Sandhill Crane–Ruffled Feathers

I took this photo in Florida and artified it. 🙂

I have baby today. He’s already given me ten books to read to him. He started singing Baby Shark song.q

Somehow I managed to add ears to 2 more bears yesterday and reached 67K on Bear in Mind while he was here taking his nap and after he went home.

I still need to add noses to the 5 bears and ears to one, so I might get that done today. It feels like 31 this morning. I believe it.

We were supposed to have rain all day, but now it’s just this morning and again when I pick up my granddaughter. We’re driving because of the cold and rain and because it’s so hard to manage the baby in this weather. Though I REALLY need to go to the grocery store and I need odd light bulbs for the kitchen. My daughter told me about a woman who sat in the dark because she couldn’t reach her light bulbs to change them. So I always think of that when my light bulbs been going out. I have another out in the bathroom too. lol It’s just that I need to find the light bulbs!

Okay, I’m off to read another book to baby. I’m glad he loves them.

Have a great day!

Review from Kim Roller at Fresh Fiction!

“An accidental injury leads to a Christmas Wolf Surprise”

Ms. Spear continues her wonderful wolf shifter series with a holiday-themed book that has a happy ever after. CHRISTMAS WOLF SURPRISEis a must-read for Spear fans and brings back some characters you got to know and love and new ones who will tug at your heart. This reader couldn’t put it down and was sad to see the story come to an end.

***

We had 10 1/2″ of rain yesterday. I finished the author interview and turned it in. I made 5 partially completed bears. Some need their ears sewn on, all need noses, and two need to have their paws embroidered for an order, but they’re getting there. I wrote a 1,000 words on Bear in Mind. It’s at 66,000. Woohoo! I’m shooting for 70K, but just writing the final scenes and then the fun starts. I edit all along to figure out what details need to be added, etc. But when the book is finally written, the fun part is reading it all the way through to see what needs to be fixed further. But it’s done, a story from beginning to end. And that’s what I love.

Baby will be here today. We’re supposed to get rain from 7-10 this morning, in the evening, and pretty much all day tomorrow and the same for Wednesday.

Okay, I’m off to work on something before the baby arrives. Did all my chores, so hoping to get a little reading in and then maybe work on the bears or the story when he takes his nap.

Have a fufilling day!

Thundering and Pouring Rain Out

Which means I can’t get my dogs out this morning to relieve themselves. ugh. I even went out with them. NO WAY. They came out, saw the weather, and ran right back inside the house. In a little bit, I’ll put their collars and leashes on and my raincoat on and stand in the rain until they do their business! Well, I fed them their breakfast and they finally went out with me despite all the scary thunder.

Getting wet is really wearing

So I reached 65K, woohoo, up to revising on chapter 17 on Bear in Mind, so getting closer to the end. I also sewed up legs, arms, and bodies for the 2 bears I need to make for the twins. I still need to finish the author interview. Off to work in the storm. I love stormy days.

Have a fun day!

Wolf on the Wild Side–Audio Book Coming Too!

Coming June 6! But also, just sold the audio book rights so it will be out in audio book also. Woohoo!

USA Today bestselling author Terry Spear combines billionaire and shifter romance in a sexy, action-packed paranormal love story with a dash of fake dating.

Billionaire wolf Derek Spencer may have a rocky history with she-wolves, but there’s no one better to take as his date to the latest gala than the wolf he’s had his eye on ever since she applied to be his bodyguard—the remarkable Kate Hanover. Kate checks all the boxes for his perfect mate: she’s smart, sexy, and business savvy, not to mention one of the best bodyguards around.

But ever since Derek gave his bodyguard position to another wolf, Kate has been avoiding him. It’s only when she reluctantly agrees to be his date to the gala that she realizes why: the attraction between the two alpha wolves is undeniable, but Kate doesn’t want to end up as one of the billionaire’s many flings. The more time Kate and Derek spend together, the more they are in danger…of falling deeply in love.

Praise for the Billionaire Wolf series:

“Heart racing action [and] plenty of love and steamy moments.” —Fresh Fiction for Billionaire in Wolf’s Clothing

“A satisfying shape-shifter romantic adventure.” —Kirkus Reviews for A Billionaire Wolf for Christmas

“Spear delivers a layered suspense story.” —Library Journal for Night of the Billionaire Wolf

Okay, so I am still working on Bear in Mind, need to finish up two bears this weekend, and the author interview. It’s going to be warmer today. The low is 57 which was our high yesterday. We’re supposed to get up to 68 and have rain today.

I’m off to feed the dogs and get to work. Have a wonderful day! 🙂

Brrr, It’s Cold Out There!

It’s still cold–33 for us this morning. I have to remind myself it’s winter, despite having 80+ days in December and January!

My granddaughter gets to go to a 70’s themed Get the Groove on dance with her daddy tonight. That is the cutest!

We’re supposed to have rain starting Saturday and all week. I need to get outdoor stuff done today, but I’m diligently re-reading all of Bear in Mind and getting closer to word count and the end. I’m at 63K, shooting for 70K.

I’m off to get my tea. My newest favorite (love English Breakfast, Highland Heather, Lavender teas) is Maple Espresso. It’s maple black tea. Yum.

Okay, I’m off to get more of my day started. The dogs want FOOD now, or before, if they could have had it and I’ve got to go out with them in the wintry cold too.

Have a wonderful day! Enjoying mine before we get socked in with storms!

Will the wave reach them? Or not?

I’m working on an author interview, so off to finish it up. I reached 62k on Bear in Mind yesterday.

It’s very cold today–36 degrees for us. Flowers are beginning to bloom!

I’m off to get my work done. Still fighting this cold after 2 1/2 weeks. Ugh.

Hope you all have a delightful day!

Our Wild Storms

The pictures were a little blurry. I was trying to juggle an umbrella and keep the baby and my granddaughter moving through the rain to the car. We had nearly 8″ of rain, but by the time I picked her up, it was no longer thundering and lightning. The water was all the way up to the sidewalks we use.

We were under tornado watch until 6 pm, but down south, they actually had a tornado. We were lucky. We don’t have any more rain until Saturday and we’ll have rain until Thursday, but that’s just speculation.

No baby today, no rain, so I’m going to get busy on the story! Have a super fun day!!!

Capturing Reflections

Storms in the middle of the night. I saw where we were supposed to have them, but it’s always a toss up whether they come to fruition or not. They did. We had an inch of rain.

Little one will be here before I know it! I started a pot roast and we’re going to stay in today! Except for picking up big sister. But if the weather reports are true, we’ll be having terrible thunderstorms and wind this afternoon again so we’ll be driving today.

I love capturing reflections! Eight turtles in a row–two little babies together.

Okay, off to get some more stuff done before little one is here!

Have a wonderfully reflective day!

Nap Time!

We had a really busy morning–shipped off 7 bears and juggled baby while we went to the grocery store. He got to ride in a cart with steering wheels, so he was having fun and grandma was making the zoom zoom and beep beep noises. Sorry, kid at heart. We came home, had brunch, fed the dogs, and now everyone is down for a nap!

That gives me time to work on edits on Bear in Mind before he wakes up and we pick up his big sister from kindergarten.

Cold this morning, felt great!

Hope you all have a stupendous day!

It’s All Turning Lemony!

I turned in Wolf on the Wild Side, added a few hundred words to Bear in Mind, finished the 2 bears for orders, started working on 2 new bear fabrics, finished 1, and voila, this is Mellow Yellow Frost Bear.

The yellow is more mellow than this shows.

And the lemony spruce that really does smell like lemons:

Okay, I’m off to work on Bear in Mind. I didn’t get any trimming done yesterday, so I’ll try to get some of that done today. 🙂

Have a sunshiny, lemony day!
