It’s Cool Out!

Dreamy Cheetah, Dallas, Texas

Well, my post went off yesterday instead of today, so trying this again.

Riverwalk, San Antonio, Texas

My latest obsession: textured art.

Okay, baby’s here. Weather is cool. Shocker!!!! I spent half of yesterday pulling weeds because it was cooler than usual. Soooooo great!

Off to babysit. Have a fun day!

San Antonio–The Riverwalk

Reflections of colorful umbrellas in the river, honeybee on flowers, Duck and her ducklings, Baby seeing the city view

Having internet issues this morning. And I can’t type. lol

So, I haven’t posted a blog in a while, and baby was the reason! My daughter was at a school nutrition conference, she was a speaker for a couple of classes, and I took care of baby. Which meant getting absolutely NO time to write or blog or anything. BUT, baby and I walked along the Riverwalk in San Antonio for 4+ hours every day. Four hours in the morning, and she slept for two, and another hour and a half in the evening when we went out with Momma to eat dinner. And I took a lot of fun pictures. And baby and I had fun too. But forget about getting a good night’s sleep either. lol

Glad to be home, but Momma and Daddy want me to babysit for their anniversary on Saturday, so baby will be here again. Getting edits done on SEAL Wolf Surrender so I can turn in the book today. We got in yesterday and I worked on 3 bears, heads are on! Still need ears and noses.

Have a super, duper day!!!

Buchanan Clan Bear–Sold!

Buchanan Clan Bear (640x582)Here is Buchanan Clan Bear and he’ll be off to his new home soon. He’s wearing the ancient plaid of the Buchanan. Working on Armstrong Clan Bear today and a Navy bear. I still have a stack of orders to get done. I’ve ordered tartan fabric for two more bears, blue fabric for 2 more, and another wants purple. 🙂 Plus more. 🙂  Wilde & Woolly Bears

I only got 1,000 done on Call of the Cougar yesterday, but finished two Buchanan Clan bears, and am halfway done on an Armstrong Clan bear. 🙂 I hope to get 2,000 done on Cougar today. I had an idea of the near end scene, but still 17,000 or so words to get there. I might just write the scene and then go back in and write the rest of the story to get there. Sometimes I have to do that because a scene will come to me that isn’t in the perfect linear order. I actually was sewing up bonnets for the three clan bears when it came to me. I had to stop what I was doing, and write them down. Or I’d forget it!

 

Thanks, Åsa Maria Bradley, for sharing this photo! Love it!!! This way it’s not just my word we ACTUALLY rode “home” in it. Had fun with you and Cheryl Brooks and Mia Marlowe Connie Mason! Cheryl is to the left of me. And I’m the one who is all smiles. 🙂  <3 Having a ball.

But I’ve also been trying to come up with the plots for 3 more stories, and have one for a jaguar Christmas story, and just about have one for another SEAL wolf story, and then need to write another Silver wolf one.

Aloha On My Mind–Kim took a picture of several of us signing, which was really nice because I can’t take pictures of me and I never think to ask anyone! This is for Literacy and raised $53,000!

 

And another 5 star review!!!

 

HeroOfAHighlandWolf

I give this book 5 stars.

Well done, once again Terry Spear you have given us a book that kept me engrossed from the start to the finish, so much so that I read this book in one day. This is about an American woman that inherits a castle in Scotland from her family and a pack of Highland wolf shifters that live there.

And I’m here with an interview at Authors Interviews!

Two crepe myrtle volunteers in between the big ones. Everything is looking so colorful!

brown cornfields and crepe myrtles (640x427)

A view of the crepe myrtles, storm clouds, that didn’t rain, but at least made it cooler, and the cornfields, ready to be harvested. It sounded like the wind blowing through a forest the other day, or ocean waves, the way the wind blew through the dry cornstalks.

Off to get ready for the writing and bear-making day!

Have a super lovely day! It was only 87 yesterday, and it was beautiful. Supposed to be 100 or close to it most of next week. 🙁

A Romantic Carriage Ride in San Antonio

This was the horse behind us.

And before the ride.

After a lovely meal, we were able to ride in the pink lighted carriages. The horse behind us, pictured, was not pink, but the lights turned him that way.

Talk about a bunch of romance authors having the <3 royal princess <3 treatment! Sourcebooks was great!

And we had a great time!

But the fun is over and it’s back to a billion deadlines before the NEXT conference, which is rapidly approaching.

And so is the release of Hero of a Highland Wolf!! Had this lovely review when I got home and started going through my emails! 🙂 <3

Hero Of A Highland Wolf is the 14th book in the series, and I swear this is one of my favorites so far. I just adored every aspect of the story and I couldn’t put this one down once I started into it. We see some old characters from past books, which was fun and hilarious and made the story seem even more enjoyable…the icing of the cake!!

The characters in the story were lively and engaging. Grant…is your alpha wolf. Commanding, jealous, possessive and way too over protective, and with a hidden passion that will make you weak in the knees. The male who has had his share of women, and never thought of settling down….but Ian proves him wrong. There is such a male commadarie in the story and we see more of their friendship in this story. Colleen is best friends with Julia….a secret they have kept from the men until now. So they have some aces up their sleeves and know how to pull a wringer on their mates…Collen was such a fun and feisty heroine. She fights for what she believes, is passionate, and independent, but accepts love when she sees it.

Overall a wonderful display of wolf shifter romance, with some historical Scottish culture in a modern day setting, a sexy highlander wolf in a kilt (WOWZERS). a one of a kind heroine, sword fighting, pirate playacting, and some amusing scenes to keep you laughing for days!!! A engrossing story to steal your heart!! EXCELLENT!! Renee B. Addicted to Romance

This was a fun-filled working vacation! 🙂 Do you ever have those and then need a REAL vacation?

The Alamo!

Discovered the Alamo was within walking distance from our hotel, so we walked over there to see it. I saw it years ago way before it had been moved, I’m sure.

More pictures soon!!!

The River Walk is delightful. Between the wonderful workshops, meeting so many lovely romance writers, and visiting with friends, it’s been just a truly awesome conference! #RWA14

#RWA14 = Romance Writers of America Conference 2014!!

I asked if Carolyn would wear her red cowboy boots and she did for our breakfast excursion! She is the sweetest!

And then we had even more of a treat! Sharon Sala sat with us and she shared some wonderful tales that were absolutely fascinating.

Carolyn’s husband, Charles, who was our photographer, and I always love talking to him about everything–this time about cameras. 🙂

Had a really lovely time, ladies, and thanks so much to Carolyn and Charles for buying us breakfast! 🙂

Okay, off to visit some more with whomever I can visit with! Hope you all are having a lovely Wednesday! 🙂
