That’s what I figured he was thinking! I took the photo of him at the Writer’s Retreat. I wrote, for sure. I had edits to do on a book to turn in. But I also photographed farm life, wild birds, and captured some deer coming to visit! It was the perfect writer’s retreat!
I managed to get my 1,000 for the day before and a 1,000 for yesterday on Highland Wolf. I normally write 2,000 words per day, but this head cold is still plaguing me. I only have 5,000 words to go for minimum word count.
Hope your day is the best!

She loved all the writers’ company, curled up around their laptops, slept or watched us. She was so sweet. I took photos of her, naturally, and petted her. She was in seventh heaven.
Well, this cold got the better of me last night. I couldn’t stop coughing and it got so bad I couldn’t keep my dinner down. I tried everything. Honey, tea, cough syrup, cough drops, nothing would work. I was so close to getting a 1,000 words on Highland Wolf, but I was just coughing so hard, I had to quit. Fifty-six words away from it! I never quit when I’m that close to reaching a goal.
Then I remembered I had nasal saline spray and I got out of bed and took that. That was it. I’m dog tired because of being awake so much of the night before I finally thought to use that. It stopped the constant heavy nasal drip and the coughing for the most part and I was able to sleep some.
I’m off to bed. Maybe I can get some more sleep and think up 56 more words for the story! Right now I’m too tired to think. I’m going to be like this kitty cat, without a care in the world and rest!
Have a wonderful day!

The cabins had a birders’ blind and I had never seen one of those before. The vegetation was really tangled so it was hard to capture some of the birds, but when they came down to drink on the water features, voila! A great shot.
Well, I’m sick again. My grandson has a cold, probably from daycare, and now I have it. Ugh!!! I just got over all that other stuff.
I’m off to work on Highland Wolf. I need 7,000 more words. I’m wrapping it up. I thought of another teaser to add also, though. I might. Or maybe not. With a congested head, I might have thought it was a great idea and if I write it down, it might not have been. Ha-ha!
Hope your day is mighty fine!

So I was playing around with some scrap art to create this. Cheetah shifters anyone?
I was recently trying to use my mixer brushes on Photoshop, I like to add fur to furry critters, and I guess since some of the updates, it’s been messed up. I wish updates wouldn’t corrupt functioning areas of Photoshop so that they are no longer functioning!
My granddaughter is back to school today, which means I need to remember to pick her up after school!!! And I have my grandson today. I hope to ship some books today. I have the worst sore throat, kept me awake a lot last night. ugh.
But the good news is that I am 2/3rds through proofing What the Wolf Wants. Hope to finish it either today or tomorrow and then I can turn it in.
Hope your day is excellent!

I managed to proof 10 of 30 chapters yesterday on What a Wolf Wants. Yay! So today, I hope to do another 10. We will see. I have one grandchild today, and the other tomorrow, but I have to pick up the other at school also tomorrow. Our new schedule. No coder’s classes this week. I have to remind myself.
I want to go out and weed too. I did a little first thing, but I might just have to wait until Thursday to really get at it. I was out watering too. Soooooo hot.
Hope you are in the pink!!!

I’m about done with the edits on What the Wolf Wants, and then I need to read it all the way through, but I need to proof it next, to make sure there aren’t any mistakes. Then I can turn it in by next weekend, hopefully.
I have the grands tomorrow so that’s pretty much a non-writing/editing day, until they go home. 🙂
Hope your day is cheerful and bright!

In my dreams. In reality, I finished edits on half of What the Wolf Wants yesterday–there are 30 chapters, a 1,000 words on Highland Wolf, and hope to finish several more chapters on Wolf Wants today so I can turn it in by next weekend. And I hope to wrap up Highland Wolf. I’m close! Nine-thousand words to go.
And I want to weed more this morning. Did a little. Making some lavender tea, and then off I go to work on the story.
Hope you are relaxing too!

The sprinkler was on, hitting the rosebush, and a cardinal couple were enjoying taking a shower in this dry (as in not rainy) humid heat.
I was pulling tons of weeds. I kept thinking maybe I could wait until winter. Ha! It feels like 90 already. But I figured if I could get out really early, maybe I could get some of this done before it was way too hot. In the back, I have a lot of shade. In the front, it gets really sunny early.
But…I found that some of my crepe myrtles that volunteered in the front yard, are finally getting big enough to provide some shade and the great thing about that? I made a mistake in planting some sedum that just takes over everything. It’s not pretty and little and flowery. It’s just weedy looking. Sooooo, I’ve fought it for years, pulled it out and pulled it out, but it’s always there. Until the crepe mytles started shading them out and then the sedum got leggy, not compact and hard to remove. Soooo, I was able to pull out a ton of it and maybe I will finally get a handle on it. And I managed to mostly tackle three flowerbeds. Again, because the other plants are starting to shade out the weeds also. That was my plan. I just didn’t think it would take 10 years to work. lol
But today, I need to do edits on the July book release and so off I go to immerse myself in the red wolf pack of Portland, Oregon.
Have a super fine day! Mine is off to a great start!!!

Red wolf Kira Westwood is on a mission with the United Shifter Force where she’s trying to track down kidnappers who are gray wolf shifters. What she doesn’t expect is to find a wounded gray wolf—shifter type—who’s an innocent bystander and the boy who has been taken hostage. Now her mission is complicated by leaps and bounds.
Fisher Greystoke can’t believe a walk in the national park has led to nearly being killed and meeting the prettiest red she-wolf he has ever met. But there’s no time for anything but helping her go after kidnappers and joining the United Shifter Force so he can get to know the red wolf a whole lot better while ensuring the rogue wolves don’t take them down first–permanently.
Enjoy the first book in the Greystoke Wolf Pack series–based on Bella Wilder Greystoke and her mate, Devlyn Greystoke. I’ve never been able to get back to those characters except in a couple of novellas, so now this one is full length and not only has the wolves of Greystoke, Colorado, but the cougars of Yuma Town, and the jaguars from earlier stories for a chock-full of adventure, mystery, and romance!

I’m photographing flowers. Wildflowers at the edge of a lake road in New Hampshire.
Managed 4,000 words on Sunday on Highland Wolf, yay! I need 24K more. I had one thought, and now as I close in on her father’s castle, I have a whole other idea. That’s how my writing mind works. A lot of times I can’t “see” the situation until I’m closer to where I’m trying to get to.
I have both kids 3 times this week, so that puts a damper on my writing, but hopefully I’ll get some done! In the meantime, the scene I have in mind is only in my head and I need to get it down before I forget it!
Have a great day!
