Happy 4th!! & Organizing the Clutter!

Okay, so why didn’t I schedule a day off from writing for the holiday????? I’ll be having a barbecue at my daughter and SIL’s and we’ll watch a movie later this afternoon. Baby will be in the wading pool, so I’ll try and take pictures.

Besides needing to get word count (at 8,000 already!!!–see it adds up when I just sit my patootie down and write), I’ve been majorly overhauling my bear materials’ bins. Moving is a great way to clean out stuff. BUT, it also meant that I was way behind on book deadlines and had more bear orders I was trying to finish up, organize the house, etc, etc, etc, and 2 1/2 years later, I’m finally making some of my dressed bears. Which means constantly searching through big opaque plastic tubs for materials.

Sooooooo, I have been organizing, and organizing, and organizing, and I really love doing that!!! Because now I can really find stuff! Woohoo!!! And I don’t have to buy more stuff, thinking I don’t already have it. Or…I need to order stuff, now realizing I’m getting short on supplies.

Now, before I moved, I had cut out dragon wizard cloaks, top halves, but in the move and shoving everything away in boxes (it was a total nightmare at the very end as I was running out of time), I decided it was time to make up the cloaks and guess what???? Missing cloak halves. Naturally. Some I have the full sets on. Yay! So as I go through and continue to organize, hopefully I’ll find the other pieces!

I finished 3 Steampunk Bears. Flo Featherspoon is sold. Patriotic Patrick was sold. He’s my 4th of July Bear! The other two are $69 each. Each is completely unique and comes with a working miniature pocket watch.

Okay, off to write and organize. It’s pouring out. Yay! We so needed the rain.

Hope your day is great!!! Happy 4th!! Mine is getting more clutter free. Yay!

One More Bear to Complete! Changing out a Cover…

Steampunk Bears are done. I have one more bear to finish up. I’m waiting on the Davidson Clan Fabric still. They had to reship it from Scotland because it never came. 🙁

I’ve been up forever, but with the new cover for Kiss of the Vampire, I had to change out the cover and the manuscript for all the book seller sites, and I redid the ebook into print book form, spent all day yesterday doing that, had to make the cover for the print book form–spent all morning doing that, and working up an audiobook cover–not sure if I can change it out–waiting to hear back from ACX on that, and uploaded the print version. Waiting on proof on that now.

And that’s what happens when you change out a cover. 🙂 <3 While it’s in process and before I proof and approve it, it’s unavailable for sale in print. But, the ebook is now available at all the sites with the new cover.

Kiss of the Vampire

That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.

Upcoming Book 2

I’d asked the cover artist who had done a couple of other covers I loved if she could do a vampire teen cover. She wasn’t sure. So I asked the lady who has done my cougar covers, and then voila! I ended up with 3 I loved, hers, and the other two.

Soooo…what to do? Easy.

The Vampire…In My Dreams needed a new cover, and so this one was born.

And I needed a new cover for Kiss of the Vampire, but it worked out beautifully to pick up both covers to create the series. And now with a cover, maybe I’ll get to it. The sequel is started. And so is the sequel to The Vampire…In My Dreams.

Off to work on Phantom Fae. I need to put The Vampire…In My Dreams in print also. 🙂

Still working with my beta reader on Call of the Cougar. She works, so that’s the only reason this isn’t already done. 🙂

Have a super great Tuesday. Sheesh, where did Monday go???

Steampunk Bears Finished! & Fostering Pets

Finished another order of 4 Steampunk Bears! They are on their way for Christmas!

I think I have 14 orders to go. I shipped off A SEAL Wolf Hunting back to my editor also. Working on edits on Call of the Cougar with my final beta reader right now.

Had a lovely Readers and Rita’s Conference this weekend, and now it’s time to quit goofing off, again. 🙂  Well, except for Thanksgiving coming up!

And my friend Bonnie Gill created this video to share in hopes of having one of her foster dogs adopted. I think it’s wonderful that folks do this to keep the dogs from being euthanized and give them a second chance at having a home. I took in a cat, Trixie, who lived to be about 14 years of age. The sweetest cat in the world that had been taken in by the Kitty Welfare Society–a group of women who took in cats and fostered them until they could find homes for them. But they are in a home environment. Trixie was found with her little brother at a Dumpster, looking for food.

I’m off to proof two books and need to finish up some more bears. 🙂 Have a glorious Monday! Warm today, cold tomorrow. 🙂

The End! A Silver Wolf Christmas, Done! And A Giveaway!

There’s nothing more fun than finishing a book! Then after I finished reading it and sending it off to beta readers, it was time to cut out more bear orders. Received 4 more yesterday. Somehow, I don’t think I’m getting ahead of the game!

Steampunk and Rainbow Bears in Process

Steampunk and Rainbow Bears in Process

It’s amazing what a few hours will do–turn fur into fun creations. The two on the left are finished, though I still have to embroider all their paws. But the bears and outfits are made. And here they are! The other 4 are ready with their vests in their laps and their hats in progress. Have to make new style dresses for them.  On the rainbow bears, the one is ready to be embroidered. The next needs a nose and he’s ready to be embroidered. The last needs a head, eyes, ears and a nose, and then he needs to be embroidered.

Steampunk Bear--Sold

Steampunk Bear with Tapestry Vest–Sold!

If I was only making bears, I’d have them all done by now. But my day job…and night, is writing. So I do the bears AFTER I get my writing done. Or…like yesterday while I was working on rereading A Silver Wolf Christmas for the last time, I was working on the two Steampunk bear hats at the same time. I usually don’t do that, but they’re not furry, so I could. Fur in the keyboard probably wouldn’t help my writing. 🙂

So next project to finish up? Call of the Cougar. If I can figure out the ending, I’ll have it made! 🙂

But in the meantime, I did cut out another 5 bears and they’re now in process. 🙂 I still have more to cut out for orders. Waiting on fabric for two of them.

Okay, off to write. Oh, AND, TOMORROW is release day for TALL, DARK and Paranormal!

One more giveaway before tomorrow–if you read my books, what is your favorite series that I’m writing? And why? If you don’t, what do you read the most of?

I read Regency. I love it! But I don’t write it. Which is why I read it. I also love Highland stories, but only because I never see them written in the time period I write in. I don’t read werewolf books. After I wrote my first cougar book, I read a short novella that was supposed to be a cougar shifter book, but guess what? No one shifted. How can you call a book a shifter book if no one shifts???

One of the things we do as an author is make a pack with the reader. If I say it’s a wolf shifter book, I’d better show you some shifting. Into wolves! If I say it’s a medieval Highland book, I’d better show you some Highlanders in medieval times. And if I say it’s a vampire book…well, you know the drill–sharp teeth, hot and sexy (yes, my vampires are hot and sexy, not cold and dead) ….

Hope you all have a lovely Monday. I opened my blinds to get my morning blue light–remember: blue light is good for you, for your psyche, and it’s pitch black out. Somehow I will have to survive another hour or so with no blue light, orange light, or any other kind of light! Oh, yeah, I can turn on the overhead light, but what’s the fun in that?

Oh, the winner shall receive his or her choice of any ebook you haven’t read–that I can give. I can’t give wolf or jaguar books. I don’t have ecopies of them, or Deadly Liaisons, The Vampire…In my Dreams or the first two Highland books. They’re with publishers. But anything else on my website is fair game. 🙂 <3

Have a super great Monday!!! Tuesday is the big day!
