Jurassic Period & Happy Halloween!!

Oct31

I loved Jurassic Park, and then a lot of the movies that followed weren’t half as good, but I loved the characters and the world in the first one. So every time I see a cool shot with dinosaurs, I imagine being there. Not that I would want to be. Really. I mean, back in time. I’m afraid I wouldn’t last! Can you imagine just fighting off the mosquitoes? You think they’re bad now!!!

Baby is on  her way over here for the day. Halloween is today. And I’m running out of time. Need to turn in Billionaire Wolf Christmas tomorrow and am doing the final read on it. I have 31 chapters and an epilogue, acknowledgements to write, another snippet of a scene I want to add, and…. I’m only on ch 6.

We’ll be dressed for Halloween, I’m wearing a medieval kind of costume tonight. And baby and daughter and I are handing out candy, and watching Lady in White and having dinner together. 🙂 Can’t wait!!

What are you doing?

Happy Halloween! Stay safe!

Foggy Days Remind Me of Fall

Have a great one!!

Helping Others

Oct30

When was the last time that someone picked bugs off you? Felt good, didn’t it! Well, just remember to be a good guy and pick them off your buddy.

Down to the wire on the last edits on Billionaire Wolf Christmas. (My beta reader is having trouble with her emails, so we had to do this by phone and will have to do the last half of the book today when she has time.) Keeping up with word count on My Highlander also. Tomorrow is Halloween and that means baby day first, and Halloween next, so no time for Billionaire wolves….

And I need to get some books off to a great lady who ships them Overseas to female soldiers for Christmas… So hope to do that today!!

Have a great day!!! And remember to do a good turn for someone else and maybe you’ll have someone do a good turn for you. 🙂

We’re Not in Kansas Anymore…

Oct29

Have you ever felt that way????

Picture of my neighbor’s grand-daughter, Tin Man and my havanese–Tanner is telling Max that it’s okay. Momma will take off the hats soon and then they can go home…

And a pumpkin house for OZ.

Waiting on final edits for Billionaire Wolf Christmas, and working on My Highlander. The key is to set the word goal on the calendar. Makes me much more accountable. But I also want to decorate for Christmas before my son and his girlfriend get here for Thanksgiving. Why? No, not because the stores started back in…well September,  or earlier, but because we’re going to try and take some Christmas pictures and it’s the only time we all will be together. And they’ll be here early, so it’s coming soon!!!

This will be the first time my son will see his niece. 🙂 <3

Off to get to word count. Have a fun day and try not to end up where you didn’t plan to, unless it’s for fun. 🙂

Dreaming of Swimming in the Sea

Oct28

Her mermaid tail may be a little small, but she’s growing into it.

Autographed books at 1960 Champions, West Houston, Barnes and Noble! My daughter had to go there to pick up some books for a special literacy program for her school district for stories from around the world. I loved reading fairy tales from around the world when I was a kid.

So after school, I picked her up and I found some of the early rhyming books because my grand-daughter loves to hear me sing them. (Not that I can carry a tune, mind you. Thankfully, she’s so little, she doesn’t know any better and just smiles away.) Whenever she is bored, I sing her Bah, Bah Black Sheep, Row, Row, Row Your Boat, and Mary Had a Little Lamb. Couldn’t remember anything else. lol So now I’m armed with a big book of rhymes.

I’m still working on finishing Billionaire Wolf Christmas, just waiting on the last beta reader’s edits, and then approved All’s Fair in Love and Wolf cover, and working on My Highlander. But I see some beautiful clouds, so off to take a picture in the cold, cold weather.

Have a fun day!!! 🙂

Pumpkin Time!

Oct27

Baby is here and we’re playing with pumpkins. (The free photoshop overlay is here: https://ashedesign.com/collections/freebie1?ct=t(10_27_17_5onFriday)&mc_cid=02eefed537&mc_eid=6d5a683688

And the Tin Man of the Wizard of Oz at the arboretum in Dallas!

So baby and I are here being sick still. There’s nothing worse than trying to wipe a baby’s runny nose when she is fighting it! Otherwise, we’re having fun.

Have a great pumpkin day!

Arctic Wolf Pack and Cheetah!

Oct26

Wild grasses at the wetlands in Dallas, and a cheetah and an Arctic wolf pack at the Big Cat Org near Fort Worth. Love cheetahs!!! And the wolves were especially what I wanted to see, but they wouldn’t let us “see” them. Thankfully, my zoom lens was able to capture the beautiful pack as we were led through the park away from seeing the wolves. I’ve been to tons of wolf reserves, and none where the tour guide would say, “We’ll upset the wolves if we walk near them.”

We are enrichment to them, as long as you don’t have an obnoxious kid or adult in the group. But you can see how curious they were about all of us. One tiger had been in a circus, boo, so he didn’t like to be on display, and I don’t blame him. But “nobody” else minded–the tigers, bears, cheetah, or wolves. They came to drink their water, close to where we were, watched us. We were as much entertainment for them as they are for us.

Meeting deadlines: The thing about deadlines is they cometh and they goeth. So if you don’t get your act together, they cometh and goeth before you’re ready…and you can’t stop them!!! I always think, when I’m getting down to the wire on one, or several, that this too shall pass. Hopefully, when I’ve met them though!!!

I turned in Flight final proof and Billionaire marketing materials request. I spent all the rest of the day reading the other wolf book. And I just received one beta read back so will be spending all morning +, making changes on Billionaire Wolf Christmas. I HAVE to get groceries too. Still fighting this cold, coughed half the night. Ugh. But I’m nearly there!!!! On meeting deadlines. So close….

Hope you meet all your deadlines and have fun doing it!

Have a great deadline free day!!!

Did You See the Beauty?

Oct25

Or did you pass it by?

In the tunnel that goes from one part of the Dallas zoo to another, there were beautiful paintings of beautiful animals. I took pictures of the leopard and Arctic wolf and wished they had one of a wolf. They could have a home with me.

But now it’s back to reality! I’m finishing up proofing Flight of the White Wolf.

Arctic Wolf on a Walk

May 1, 2018

Sexy, hot Arctic wolf, private investigator Gavin Summerfield, is on a mission: learn if an heiress’s husband is cheating on her, but he doesn’t expect to meet up with the woman who tased him some years earlier, who is now…an Arctic wolf like him. Her mission: Keep her secrets from the former cop who could be her undoing…but when the wolf instincts take over, watch out!

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Alls-Fair-Love-Wolf-Silver/dp/1492655813

B&N: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/alls-fair-in-love-and-wolf-terry-spear/1127125943?ean=9781492655817

And I need to finish that and the marketing materials for Billionaire Wolf Christmas today. Picked up baby’s cold and so have been fighting with it through all the wild runnings arounds in Dallas and Fort Worth. She’s still got her cold too. 🙁  Plus I have beta edits coming in so I need to make those changes to Billionaire Wolf Christmas, and turn it in. AND, I have to read a wolf book for an endorsement. All due in just a couple of days.

It will get done. Somehow. 🙂

Okay, off to finish up Flight. I have 75 pages left. Woohoo!

Have a great one!!!

Butterflies and Flowers…

Oct24

Monarchs were all over the gardens at the arboretum, and then not sure what this other is, but caught it at the wetlands. 🙂

Had a ball at the Buns and Roses Tea and all the other great things we did–Big Cat reserve, wetlands, book signing the night before, Dallas zoo, Fort Worth zoo, arboretum, and today is grandbaby day, but after that….it’s back to writing.

Have a super, duper day!

Light and Shadow

Oct23

I loved how the dark and light gave the photos mood. The flamingos were magical, the tiger mysterious, the parakeets fun.

Later, I want to show the interaction between some of the animals: one of the elephants pushing a baby around, parakeets feeding each other (if I was able to catch it), and hippos baring their teeth at one another. I usually don’t see that much interaction between the animals. So it was fun to capture.

I’ve been asked for marketing materials for Billionaire Wolf Christmas and that means cover art time.

Have a wonderfully magical day!

Pattern Recognition

Oct22

Baby giraffe, baby zebra, and then baby…whoops, no baby. Just a beautiful parakeet. I don’t have all my pictures uploaded, so I don’t have a lot of the photos that I can group in the “proper” pattern. But we could use our powers of imagination and envision that’s a baby parrot. 🙂

Have a great one!!!
