Deer Resting at a Loch

Sep28

I loved the fall colors reflected in the water. And way across the loch was a deer resting in Scotland.

I’m at 59,000 words on Wolf Betrayal. Yay! I was able to plant my new chives and thyme in pots on my patio. Hopefully, they’ll survive there. They died where I had them in the same planter against the fence. I couldn’t get out in this heat to water and weed them, so hopefully with them being on the patio, I can take care of them even on these hot sunny days.

They will last through winter when we have mild ones.

It was cool enough in the morning that I was able to weed some too. But it is still getting to 97.

Okay, I’m off to work on the story!

Hope you’re cooling down if you’re living in a sauna zone!

Brown Bear in Minnesota

Sep24

I took the photo of him at the bear reserve in Minnesota. Then I mixer brush painted him in Photoshop.

Up to 54,000 words on Wolf Betrayal!

Still roasting!

Have a lovely day!

Vintage Truck in Fall

Sep22

I took the photo of the rusted truck covered in plants and trees at a fall festival in Omaha one year. I finally played around with it to create this–where the plants reclaim their world.

Here is the original!

Love vintage and rusted-out vehicles. They need some loving care.

I reached 50,000 words on Wolf Betrayal. Didn’t think I would get any words yesterday, but they finally came to me last night.

Another scorching day.

Okay, off to write. Hope you are enjoying your Tuesday!

Midhope Castle Outer Building

Sep21

I loved the outer buildings, this one covered with moss and ivy in Scotland. Midhope Castle was where some of Outlander was filmed.

Trying to figure out a way to replant chives without losing them in all this heat this time. I moved the box from the garden where I couldn’t easily water it and weed it. It’s on the patio now where I’ve grown them before. So hoping I can take care of them there and they’re thrive. The grandkids love cutting chives for our mashed potatoes.

It’s going to feel like the 100s for several more weeks. Ugh.

Hope your weather is just right!

Orange Cat for Caturday!

Sep19

Cats are so elegant. Whenever I see one, out comes the camera.

I’m at 44,000 words on Bear in Pursuit! Minimum goal is 70K, so getting there.

I wanted to get out and do some weeding, but it’s sooooo hot constantly and all sun today.

Off to write in the cool! Have a lovely day!

Wishing for Rain…but Snow Would Be Nice too!

Sep18

Anything to cool down our sizzling weather. It felt like 107 on Tuesday, 104 on Wednesday, and 97 today, and 99 tomorrow and the next day. So it’s going mostly in the right direction. It’s around 74 instead of 80+ in the morning, so that’s good.

It was cloudy all day, so I got a lot of weeding and trimming done, but it was still 104 with the cloud cover. And the mosquitoes are awful. I wore bug repellent, but it didn’t last long. Plus, I moved a bag of dirt and it was covered by fire ants, so I got bitten.

But today, even though the high is 97, it’s going to be all sun, and that makes it feel even hotter.

Well, I’m off to write on Bear in Pursuit. I’m at 42,000!

Have a cooler day than us!

It’s SOOOO Hot Out

Sep12

This composite reflects the heat. lol

I’m on the last 4 chapters of proofing The Chosen Fae!

I want so badly to weed, but it feels like 107 today. And the mosquitoes are ornery. Killed two in the house last night, but one got his bite in before that and my whole wrist is swollen. They are vicious!

Okay, back to proofing the book!

Hope you’re getting cooler weather!

Storm Coming?

Sep1

Despite the heat, I’ve been getting some hedge trimming done. We might get some of the storm that’s brewing in the Gulf. I hope we get rain, but not wind! I need to run in and get some groceries before that hits us, if it does. I took this picture of the clouds from an airplane.

And I made it to 19,000 words on Wolf Betrayal. Yay!

Off to get my day started. Hope yours is great and that we get rain!

Goddesses in The Chosen Fae

Aug27

The fae stories are a mix of fantasy and paranormal where the fae live in their own world, but go to the human world to play tricks on them–typical fae. You know when you have a body part that goes to sleep? It’s all the fae’s doing. Ever trip and there’s nothing to trip over? Yep, the fae! Can’t find something that you just left sitting in a spot? You guessed it!

I have fun with them. They have fun with us. The Chosen Fae is book 12 in The World of Fae series. I started it when I was in the hospital last year, couldn’t stop writing on it, the scenes just kept coming. I couldn’t sleep, and I would turn on my light and began writing again. It was great.

Well, it’s sooooo hot. I just went out at 5 am, feels like 90. And it will keep going up from there. I was going to cover myself in bug spray because the mosquitoes are rampant and vicious, thinking it would feel cooler this morning, but nope!

We were supposed to have some showers, but it probably won’t happen. Same thing with tonight. We need it so badly.

Hope you are staying cool if you’re as hot or hotter than us!

Wacky Wednesday

Aug26

In The Chosen Fae, the moon and stars are important. I should have added a wolf since they are wolf fae shifters.

I’m on Ch 14 of proofing. I started this story in the hospital last year. I was also writing Protecting the White Bear and finishing it up, but I kept thinking of scenes for the fae story, and so I’m finally nearly finished with it!!

Even though it may seem like I’m writing a book in a month, I’ve actually started some of them much earlier and work on them when I can. Deadly Misfortunes was started maybe 6 years ago? Not sure. So I had a good start on it, but I finally finished it.

I have other stories like that I should peek at and see if I should finish them up too! I do have around 23K on the new jaguar story. But I keep thinking of a new wolf story too. I have a couple of Highland medieval stories that are nearly done also. But they’ll need a lot of revisions.

Hope your day is cooler than ours!!
