Merry Christmas!

Dec25
A Cardinal Happily Eating on Christmas Eve

I was trying to get the dogs to all sit together for a photo. Here are my attempts, lol.

Okay, so my dogs will sit still on their cot since I used it for training since they were puppies and I finally resorted to that but I couldn’t get the corgis to sit on either side of them for anything. I had the treats and the corgis wanted to get closer to me. My dogs knew to sit on the cot until I released them.

At least I got them all to look at me, though Luna’s ear is in front of Max’s face. *sigh*. I will try again later!

I’m having Dog Days of Christmas and having a blast. Finished While the Wolf’s Away proofing, turned it in and I’m working on The Emerald Isle of Mist next!

Have a fun day!

Bird in a Christmas Wreath!

Dec20

Photo of a bird that shares an enclosure with a Dik-Dik. I don’t remember the name of the big bird. The Christmas wreath texture is from Daily Textures.

My son arrived safely with his dog after 15 hours of driving. Mishka is on my lap and my dogs are waiting for my son to get up–they’ve all been fed and taken outside, birds fed. I’m about to battle more monsters for writing goals. I think I managed 7,000 words yesterday. I reached 22K on A Date with a Wolf, and added more to Dangerous Liaisons, another vampire romance, at 27,704, and Warrior Elf (YA), 16K, and Bite of the Vampire (YA), 18,600. I added 6K to the novella, but on the other books a few hundred each. That’s what’s fun about the battling monsters. Once I have my word goal plus on the deadline book, I can add more content to other stories not on deadline to get some more word count in.

We are going on a drive to see a special exhibit this afternoon–drive through, more on it later, and having lunch at home and unfortunately shopping for a few items at the grocery store. He’s making a curry rice dish and forgot his curry powder, his grinder for coffee and I figure I’ll pick up some cabbage and carrots to make corned beef and cabbage for everyone one of these days.

I forgot that Miskha is a woofer. Not barking loudly, but I’m finding myself shushing her constantly while my son is still sleeping.

I’m off to write before he gets up and we’re on our way to the store.

Have a great day!

A Star Wars Christmas

Dec22

My daughter created this door for their door contest and didn’t win. I can’t imagine why not! She had my vote!

A Neighbor’s Star Wars Christmas and My Daughter’s Star Wars Cookies

Christmas was great! The breakfast tacos had tortillas and they were great. We had a roast and then fajitas that night, so perfect! Except little one had been running a fever the day before and last night while I watched her and they went out to get groceries, her cheeks turned bright red and she was running a fever again.

Hopefully, she’ll be alright for their Christmas in Waco. And we won’t get it too!

I am still writing on the vampire story. Despite all the wild activities, I managed 1,000 words after they finally left and I have more ideas. As to the Highland story I need to write, nada. If I could write fantasy, I’d jump run in. I also still need to finish Joy to the Wolves and do a special FB party thing for tomorrow. They told me I need to prepost it, so need to figure that out!

I’m off to write! Have a fun day!

Merry Christmas Early!

Dec21

So we’re celebrating Christmas today. Last night my daughter emailed me and asked if I got the tortillas. You know, for the breakfast tacos. Now, when I picked up the dinner fixings on Thursday, I asked her what else I needed. Nothing.

So no tortillas for breakfast tacos. She said that meant they were deconstructed breakfast tacos. Just remember that. If you don’t have all the ingredients for a meal, they’re….deconstructed. lol

I figured I get up early enough before they all wake up and I’d get my daughter and myself a drink from Starbucks on the way to the grocery store. My son-in-law only drinks Dr. Pepper.

Now, yes, we have a lot of crime in the area, we’re a suburb of Houston after all, BUT we also have a lot of nice folks. When I pulled up to the window to pay for our drinks, the cashier said that the man ahead of me had bought my drinks. Merry Christmas.

You know how that made me feel? Like spreading the cheer. What a sweet thing to do. There are indeed truly nice people in the world.

I told the Hispanic cashier at the grocery store about no tortillas for breakfast tacos as I was buying them and she laughed. I’ve never had them so this is all a mystery to me. I told her about my daughter saying they were deconstructed. If you can make someone smile today, go for it!

My daughter emailed me and said little one is running around like crazy, and my son-in-law is zonked out.

That’s okay. I need to blog, get my camera ready, work on a vampire romance and when they get here, have a truly lovely family Christmas.

Merry Christmas early!

The Stare Down

Dec4

I loved the pose, the expression…

So I finished the print version of Cougar Halloween Mischief and it should be available soon. I have to take little one to the doctor this morning, and we’re going to have all our fun decorating. I bought some Christmas bells for her to jingle. Hope to take pictures of her adding ornaments to the tree. We’re going to make chocolate chip cookies, and take a long walk so I can pay my home owner dues, and just plain have fun.

And one of my dogs has kennel cough. Hopefully he doesn’t give it to my other dog. They both had shots for it, but this has happened before where they are immunized for kennel cough and both got it anyway.

I’m off to get ready before little one comes!

Have a beautiful day!!!

Darkland Elf, 8 Years in the Making!

Nov25

She’s not supposed to be abandoned on the elves’ planet.

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!

It’s OUT!!! 5 Star Review for A Billionaire Wolf for Christmas

Sep25

 

 

MY REVIEW:

The two doctors in this charming and daring romance capture hearts and draw readers into their story as search for a cure, defy alphas and brighten up the holidays. These two strong characters are bold with lots of charismatic traits that grab readers’ attentions and ensure that they want to know exactly what happens. Their drive and passion for medicine and for finding a cure for the decline in the werewolves lifespans is only surpassed by the sizzling magnetic chemistry and heated passion of these two characters as they defy a pack leader in order to achieve their objective and their happily ever after.

During this steady to fast paced and smooth flowing plot, thrills and adrenaline pumping suspense keeps readers glued to the pages with a search of a banished wolf, an exciting rescue, pack strife fun and charming bodyguards, loving family and delightful romance and holiday cheer. And in a surprising twist, Holly and Aiden will have pull off a holiday miracle in order to rescue her old pack and escape with all of their lives. Santa Clause, the whole holiday atmosphere adds delight to this story along with the love of family as they come together throughout the story through thick and thin which makes this story one that warms the heart and makes readers smile in pleasure as the author brings it all to brilliant life.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

When the wolves’ own blood betrays them, they risk their lives to find a miracle.

Wolf shifter Dr. Aidan Denali has been working day and night to find a cure for werewolves’ alarmingly sudden decline in lifespan. The key to the problem eludes him. But when Aidan grudgingly leaves his work to do some holiday shopping, he meets a remarkable she-wolf whose mysterious pack could bring him one step closer to the answer.

Dr. Holly Gray is thrilled to meet the wolf who’s been working so hard to help others. Now, it’s her turn to help him. But while their attraction is sizzling, the packs are at odds, and the danger is increasing. It’s going to take a holiday miracle for Holly and Aidan to get themselves–and their loved ones–out of this alive…

Okay, off to spread the word! I was busy with working on edits for Cougar Magic, adding another 2,000 words to the novella, Night of the Wolf, and working on The Countess and the Wolf (an older story that I’ve been revising periodically about a Highlander, Saxon countess, and her Norman step-family during the period of William the Conqueror after he took over rule.) But I’ve made it into a historical wolf shifter story, so still working on that. Love the changes so far.

Have a wonderful day!!!! I’m off to howl to the world that a new book is out!!

Merry Christmas!

Dec25

 

Loved the Star Wars movie for Christmas Eve, washed Mishka because she smelled so bad–whiskers smelled sour, so here she was wrapped in a towel and a blanket on my lap to get warm.  Made a snow angel in the snow. We tried to make a snowman but the snow was too dry and wouldn’t pack into a snowball. And while the kids played computer games, or my son worked on his practice computer programs–he’s doing one a day before his last graduate class starts–I wrote 5,000 words for Claiming the White Bear.

I write before they get up in the morning too. It’s perfect here for it. It’s supposed to be 2 degrees tomorrow morning, high of 12. And one day is -5 and high of 8. Man, is that cold. Even the theater was freezing. I swore they had the AC on.

We had to make a stop afterward for butter at the grocery store. We had 5 minutes, which we did in two. We rushed to get it done before closing, while others were shopping like no one had mentioned it was time to close. I felt sorry for the clerks. I know what it is like to be working, calling out that the library was closing, and people ignoring us. They have the mentality that once they’re in the building, they don’t have to leave until they’re ready to leave.

Merry Christmas!!!

I tried to upload the snow angel picture, but I’m having trouble with WordPress this morning. Woke it up too early, I think! I’ll show it tomorrow. Okay, had to sign back in so we’re good to go. 🙂 Next to the snow angel are deer prints.

Before everyone wakes, I’m off to write a little more! Tomorrow, we’re going to see the wolves. But will they be out in the bitter cold? Or smarter than us and huddled away together in their den?

Have a lovely day!!

Baby’s First Christmas

Dec19

My computer is super sluggish this morning and keeps hanging up. I’m trying to move some photos to another hard drive to see if that works, but 1 hour and 20 mins are remaining and baby will be here any moment.

These are some pictures I took of our Christmas, baby’s first. I want to do some composites with her so once my computer isn’t so sluggish, I can work on it more! She is totally clueless about Christmas, and isn’t that nice!!!

I’m playing around with the Countess and the Wolf. It’s a book I wrote some years ago, so formatting and my writing have improved and I need to update it. But also, I’ve always wanted to write the historical aspect of werewolves in the Highlands and so I have maybe 4 of these books that I’m revising to add a wolf perspective to fit in with my contemporary Highland wolf stories. Sometimes, it’s easier just to write a new book. But these are a lot of fun too.

My Highlander’s print version is being reviewed and actually, just came back. So I need to read it through again, make sure it’s ready to go!

In the meantime, I’m still trying to figure out what to write for the next polar bear shifter book. The other actually came out this past January. But I’m re-reading it to remember the characters and maybe come up with an idea!

Okay, off to get ready for baby. Have a wonderful day!
