The Kindred Spirits Mystery

This is book 3 in the Oscar the Doxie Detective Cozy Mystery Series.

It is October in Happy Hills Arizona and strange things are happening. We’re talking about things that go bump in the night.

Oscar and the Happy Hills Canine Detective Club work to solve a century old mystery involving a stagecoach robbery and a missing strongbox heavy with gold and silver. Oscar’s patience is tested as he must rely on “spirits” to save his Sara from harm.

*Contains mild paranormal activities.*

A short fun light-hearted cozy mystery you can probably read in an hour or so. Pour your favorite beverage, power up your e-reader, sit back and enjoy seeing the world through the eyes of Oscar the doxie detective. I’m guessing after reading this canine adventure, you’ll realize your own dog knows a lot more than you think.

P.S. From the Author: This is not a children’s book. It is a fun, clean adult cozy mystery.

It was difficult choosing just one event that had a long lasting impact on my adult life. The one I’m sharing happened when I was probably ten or eleven years old. I recall it as vividly as if it was yesterday.

Two doors down from my childhood home lived my friend Mary. Mary’s younger brother, who was about my age, had special needs – he was learning challenged. School was frustrating for him. His teachers were making little progress teaching him the ABC’s. He’d start crying if you asked him to open a book or brought out paper and pencil. Something inside of me knew I had to help.

Twice a week we would play school. I would pretend to be a teacher and he was my student. At first he was apprehensive and then it became a fun game. Personally, I took our time together seriously. My goal was to help him gain not only basic educational skills, but greater self-confidence.

Within a month I’d taught him to write his ABC’s. I was thrilled when his teacher sent a note home congratulating me on a job well done. How did this experience change my life? I knew from that moment on that my life’s mission was to become a special education teacher. Yes, I did go to college and became a special education teacher. Even today I am still a teacher. I may not be in a classroom, but I believe I teach through my blogs, books, coaching and MasterMind programs. My basic personal and professional mission has never changed: Every morning I vow to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

What event in your life was so powerful that it changed your life forever?

A side note: I seriously think teaching is embedded in my DNA. I’m making it a goal, to search my ancestry to see how many educators there are in my family tree.

It’s been a while since I’ve worked on the third Oscar book.
I’m not sure why…

BUT I found this and wanted share – so cute and made me smile. I love those doxie ears.

Goal: Get writing on the 3rd Oscar the Doxie Detective mystery and have the newest in the series available on Kindle before the end of October!

There, I said it.

My desire has always been to share the day-to-day and year-to-year struggles I’ve had with self-sabotage. For years I didn’t understand why I seemed to yank the rug of success out from under myself. Then, it all became clear.

Around 1992 I started journaling what I was feeling and doing when I began undermining success. I gradually started to see tell-tale signs and patterns of negativity emerge. The more I became aware of my own self-sabotaging tendencies and the more I talked with other women, I realized I wasn’t the only one yanking the rug of success out from under myself.

Why would anyone want to sabotage success and happiness? It’s not like we deliberately set out to sabotage ourselves. Self-sabotage is something we do unconsciously. I dislike saying it, but self-sabotage becomes a habit – something we accept as a part of how we’re living life.

In 1994 I sat down and wrote How to Give Yourself the POWER to Succeed based on my personal journey to overcome self-sabotage. In 1996 I published and started selling my book at workshops and speaking engagements. POWER was an instant success. So many woman came up to me to say, “I thought you were telling my story.”

How To Give Yourself The Power To Succeed: Recognizing the things you’re doing that may be keeping you from the things you want, is currently available on Amazon.com as a paperback and Kindle. POWER has been revised and expanded over the years, but there will always be a special place in my heart for my first book.
