Violent Storms, More on the Way…

dogs and bears 025 (640x427) dogs and bears 026 (640x508)dogs and bears 027 (640x499)Last night, violent storms rocked the area, under tornado warning, had hail and 16 inches of rain in 24 hours. So lots of roads under water, lots of schools and businesses closed. AND NO electricity for 45,000 homes. We were without electricity from last night through most of today. We had it for about an hour, kids came over with dogs, and we watched part of a show, then they left, and as soon as they shut the door, the electricity went out again. I called them with the news. Then they brought over board games and we played those, figuring we might have to try and eat out or order out, but the electricity came on after several more hours, and I hurried to make a quick pizza!

More storms on the way tonight, tomorrow and tomorrow night.

I took a few pictures while it was raining and we had no electricity. Had to find something I could do. Vacuum? Nope. Have tea? Nope. Sew on the machine? Nope. Write on the computer? Nope. Couldn’t even see much to do anything as dark as was even with all the blinds open.

dogs and bears 024 (640x427)We did play a dvd on my laptop as it still had a charge. 🙂 It’s amazing what you can do and can’t do without electricity. 🙂

Hope you had a great one!dogs and bears 026

Golden Fae Book Trailer!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeboRn1O6xk

How does the golden fae get into big time trouble with one fiery dragon? When playing with fire…

All the golden fae wanted to do was to pick mushrooms for her mother—in the forbidden dragon fae territory, but Kayla sees dragons practicing for their games, and she gets caught at it. She loses her locket that she needs to have when she comes of age in just a couple of weeks so she can keep her magic as a lavender grower for the golden fae. Only now, one highly annoying dragon shifter fae has got it, and she will do anything to get it back.

Alton can’t believe it when the golden fae arrives at his friend’s castle wearing the dragon fae aura now! But he has a mission to go on, save a human and a dragon fae in the human world, and Kayla ends up there offering to help—anything to get him to give her locket back to her. Only a fae seer shoots him with an iron bolt, and Kayla risks everything, trying to get him and the captured maid safely back home again.

Now he will do almost anything to learn the mysterious golden fae’s secrets, and protect her from his own kind at all costs.

Hope you enjoy the video. The castle, bracken and I believe the woods were photos I took in Scotland. The clouds, lavender, fairy statue with flowering garlic chives, and mushrooms from my home, and the ocean from Daytona Beach.

Off to finish proofing the print version one last time, and then I’m back to the beginning of SEAL Wolf Undercover! Have a beautiful day!

We have strong storms through Thursday of next week. I was working on bears last night, taking a break on books for a moment, have 4 bear orders, but then I did write about 500 words of the beginning of SEAL Wolf Undercover. 79,500 words left! But you gotta start somewhere! 🙂 And I got groceries!

Have a lovely day. I predict–rain, for here anyway! 🙂 <3

It’s Time to Publish!

koi colorful (800x533)A picture of koi at the Waco zoo, I took a few years back is still my favorite!

I worked from early in the morning until late last night on Golden Fae, and today, I will be formatting it with Vellum, but it is only available on Mac. So I convert it there, upload to Apple, which is only accessible also on Mac, and then I mail the files for the other venues to my PC, and upload everything to the other sites. Then wait for the book to be available. Ha!

tomatoes, frog sculpture, puppies 001 (640x427)My green bell peppers are just sitting there. Maybe they’re a little taller than before. But they don’t seem to be.

I keep working. I worked on the print book all day yesterday, proofed it and the ebook/mobi version again, and so I’ll be working on uploading the print book after that. I also need to make the print book cover.

And then? I’ll be starting the next wolf story due to my publisher in July. Though after I do all this, I REALLY need to go to the grocery store!

But first, I  had to say good morning, y’all! And then I’m off to work!

No time to celebrate! As soon as the book is available, I’ll drop in and offer all the links. Preorders are wonderful, but they also bind me to a date. I didn’t want to do that this time. 🙂 <3

Have a delightfully, fae-mischief free day!

I’m Done!!!! But Not Really Done!!!

tomatoes, frog sculpture, puppies 021 (427x640)See the itty bitty tomatoes? These are Sweet Million, so they’re cherry tomatoes. Some are in the baby stage, just formed. Some are in the grownup stage and ready to ripen. Golden Fae is done! I finished writing it! But now, it must ripen. I’m the sun, and I’m helping it along. That means reading it to catch mistakes, and to catch those loose ends. I make notes for myself as I’m going along. Wait, I have 2 names for one of the characters? Wait, her mom said nothing about her new hairstyle. Wait, the dragons were practicing routines for the games that would include partners, and I didn’t mention it? Wait, she was going to wear colored contact lenses. What happened to that?

So as I read, I cover all the loose ends. No way is Kayla going to stick something in her eye, for one…

I need to copyright it. I have to format it for print because I know all my print readers will feel neglected, create the cover, proof it again, and then, it’s ready!!!

I need to do the print version of Deadly Liaisons too. Some say print is dead. But I love print books. I stare at a monitor all day and until I go to bed. So print works for me.

But enough chitchat! I’m reading the last 30 pages, and then getting ready to work on the print version and the print cover. I also have a guy coming over under the home warranty to fix a door handle that came off in my hand yesterday. It’s funny, not, but I’ve lived here since Jan 8, and this is the first time it’s done it. And now, every time I grab it, forgetting that it’s not secure, it either is in my hand, separated from the door, or on the floor, because I release the handle and it flies off. And my next-door neighbor is going to put in shelves for me in one of the coat closets. We both had two, and a place to hang jackets by the garage door. Why would you need 3 separate areas for coats when this is near Houston, Texas, and NO linen closet?

Has to be designed by someone who doesn’t think of where the towels need to be??? And sheets and blankets??? I have them stuffed in closets right now, so inconvenient.

And have 4 more bear orders! Working on them now too. Okay, really back to reading, AND exercising. I’m walking in place whenever I proofread. I set my keyboard up on a box, and then I don’t have to stop, lean over and make corrections. So multi-tasking, yes! 🙂

Have a great day!!!

My Book is Growing by Leaps and Bounds!

I’m now 15,000 over my minimum. I can’t stop writing! And writing. And writing. But that’s a great thing, isn’t it?

It’s nearly to the end. I mentioned that 15,000 words ago. So apparently, it wasn’t. 🙂

I’ve been hitting this hard for days, the scenes just coming, the characters talking to each other no matter what I’m doing–taking the puppies out for a potty break, fixing meals, wait! Hold on! Keep that thought…or scene, the dialogue! Wait until I’m back at my keyboard!

I wanted to start Cougar Trouble after this, but I’m going to have to jump on the next wolf book. Have to keep moving, don’t look back, only look forward.

variegated iris and skyrocket holly flowers 006 (640x427)But I do stop to take a picture or two or three while I’m at it. These are tall narrow boxwood and they have flowers! I think they say they are inconspicuous, but it looked like millions of new leaves were sprouting, so I took a closer look, and they’re tiny flowers.

variegated iris and skyrocket holly flowers 001 (640x427)And I picked up a butterfly Iris variegated plant. Odd angle, but I was trying to show my friend that it doesn’t have an exposed rhizome like the bearded irises do. What I liked about it is that it’s unusual and eye catching even when not bearing flowers. 🙂

Okay, that’s enough chitchat! Hope you have a super great day!

You know what I’m back to! The NEVER Ending Story. 🙂 Golden Fae.

The Characters are Speaking to Me!

Yes, I’m not crazy! The scenes are appearing in my mind’s eye, and I have to write. Golden Fae is nearly to the end. I’m 4,000 words over word count. I love this when I finally know the truth. I know the reason for all the madness. I am all knowing. lol So before other things like real life clutter my thoughts, I leave you with a fantasy, though real, pictures of Scotland, but they are so beautiful, so majestic, so fantastical, that it’s pure magic. Do you see the magic in the world too?

heather creek (427x640) (3)bottm half of waterfall (640x427)

Scottish Thistle (2) (640x427)

Can you see the heather blooming beside the creek? See the water falling, smell the spray, hear the rush as it meets the pool of water down below? And of course, Scottish thistle. I will leave you to ponder it while I’m off to capture the next scenes in the book!

Have a super great day!
