You can look at this two ways–it’s another day to create an adventure, work on something you normally don’t have the time for, live another day in our lives…or, ack, I have to work another day for my boss and don’t get one extra dime for it!
It’s your choice! I look it as having an extra day to do more stuff!
Have a great Leap Day!

Evander Cameron works for the MacNeill wolf pack, taking their Irish wolfhounds to dog show competitions and breeding them, when one of his charges takes off and meets up with his dream dog—a Scottish deerhound. Evander discovers her owner is the kind of wolf he could really fall for.
Alyth MacBain is breeding her Scottish deerhound with a champion when her dog runs off. Now what is she to do? Her puppies might be a mixed breed and the man who owns the stud dog wants one of the puppies for a stud fee!
Who would have ever thought her dog and Evander’s—causing all the trouble they have—could bring them together in such a crazy way? Their chemistry is off the charts when it comes to Evander and Alyth’s interest in each other. But now it appears that someone is intent on stealing her dog to sell her and her puppies and Evander and Alyth have to keep that from happening at all costs.
I was trying to figure out what to post for Lori Foster’s Facebook page and I came up with 4 print books to give away, 4 blogs, and some pictures of photography/artwork/my dogs, etc, to show what I love. Besides writing, of course. So hopefully those work. They were due by noon today.
I’m going to try and put fertilizer down today, just need to see if the sprinklers work. I’ve actually put out granules in the rain before. Works great! But no rain in the forecast for forever. The weeds are growing great though! And the backyard grass is growing too!
So today I’m going to concentrate on Huntress for Hire. I worked on it last night and managed 1,000 words, but also had to do all this other stuff for the takeover tomorrow. I also have the toddler tomorrow, so I’ll be juggling stuff, but no trips to the store because of it. And probably no writing.
Okay, I’m off to work! Have a merry time of it today!!!

I believe I took the original photo of him in Waco. They have a smallish zoo, but I love it and like the Omaha zoo, parking is great. Not so in Houston or San Diego! 🙂
Little one is here today. I turned in Mated for Christmas, yay! I worked a little on Huntress edits last night. I need to do the blogs for the Lori Foster gig. And the taxes. ugh.
So my fountain was empty and I had the brilliant idea of not carrying buckets of water out to it since we aren’t getting any more freezing weather, probably. And I hooked up the hose, turned it on, had a little water, and then nothing. Wait, what? I checked the spigot in front, it was fine. Water is fine in the house. Now what?
Okay, I’m off to get ready for little one. Hope your day is astounding!

One of the squirrely squirrels in my backyard. You see how he’s eyeballing me? They chitter at me, waving their bushy tails, telling ME that I can’t have the bird seed in the feeders. Wait, you guys can’t have the bird seed in the feeders. Right. They totally scoff at me, and at the dogs that love to chase them.
My book blog came up as number 3 on The 40 Best Paranormal Romance Book Blogs and Websites! I’m thrilled! I Love Vampires was number 1. I love their blog!
I’ve been working on proofing Mated for Christmas. What inspired me for the book was that I went to visit my friend in Minnesota and we took in all the sites up in Ely. I loved seeing the wolf reserve up there and then this past time, we went to see the bear reserve also. I love that they have so many lakes, and of course my wolf pack lives on a lake, visited by a real black bear. This story is set in wintertime, where it’s really really snowed in. One of my beta readers, Donna, has to remind me to add more clothes to my characters when I send them out in the snow.
Where I’m at in Texas, we don’t get snow very often. And when I wrote this story, it was probably 110 degrees here. It can be hard to think Christmas thoughts when it’s the middle of the summer! But I always have fun writing them.
Also, on Feb 28th, I’ll be taking over Lori Foster’s Facebook page, and kudos to Lori for giving me the opportunity! I’ll post links when I have them.
In the meantime, I’m halfway done with proofing Mating for Christmas, trying to finish up a marketing plan for my publisher, getting closer and closer and closer to finishing Huntress Unleashed, and waiting to hear if I have a contract for new wolf books coming up. But when I’m waiting for things like that, what do I do? I keep on writing.
Have a great one!

Agent Dylan Powers tracks the bad guys right to Roxie Wolff’s ski lodge and finds love where he least expected…
Fish and Wildlife Service agent Dylan Powers is on a mission in Silver Town to catch four men hunting illegally and put them behind bars. With his heightened wolf senses, he’s right on their trail, but the hunters know he’s coming. Suddenly, Dylan finds himself in deep trouble, nearly drowned and left to die, until he’s rescued by a beautiful she-wolf.
When local ski lodge owner Roxie Wolff first found Dylan, her curiosity got the better of her. Who was this handsome wolf and how did he end up in such dire straits? Things start to heat up between Roxie and Dylan as she takes him into her home to help him recover. But with the hunters still on the run, all of Silver Town is at risk, and Roxie and Dylan team up with the Silver Town sheriff’s department to take them down before anyone else gets hurt.

I took the portrait of the peacock close up and then mixer brush painted it. They are such gorgeous birds. This one was in Hawaii.
I was working on taxes and only managed to get 1,000 words yesterday on Huntress Unleashed, but hopefully I can catch up this weekend. Maybe. But I’m getting there slowly but surely.
Still pulling up that nasty bur clover that has popped up in the front yard. The grass isn’t even growing yet, the the weeds are already trying to take hold. 🙂 So trying to take care of it before it’s overwhelming.
Hope you have a beautiful day.

And he knows it. I took the original photo of the macaw at Moody Gardens, Galveston.
Well, I’m spinning my wheels here, have an idea for a scene or two for Huntress Unleashed, but still messing with the taxes. But I did manage to catch up on word count yesterday too. And hurt my back.
Now, was it from lifting a 35 lb weight several times yesterday? Toddler grandson. Or Pilates on Tuesday? Or lifting bags of dirt into the grocery cart and then into the car and then out of the car? Or pulling weeds? Or pushing 45 lbs of weight, adding the anchor, my granddaughter, who I am pulling along also as she holds onto the stroller handle? Or all of the above????
Could be!
Okay, so I’m off to get some things done. Taxes? Hmmmmmmm. Huntress Unleashed word count? I want to! But I also have a lunch date with my granddaughter that will break up the day and then have to pick her up after school, so we shall see how much I actually accomplish!
Have a super duper, no-strain back day!

Little one will be here shortly, so trying to get this posted. We have to go to the grocery store and I started working on taxes, had to promote the release of this book, and managed finally to get word count yesterday for Huntress Unleashed. I’m up to 45K. I am 2K behind because I was working on proofing Dreaming, but I had to do that, soooo, I’ll try to catch up this week on that. I need 25K more, so on the downhill slide!
Okay, little one is here and it’s pea soup fog out right now. Love it, especially if I don’t have to drive anywhere so we’ll wait a little on going to the store.
Have a lovely day!
