Facebook Christmas Party Today, and More Bears Finished!

Christmas

On October 10th, it’s an all genre Christmas party and I’m celebrating the release of my new Highland wolf book: A Highland Wolf Christmas–TODAY starting at 10 am Central Standard Time!

https://www.facebook.com/events/852374908108006

Rainbow and Sherbert Bears

Bear order completed last night and typed notes from the plane on Call of the Cougar. Have 2 more bear orders I want to finish today. But it’s time to PARTY!!!

And this wonderful review from Jen on That’s What I’m Talking About!

http://twimom227.com/2014/10/review-a-highland-wolf-christmas-by-terry-spear.html

I am so glad to have finally been able to read Calla and Guthrie’s story. These two have been circling each other for a while now as secondary characters, and I very much enjoyed how their obvious fascination for one another played out. Although they’ve known each other for most of their lives, except for the time Calla’s family lived elsewhere, they really don’t know each other well at all. But, from the beginning of the book, Calla and Guthrie are revealed to be surprising and unpredictable, and it doesn’t take long for a grudging proximity to one another to turn into an undeniable and sweet attraction.

Although I’ve liked all of Ms. Spear’s leading clan wolves for various reasons, Guthrie may be my favorite of them yet. As the pack accountant, he’s more somber and analytical, as well as more skeptical and hesitant, than the other members of his family. Guthrie is lacking in the alpha-male blustering that his brothers have expressed so comically in previous stories, his drive to ensure the survival of himself and his pack dictating nearly all of his decisions. He’s just as strong and willing to fight as the others, but his approach is as much about purpose as passion.

A Highland Wolf Christmas

Heart of the Wolf #15 | 07/10/2014

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.

The Cardinal Feast

Sep26

4 cardinals, 3 males, 1 female

Do you see the cardinal in flight? When the one landed on the walk, the other took flight. He flew off so quickly, I didn’t think I’d caught him in the shot at all.

4 cardinals, 2 males, 2 females

In another shot, I didn’t realize I’d captured 2 females. I was concentrating on the two males, and saw the 2 females. So it was fun seeing the 5 cardinals at the feeding station nearly, only not all at the same time.

To capture these, I have to move a stool in front of the window and have my camera ready to get above the screen and hedge. When I do this, they often see me and fly off. So I was really fortunate that I was able to capture any of them at all!

I kept thinking I needed a bird blind, but then–I got lucky without one! 🙂 <3

Still working away on Call of the Cougar. A 1,000 words away from my word goal, but a long way from the end. Still working on bear orders. Have about 30 in various states of progress. And about that number in orders to finish. 🙂

Remember about the giveaway at ROYAL REVIEWS if you haven’t had a chance to comment:

Wolf books

Comment at Royal Reviews for chance to win! 🙂 http://theroyalreviews.blogspot.com/2014/09/shifters-galore-let-fun-begin-by-terry.html This ends on Oct 1!

Do you have cardinals around? I didn’t realize I had so many until two males landed on the feeder at once and I knew another was much brighter red than them. I learned that the two in this picture that aren’t as bright red are the young males and they’ll keep changing until their feathers are all red. 🙂 And this was the first time I saw the two females at the same time. I thought maybe the one and the bright red male were Mom and Dad, because one pair of cardinals had two babies.

Momma on her nest. And both little babies heads were out when I came by the one time, but they ducked back into the nest so by the time I returned with the camera, I couldn’t see them. 🙂

I’m back to working on Cougar, bears, and wishing you a Happy TGIF!!!

Have a great Friday! 🙂

Foggy Fall–Perfect for Vampires!

Sep19

Fog over the cornfields

Foggy Morning

Fog

Showing depth of fog via telephone poles

It’s definitely a paranormal, vampire kind of morning. I think of foggy London streets and well, foggy Texas cornfields, which by the way, I don’t think they should still be standing. They’re looking to be in sad shape and I think something has happened to our farmer.

Purple Bear

And I continue with making bears! Finished 2 last night, but can’t show off the one as it’s a gift for Christmas and the recipient might see it.

I’ve been working on Call of the Cougar, but because of the big push to promote Tall, Dark and Paranormal, I haven’t been making any kind of solid word count. Maybe a 1,000 in the last 2 days. I haven’t had time to type up my notes.

So off to work on that, and hope you all have a lovely TGIF. Days are beginning to blend into one another like the scenery blending in with the fog!

We want you to get some peeks into our super sexy box set and we’re hoping you’ll share these snippets with your friends. In fact, we’re so excited about it and you guys have been so supportive of us…we want to give away more prizes!

Tall, Dark and Paranormal Excerpts War!!!

Sep18

Visit our FB page for excerpt wars!

https://www.facebook.com/TallDarkandParanormal

We are trying to make a list–USA Today Bestseller/NY Times Bestseller. Believe me, it isn’t easy. You have to really work at it, like you do at anything else.

I spent all day either at the FB party or promoting, and today, we’ve started Excerpt Wars and we’re talking to some other successful box set list authors to dual promote.

So IF we make a list, it wasn’t by waving a magic wand.

I did manage to finish these bears to ship today, and I do have to run errands, have lunch out and see a movie with a friend because she’s leaving. 🙁

Tinsel Bear Momma and Baby

Christmas Tinsel Bear

And that’s it for now! Have to get this posted and back to the war!!!

Have a lovely Thursday! It’s stormy and beautiful out. Just perfect for vampires in Huntress for Hire to be out and about!

Morning Pictures–and the feel of the Paranormal

Sep10

I “finished” writing A Silver Wolf Christmas, which means I’m still working on revisions, but it’s done! And so I worked on bears, still have about 20 to go but here is a picture of the 9 headless bears! They’re stuffed, and some of the arms and legs are closed. I’ll finish closing the seams on the legs and arms tonight, and sew up the heads. 🙂

To go along with headless bears and the look of Halloween, the paranormal, etc., here is a picture of the full moon this morning!

And if that wasn’t enough, my chewed up pistachio, but it’s kind of hard to show that the grasshoppers are devouring it.

And a really cool picture of a spiderweb, perfect for that Halloween look.

And I started re-reading Call of the Cougar, so hopefully I can finish writing that in the next couple of weeks and edit it too.

Off to ship bears!

Have a super great, wait, got to get the garbage out Wednesday!

Grizzly Bears, Jester Bears, Angel Bears, Mauve Bears and Purple Sweater Bears, oh my!

Aug23

Grizzly Bear

I do have grizzly bear fabric to make more of them.

Best Friends Bear

I don’t have any more Best Friend purple sweaters. Just checked because I had another request for one. But I do have a new sweater I’ve ordered that’s black and pink and says: Girlfriends on it, and I’ll show it when it comes in.

Angel Bear

This bear was one of a kind. I have a different style angel bear I’ll be making up in the future that has been featured in Teddy Bear Review Magazine.

Mauve Bear

I have 2 more of the mauve mohair bears.

Pierre, Le Jester Bear

Pierre Le Jester Bear is one of a kind.

All these bears are on their way to new homes today! And I’m shipping off book and t-shirt prizes for the last contest. The post office must love me.

So as soon as I ship them, I’m back to writing and trying to make my 40,000 word goal this weekend.

Request for Another Bear, and a Review!

May10

Another Confetti Bear. Better picture. The sun was setting when I took the one before this. It was getting dark when I took this one, but bear shows up as more of it’s natural white color and all its lovely confetti colors.

Still had a guest blog to do, but when I got another bear order, and another chance to watch a movie???? After working on 6 guest blogs yesterday?

You guessed it! I was ready to take a break.

I also got a great review this morning for Silence of the Wolf:

5 Ribbons!

An action-packed paranormal romantic suspense, SILENCE OF THE WOLF, the thirteenth novel in award winning author Terry Spear’s HEART OF THE WOLF series, will sweep you up into the storyline right from the very first page. Tom and Elizabeth are both alphas and there is an undeniable connection between them. Before long, they are heating up the pages as danger pursues Elizabeth. Not only is her family in the area, there is also the question of four brothers who were once part of the pack until Darien killed their father. Are they the ones behind the missing livestock, or is it her uncle and half-brother? Are the brothers back for retribution, or for some other reason?

With non-stop action, thrilling suspense, danger, a beautiful setting, well-drawn characters, this story will keep readers guessing right up to the very satisfying ending. The secondary plot of the four brothers also provides additional depth and appeal to the story. Although this is the thirteenth novel in this series, it can easily be read as a standalone. Since the first time I picked up one of Ms. Spear’s books, I have been a fan. She never disappoints and keeps the adrenaline steadily climbing with each book. If you are looking for a terrific story with plenty of the paranormal, mystery, romance, humor and heat, look no further than SILENCE OF THE WOLF. A wonderfully entertaining novel! By Romance Junkies Reviewer: Dottie

Reviews like this make me want to jump back into my writing! 🙂

But first, *sigh*, I have to do another guest blog.

Have a lovely Saturday!!!

Bears and Books!

Jan23

Way before I was writing books, well, I was writing children’s books, I was making teddy bears that won awards and have been featured in magazines and newspapers. When the Internet came into existence, I scrambled to get a website because the time of going to craft shows had to be expanded. I wanted to reach out across the world. And so I did!

I’ve sold all over the US, Canada, France, Belgium, Australia, South Africa, Kazakhstan and Russia! This tells me that teddy bears are loved universally!!!!

I make them from scratch and personalize them when needed. I did embroidery work since I was young, and this was a way for me to still do it (my family had enough embroidered pictures that they were definitely glad when I had another outlet for my handwork)!

These four bears are off to Australia. There’s one more, but her sweater didn’t come in on time. The two mohair bears, Isla and Thomas are new twins. 🙂

I’m working on a Campbell bear and he’s nearly done. Picture tomorrow!

Have a wonderful day! Only 5200 words left on Jaguar Pride and I’m excited to finish it. It won’t be all the way finished, as I’ll have to edit it. But that’s the really fun part. 🙂 Making the story truly come to life.
