The Fae and the Wolf (Fantasy Art)

Mar3

Love fairies though most of the ones in my books do not have wings. I do have a group of winged fae and ones that shift into wolves too.

We have a wild day scheduled today, grocery shopping, shipping books, looking for birthday shorts sets and then back home again to do arts and crafts, workbooks and reading. But first, we’re having cinnamon rolls, walking to the mailbox and around the block.

Hope your wild day is just as much fun!

Fae and the Wolf

Aug20

In one of my stories, I have fae wolf shifters. Some of them help to guard the dragon fae shifters gold.I created this from DAZ3D.

Turned in White Wolf Moon. Need to begin typing up notes I wrote for Christmas Wolf Surprise. Hopefully, I’ll get back to my 2,000 words per day goal. I have a ton of things to do today though. It’s going to be hectic, then dinner with the kids and their friend.

Shooting pains in my wrist in the middle of the night. I envisioned all kinds of bad scenarios since the doctor said the bone can shift.

Have a super fun day! I’ve been running this morning to get things done, but want to finally settle down and write.

May4

https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/hawk-fae

I’ve got to run, but just wanted to alert everyone that the Hawk Fae, middle of the series, they wouldn’t let me run the first book for free on the ad, is free this week only! It’s normally $3.99 and I have never reduced the book in price.

by Terry Spear

series The World of Fae #6

Synopsis

Sometimes doing a good deed can prove to be a disaster, Ena, dragon shifter fae, discovers as she must flee her home. But her staff chooses to go with her and deal with the dangers to reach the safety of the hawk fae kingdom, if the king there welcomes them. The human, Brett, promises to help her escape the marriage to the despicable dragon fae prince, rather than return home to his Earth world. And now all the dragon shifter fae are at risk of having to face the dragon fae king’s wrath.

Esmeralda, the hawk fae king’s sister has been imprisoned by the griffin on their island for half of her life and she finally makes her escape, only she gets herself into even more trouble.

Against her wishes, Ena must forsake Brett on the journey, and he finds his world is turned upside down once again and now he has to survive the life or death trials of the phantom fae kingdom.

Okay, off to run a million errands today, wearing mask, then not going anywhere for a couple of weeks.

Have a great safe day!

The World of Fae

Jan13

Magic pink rhododendron flowers on summer mountain. Dramatic overcast sky. Carpathian, Ukraine, Europe. Beauty world.

After reading all the stories, still making changes on The Dark Fae, the very first, but the print books and ebooks are approved for sale on books 2-9, I was thinking about a sick fae.  Write what you know, right?

In one of the books, wolf shifter fae guard a dragon shifter fae’s treasure. Good job for them because they don’t care anything about treasure, but they also have tree farms and sell to fae who want to reforest their lands around their castles, or landscape around their cottages.

I have a belligerent human they’d taken into their world to keep her from leading other fae seers who were killing their kind, and a couple of other humans who joined them some time back. One was protecting Hannah, but her days are numbered. Dragon fae shifter, Ena, who has generously allowed her to live and given her room and board, knows she might someday turn into one of their kind, which is the only reason she hasn’t returned her home and let her face the consequences. But everyone who lives at her castle must be gainfully employed. The other two humans have made her gardens into a slice of heaven, fought her battles and become part of her family. But Hannah is a different story. So when she learns Hannah and Bryan are missing at the morning meal, Ena’s afraid something bad has happened. Or will happen. Not to Hannah, because she is not worthy of Ena’s time, but she’s worried about Bryan, that he’s been protecting the girl, and depending on what has happened to him, that could get him into real trouble.

Where did I get the idea from? Rereading all the stories and being sick still. 🙂 <3

Okay, off to make the changes to The Dark Fae. Haven’t heard back if the new wolf books were purchased or not. I think after I finish edits on The Dark Fae and upload it, I’ll just be…sick.

Have a lovely un-sick day!!!

For Cold Days, Hot Apple Cider

Dec15

wassail

Apple Cider Wassail with Sliced Apples
Serves 16
Ingredients:
• 1 gallon apple cider
• 3 TBSP brown sugar
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 thinly sliced oranges
• 6 cored apples cut in 1 inch pieces
Directions:
1. Add cider, apples, and cinnamon sticks to a large pot and bring to a boil over medium heat.
2. Reduce heat and add remaining spices and brown sugar. Stir to dissolve sugar.
3. Simmer 20 minutes.
4. Add orange slices with cloves stuck in the oranges.
5. Simmer 5 more minutes.
6. Serve in Christmas mugs.
I can’t find my original recipe or crockpot cookbook, which has lots of great recipes so this is really similar. I leave mine on low and guests serve themselves, and then refrigerate and just heat up. It makes the house smell so fragrant. :)Some add orange juice, cranberry juice, or pineapple juice. But I like it simpler and it tastes great. 🙂

Every year, I make this at Christmas though. It’s one of our traditions.

Golden Fae is Out!

Apr16

fairy artworkAt the Renaissance fair, an artist was painting this. Isn’t this beautiful?

MN and Ren Fair 124 (427x640) fairyA picture I took of the winged fae at the fair.

Faeries and Swamp (640x427)Do you see the fairy house?

fairy garden (640x601)And this way to the fae…

Art project: beautiful woman with golden make-up. Jewelry, make-up. Fashion. Over black background.

How does the golden fae get into big time trouble with one fiery dragon? When playing with fire…

All the golden fae wanted to do was to pick mushrooms for her mother—in the forbidden dragon fae territory, but Kayla sees dragons practicing for their games, and she gets caught at it. She loses her locket that she needs to have when she comes of age in just a couple of weeks so she can keep her magic as a lavender grower for the golden fae. Only now, one highly annoying dragon shifter fae has got it, and she will do anything to get it back.

Alton can’t believe it when the golden fae arrives at his friend’s castle wearing the dragon fae aura now! But he has a mission to go on, save a human and a dragon fae in the human world, and Kayla ends up there offering to help—anything to get him to give her locket back to her. Only a fae seer shoots him with an iron bolt, and Kayla risks everything, trying to get him and the captured maid safely back home again.

Now he will do almost anything to learn the mysterious golden fae’s secrets, and protect her from his own kind at all costs.

We have strong storms through Thursday of next week. I was working on bears last night, taking a break on books for a moment, have 4 bear orders, but then I did write about 500 words of the beginning of SEAL Wolf Undercover. 79,500 words left! But you gotta start somewhere! 🙂 And I got groceries!

Have a lovely day. I predict–rain, for here anyway! 🙂 <3

It’s Time to Publish!

Apr15

koi colorful (800x533)A picture of koi at the Waco zoo, I took a few years back is still my favorite!

I worked from early in the morning until late last night on Golden Fae, and today, I will be formatting it with Vellum, but it is only available on Mac. So I convert it there, upload to Apple, which is only accessible also on Mac, and then I mail the files for the other venues to my PC, and upload everything to the other sites. Then wait for the book to be available. Ha!

tomatoes, frog sculpture, puppies 001 (640x427)My green bell peppers are just sitting there. Maybe they’re a little taller than before. But they don’t seem to be.

I keep working. I worked on the print book all day yesterday, proofed it and the ebook/mobi version again, and so I’ll be working on uploading the print book after that. I also need to make the print book cover.

And then? I’ll be starting the next wolf story due to my publisher in July. Though after I do all this, I REALLY need to go to the grocery store!

But first, I  had to say good morning, y’all! And then I’m off to work!

No time to celebrate! As soon as the book is available, I’ll drop in and offer all the links. Preorders are wonderful, but they also bind me to a date. I didn’t want to do that this time. 🙂 <3

Have a delightfully, fae-mischief free day!

Faery Realms Facebook Party Today

Dec5

I was busy cleaning for my Christmas guests and all for their next visit, but had to stop because of the facebook party and get ready for that.

Max Sleeping on my Lap While I'm Typing

Max Sleeping on my Lap While I’m Typing

Max crashed, and the bug man is coming. So much to do, so little time. I was proofing The Vampire…In My Dreams teen audiobook yesterday, but when Max was playing, I took a video and the audiobook is playing in the background. 🙂 When I have time, I’ll share it.  I also had to come up with a new title for the 3rd book in the Blood Moon teen vampire series, and a tag line. So I was rereading the book I started for it to get an idea. Don’t like the storyline now, so will come up with a new one. 🙂 So always a million book things going on. Need to reread His Wild Highland Lass over again. Finished edits, but want to make sure I didn’t make any new mistakes with the changes. 🙂 And….I’m behind on my word goals for Phantom Fae. Is it any wonder? I hadn’t expected the audiobook to come back for proofing so quickly.

More Bears and House Fixings!

Oct25

I spent some of yesterday working on bear orders and moving furniture. They’re ripping up the old carpeting and breaking up the old tile and then replacing everything with new tile. So it’s a mess. 🙂

Okay before they get to jackhammering the old tile, I’m off to try to get word count on Phantom Fae. 🙂

Have a super great day!!!

And I’m working on finishing up the MacDonald Clan bears (3), MacLean Clan Bears (2), Scott Clan Bear and Douglas Clan Bear. And a US Navy bear (Part of the MacLean Clan Bear order). 🙂

And I’m working on Phantom Fae, the next in the Fae series

Phantom Fae

And I’m moving furniture out of several rooms so men can tile them on Monday.

And I was looking for a cool new cover for my vampire teen The Vampire…In My Dreams, but couldn’t find one. However, I ended up finding this instead. *sigh* I fell in love and picked up 2 other covers and will have a new series out, but not until next year. I have to write Gunnolf’s story next for The Viking’s Highland Lass after I finish Phantom Fae and I have 4 more books to write for Sourcebooks also. 🙂  The title might change on this. The cover artist is working on them to give them a series look.
