Updating Book Covers

Apr3

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!

New and Fading

Apr1

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!

Easter Egg coloring with grandkids, then off to do our annual Easter egg hunt. But of course, first, I’m out planting more flowers.

Hope your day is delightful!

No Rabbits or Eggs, but…

Mar30

Planting lots of flowers. I wore myself out moving 500 lbs of dirt for the planting beds yesterday, but was still digging up ferns and moving them, and planted 2 salvia plants, a miniature rose, daylilies, an iris.

The daylilies always look so dead that I planted out back. I hope they come out okay. The ones out front are beautiful, but I planted them every year for years and they’re filling in nicely. I love them because like their name, flowers pop out daily spring, summer and fall.

This was the fuchsia miniature rosebush that I planted. Above it is crepe myrtle of the same color. If I had room, I would plant the fuchsia salvia in the same area. It’s always pretty when you can have a group of plants with the same color, unifying that part of the garden.

Off to pilates torture and then celebrating my granddaughter’s birthday. Then it’s back to working on the garden. I need to plant a lavender, pink/peach miniature rosebush, and the fuchsia salvia. I have some teddy bear sunflowers seeds I want to put in also. 🙂 <3

Have a fun-filled day!!!

Garden Cart Painted and Ready to Use

Mar29

I think next is the bistro set. It’s black and all rusty. I picked up some blue paint and primer also for rusty furniture. So I believe I’ll begin on that next.

I just finished proofing Huntress for Hire, yay! I seriously need to plant some of my plants. I found 2 miniature rosebushes, both that I adore. I need to plant several daylily bulbs that give me constant flowery color, 3 salvia plants, and lots of seeds. I’m going to try some floral ground covers. Maybe THEY will block out the weeds. I need to do something. lol They are perennials, but are coming from an online seed shop.

Okay, I’m off to send Huntress to my beta readers and then begin all my gardening stuff.

Have a super duper day!

Spring, Flowers, Butterflies?

Mar28

What can be more magical than that?

For my friends in the snowy north, take heart. When your spring comes and you’re showing off all your flowers, we’ll be sweating it out in the heat, trying to keep everything alive. 🙂

Have a beautiful day!

Juggling Manuscripts

Mar27

One of my lovely fans asked when my next book would be out. I finished Huntress Unleashed, but was giving myself some time to look at it with a fresh mind before I proofed it and sent it to my beta readers. It really helps to do that–to set aside a manuscript and then reread it as if I hadn’t ever read it before. So I started doing that last night. Once I’m done, I’ll send it off and then get back to the Highland story. I need another 29K words on it. I haven’t put out a Highland story in years, so I really wanted to get this done also. And yes, it does have a mystical, paranormal side to it.

And then??? Not sure. A shifter or a fae or elf book? I even had a request for another Magic of Inherian book.

Little one will be here today, so we are going to the grocery store as my fridge is again bare. And we’ll do more gardening. It’s 49 degrees today, so it really got chilly for us. So we might wait on doing some gardening. I’ve decided I’m a warm weather gardener. 🙂

Have a super lovely day!

From Rusty to Fun and Whimsical

Mar26

Still working on the birdhouse ornament!

But things are perking up in the garden!! The original ornaments weren’t really painted all that much, so I went for bright and colorful.

Still working on the Highland story!

Have a delightful day!

A Little Steampunk Whimsy

Mar25

A little steampunk fun.

Today we’re supposed to have storms so little one and I will probably stay home. When I don’t have him, it’s fine, but trying to get him out of the car in a storm is another thing!

Hope you all have a great time today!

Patch of Salvia

Mar24

Tiny purple blooms are just starting to appear. This is the biggest, most widespread it’s been. I love them because they come back every year. And they have fairy like flowers and the butterflies love them!

Off to pilates. I’d hurt my back 5 weeks ago, so haven’t been doing it. I’m going to feel it!

Have a beautiful day!
