A Tribute to Wolves from a Fan

Jun26
No photo description available.

I loved this work by Jai Pietryka! He loves wolves and he loves my books! That makes him a hero in my book! The coat of arms bears the name of wolves lupus garou, that I created, so that is so cool!

I had to do the marketing materials for Billionaire She-Wolf, get word count on Hunting the Red Wolf (which I didn’t do) and do edits on Billionaire She-Wolf. Well, I sent in the marketing materials. I did MOST of the edits. I have a mix-up at the end of a chapter and beginning of the next–due to moving things around before I sent it to my readers, and one of my beta readers caught it, yay! So my next step is to read through the whole story and make any other changes I need to and then turn the book in. And get back on track with word count on Red Wolf.

But, granddaughter will be here in a few minutes and that means it will all have to happen later!

Have a great day!!!!

Telling a Story in Pictures

Dec7

A wolf wanting to play, but Spirit, the horse, is getting all the attention.

And Daz, the doberman, getting into the candy canes, and do you see the partially eaten cookie? Just when Santa is leaving too. But Daz doesn’t care. The presents are already under the tree.

Back to the book! It’s going to rain all day and we have flood warnings in effect. A good day to stay home and just….write. Have a great day!!!

The Behinder I Am….

Aug9

You know how that goes, right? The behinder you are, the more behind you’re bound to get?

But something happened. I think I went through that magical fairy door and suddenly, I’m two days ahead. Yes! Truly! No magical tale. And I’m still trying to figure out how that happened. But not too hard.

really up close blue and whtie flowers1 (640x427) fall colors bridge (2) toffee colors sunlight underneath bridge (640x427) bridge and purple flowers 600x400So yes, I’m 4,000 ahead, but all I do is adjust my word count, so now I’m right where I’m supposed to be! And I’m no longer behind. Until the next time. Top flowers are definitely some fairy flowers at one of the castle gardens. And then the mystical ancient stone bridge that totally looks like a fairy doorway, doesn’t it? And the last is another beautiful, ancient bridge in Scotland. Which is beautiful in its own right, but add the heather and other flowers and it truly is magical!

Wishing you a magical day too!

SEAL Wolf Hunting and Sea Lions

Jul2

Love these reviews! They’re starting to come in for SEAL Wolf Hunting!

It’s releasing on July 7, so get ready!

 

“If only you made a different choice, moved faster, slower, something, anything to change the outcome of a past event that haunts you with regret; haven’t we all experienced that? Such is the conflict that plagues the novel’s hero, Paul. Once a SEAL, always a SEAL and failure doesn’t sit well with him. The good thing about this story is that the angst doesn’t bog down the story, it just helps a reader understand what motivates the hero to make the choices he does, and why he says the things he says. In the very first chapter, not only does a reader see that, but they get a good dose of the kind of humor and quirky shenanigans Ms. Spear puts her characters through. Their first ‘rescue’ mission occurs when they come home and I found it hilarious.” Long and Short Reviews

http://teaandbook-shauni.blogspot.com/…/seal-wolf-hunting-r… “Terry Spear is back with yet another delightful and delicious read. In her 16th Heart of the Wolf Series Book, Ms. Spear returns to the her Seal Team, to the last of the unmarrieds.” Shaun, Tea and Book Blog

So what do you get when you mix a seal with a wolf?

A hot SEAL Wolf.

The Physics of Two Puppies Sharing One Space–My Lap

Feb22

Max on Top of Tanner

Max on Top of Tanner

Tanner on Top of Max

Tanner Being a Photo Hound

Tanner Being a Photo Hound

I have to say that taking these pictures is not easy. I have to raise the camera way above them so that it will focus and take them and I have NO idea what I’m really taking a picture of until I bring the camera down and check. I can’t see in the viewing window at the time I take the picture. It’s amazing that any of them captured what I was trying to show, both puppies curled up on my lap while I’m working on my current story, except while I paused to take a picture…or two. I never know when this phase will end with them because they will be too big. Or possibly in the summer, they would be too hot.

Max and Tanner looking back

Max and Tanner looking back

The towels are there to keep them from slipping off my lap or to the left, from slipping through the arm of the chair when one of them, or both, are sleeping to the side of me. Sometimes, I’ll feel a struggle going on next to me, and see one of them slipping, slipping, slipping…sometimes I’m able to rescue the one falling into deep space, or otherwise, landing on the tile floor. Sometimes not, and then the puppy wants right back up in my lap.  So no trauma there.  Tanner is 4 months and Max 7 months old Havanese. Max weighs 10 lbs and Tanner 5. It looks like Tanner is about as big as Max in these photos, but a lot has to do with his thicker fur and the angle of the camera.

Okay, off to write on the book some more. I’ve written 5500 over word count so far, and still haven’t reached the end. 🙂 And I always wonder why I worry about word count?

Have a glorious Sunday!

Here was my sunset last night.

Sun and Shadows in San Antonio–the Alamo & It’s Nearly Time to Party!!!

Jul30

RWA 2014,, San Antonio 034 (640x427)

The sun peeking through the wrought iron fences of one of the arches at the Alamo.

Shadows and Ivy (640x427)

I took a picture of the ivy trailing down the wall, but what I found fascinating when I looked at the picture later was the iron decoration, the beam, and the ivy’s shadows.

RWA 2014,, San Antonio 018 (640x427)

A ray of sunlight on the flowers that made it look like they were ready to beam up, aye, Scottie?

trellis with vines (640x427)

The lovely vine covered trellis, and the interesting patterns of live oak shadows across the grass.

Squirrel Alamo (639x640)

Two spots of sun next to the squirrel who decided to turn just as I snapped the shot! He looks a bit contorted, doesn’t he?

Texas bench (640x427)

And the slats of the Texas bench.

Okay, back to work, no more goofing off!

Eyes on the Palmer House–the Haunted Hotel in Chicago

Apr28

Eyes at the Palmer House

I did not add the square lights to the eyes. They were there when I found them. 🙂

The sculptures and other ornamentation were beautiful in the Palmer House.

Just for the record: We did not see any ghosts.

Isn’t the hotel beautiful? And it has all kinds of pictures of celebrities who performed here in the early days.

Okay, I’m home from conference and that means I’ve got to get back to work. No more chasing ghosts at opulent hotels or sightseeing other places. No more book signings and margaritas and dinners out. No more just plain fun. Until the next time. 🙂

Have a beautiful Monday!

Trying to Spread Some Winter Cheer with My Wolves!

Feb22

In the more northern reaches of the States, my friends have been buried under snow. And they’re tired of it. They sent me pictures, and feeling for them, while I’m planting my new plants and it’s 70 degrees out, I sent my wolves to warm them up.

What else could I do??? That’s what werewolf friends are supposed to do, right? Send in the pack to help?

So here’s what happened when they arrived. It was time for a photo op.

The first is in Minnesota. The second is in Chicago area.

And now I’m back to edits on A Highland Wolf Christmas.

Highland Wolf Christmas-300 (390x640)Which means, I’m back to hibernating…

But not sleeping!

But I’ve been tossing around the idea of working on a shorter book for Bella’s wolf pack in Heart of the Wolf, and one for the lost Arctic wolf pack that is currently homeless. 🙂

Are you interested?

Cougar’s Mate, the first in the series will be coming out soon also!

Pinterest!

Jan24

I’m on Pinterest because I enjoy sharing my pictures. And it’s pretty cool when other’s share my book covers as books that are their favorites or are on their To Be Read Shelf.

One day, I was invited to share pictures on the Texas Parenting Magazine Texas pictures board. I thought that was REALLY cool.

Well, yesterday, I had another big thrill. One of my all-time favorite authors, Sandra Brown, began following my Pinterest boards, and I learn that she was born in Waco, Texas! Now, I live near there, not from here originally, but wow, had a total fan-girl moment, and believe me, that RARELY happens.

It’s kind of a fun place!  And who knows when you might just get to “meet” someone you really admire a whole lot in a big Texas way. 🙂

 

Wolves–the Shifter Variety

Wolves--the Shifter Variety / I loved reading The Call of the Wild and White Fang when I was young, so when I began to write werewolf romances, I based the wolf half on real wolves, rather than some beastly creature. Just think, the man next door who changed your car's flat tire, or who rescued your cat from the tree, could really be none other than a sexy werewolf at heart. / by Terry Spear
