Christmas Wolf Surprise–Oct 11!

Sep30

Fresh Fiction Review!

Christmas Wolf Surprise
Terry Spear

Reviewed by Miranda Owen
Posted September 29, 2022

With CHRISTMAS WOLF SURPRISE, Terry Spear proves she writes some of the sexiest nice guy heroes in Romancelandia. Although this is a paranormal romance, CHRISTMAS WOLF SURPRISE is very much a story about family dynamics and will appeal to romance fans who appreciate stories about a sweet hero trying to merge his life with that of the woman he loves. This story has all the feels. The llama drama was a cute touch. I look forward to reading the next installment in this Red Wolf series.

with the Red Wolf series, featuring:

• Red wolf alpha hero’s world is turned upside down by an alluring human woman

• A heart-wrenching decision brings high stakes to the holiday season

• A gorgeous setting in the Pacific Northwest

• The action, steam, and pack dynamics you’ve come to expect from Terry Spear

Red wolf shifter Maverick Wilding is preoccupied with managing the Christmas activities that make the reindeer at his ranch so popular during the holidays, until a run-in with werewolf hunters cause the worst sort of trouble for his kind.

Gina Hutton is out on a Bigfoot adventure in the forest with her brother James when she is suddenly immersed in an adventure far more dangerous and surprising than she ever could have imagined. When she falls head over heels she is torn between the new world of wolves she is discovering and the world she must leave behind.

A hot paranormal shifter romance full of adventure and passion from USA Today bestselling author Terry Spear. Perfect for readers of Christine Feehan, Patricia Briggs, and Nalini Singh.

Now I’m off to work on some more of Roxie Wolff’s story out of Silver Town. It’s up to 85K. Yay!!! And I have a way to go. But it’s getting closer now to THE END.

It’s a beautiful 58 degrees and because of the low humidity this week, 58 means 58. I actually walked 4 miles yesterday–to the school to have lunch with my granddaughter and then to pick her up after school and walk home. She said she was hot. Her legs were tired. Carry me.

But I kept telling her we were almost home. 🙂 And then we were! It was 84, and just fine. It’s supposed to be 83 today, so I’ll walk again. When we had the high humidity, we’d have to add 6-10 degrees to that for the heat index because it would feel so much hotter. I had so much fun walking! Next week it will be back up to 90. *sigh*

I’m off to work. Have a stupendous day!

Mockingbird Feeding Junior

Sep29

I played with textures to add to the photo. I love capturing shots of Mom and Dad birds feeding their offspring.

Still working with little one on her words. Enjoying the cooler mornings, hoping everyone in Florida makes it through the hurricane all right. I’m still working on Roxie’s story. It’s up to 82K. Still need to finish the story. lol

Having lunch with my granddaughter at school today. We were negotiating. Her: chicken nuggets and french fries from the clown place. How about I make us a pizza. She says, “No. I’ll eat all my chicken nuggets.” I knew she would. But I wanted to make our lunch for us. “How about chicken sticks that I make and you can pick your own chips, and I’ll bring applesauce.”

“Okay!”

lol, now I have to figure out what I can make for me to eat. And I have to figure out how to finish the story.

Hope you all have a wonderful day! 🙂

Fishing Cat

Sep28

Isn’t it cute? This one was at the zoo in Omaha.

Well, I made it to 81K, almost and a half. But both my dogs had thrown up in the morning, so I washed them, their bedding, the towels to dry them, and then I was doing a ton of cutting down trees. It was cooler. Yay! In fact cold first thing. It was great.

It’s the same way this morning. More yard work, more editing and writing, but back to picking up my granddaughter from school. Off to get to work. No more dilly dallying.

Have a lovely day!

A Thoughtful Fairy

Sep27

Created with Dalle.

So I made my 80K minimum word count for Roxie’s story. I still have a long way to go to finish the story, but no more concern of making word count. My little granddaughter was sick, so no picking her up yesterday or today from school. She has an ear infection. She’s missed a total of 3 days of school already and they only allow 10 sick days in a school year, which is ridiculous. She’s only in the 2nd month of school!

Okay, I’m off to write. Have a super cool day!

Sometimes You Just Don’t Know

Sep26

Who the good guy is in all this.

Well, I was out all morning picking tomatoes and pulling dead plants and weeds that are perfectly thriving.

Back to the story! I should make 80K minimum word count on Roxie’s story today.

Have a fun day!

Still Working on Roxie Wolff’s Story

Sep24

But thinking also of the next book to write/finish. I have several books I’ve written that haven’t been published yet, that need heavy revisions, and I have tons of book covers. I NEED to match them up with stories I already have, or finish the ones that are partway done! Really! But I also need to come up with 3 more wolf stories I will write for Sourcebooks for next year. I think I’m a hamster on a writing wheel. But I love it too.

Okay, I’m off to play with Roxie some more.

Have a stupendous day!

A Statue Come to Life

Sep23

I love this fairy sculpture, but I always wanted to turn it into something more real. This is the original sculpture.

She’s beautiful either way, I think.

When my granddaughter was little, she would fall asleep in my arms when we’d read stories or play music. So yesterday we’d practiced her reading words and she typed them up on my computer. Her mom was late in arriving, so I put on some oldies on the internet and she was enjoying the music and fell asleep in my arms. That will never get old for me.

I’m at 72K, yay! 8K to go.

Have a great Friday!

Owl in the Woods

Sep22

Created with MidJourney, worked on eyes and added the textures.

More hot heat for us. 99 degrees for our high today, not to mention the heat index. It’s Sept 22? Really? It’s going to be this way the rest of the week.

Too hot. But next week, at least it will dip down into the 60s in the morning, yay! Still the 90’s but not this hot.

I’m still getting a lot of weeding done. Back to the book!

Have fun!

Cougar Cub

Sep21

They’re so cute when they’re little, but I recommend not keeping one because they get big and hungrier.

Well, we had some excitement in the neighborhood. All day, guys hauled out someone’s household stuff across the street and piled it up in the driveway. It looked like even kitchen cabinets. I figured if it was a hoarder’s house, they would have put a big container out there and fill it up, not just dump it on the driveway. That had happened when I lived in Crawford and the original owner had died, and his son inherited it. He and his girlfriend were hoarders. When they wouldn’t pay on the taxes or the house, the bank took it over, and they put two containers out there to gut the house. It was a mess. But at least we had acreage out there.

So I asked a neighbor, all of us wondering what is going on. The guy lived their for 3 years without paying on his mortgage. The bank foreclosed on him but he wouldn’t answer the door to be served the eviction notice. They finally went to the back door and served him.

The house was full of cats, no working air conditioning, and today it was 106 degrees heat index, so the guys going inside had to wear masks the smell was so bad.

So that was my exciting day, beyond having lunch with my granddaughter.

Have a wonderful day!

The Problem with Tropical Milkweed

Sep20

This is tropical milkweed. The problem? The Monarch caterpillars ONLY eat off milkweed. The problem with tropical milkweed? It lasts and lasts and lasts, sometimes through mild winters, which means the butterflies lay their eggs too late here and don’t fly south early enough.

I know, because I’ve had them emerge when it’s too cold and they don’t survive. But I didn’t know there was another variety.

So I’ve been pulling up all my tropical milkweed, and I need to get a variety that isn’t tropical. Tropical, apparently, have multi-colored flowers like these. The other variety doesn’t. So I’m off on a search for a different milkweed to help sustain the monarchs.

In the meantime, I’ve got to get back to writing. I promised my granddaughter that I’d come and have lunch with her. She wants me to get the clown food, ie, Jack-in-the-Box chicken nuggets, but don’t forget the french fries. She reminded her mom not to pack her lunch for today. Last week was the first week we ate together. I loved it. She loved it.

When my kids went to public school, they didn’t have family visitation like this. It’s really nice.

AND we made some progress on reading!!!! I actually got one of the Dick and Jane books out for her and though the first few stories are super simple, those are words she needs to learn, so she was thrilled to finally be able read them, instead of just flash cards!!!

Okay, really off to work.

Have a super fun day!
