These are unusual. They have white on one side and black on the other and red in the center. Love miniature roses.
We had a super busy day yesterday–swimming, lunch out, mall window shopping. It’s so hot that going to the playground isn’t an option. Even at 4 this morning, it feels like 86 degrees out.
I’ve been editing the first 8 chapters of Wolf Bound, which means taking out and rewriting and adding in. Which means I only added 500 words yesterday. So 1500 words from minimum word count goal. Woohoo!
Today, we’re swimming this morning, though before the pool opens, I’ll get some writing in. And then having grilled burgers for Memorial Day.
Okay, I’m off to get something done before I can’t!
Have a rosy day!

Sometimes they hold still to have their photo taken. Very gracious, I say.
My SIL is going to watch a football game with guy friends today, and so my daughter and I are taking the kids swimming, eating out, and going shopping. We will have a blast.
I’m only 2,000 words away from reaching my minimum word count on Wolf Bound. Woohoo! So yesterday, to see where I need to go with it, I started revising it from the beginning.
Hope you have a beautiful butterfly day!

I don’t think I ever had one that color before. It’s so pretty. The butterflies and bees love them.
Swim day at the pool was so much fun yesterday. My grandson loves the water and was really swimming (with floaties) across the width of the pool over and over again. My granddaughter swims like a fish now, so it was lots easier to take care of both of them by myself. We had a ball so we’ll be going swimming every day that I have them. The water was even warm because of our 100 degree days.
Amazingly, after such a wild day, I actually managed to write 4,000 words on Wolf Bound. Only 4,000 left to go for my minimum word goal. We had a busy morning today and tomorrow for hours, so we’ll see how it goes.
Hope you have a wild and wonderful day!

I wrote this book a year ago, so it takes publishers a while to finally publish them. It makes me feel like I haven’t been writing. 🙂 So this one has just been posted on Amazon for the print version, and I didn’t find any links for the other sites yet.
Also coming: WHAT A WOLF WANTS–July 1, 2025
This is another red wolf book–DEA Ethan Masterson is on the job when he causes all kinds of havoc in a she-wolf’s life–not making the best first impression.
I got news that I’m going to have a new grandchild in December–my son and daughter-in-law’s first, so I’m excited about that. They are stationed in Okinawa right now. I won’t be able to see the baby until they’re settled in Hawaii for her next assignment.
And I have both grandkids this morning, to my surprise. So we’re going to the grocery store, then to the pool, with 100 degrees heat every day, it will probably be semi-warm, for a couple of hours, home for lunch, naptime for little one, and when am I going to get my word count in?????
I did manage 500 words on Highland Wolf and 3,000 on Wolf Bound yesterday, but I suspect I won’t get much writing done today.
Have a special day! We’re going to have fun! Potty training, reading, writing and arithmetic, learning to swim are on the school agenda today.

These are not the covers. I just used them for reference. I have them, but the one doesn’t have my title or name on it yet.
I keep visualizing scenes for both books, so I try to get my 2,000 on Wolf Bound daily, since it’s nearly done (11,000 words to go), and whatever I can on the other. Yesterday was a little one day, so my off day. I managed 1,000 on Wolf Bound and 300 words on Highland Wolf. But I’ve been getting 2K on the contemporary and 3K on the Highland one for several days. Yay! I started at 8K for the Highland one a few days ago. It’s now 22K! Once I finish Wolf Bound, I’ll jump on the Highland one exclusively like I did with the other initially.
I need to pick up my granddaughter at noon, so I’m off to work on the stories since this is NOT my off day, before I have to get her.
I finally got an appointment to take my car in for a recall item that I’ve needed to do for a couple of years, one that’s critical, but the Ford dealership wouldn’t do it. I would have to drive 6 hours round trip to Waco where I purchased the vehicle. But I finally got it scheduled here, so I’m hoping I can get it done without any problems.
We are getting into the 90s all week. This is too early!
Have a beautiful day!

Kind of like a Thursday Throwback on Wednesday. My days feel all mixed up. I had the kids on Saturday, and the kids on Monday, so I feel discombobulated. lol
I watched the new Neanderthal show on TV about more discoveries they’ve made and saw on National Geographic about the new dinosaur they unearthed. All fascinating stuff. I’ve been interested in all this since I was a kid and read my first book all about earlier humans, and have always enjoyed reading about dinosaurs before so many of them were discovered, or that some really wore feathers.
The cave in this is real. The background to the left created in Oscraps, lots of texture overlays, lighting, the cave people on Etsey.
I’m off to get ready for little one. Big one is off from school starting tomorrow so I need to get a school regimen set up for her, like I did with homeschooling my own, and the rest of the day is just for fun. I also need to sign her up for a million reading programs.
Have a great day!

Someone asked if those were feathers, but they’re not. They’re tufts of gray fur from squirrely squirrels. The squirrels had taken off long before the nest fell. I had to show it to both grandkids because it isn’t often that you have a squirrel nest in your yard that was once 35 feet or higher in the trees.
I realized yesterday later that I had posted the same picture two days in a row. That’s what happens when I’m in rush. I took my grandson to his sister’s graduation and ended up taking her home. Parents/guardians can do that after certain parties, activities every once in a while and many were taking their kids home. So I hadn’t expected to have both kids all day, but we had fun. I took them to have ice cream after they ate lunch at my house. If the residential pool had been open, I would have taken them to it. It felt like 98 yesterday and we’ll have a repeat of that today and tomorrow.
I only managed 1,000 words on Highland Wolf yesterday, none on Wolf Bound. I will have to make sure that when I have my granddaughter here all summer during the weekday that I still get my writing done. We played dominoes and I let her play reading and math games on my computer online, and we even taught the beginning of chicken foot dominoes to my grandson. He won the first round, then on the second round, he wanted to place a domino that couldn’t be placed and had a little tantrum. lol Then their mom arrived to save the day.
I’m off to clean up more pine cones in the yard from the last storm and then get to writing. Only one more school day after today and I believe the pool is open on Friday. I hope it’s warm enough because I want to swim!
Have a lovely day!

A friend’s cat all grown up. I love taking a photo and turning it into photo art.
So I managed writing 2,000 words on Wolf Bound (12,000 more words to go!) and 3,000 words on Highland Wolf (51,000 words to go!) again yesterday. Woohoo! I’m filling in earlier scenes on Wolf Bound and with Highland Wolf, lots of fun conflict.
I have little one today and we’re going to his big sister’s 1st grade graduation ceremony this morning, then coming home, having lunch, and he’s napping. Me too. I can’t kick this cold. I might not manage any writing today. I try to do at least 1,000 words, though on my writing goal calendar, the two days I have him are considered non-writing days (my days off-ha!) because it’s hard to write, especially if I nap when he does. I got them both a stuffed animal for graduation, though his is more for moving up to 3 year preschool classes at day care.
Off to get ready for his arrival. Still doing potty training. And we do lots of reading and pre-school work pages. He loves them. I’m excited to take my grandson to his sister’s graduation. It fell on a day he was in day care last year, so I know he’s going to love going to it also.
Have a super fun day!!

Wrote 3,000 words on Highland Wolf and 2,000 on Wolf Bound yesterday. Sometimes I can write more if I switch to another story, but only really if I have an idea in mind. I’ve been getting more sleep, not as much coughing, until last night, and it’s really helped.
This is a friend’s now grown up cat. She says he still loves to eat butter. I’m off to write! I want to go back to bed.
Have a great one.

They are a friend’s cats. Had fun editing the scene.
So I did my 2,000 words on Wolf Bound, but then I had an idea for the 2nd book in the Medieval Highland Wolf series, and ended up writing 3,000 words. Yay!!! I love when that happens. I mean, I really, really, really love when that happens. I didn’t want to quit but it was getting so late that I needed to go to sleep.
I’ve got babysitting duty for a couple of hours. I’m off to try and write some before the grandkids land in on me.
Have a super duper day!!!
