This is another friend’s beautiful cat. She was actually looking up at Christmas balls, so I created this composite instead.
Another day of potty training, painting rusty objects–started on a black bistro set, but need more paint. My granddaughter wanted me to paint the chairs and table all different colors. lol I could have, but I am trying for a more unified look.
Trying to remember which story I wrote that the she-wolf picked up the wrong suitcase and it was full of counterfeit money. I’ve written over a 100 stories for the last twenty years so I remember a lot of details, but my publisher changes my titles, sooooo…. It probably was a novella, but it might not have been. It was with the Greystoke Pack (Bella and Devlyn, I believe). But I want to learn who the mated wolves are in the story so I don’t remate them to someone else accidentally!!!
Off to get ready for little one.
Have a glorious day!

Isn’t he elegant? My friend took him in and I had fun creating this composite.
I think I had 8 chapters left to edit on The Wolf of My Eye. I’ve finished 19 of them. I had hoped to finish it this weekend, but I was at a Barbie birthday party all day Saturday, so I only managed to get 8 more chapters whittled down yesterday.
I’m off to do some more before I go to pilates for some more torture and then home to concentrate on the Highland wolf book for the rest of the day!
Hope you are enjoying your day.

I was playing around with some artwork I had done, but it wasn’t nearly this nice. The dragon is from midjourney, girl from Daz3D, background, bokeh, flying flecks of gold, and some of her hair was added. Plus I worked on her eyes to make them pop a bit.
Okay, I’m off to work on edits!
Have a beautiful Friday!!

On a zinnia flower in my backyard. Okay, so I took the photo last year as the zinnia aren’t up yet, but the seeds are just sprouting. The swallowtails are out already though. I’ve seen a couple looking for flowers in my backyard. They know they will be there. Roses and Gerbera Daisies are already blooming!
I’m off to work on the Highland book. I’m up to 35K.
Have a beautiful day!

I love these roses. They turn all different colors, from oranges to pinks to peaches. And the seedlings are spouting forth from all the perennial seeds we planted. Hmm, what will they be when they flower? It’s like Christmas!
I was out in a RUSH this morning trying to get all my cut branches bundled for the trash and finish painting that cart and work on some other garden ornaments before it pours. We’re supposed to have thunderstorms all day, but I managed to get everything done and the painted projects moved to the covered porch before the rains started. Yay!
I was assembling the last of the flowerbeds with my grandson last night. He’s not even 3 but he placed 48 bolts in the panel holes so I could add the wing nuts! We had an adventure with watering though. I fill up his turtle watering can and he takes it outside to water his blue flowerbed. I’m still filling mine up when he returns for more water. It wasn’t until I headed out with him that I saw he’d spilled at least a 1/2 a watering can load of water each time on the dining room floor. lol And when I went out to see if he got any in the flowerbed, he had. All in one spot. So I was teaching him (you know you think kids should know things like this because you knew them when you were born), that the earth is lighter where it’s dry and needs water, and the darker the earth, the wetter it is. But we love our adventures and he was a great help with cleaning up all the spilled water in the dining room. When we got sis after school, we filled up the water cans OUTSIDE. Even grandmas can learn some new tricks.
Off to work on the Highlander book. I worked on it all day. The original was about 82K, but I’m scrapping a lot of the end, which I loved, because I want to go in a similar but different direction. That means grabbing paragraphs I want to keep and heavily revising them. But I don’t get rid of the earlier mss. Who knows if I might be able to salvage it later?
Have a terrific Thursday!!

They’re like little kids. They can’t tell you what’s wrong, though you know something is. Tanner didn’t eat his food, and here’s Tanner trying to eat it. So I gave Max his food a couple of more times, then he slept. He went out every time that I took them out. He was moving around just fine. But he wouldn’t eat. My dogs tell me when it’s time to eat whether it is or isn’t. They are chow hounds.
Then he finally ate and was fine. So I guess he just had an upset stomach. He’s been fine since that happened on Friday. But it’s worrisome when your pet becomes ill. He and his brother are 10 this year.
Clear skies. Chilly this morning. Have all kinds of writing plans. I’ve got an idea for a fae story, but I’ve started on a medieval wolf story. I have other stories finished I want to revise (but they need major overhauls–old formatting with really early, early, early writing programs and my writing has improved sooooo much from when I wrote those that they need to really be rewritten–which I’ve been doing from time to time…) and so I’m at that crossroads. Which story do I jump into? A new book? An old book? A partially written book?
I’m always excited and undecided when I have to decide which next book to write. 🙂 Is a character calling to me that he or she wants their story written? Or are my readers? Either works for me!
I have several painting projects for outdoor stuff to do. All my wrought iron furniture needs to be painted. My problem is that I can’t find a mask that can keep the fumes out. So I do a little panting and then have to stop. And I have several gardening projects started and need to do several more. Never a dull moment, while I write this and watch the doves and sparrows come in to eat at the feeders.
Hope you have a decisive noteworthy day!

The miniature rosebush is really prolific and I love it, but sunshine ligustrum had taken it over, which is really beautiful too. But the roses needed more sunshine, so yesterday was moving day. When I moved it, I didn’t realize I had split it in two, so now I have 2 yellow miniature rosebushes. I just hope they do well in their new planting beds.
Little one here, so we’re off to get some groceries. Their little flowerbeds were a huge success and today my grandson scattered perennial wildflower seeds in his and we planted some of them outside also. It will be fun for them to water them and see them grow into flowers, and the surprise will be what kind of flowers they will be.
I finished Huntress Unleashed last night from beginning to end. Yay! Now I’m going to let it sit for a few days, then start to edit it again so that my mind is fresh on it. Not sure what my next project will be. I was thinking of the fae, but I haven’t started one. I do have a Highland wolf historical started, so maybe that…. Or a cougar book. They’ve been neglected. Then again, I’ve had more requests for bears. Or another elf book. So many to write, so many decisions. I love it!
Hope your day is splendid!

The 4-leaf clover is actually a photo of one of the 4-leaf-clovers I’ve found in my backyard. I’ve only found one other in the backyard. Now my granddaughter is trying to find one. Good luck with that. I had to keep looking at this one to make sure it really, truly had 4 leaves.
I’m off to write. I have only one more scene to go on Huntress Unleashed. But I need to edit it a few more times also. I always edit as I go along because I change my mind about things, or I forget I mentioned something I want to write further on. Then after all those edits, it will be time to proof it.
We were supposed to get rain all day, now, we’re not, so I’ll be outside painting and planting.
We’re having corned beef, potatoes, carrots, and cabbage for dinner tonight for St. Patrick’s Day. It’s time to celebrate! Well, actually every day is time to celebrate.
Have the best of luck today and all year long!

This hanging basket has a flowering plant in it–don’t remember the kind, but it survived the winter and is just barely greening up. But in the meantime, birds dropped two sunflower seeds in the basket, and voila, one of them just bloomed. 🙂
Okay, with that fun and exciting news, I’m back to Huntress for Hire. I ended up dreaming I was a vampire, and I could shift into a wolf. I was howling for my lost daughter. That’s what I get for writing about vampires and shifters.
We had 3 1/2 inches of rain yesterday, severe thunderstorms knocking out my electricity and internet for a short while. We have more tonight and tomorrow, and the temperature dropped, which is welcome. Chives are coming up. Planted daylilies and bell pepper seeds (from the grocery store peppers I cooked in the spaghetti for lunch yesterday), and planted caladiums also.
But for now, I’m back to the book! Hope your day is going great!
