs

Bree Taggert #11 has a cover! Now I just have to write it 😂 #bookseries #crimefiction #bestsellingseries #mystery #thriller #writerslife

If you haven't read any of the Bree Taggert series by @melindaleighbooks.bsky.social, now is a great time to start! My review was first posted on Bookreporter.com. pamelakramer.com/2025/03/13/t...

Beginning a new book is hard. I hate my opening chapter but I’m trying to move on because I don’t have an another idea. I know I can rewrite it later when I think of something better. Yet my brain doesn’t want to move on. Why am I like this? #writing #authorlife #amwriting

Today, I’m working on the first book in a new series, starring true crime writer Olivia Cruz. After writing 10 Bree Taggerts in a row, it feels refreshing. Does anyone remember Olivia? She first appears in the Morgan Dane series.

Thank you readers! TRACK HER DOWN is the #3 fiction audiobook in the US. #audiobook #Bestseller #BreeTaggert #authorlife #crimefiction

Beautiful morning for a trip to the park. #rescuedog #authorlife #newyear2025

This butter. Wow. #butter #frenchbutter

Made a trendy cottage cheese and egg white wrap, added plain Greek yogurt, feta, leftover veggies, and pickled onions from the last farmer’s market of the season (where I got to pet 4 dogs and an alpaca!) Clipped fresh dill from my hydroponic garden #authorlife #farmersmarkethaul #healthyfood

Trees are decorated! #authorlife #christmastree #holidays

The bad news: today’s bread was doughy inside. (I suspect it was too cold to rise properly.) The good news: we have homemade croutons. #homemadebread #baking #authorlife

Bandit is big mad he’s stuck in the home gym with me while the electricians work upstairs. 🤣 #rescuedog #authorlife #spicydog

Other people do yoga. I practice doga—yoga with dog obstacles. #rescuedogs #authorlife #rescue #fitafter50

And that’s a wrap on edits for Bree Taggert’s 10th book—Beyond Her Reach—releasing Sept 2025. Don’t worry! You don’t have to wait that long for more Bree. #9 comes out in January! #breetaggert #bookseries #crimefiction #books #policeprocedural #mystery #thriller #bestsellingauthor
