Back to the Teddy Bears

St. Patrick’s Day Bear

I just finished one and have to run and ship it today for a newborn, and forgot to take a picture.

I’ve been writing 3,000 words per day on Flight of the White Wolf, so for my break, I had to run into town and get groceries (the fridge was totally bare–and worse, I haven’t had potatoes for a week–that’s the Irish in me talking, and I HAVE to have my potatoes.)

I also went to Old Town Spring for a lunch with ladies, and I wasn’t going to go shopping, I wasn’t. No. Way. *sigh* But I drove all the way down there, and what the heck, I needed to walk all the way back to my car–couldn’t find the cafe, so finally just parked and used my GPS while I was walking. That meant it was a long distance from the car, and a couple of the shops begged me to come and see what they had. I got my exercise in also.

And found darling props for my Easter bears and a bunny. I also found a book for the baby coming up. You use a flashlight to shine through the circles on the page to see what you can see. Wow, what will they think of next?

Okay, garbage is out. I need to get to work on the story, and then it’s time for running to the post office. 🙂 Oh, and I got a bunch of tulips for the backyard, though now I’m hearing you have to dig them up. Say what? But they were only a $1 for a bag of 10, so I’ll see how they do and hopefully be able to take lots of pretty pictures. I still have about 20 to plant.

And that’s it for chatting. Need to get to work writing! I’ve learned that the story absolutely, unequivocally, without doubt, will not write itself.

Make someone’s day and give them a hug, or make them suspicious. 🙂

Almost Done with Bear Orders!

Nov15

Alpaca Bear

Pink Sweater Bear with Tutu

Purple Sweater Bear

Tinsel Bear

These are all for one order. Two more bears–a Steampunk Bear and a Dragon Bear, still to do.

And I finished reviewing Kiss of the Vampire. Waiting on new cover to upload it. This is a small version, so I need a bigger one. 🙂 <3

New Cover

And I’m off to finish up reading over The Vampire…In My Dreams. I’ve got the rights back, so need to get this one done, and then make it available.

New Cover

We’re having vampire weather today…cloudy, cold, Gothic. Love it. 🙂

Have a super great Saturday!!! 🙂 <3

Redoing Covers!

Nov8

I got my rights back! So I had to have a new cover made for the book. I really like this and now I have to go through and reread the book, make any changes I want and republish it.

What do you think of the cover?

I also have another book series that I’m having the covers redone on. I haven’t given her the title names, etc so when I can do that, I’ll show those off.

Evelyn Lederman posted this of us at dinner:
At Readers & Ritas. Sat at dinner at a table sponsored by Terry Spear. This is my 4th conference where I have been able to hang with her. — with Terry Spear.

Full Moon

So I was signing books for one of my table guests, Annie Slasher, and Louise said she didn’t want to interrupt, but there was a huge full moon out. So I ran outside to take pictures, and another of my guests, Maria, brought out the stuffed wolf to howl. Hey, we were having fun. What can I say???

Time to run. I’ll be having an author chat with readers at 10:30, lunch, talking about: How Series-Ly Do You Take Yourself at 3, and then a signing at 4. 🙂

Off to get ready for the day.

Have a super great Saturday!

What do you think of the new cover for The Vampire…In My Dreams?

Raining for Two Days–And That’s Great! More Before and After!

Nov5

I shipped off nine bears yesterday and finished reading over SEAL Wolf Hunting. I was up at 3 am to 11 pm and up at 4 am this morning. Argh. I just have too much to do and still have at least 14 bears to make. I’m working on dresses for 5 more Steampunk bears and then once 4 of the bears are dressed, need to sew on their hats and they’re done. I’ll try to ship them out on Friday.

So that’s why I haven’t been doing my blog. Trying to get a million things done, including finally running into town to do errands that I couldn’t do all last week because of the tile guys. Now my water heater isn’t working. I think it’s a fuse that’s blown. I need to get an electrician out to see about the circuit breaker. I think if I turn up the heat on the water heater, it blows the fuse. But if I don’t turn up the heat on the thermostat, my guests have barely any hot water, and I think that’s why I’m having such a time with my dishes getting clean in the dishwasher. Soooo, need to get that taken care of pronto.

This is a picture I took when the cornfields were high and the sky was stormy. I was actually trying to get a shot of the new shrubs and hoping they’d make it. But when I did it, I saw how horrible the driveway looked. I see it all the time, but it’s like I didn’t really see it. Some of it is because of the winds we have and the plowing they do all the time. But also, this has accumulated for about 17 years since my dad passed away. He was always keeping things clean. My mom couldn’t.

Blackened driveway

So, that was one of the things I had done. One of the workmen cleaned the driveways and the brick. I’ll have to show a picture of the brick after I take the new one. I thought I had, but I’d only taken of the Before. I’ve tried to hose it down myself, but it just didn’t work without a high-powered washer and they used bleach to also make a difference.

Here is the driveway when it’s clean.

Driveway cleaned

What a difference, eh???

Okay, enough goofing off. Got to read over A SEAL Wolf Hunting one last time, and turn it in. And finish up the Steampunk Bears and show them off. And proof two audiobooks and read over A Silver Wolf Christmas once last time and turn it in. And reread Call of the Cougar again, and publish it. 🙂 <3

Have a lovely Wednesday! It’s a vampire day. It’s pouring. Speaking of which, not of rain, but of vampires…I’m having two artists redo vampire teen covers for me. 🙂 Will show off when they’re finished. 🙂 <3

Finished More Bears! More Bears Ordered! Making My Way Through Edits!

Nov2

Bear Family

Daddy Bear

Momma, Daddy and Baby Bear finished! And the amethyst and blue bears are named for characters in Cora Blue’s books.

Amethyst Bear

Blue Bear

http://amzn.com/B00NZLORPU. For her underwater shifters. Cora Blu http://amzn.com/1478263490. This is a novella in her underwater series. Max’s girlfriend wanted a sterling rose. This is the perfect cover.

The bears match her covers and then she offers them as giveaways. Really cute.

And more 4 more bears ordered. 🙂 <3

So I’m off to work on edits on A SEAL Wolf Hunting. On ch 4, but still have up to ch 20 to read through. The tile work is all done, so trying to clean up everything. I still have to move a lot of stuff back into the cabinets and such, but need to clean all the furniture first. I still have a couple of projects to finish up on the porch and the guest bathroom. Hope to get to it before the kids arrive for Thanksgiving. But time is running out and I’ve got so much going on!

And I’m working on Douglas Clan bear, a rainbow bear and an emerald green bear today. Hope to at least finish the first two and finish making up the green bear. Embroider her paws if I can. Days need to be longer. 🙂

Have a super great Sunday! 🙂 <3 I’m off to work!

Before! After! Renovating with Tile!

Nov1

35-year old stained carpeting

Still have some work to do today, then cleaning.

I have 21 bears made up, just need to do the finishing embroidery work, etc. And one in progress, another needs to be cut out, but made up the dragon cloak. 🙂

And I got edits back on A SEAL Wolf Hunting. Editor loved it! So just need to add a few more details on a couple of things, and then I’ve got to turn it back in pronto. Waiting on one more Silver Wolf Christmas beta read, then can turn it in. And one more Call of the Cougar beta read, and can publish. And two audiobooks waiting for review–Huntress for Hire and Her Highland Hero. *sigh*

So far the schedule for the first of the new books is: SEAL Wolf Diving, Feb 2016, She-Wolf Leader (titles to change btw), Jun 2016, and Jaguar Jingle Bells, Oct 2016, and Billionaire in Wolf’s Clothing, Feb 2017

And it’s 38 degrees this morning!! It’s cold, but I refuse to turn on the heat. It’s going to be a high of 65 today. That’s the lowest we’ve been this fall. Tomorrow, back to 73 degrees and then 78 the next day.

Have a wonderful Saturday!!! After he’s finished with projects today, I’m going to be doing a lot of cleaning. Dust everywhere. And I’ll be redecorating a bit later. I moved a big cabinet to another location, and so it freed up a wall and need to do something else there. 🙂

So what do you think?

Off Deadline! On Deadline!

Oct31

I’m getting ready to turn in A Silver Wolf Christmas, just waiting on my final beta reader. It’s due Nov 1. I think someone made a mistake because last time I checked, that’s Saturday. 🙂

Good news is? All the beta readers have loved A Silver Wolf Christmas and Call of the Cougar!

And I’m off deadline! NOT.

Even when I’m off deadline from contracted books, I set my own deadlines. My readers expect it. Right? So Phantom Fae will be out in December. I just received another beta read for Call of the Cougar, so one beta read left after that and I’ll be able to publish that in another week or so. Those are my other book deadlines.

But I also had remodeling deadlines. Trying to get them done before the last readers convention of the year. Trying to get them done before my kids come in to see me for Thanksgiving.

And bear deadlines. Christmas is coming!!! 🙂

Christmas always sneaks up on me. One minute, it’s at the end of the year. The next, it’s in a couple of days. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN???

Plum Bear with faux suede paws

This looks more burgundy from the picture, but it’s more purple/plum purple in color. Really pretty. I have another made for another order also. 🙂

Minky Wizard Bear

So yes, lots and lots of bear deadlines. I have a lot…let me count…I have 15 bears made that I need to finish. I will have to set a few days aside just to embroider paws!

And…probably next week, I’ll have NEW deadlines. I just got a note asking what my expected mss deadlines will be for the next 4 books!!! So you see, I had a few minutes reprieve for contracted deadlines. 🙂

I set the first for Mar, because I have two trips in Feb and two in April. The next in May, I think. Anyway…trying to give myself about 11 weeks to write books because of trips in between. And edits. Don’t forget the edits. All those books keeping popping back for first edits, second edits, and final proofing. and final, final proofing. 🙂

Okay, so I’m off to make more changes to Call of the Cougar and work on some more teddy bears! Because I got more orders this morning! And yes, I’m working on Phantom Fae also. Hopefully, the tile guys will be done today! 🙂 <3

Have a super great day!!! 🙂

Oh, wait, it’s Halloween today!! Happy Halloween!

Sherbert Bear and Amethyst Bear Ready to Trick-or-Treat!

Happy Halloween! 🙂

Brown Teddy Bears, Sunrise, and More Book Reviews!

Oct30

Grizzly Bear with faux suede paws

Faux Mink Bear with faux suede paws

Texas Sunrise

I loved this review too, by Jonathan Thurston!! for: The Vampire…In My Dreams! “The steamy, masculine vampire… the far from confident, pretty young girl… Familiar elements? Not in this thrilling novel. Terry Lee Wilde makes a stunning addition to the realm of young adult vampire literature by incorporating witches into the mix.

Marissa, an average teenage witch, lives in the shadow of her best friend (and often role model) Kate, who believes the tall, dark stranger in town is a vampire. What unfolds when the mysterious stranger falls in love with Marissa sends all three of them into a struggle against knife-wielding human test subjects, vampiric pizza delivery guys, and an ancient vampire who has a claim on our studly hero and wants Marissa dead.

Terry Lee Wilde breaks a lot of tradition with this book by putting vampires back where they belong: in the realm of mystery, seduction, masculinity (as opposed to sparkling), and dare I say a little terror.

And I loved this review by Cassandra Lost in Books: I think this is like Star Trek meets a Fae realm. It is a really cool idea. I’m wondering if there will be more of either the Elven World or of the Overseers. I will admit though as of right now I’d still want to slap the Overseers, but you will have to read or listen to see why.

Persephonice starts out kind of fragile with grief, but she becomes strong, and I really loved her as a character. She encounters so much trouble and overcomes all the stereotypes that she has been filled with out races who are full of passion.

Dracolin is a fierce warrior, and he is not sure why he is so drawn to Persephonice. There is lots of adventure and several men who need to be slapped, but it was a very enjoyable story 🙂 http://closkot.blogspot.com/2014/10/audiobook-review-shadow-elf-by-terry.html

How did it get to be Thursday already??? What happened to Wednesday?

Tile men are still here. They’re grouting today. And I’m off to work. Hope you have a lovely Thursday. I’m still wondering where my Wednesday went. Has that ever happened to you???

Renovating, Wildflowers, a Red Dragon Bear, and a Sunset

Oct28

I made up this bear for an order and have enough fabric to make one more, but it’s also sold now. 🙂

Red Dragon Bear

Lovely Texas Sunset last night.

Wildflowers and Roses still blooming.

A rose

Purple Wildflowers

Old Kitchen, Stove went out

This shows the old tile in the kitchen.

tile in kitchen before grout

old window in kitchen

Kitchen window, ice on inside

This was why I had to change out the window. Besides the wind blowing straight through it and feeling the cold air seeping through the single pane window, I had ice built up on the inside of the window last winter!

new kitchen with the new tile and window–still needs grout.

All these renovations have taken place over the years. But it sure is nice getting them done.

Off to work on stuff. I’m way behind on Phantom Fae. Too much distraction with the workmen here. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. 🙂

I think the kitchen has a much warmer appeal than it had before. What do you think?

Have a super lovely Tuesday!!!

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. 🙂

Cutting out more bears for orders and here is a new one too

Sweatpea pastel rainbow bear

This carpeting is such a mess! 35 years of stains.

And beneath it? 35 years of dust. 🙂

Will show After pictures later. 🙂

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!!!
