Baby and the Beanstalk

 

And a male cardinal with a peanut in the pouring rain. Having issues with my internet in the morning. I need to post my blog the night before because it really works! But I was trying to get my word count and a little more last night. Which I did!

So this is Baby and the Beanstalk. My daughter doesn’t like composites, even if they’re by her favorite artist. That’s not me. I don’t care. I do them for me. And someday, I might put them in a book for baby. I’m sure SHE will love them.

I’m off to write more. Hope to reach 50,000 today! But I will only make that if I work on the story!

The dogs and I are managing great, and today I would normally have baby here, so no writing. This time I get to write! 🙂

Have a great one!!

BETWEEN A WOLF AND A HARD PLACE by Terry Spear (4 stars) RT Reviews! Yay!!

The newest addition to the Silver Town Wolf series is dark, sexy and replete with a haunting spin. Readers will get a kick out of the author’s vivid imagination. This steamy tale of love intermingles perfectly with the more thrilling moments, and can easily be read as a stand-alone.

Ellie MacTire and her sisters own the Silver Town hotel. In addition to being a wolf-shifter, Ellie also has the ability to communicate with the dead. She has an inkling that Alpha werewolf Brett Silver has something up his sleeve when he donates a family heirloom to the hotel. He’s had his eyes and heart set on Ellie, and nothing will stand in his way until she’s his. Unfortunately, there are some creepy things occurring around town. Can Ellie keep her family and the town safe? And will she be able to keep her composure around Brett in order to find out who’s behind the mysterious happenings? (SOURCEBOOKS, Apr., 352 pp., $7.99)

Wooing a she-wolf isn’t as easy as it looks in this bold paranormal romance from USA Today bestseller Terry Spear

In Silver Town, the secrets run deep…

Alpha werewolf Brett Silver has an ulterior motive when he donates a prized family heirloom to the Silver Town hotel. Ellie MacTire owns the place with her sisters, and he’s out to get her attention.

Ellie is even more special than Brett knows. She’s a wolf-shifter with a unique ability to commune with the dead. Ellie has been ostracized, so she protects herself and those she loves by revealing nothing—not even when strange and dangerous things begin to happen in Silver Town. And especially not to the devastatingly handsome and generous wolf who’s determined to win her over…

Another Silver Wolf Novel!
April 4, 2017
Just did an interview on my books, 2 blogs for Casablanca, need to do one for Fierce Romance, and have to: Keep up with my writing on Flight of the White Wolf (5,000 words ahead on it from my new word count goal when I missed my other self-made deadline!); need to finish proofing print for Loving the White Bear and Galaxy Warrior; and the narrator for Taming the Wild Cougar is finally submitting chapters to review. I really like his voice, so if this works out, I could be seeing if he’ll do Covert Cougar Christmas and Double Cougar Trouble. He’s 2 months late on working on the project, so we’ll see.
And I still need to do taxes. Yet, I have to have me time too.
Renee Doiling of Floating Lights Photography shows a video on how to use Photoshop to create oil painting versions of your photos.
It takes a second, and really has some beautiful results. Imagine my surprise to see the “heart” shape reveal itself so well in the photo of the rose. It’s there in the original picture, but it is much more noticeable in this one. Snoopy the cat was at our Writer’s Retreat, such a sweet, poseable model, and the male red cardinal, also at the retreat, and the garlic chives flower blooming in the pot on my back porch. I’ve eaten the chives all year since last spring. They never died back, not even with the hard freeze we had.
And I’ve been gardening. I put out zinnia and salvia seeds, so we shall see if anything comes of them. While I was planting them, I found tons of fire ants too. Ugh. ‘Tis the season.
Okay, I’m off to get to work. I really, really need to whittle down these projects. I feel overwhelmed when I have this many. I need to make another cover, this one for an audiobook for Taming the Wild Cougar. So many things to do, need, want, so little time!
Have a smooth, oil painting kind of day. 🙂 <3

No comb. Big comb. Female cardinal without her mate. He came in and took off. She hung around for me to take pictures. 🙂

I’ve missed two days of blogs!!! But I’ve been really working hard at: Converting a book that had been with a publisher that is now back in my hot little hands. Deadly Liaisons. AND, I was tying it in with the other 3 vampire novels. They’re all about huntresses and romance, and taking down the bad vampires. I’m more than a quarter of the way done on the next one in the series, and actually have a 10,000-word start on another. But still working on Golden Fae.

And, I finished making changes to The Viking’s Highland Lass coming out on April 4th and am in the process of finalizing the print book. I need to work on Deadly Liaisons print book also.

So I took a break last night to clip puppy hair back from their eyes. Well, I sort of overdid it on Max, but I love seeing their eyes. 🙂

The cardinal didn’t plan for a blackbird dinner companion.

Okay, The Viking’s Highland Lass’s print book is ready for proofing, so off to read through it again.

Happy, happy TGIF!!!!!
