Signing Books in Katy, Texas

Had a ball with Lola in Katy, Texas! We had lunch at a Texas restaurant that was really good and I signed books at West Oaks Village Barnes and Noble in Katy.

And signed books at Books-A-Million in Katy, Texas!

Lola is from Colombia originally, so she was enjoying visiting her friends from there and I was lucky enough to become her friend too!

Baby is here. I only managed to get 1200 words on Red Wolf Christmas yesterday, so I need to finish my word count today. No more pool, so trying to come up with a new fun activity in this heat. The electric company asked us to reduce electricity use again through Thursday. It was supposed to only be 94 today, but it’s showing 98, 108 heat index. But we have a better chance of rain tonight, so fingers crossed.

Have a beautiful day!!!

Autographed at Barnes & Noble, Honolulu!

One of my lovely fans drove me to the mall in Honolulu and I signed books there, met another fan who works there and gave them some small gifts as a thanks for loving my books. It was so much fun, shopped at the mall, had dinner. But earlier, I went through the zoo and aquarium and took 1200 pictures that I will share eventually. These were just phone shots.

So first, a gorgeous rainbow appeared to say good morning, and then a ladybug landed on me and moved to the ribbing on the chair next to me to say the same. A lovely start to a lovely day.

Hope your day is going great. The wedding rehearsal is in a bit, have to move to another hotel, and then wait until my room is ready, so that will take some time. But hopefully, everything will be great!!

Darkland Elf, 8 Years in the Making!

See? Never give up, never surrender! Believe me, I don’t write THAT fast! I have a lot of books I start and then don’t have the time to finish right away. Even Claiming the White Bear I started last Christmas, but had to stop to write wolf and jaguar stories. Little bit, by little bit, they finally are finished.

As a motivational inspirer, Eloria’s mission is to convince her friend Persephonice to leave the elf world behind. She knows that if she can’t, she will be stuck in their world herself. But what she finds in the primitive elf world is magic and a connection she never thought possible.
Viator is a prince of the darkland elves and captures one of those extraordinary creatures like Persephonice to turn over to his father, but his people worry about the prophecy where a girl from another world would take over their kingdom. He’s not giving her up as he realizes he needs her to help fulfill his mission to make his wings transparent. And she has to see where his dangerous quests will take them both…if they can survive the trials.

I got back from the Thanksgiving trip and am playing catch up all over the place. Got some really great shots at the zoo so will share for the next few days. Put up my Christmas tree last night, some lights out front just a few minutes ago, but still need to finish decorating. Baby loved the ghost out front for Halloween and would talk to it, so I picked up a “crystal” snowman that she can talk to for out front. They don’t talk back. lol So it’s a one-sided conversation.

Despite all that we did, Thanksgiving, the zoo, and signed books at the Barnes and Noble in Waco, I managed to squish in 9000 words for Woodland Fae.

Okay, I’m off and running. I need to make a list so I can keep track of everything I need to do. I had no food in the house either, so had to do some grocery shopping… And I realized I had published Darkland Elf on Thursday morning before we went to Waco for Thanksgiving, but I didn’t have any time to tell the world!

One of my beta readers sent back corrections for the The Witch and the Jaguar, need the other’s still and then need to format the cover for the is book. So it should be coming out soon.

In the meantime? I’m taking a break and  having lunch. I’ll send this bear to keep an eye on you. What beady little eyes and what a long tongue he has!

Have a great day!

Book Signing at Barnes and Noble, Waco, Texas

book signing, Waco

Lovely time at the book signing, and if you can see in the picture (Debra Jupe’s, author to the far left), I had Kissing the Highlander, Phantom Fae, and Jaguar Pride available to sign. More autographed copies are still on hand at Barnes and Noble, so if you are looking for a great compilation of Highland novels, a fun fae young adult, or a hot and sexy jaguar shifter story, they are there!

I want to thank Lorelei for working so hard to make it a success, along with Ken, who set it up at the store. He was really wonderful and made it super special. Thanks to all our readers who made it to the store. Everyone ended up winning fancy chocolates and one won a Nook, and everyone received free drinks. Truly a wonderful time had by all!

From left to right, Debra Jupe, Linda LaRoque, Lorelei Buckley, Me (note how patriotic I am with my wolf and flags shirt), Nese Lane, and Susan Owens.

Have a super great Saturday. It’s gloomy today, and I love it. The sun will beat down on us soon enough. 🙂

Back to edits! 🙂

Okay, I’m back to typing up notes and will try to post tomorrow again. Meant to yesterday, but just didn’t have time. We had a lovely signing. One of my fans actually called the store from NY and ordered 6 of the books, so I autographed them for her and they’re shipping them out.

And only in two days–A Highland Wolf Christmas releases!!!

Highland Wolf Christmas-300

A Highland Wolf Christmas (Book 15)

(OCT 7, 2014)

It’s going to take a lot of mistletoe…
Guthrie MacNeill, financial advisor for his clan and werewolf pack, is at his wit’s end when the pack leader’s mate hires a gorgeous party planner to bring holiday cheer to the castle. Guthrie’s wildly attracted to Calla, except he can’t reconcile the fact that his job is to save the clan’s money, and hers seems to be to spend it.

To warm this Highlander’s heart
Calla Stewart has never had a more difficult client. The laird and lady of the castle are delightful, but the handsome Highlander holding the purse strings is quite impossible. Since she specializes in holiday magic, Calla hopes she can make the scrooge-like wolf lighten up. Then Guthrie takes on the role of Highland warrior to protect her from an unexpected threat, and the holidays take a turn for the passionate.

Praise for A Highland Werewolf Wedding:
“Sultry, sexy and satisfying.” –Long and Short Reviews
“Will leave readers longing for a Highlander of their own.” –Romance Junkies

Off to a boat ride on the St Croix today and more wolves tomorrow!

And that is where I was for five hours last Saturday, having fun, selling books, talking to dog owners, and trying to stay cool. I love animals and it was like going to a dog show like I used to do when I was younger and seeing all the different breeds. And of course it made me want to have one again.

They had dachshund races and dress up contests, just all kinds of things.  And they gave away free dog dishes and leashes.

Afterward, my daughter and SIL and their Pembroke Welsh Corgi “puppy”, he’s a little over a year old now, had come in to visit, so that night we went out to dinner and saw a movie, and then all the next day while they were off to see his parents to celebrate Father’s Day, I played with Sir Rilo. Once they left, I jumped on my mss–A SEAL Wolf for Sale. Doing last minute changes, probably 2 days worth, and then it will be done, finished, the end and off to my publisher.

And that is why I’ve neglected my blog for the weekend! 🙂

I want a Havanese. They don’t shed, great personality, and they’re adorable. I had a black standard poodle last, and lost her. I’ve also had a yellow Lab, a white standard poodle, and silky terriers.

Do you have a dog or three? What are they? Do you have any of these? I wish I could have gotten pictures of more, but I was selling and talking to a couple of young writers also, but I really did enjoy myself. 🙂

Hope you have a lovely Monday! I’m back to rereading A SEAL Wolf for Sale so I can turn it in!

The Reviews are Coming in Fast and Furious! Jaguar Hunt Released Today!

And I missed a blog I was at yesterday. I was on two others, then got all these reviews and so I began sending notices on them, and then remembered I hadn’t written up my newsletter for the new release and….:)

Plus, I was working on A SEAL Wolf for Sale revisions after 3 of my beta readers read it.

So here’s the missed blog. Sure there will be a bunch more today, but got to get back to revising.

http://sosaloha.blogspot.com/2014/06/aloha-to-terry-spear-and-jaguar-hunt.html I did a guest blog for Kim and she had taken a lovely picture of me and Roxanne St Claire, who was a wonderful book signing friend. We had a lovely time! 🙂  Also a giveaway at Kim’s blog!!!!

Reviews:

Jaguar Hunt

I love that this book is set in Belize. It is one of my favorite vacation spots. Ironically enough, I read this book on my anniversary. We went to Belize on our honeymoon so the timing was appropriate. I could easily visualize their hotel and the jungle scenes. One of my favorite things about the country is that it is not overdeveloped, and the rainforest is plentiful; A great place for jaguar shifters. It is a beautiful nation and the perfect setting for this novel.

Jaguar Hunt is an action pact book with a praiseworthy plot. There were a lot of mystery and excitement, and everything was written in a believable manner. I enjoyed all the characters. Terry Spear did a great job with the character development and plot. In addition, her writing style is noteworthy.http://dianes-book.blogspot.com/2014/06/terry-spears-jaguar-hunt-book-blitz.html

Review: Jaguar Hunt by Terry SpearJaguar Hunt Series: Heart of the Jaguar #3
by Terry Spear
Published by Sourcebooks, Sourcebooks Casablanca on June 2014
Genres: Paranormal, Romance, Shape Shifters
Format: eARC
Source: Net Galley
Goodreads
five-starsfive-starsfive-starsfive-starsfive-stars

David and Tammy are such fun characters that I hated that their story had to end! Hopefully, they’ll make guest appearances in future books in the Heart of the Jaguar series as I love their interplay with one another. However, teenagers Alex and Nate almost steal the show entirely with their hilarious antics. I can’t wait to see what kind of JAG agents they make!

***

Terry Spear captures every element perfectly in JAGUAR HUNT. From the world building to the character development, JAGUAR HUNT has it all! Terry Spear’s smooth writing style and vivid descriptions are simply breathtaking. I’ve traveled to Belize once before and Terry Spear made me want to return immediately just to once again savor the beauty she so accurately depicts.  JAGUAR HUNT is highly recommended!http://www.ck2skwipsandkritiques.com/2014/05/31/review-jaguar-hunt-by-terry-spear/

***

Jaguar Hunt is the third book in the Heart of the Jaguar series. I just loved the plot of this one and had such a difficult time putting it down. While it is possible to read this book as a standalone and totally enjoy it, I would recommend that if you are a fan of contemporary paranormal romance that you should just read this wonderful series. I have and I am so looking forward to the next book! http://paulettespapers.com/?p=7676#comment-18718

***

They say it takes a thief to catch a thief, well in this case, it takes a couple of special agent jaguar shapeshifters to catch some naughty teen shifters who might have something to do with a missing jaguar. Agents David Patterson and Tammy Anderson track the pair to Belize but things aren’t quite as simple as they initially seemed.

Both leads have quite a colourful romantic past with past lovers that crop up in their investigation. I guess that since the shifter world is fairly small, it makes sense that there would be some overlap. The romance between Tammy and David worked well with the sexual tension leading to a solid partnership. There was an air of playfulness in many of their interactions as both jaguars and humans which reflected their feline natures nicely. In many romance novels there is one clear villain but here Spear went out of her way to create a pool of likely suspects and difficult to interview. I appreciated this attention to detail as it made the investigation more robust.

I enjoyed this novel and was able to get up to speed pretty quickly even though I hadn’t read the first two – something I’ll be quickly remedying. If you’re in the mood for a flirty and fun PNR, you should definitely give this a shot. http://www.backchattingbooks.com/reviews/jaguar-hunt-by-terry-spear/#comment-16747

Okay, I’m off to work on revising A SEAL Wolf for Sale some more. I’m behind on writing on Her Highland Hero. *sigh* But only so many hours in a day!

Have a super great Tuesday! It is Tuesday, right???
