Daughter and Son-in-Law got in at 1:30 this morning, but my puppies got me up early as usual. And the dogs are all barking at each other. They want to play with the other dogs, but since I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I can’t handle all 4 of them at once. 🙂
So periodically, there are bouts of barking while I try to keep mine from barking. It’s mostly Rilo. He wants out. He was so cute last night. My puppies were keeping him from seeing him, and when they finally went to my daughter, he was so happy to greet me. But after the initial barking, they greeted each other and were fine. I tried to take pictures, but I think most of them were blurs of dogs.
Even more fun than greeting the other dogs, which became old hat really quick was all the stuff they brought with them. Tanner thought wearing the measuring cup for Rilo and Luna’s food was the best fun.

Well, it smells like yummy food and it’s new.
Gone to the Dogs!
Have a super great day!!! I’m off to play with the dogs and visit with my daughter and son-in-law!

His Wild Highland Lass by Terry Spear
The Highlander’s Charm by Eliza Knight
Heart of Stone by Willa Blair
Kilts and Kisses by Victoria Roberts
http://www.VictoriaRobertsAuthor.com
My Captive Highlander by Vonda Sinclair
His Wild Highland Lass by Terry Spear
Lady Sorcha Barclay fled her brother-in-law’s castle because of his unwanted advances. An awe-inspiring circle of standing stones captures her attention and she captures the attention of the laird who owns the land.
Laird Ronan Daziel takes Sorcha to his castle to protect her and give her a home. Before long, he wants much more. He’s duty-bound to take a wife whose clan wishes an alliance with his. So why does he long to have something more? Everyone loves the lass as much as he does. But he has pledged his loyalty to his clan. Taking Sorcha to wife could lead to battle on several fronts. How can he wed another when she stole his heart from the first moment he laid eyes on her near the ancient standing stones on his lands?
The Highlander’s Charm by Eliza Knight
They should be enemies… But passion and love know no bounds.
Returning from battle to England, Samuel de Mowbray discovers that his two younger sisters have been stolen by Highlanders. Determined to save them from vicious warriors, he convinces the king to send him north. While there, he discovers that his loyalties are wavering and that a headstrong, feisty lass could destroy everything he believes.
Catriona Buchanan must travel north to ask for help in saving her brother and ridding her castle of brutal English knights. Unfortunately, to do so, she must trust in the thing she mistrusts the most—an Englishman. Minute by minute, the man who should be her enemy breaks down her defenses. There is something different about him and she can’t help but be captivated by Samuel, and his steamy kisses.
Heart of Stone by Willa Blair
Riding home after two years away, Gavan MacNabb encounters a lass and her deerhound in a moonlit circle of standing stones. Little does he know the garland of bluebells she weaves and the spell she sings will change the course of his life.
Marsali Murray doesn’t really believe the old wives’ tale that making a chain of bluebells by the standing stones under a waxing moon will bring true love, but she’s desperate to try anything to escape the boring, everlasting sameness of her life.
Gavan has already seen much of the world denied to Marsali. He’s ready to settle down. She is eager to spread her wings. Can they find what they need with each other?
Kilts and Kisses by Victoria Roberts
Since the deaths of her parents, Ceana Gunn has lived in the shadow of her uncle and his family. She wants nothing more than to see her clan the way it was when her father was still laird. But her uncle has other ideas. Ceana soon discovers that the only refuge to be found is in the last place she expects—the arms of her enemy.
Luthais MacKay wants to be left alone. His only interest is training his prized hawks. He certainly doesn’t have time to listen to the petty squabbling of his clan when his father travels to Edinburgh and leaves him in charge. But when Luthais discovers a mysterious woman on his lands, he’s determined to unravel her secrets…one layer at a time.
My Captive Highlander by Vonda Sinclair
Can unexpected passion and a little ancient magic turn enemies into lovers?
During a fierce storm on the west coast of Scotland, Shamus MacKenzie barely survives a galley wreck only to be captured and held for ransom by the enemy MacDonalds. Aided by the gift of second sight, Maili MacDonald, sister of the ruthless chief, senses the handsome, dark-haired stranger will somehow be important in her life. Compelled to help him, she insists on providing him food and a healer to see to his injuries. She knows she is daft to fall in love with this captivating warrior after one forbidden kiss but cannot help herself. With each visit from Maili, Shamus finds his thoughts consumed by the enchanting lass. Can he convince her to help him escape the dungeon and prevent the impending battle between the two clans?

I’ve been up forever, well, since 4:45 to take out the puppies, and have done so 3 more times since then, and haven’t been able to get to my computer to work, still unpacking from two trips and getting ready for my daughter and SIL to arrive for Mother’s Day and birthday celebrations. Sooooo, it seems like I’ve been goofing off all day!
But I wanted to share this before I really settle down to do more work. Then straighten some more.
Enjoy a trip to Scotland. I took this of a reflection of a mountain, a misty cloud overhead and the fall colors abounding. It’s not my camera that makes the world so beautiful but the majesty of the place.
I have to say that we were glad to get home to Texas, which seems so drought-ridden at times, but compared to New Mexico? Green, lush, commanding trees? And yet New Mexico was just as beautiful and fun and interesting to see. And not all of it was without trees. Where we stayed had lots of pines. And even where the volcano was, same thing. But much of the area as we were traveling didn’t. And I kept thinking how forlorn wolves would be out there without water and trees. So I missed the water and the greenery when we were there.
I’ll have to show a picture of the areas I’m talking about later. I was panicking, couldn’t find any of them, thought somehow I had deleted them, then remembered I had to change out disks when I was on the trip! And I need to find the other one. Now where did I put it to keep it safe so I wouldn’t lose it?????
Have a super great TGIF!

No cover yet, but I’m excited to see that SEAL Wolf Diving for Trouble is a preorder now for Feb, 2016. It always makes the book more real! 🙂 <3

Here, Zoerro is giving Rory a kiss. Sabine tried to lick me, but I wasn’t ready for that. My puppies do too, but experts say that dog kisses are bacteria laden, so if your dog is licking your open wounds, you might see infections. Although I’ve read if they lick their own wounds, they can heal faster.
🙂

Working on guest posts for blog tour for July for SEAL Wolf Hunting!
Have a super great Thursday!

Volcanic Spattercone
Spattercone with window on the world
One of the college courses I took was geology and I LOVED it. I would have had a field day seeing sites like this. Well, I did anyway!
It’s amazing to me how long it took for plants to begin growing here, and how they could even now. These trees are filled with iron. So guess what?
Lightning is REALLY attracted to them.
Storms over the Crater
We asked if it was safe to climb to the 8,300+ feet while all this was building. Oh, sure, the ticket seller said.
Well, we did it, even if it wasn’t safe. We were all huffing and puffing–not because we’re so out of shape, well, maybe a little bit, but a lot because of the elevation. Took me forever to find it, but our city has an elevation of 470 feet. So that’s a big jump for us. Yes, I know, blame it on the thin air.
Okay, took Tanner in to be neutered, and got a call from the Vet that he was doing fine, while I’m spending more quality time with Max, the older puppy. 🙂 And pulling bur weeds.
Just a caution of what NOT to do if you want to be a Master Gardner. Do NOT pour weed killer on weeds that also is a grass killer, if you hadn’t intended to kill the grass. Too.
Pulling them is best, but I have SOOOO many, it’s going to take forever. Working on it though.
And…we had a surprise visitor this morning. I was taking the puppies out with me to put out the trash and letting them go potty one last time. I got brave this time and let Max run on his own off-leash, without carrying him out to the mailbox. He was fine.
Until we both saw a skunk!!! Ack. And it was running for the crops and I was yelling at Max to come as he ran after the “doggy” to play. Thank the heavens he turned around and came straight back to me. I had the controller set to low, not enough time to move it to a higher setting, but he was an angel and never gave that other doggy another thought.
DISASTER averted.
Oh, and then when I took Max out this last time, I vowed every time I took him out I’d pull up more weeds, and a tiny frog hopped out of the grass where I was pulling the weed. He ran right into Max, who never noticed him, and hopped to the jasmine ground cover. Then another hopped down the sidewalk. Though I’m wondering if they’re baby toads. I have a toad that’s been in the same area. But they sure looked like baby frogs.
Okay, off to work. 🙂 Enough goofing off with the wildlife!
Oh, and Phantom Fae is now in print!!!

While we stayed at the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary, we took some day trips to areas around there. And one of the places was the ice cave and volcano. Fascinating! It’s amazing how 10’s of thousands of years have to pass before life can begin to grow, and it does.
Large bird’s nest settled on lava rock and above ice cave
They used to take chunks of ice out to preserve food. It’s 31 degrees down there always.
Okay, back to typing up notes. More on the volcano tomorrow. I was starting Bite of the Vampire on the trip to Wisconsin. Couldn’t write on the trip to New Mexico, driving. And I wrote a little on the new medieval Highland wolf book on my trip to Daytona Beach in Feb, but haven’t ever had the time to write up the notes on that one either. 🙂 So that’s what I’m doing today.
Next is working on blogs for the blog tour for SEAL Wolf Hunting coming in July.
Have a super Tuesday! I think I lost Monday somehow!

I am back!!! We were at the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary staying at the cabin there, and here is Zoerro and Sabine, Rory Zoerb holding the leash.

We didn’t expect Rory to bring them up to the cabin and he made our whole trip soooo memorable. We were trying to take pictures of them through the fences at the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary, but I didn’t get very many good pictures. So here, these were great. Thanks to Rory and Susan, who took some of the pictures with me in them, and to all the staff who were incredibly nice. Here I am petting Zoerro and Lor being as thrilled as I was.

I have to say that Debbie and my dream to go to the wolf sanctuary we thought was only a dream. We both worked at the library together and couldn’t go at the same time. So when Rory, who was handling the wolves in the pictures, contacted me on FB and invited me to visit, I asked Debbie if she was ready to go. She said YES!! And when I posted on FB to see who else wanted to go, I had 4 more takers. Donna and Lor ended up going with us and we had a wonderful time. More about all of it, but I have to pick up groceries and my own little wolves. They’re of course domesticated Havanese puppies and no longer of the wild variety, unless they go crazy when I go to pick them up. Which they did last time I picked them up from the kennel!
I’ll share the wolves howling soon. 🙂

We were at the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary and stayed for several days, saw ancient Native American ruins, an ice cave, volcano, and another sanctuary that had several Mexican gray wolves. I’ll be sharing when I can, but I wanted to post this for this morning. We were really roughing it. No internet connection, and no cell phone connection, which meant, NO GPS. Gas stations few and far between. But we had a blast.
I’m borrowing my friend, Lor Melvin’s picture because I haven’t had time or a connection to download anything. 🙂
Have a super great day!!!

First there was:
Cougar’s Mate: Instinct told her to run…
Shannon Rafferty learns that hanging out with the bad boys could be a dangerous business, but hooking up with a cop is even worse. Now she’s on the run, trying to avoid being murdered by his cougar shifter brothers and uncle. If that isn’t bad enough, a deputy sheriff hunts her down while she’s running as a cougar and trying to survive in the Colorado wilderness. He vows to protect her no matter what she’s done. With three dead boyfriends to her name, she’s sure she will be the death of Chase Buchanan before either of them can prevent it. No matter how much she knows she has to run again, he soon holds her heart hostage. But will that be enough to keep them both alive?
Chase Buchanan—as wilderness cabin resort owner, former US Army Special Forces, and part time deputy of the small town of Yuma, Colorado that boasts a love of cougars—is tasked to track down a cougar reported to be hunting human prey. Chase soon learns she’s a shifter, not a full-time cougar, and she’s on the run. When he takes her in, he vows to protect her. After losing his wife and baby to the human kind of predator years earlier, he’s not letting Shannon’s hunters kill her, too. But how is he going to hold onto the wild-cat woman, who is unpredictable at every turn, without losing his heart to her, and then losing her as well?
And then:
Call of the Cougar: Looking for love can be dangerous…
Special Agent for the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife Services, Tracey Whittington, takes down wildlife traffickers and more, but what she doesn’t expect is to be in a shootout, multiple times, when the business turns deadly. Nor does she suspect she’ll be working with Hal Haverton, who serves as a part-time deputy for Yuma Town, Colorado, and runs his own horse ranch. As long as he doesn’t stop her investigative work—she has been placed on administrative leave due to the last shootout—she’ll be just fine.
Hal Haverton has every intention of keeping the wild cat safe, even if it means helping her to solve the case when every time he turns around, she’s involved in another shootout. When her boss asks their good friend, the sheriff, to have one of his deputies serve as a bodyguard for the cougar shifter, Hal’s all for it. So is the other deputy, but Hal’s got this covered. Even if getting somewhere with the lady means having his gun ready at all times. There are definite perks to getting to know the Special Agent better—if they live long enough to do something about it.
My books are all stand alone titles, though they are in the same world in the various series, but they can still be read “out of order” and make sense. 🙂 <3
Why write about cougar shifters? I was writing about wolves that live in the Americas, and jaguars, that are so mysterious and one of the big roaring cats. But I wanted to do one about big cats that live in the States also. The two species of cats have some similarities, but they’re vastly different also. In the parks in Costa Rica, they actually coexist–the jaguars taking down the larger prey, the cougar, the smaller. In many areas, the jaguars would eliminate cougars from their territory that could be eating their food source. So I thought that was interesting.
I’ve got two more books on deadline I have to write and I want to get this one, Taming the Wild Cougar, The Viking’s Highland Lass, and Golden Fae done this year. Tall order. 🙂
Okay, have to get back to work. Have a lovely weekend!! 🙂
