Speaking of Reindeer…

Sep18

I’ve been working on Christmas Wolf Surprise, another red wolf and reindeer story, so I’m enrolled in Tara Lashers art classes and she had one for a dog, so I took one of my penguin photos to add his antlers and nose and lights.

Did you know reindeer can have red noses? And if the light shines on them just right…okay, maybe not the glowing part, but to keep their noses warm, they can have so many blood vessels, they make the nose appear red. I learned so much that I didn’t know about reindeer while I was writing the book. Like Santa’s reindeer had to all be females. lol The males drop their antlers in November or early December. The females get to keep theirs.

I finally made minimum word count on the book and it’s up to 81,000. I’m doing some edits this morning, but after that, I think I’ve written all my scenes and need to go back through and re-read the whole thing. I also reformatted the Darkland Elf, and want to reread it one last time to republish it since I didn’t have a print version, and need to do that also. I might do a new cover for it.

And I need to proof my novella for the anthology one last time. And then I’m working on Angel Fae and hope to finish that. So lots and lots of fun projects to do!!

Have a great day!!!

Reindeer Pups

Dec20

I love my dogs. They make great frog princes, reindeer, pumpkin heads, Ewoks, whatever I can think of to turn them into and they’re so good-natured about it. Okay, so Tanner looks like he’s giving me the look and Max won’t look at the camera (but he is camera shy and he never looks at the camera if he can avoid it), but really, they are eager for me to pay attention to them so they both are jumping at me to try the “thing” on. When one has it on, the other one wants it on, then it’s time to take it off. Good puppies.

I’m still working on Vampire Redemption, 8,000 words in 3 days. I have 23,000, need around 50-60K more. I’m hoping to be halfway done by the end of next week (around 40K), but I’ll have to begin working on the Highland wolf book, so I may not get this done for another year.

Not all vampires are evil in my books. When I saw Dracula in the theater when I was a teen, I fell in love with him. He deserved to be loved. Just like Wolfman did. So in my stories, vampires can be good and some are rogues, just like in my wolf stories. Just like humans.

Hunters, who survived the Black Death like the vampires, are changed, except they don’t drink blood. They hunt the rogues. But what happens when a hunter is turned? Now the rogue vampires really have a fight on their hands.

I’m off to get things done! We’re having our Christmas early so the kids can see his parents for Christmas Day. We alternate each year. I used to see my son on alternate years, but he and his new wife are having her mother visit instead. So that will throw us off completely for next year. Either they can visit and see all of us, or I’ll visit them at some other time. Family is really important to me, but it has to work both ways.

Hope you have a delightful day!!! I can’t wait for Christmas!
