Bears and Books R’ Us–Or, Technically, Me!

Dec11

Finished the cover for His Wild Highland Lass for the audio book version. And I need to make the one for Dawn of the Jaguar.

Finished these two little bears. I finished the one when it was too late to go outside to take pictures so she got to sit on my Christmas tree. They’ll be going home soon for Christmas.

Have a Highland bear to make–Bruce–and I just received a query for another Starbright Midnight Delight bear.

I also managed to write a thousand words on the Highland book. I’m not sure what I will call it. Need to make up my mind. 🙂

And I’ve contracted 3 more books with Sourcebooks–Kayla Wolff’s story, Grant’s other Highland brother’s story for Christmas, and Roxie Wolff’s story for New Year’s. Now, Kayla and Grant’s brother’s stories are for 2023. I’ve written and turned in the books for 2022. And Roxie’s is 2024 in January or thereabouts.

But in the meantime, I’ll also be working on other stories around them!

I’ve also been doing the Oscraps Daily 12 Days of Christmas challenges.

Creating a Border. I love blue, so wanted to make a blue Christmas.

I’m off to embroider Bruce’s paws and make his sash and bonnet! And type up my Highland story’s words too. And make the cover for the Dawn of the Jaguar audio book. It turned cold here. Yay! It feels great. It feels weird to be hot and muggy in December even early in the morning!

Have a super fun day!

Jingle Bell Wolf: An Action-Packed Holiday Shapeshifter Romance by Terry Spear

Credit: Sourcebooks Casablanca

Jingle Bell Wolf by Terry Spear

Paranormal stories aren’t just for Halloween! In this holiday romance, ski lodge owner Landon Wolff has to cope with an influx of wolf shifters in his town at Christmastime — but his wolfish instincts get turned to 11 when veterinarian Gabrielle Lowe comes to stay. If you prefer your holidays on the sexy side with hot guys who shapeshift into wolves, Jingle Bell Wolf is the perfect present for you.

https://www.amazon.com/Jingle-Bell-Wolf-Wolff-Brothers-ebook/dp/B08T4JP6RCUSA

Today bestselling author Terry Spear brings you the wolf shifters you’ve been wishing of for Christmas in this action-packed paranormal holiday romance!


It’s almost Christmas, and Florida gray wolf shifter and veterinarian Gabrielle Lowe has been talked into going with her friends to a ski resort in Silver Town, Colorado. But when her two jaguar girlfriends are held up on a mission, it not only leaves Gabrielle alone for the holidays, but also out of her element at the snowy resort. Determined to make the best of it, Gabrielle takes a dip in the lodge’s heated pool—after it’s closed, of course…


Gray wolf shifter Landon Wolff is part owner of the ski lodge and he’s got enough on his plate getting ready for the annual influx of Christmas visitors. The last thing he needs is a rebel, indulging in a midnight swim long after the pool is closed. Just as he’s about to throw the rule breaker out of the pool he realizes that Gabby is also a wolf. Suddenly, all the rules change… Maybe Landon will finally find the wolf he’s always wanted to share the holidays with.

I think I’m going to write Kayla Wolff’s story next–not sure what I’m going to do, so I’ve been mulling over ideas first!

I have to ship 2 bears this morning and then off to see gingerbread houses and door decorations at the ISD where my daughter works.

Amethyst Bear
Starbright Midnight Delight

I’m off to ship bears! Have a humdinger of a day!

Bird Gone Fishing–Photo Art

Dec5
Fishing

I created the picture with Foxey Squirrels elements and background.

I redid all the print book covers for the demon series and they’re all available now. I finished working on a White Bear Series, book 3 novel, though it will be a while before I get to writing it. Sometimes having a cover gives me an idea. Now I want to redo the first two covers typography so they’re more uniform. 🙂

Right now I’m working on Bear in Mind, Grizzly Bear series, though if I get stuck, no telling what I’ll write on next. With all the bear orders I’m getting–I have another large Starbright Midnight Delight bear I’m working on for an order, and another Amethyst bear that I received an order for–that I need to concentrate on them because they’re Christmas presents and I want to make sure they get them in time.

I’ve promised for years to write the last book–Emerald Isle of Mists in the Magic of Inherian series and so it’s started, but not sure where to go with it. I think I have 2,000 words on it. I have 22,000 words on Bear in Mind. I wish the stories would just pop into my head and just fly through my fingertips and there, I have it! But it doesn’t work that way. I have to think! 🙂

Okay, I’m off to feed the ravenous dogs!

Have a super fun day!!!

More Bears!

Dec4

The Blue and Pink Powder Puff bears need homes. The Rainbow and Amethyst Bears are SOLD. 🙂

I finished all 4 of these yesterday. Now the sold bears and another bear need their paws embroidered.

Shipping cost has gone way up since October, but I’m not charging for it. Hopefully, it will go back down in January–like they said it would. Even shipping a book costs $2.00 more per book in the US. It’s awful. And prohibitive to send Overseas. Even shipping to Canada is outrageous! I shipped an audiobook to a fan before this surcharge went into place and it was astronomical! I’ll have to send books in January, hoping that it will have gone back down in price.

Hope you all have a great day! I’m off to revise the print versions of the demon guardian series. I just had to get these bears done first.

You’re Never Too Young to Learn–Or Too Old!

Dec3

Teaching little one to hand sew a bear. Just so you all know, I put the needle in where I need it and she pulls it out the rest of the way. She was also helping me to tighten the bolt and nut joints on the jointed arms and legs, and stuffing them. She LOVES helping me to put things together where she can tighten bolts and nuts and such. A lot of the bear work is done on the machine, but then certain parts need to be hand sewn. This is an ear that I need to sew the end of before it is hand sewn on the head. 🙂❤

I learned how to do all this on my own because my mother didn’t care to sew. She had a lousy Kenmore machine that constantly messed up any sewing she attempted, so it was understandable. When I was in home economics in junior high, I learned to sew on a Singer and I was sold. But way before that, I was hooking rugs, and embroidering pictures. I loved creating handcrafted works of art like that. Eventually, I began creating the bears. Before that, I made dolls and bunnies.

No photo description available.

Working on 4 little bears here. Two are for bear orders–the rainbow and the amethyst. The pink and the blue will have to find homes next!

I’m off to ship autographed books to my friend who sends them to troops Overseas during the holidays. And I have a birthday bear I need to ship today and sending two of the first book in the wolf series to get them started!

Hope you all have a fun day!!!!

Wearing a Crown Can Be a Pain!

Dec2

Okay, not in the royal way, but in the tooth way. 🙂 But I guess it can be a pain in a royal way too!

I was in PAIN all day. From 1 to 10, I’d give it a 100. I took tylenol, then advil and finally late last night, the pain eased. I have a mild ache this morning. But in 3 weeks I’ll have to endure it all over again. My original crown sheered off, soooooo it had to be done. I just have a temporary on right now.

I finished the little Greek bear and the Starbright Midnight Delight large bear.

I have two more bears to make. My sewing room looks like a whirlwind swept through it while I was looking for components and materials and patterns to use as a basis for the Greek outfit and now when I go to put it all away, I am organizing it better!!!!

My granddaughter is late coming here from the dentist. I’m sure her appointment will be a great one! And painless!

I’m contracting for 3 more books: Wolff Bros Sisters (I know, right? My editor insisted the series was called Wolff Bros, though they 2 bros have 2 sisters)–so everyone wanted the two sisters’ stories next. One will be early in the year 2022 and the other January of 2023, and then the Christmas one for 2022 will be Highland wolf book. She didn’t want a jaguar one so I’ll write a jaguar novella also sometime next year.

I’m off to cut out the last bear. The other I’ve started to sew.

Have a super fine day! I’ve got more bears to play with!

Pumpkin Bear is Off to Her Forever Home!

Nov23

Not getting a whole lot done, but we’re having fun. We went to a 4D Theater yesterday to watch the new Ghostbuster movie. That was really fun. None of us have done that before. The seats move, stuff felt like it was hitting us, air and mist blows on you. It was a wild ride and the movie was great too!

We put up the Christmas tree but we’re still decorated for Thanksgiving and will put all that away after the dinner on Thursday. We’re going out for dinner tonight and to see Christmas lights.

It turned cold and it’s supposed to rain all day on Thanksgiving, but we’ll be making a dinner and will be enjoying family, board games, so that works for us!

Have a super fun day!!!

Wild Thing Bear!

Nov19

Another hectic day!

I did get the print cover for Angel Fae done and Wild Thing–You Make My Heart Sing is done! So she’ll be shipped today hopefully. I had hoped to finish 2 more last night, but I had little one all day and I was trying to make the cover for the print version of Angel Fae and get it ready to publish.

Hope you all have a great Friday! I’m off to be a wild thing! In my books.

Have fun!

Starbright Midnight Delight

Nov16

A new bear fur. I haven’t sold this 10 1/2″ bear yet, but I did sell a big 19″ version of her that I need to make up!

I’m off to find out how much it will cost to ship a bear to Glasgow and run some other errands. I bought some lights at Walmart and I need a couple of more strings. Doing something different this year since I don’t put lights on my house and it looks a little forlorn. 🙂

Working on edits today on Angel Fae and hope to begin proofing it today and tomorrow.

Have a great day!
