As I was spinning my Keurig coffee pod holder, a Cold Stone Creamery-flavoured coffee caught my interest. The flavour was “Founder’s Favourite.” Can’t help but be curious about that. When it brews, it has a chocolate scent to it. It tastes like toasted hazelnut. It’s a smooth, clean cup of coffee. I’m happy with my choice.
If we were having coffee, I would share with you that Christmas came early in my house. We got a new puppy. He’s a purebred German boxer. We’re calling him Riggs. He is the sweetest little thing, but he’s so very busy. Maddi, my other dog, is an American boxer; she isn’t purebred. I can see little difference between their snouts, head, and body shape. They are both wonderful dogs. Maddi is the fawn boxer. Riggs is the brindle.


If we were having coffee, I would share that I’m slowly working away at that Christmas puzzle I mentioned last coffee share—the one I failed to finish the first time through. It’s just as hard as I remember. I’m determined to finish it, though. I will share a picture once I meet the challenge.
If we were having coffee, I would share with you that Vizard is now available for purchase. And I didn’t wait to update my book covers. They’re updated and will match the cover for From the Ashes, which I am busy editing.



If we were having coffee, I would slide the coffee pot in your direction and ask about your week.

Weekend Coffee Share is hosted by Natalie the Explorer. I hope you have a chance to join us for a virtual cup.

Ohhhh a new puppy!! How cute! Love his name too, my brothers middle name is Riggs so that gave me a good giggle 🤭 your coffee choice sounds delightful as well.
I really like your updated book covers as well! Well done! I have your series saved on my kindle app and I hope I’ll get to start reading them soon.

The puppy has been a lot of fun. We considered four names: Riggs, Loki, Chaos, and Newt.
Thank you for your support, Alexandra!

Hello, Natalie. So, far Maddi and Riggs have been hilarious together.

Riggs is cute! Our current boxer, Fiyero, is brindle and the last, Eliot, was a mahogany fawn, so a bit on the red side of a true fawn. Boxers are the greatest!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend and have a wonderful week ahead.

Darn, I hit enter too soon! I hate the new WP way of comments! From the boxer comment you may have known it was me, but, just in case..

I agree, Trent, boxers are the greatest. Between Maddi and Riggs my laugh meter is constantly on high. Have a great weekend.

Yes, there is a lot of responsibility attached to a puppy. My older boy does a good job with our older boxer so we shall see how he does with the puppy.

I would have easily gone with Chaos. It is one of my favorite names for a dog. You all are going to live dog antics with lots of laughter.

He creates chaos, so I tend to agree it would have been a fitting name choice.
