It was just as showy as the other. The original little plant now has its tiny container all to itself. It had flowered once, but I missed getting a picture. Maybe I can find a little bigger pot to plant it in that will still fit the basket!
I’m off to get busy. A million things to do as usual!
Hope you are having a super great day!

New Cover–the heroine is actually a green-eyed blond, but back when I wrote this, I couldn’t find a picture that worked. She meets the fae on South Padre Island at the beach, so this better depicts the story.
Original Cover –in the original one, I was going for a Dark Fae look, and so found this photo on Depositphotos. But it was being used way too much. With my minimal skills at editing at the time, and the fact this does not look like any of the characters in the book, and that it has been used on other stories, I wanted to change it to something that looked more like the real story. Even a great artist that I much admire tried to change this to look differently and said she really couldn’t. So time for a redo!
Alicia has planned a vacation at South Padre Island with her girlfriend Cassie in forever. But just as they’re enjoying a day on the beach, here comes a dark fae to spoil their holiday, except only she can see what he truly is. Alicia has no idea how upside down her world can turn with a chance meeting with one of the dark fae from the royal house of the Denkar.
Alicia’s always known she’s different–that she can recognize the mischievous fae when they show up to “play” with the humans. Only now she’s faced with one highly annoyed dark fae and she’s certain he knows the truth about her. She can see him, which means her life is forfeit. Add to that, his sister arrives, who wants to play, too. And their mother, the queen of the Denkar, will want Alicia’s head, once she learns what Alicia can do. And all because Alicia was attempting to rescue her friend, Cassie, on their beach excursion at South Padre Island, from the wicked fae. Now, Alicia has really gone and done it–and she’s thinking she should have let the fae have his fun. Her friend’s broken heart would be a lot easier to deal with, than Alicia losing her life. But it is too late for regrets. As soon as she threw the soda at the dark fae’s chest, she had declared war on the fae. And he is happy to take up the challenge.
Little one is on his way soon. We’re supposed to have storms today, yay! I’m always up for storms as long as I can stay home and watch them and we don’t get tornadoes or hurricanes!
Have a beautiful, beachy kind of day!

The flower seedlings are there but I think I’m more impatient than the grands in waiting for them to fully appear. The two other plants are daylilies and they were bulbs so making a quicker appearance.
My grandson loves his blue box. And my granddaughter has made a fairy garden of hers.
They all have seedlings, but slow to grow. Still, they water them and check them out to see if there are any flowers yet!
Have a great one. I’m off to the torture chamber, AKA pilates.

They are enjoying this lovely day! And I’m off moving plants and having a ball too. 🙂 Though I need to edit 3 books and get it done, as my friend always says. My granddaughter always says, “I’ll do it tomorrow.”
Shades of Gone with the Wind, right??? I told her that tomorrow she might not be able to. Then the next day will do. Don’t put off to tomorrow what you can do today. I don’t know how many times I’ve thought I’ll just do that tomorrow and end up not being able to because of some other things that come up and wish I didn’t put it off. What about you? Procrastinate a little, do we?
Hope your day is wolfishly fun!

Drift rose bushes remind me of miniature roses because they have small flowers and leaves, but they drift. The first one is in the front yard with more sun and water. The other is in the backyard in a lot of shade where the water doesn’t reach. Both bloom profusely throughout the spring and fall.
I’m off to get some writing done. Hope your day is filled with fun stuff!

I’m so excited this rosebush is getting bigger and bigger each year. Not as big as the red rosebush I have in the backyard, but it’s perfect for the front yard!
The light purple salvia is all in bloom also and it’s filled out so much.
In our hot, hot, hot Texas sun everything does better in some shade. The tomato plants I put in full sun are so much more stressed than the ones that have some shade. Some I planted under ferns and they’re really doing well. And the Asiatic lilies that are usually on a couple of inches tall are around 2 feet tall this year. Woohoo! That’s because they’re getting more shade on their roots from volunteer crepe myrtles. They haven’t bloomed yet, but soon!
I’m off to get things done. Well, other things done! Have a fun day!

I have been playing around with updating some of my fae book covers. I’ve also been going through each of the books to make sure the formatting is fine and it’s uniform from book to book and trying to catch a mistake or two. So it’s an involved process.
I’ve been having issues with Word though adding a whole blank page between chapters after a chapter break. So I can’t update the print versions. I’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to fix it. The problem is that I wrote these back when we had Word Perfect, then Word 97 something or other, now Word Docs. I figure that’s some of the problem. But typing up 200 pages + for each book on a new Word Docs doesn’t appeal at all. I can just see myself making tons of new mistakes. And then would it even be all right?
I have to go take little one to pick up big sister. And I received edits in for one of my wolf books I need to start working on.
Hope your day is going great!

Gerbera Daisy. I love these daisies because they have such a large flower. This is the only one that has made it though. I had a lovely Jaguar one–orange, and a beautiful yellow one, but neither came back. This one has been here for about 3 years. I need to plant some more of them in that spot.
Have both grands today. Little one is coming. Bigger one stayed overnight. We were putting together “Wish” legos. She wouldn’t let me help and so I went back to working on revamping some book covers and then she’s hollering at me for not sitting next to her. But if she won’t let me play, I have fun work to do. lol So this is one of the covers. I’m working on The Deadly Fae and The Ancient Fae.
Okay, got to run and get some things done before little one is here and they’re squabbling over things. Little one has had a cold, and it looks like it’s starting to run through the family. Ugh.
Have a super lovely non-squabbling day!
