Redheaded Woodpecker and the Dragonfly

Mar11

I was playing around with a couple of my photos and changed out the backdrop. I love this woodpecker, but I rarely see it, so I got lucky. I love dragonflies, heroes of the garden.

So I’m still sick. I had to send in a bunch of artwork for a project so did that all day yesterday. I was supposed to go with the kids and grandkids to Austin and the Ren Faire and to a haunted cave the next day, but I still have the worst sore throat and constant cough all day and night long. I really wanted to go too. Wish I’d get over this.

I’ll spend the weekend trying to catch up on word count on Highland Wolf and proof Bear in Mind and update Demon Hunter and read over another book to add a Mardi Gras reference, and….I don’t think I can manage all that in one weekend. lol And try to get more rest.

But I’m about to upload Demon Hunter so that will be one thing off my plate.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!!! I’m off to gargle saltwater. They say it works! We’ll see.

Bird’s Nest in the Yard

Mar8

Don’t worry, it wasn’t from recently, and I think it was old, but still, I think of all the work that went into it as the birds made it and there it is, ready for me to photograph and have fun with it.

Well, I can’t seem to get over this cold. My daughter wants me to go in and have a strep throat test because my granddaughter recently had it. I had an ear infection, so I was on antibiotics and figured I was safe. But then I had a sore throat again. I really think it’s a bad cold, but it doesn’t hurt to check it out since I’m coughing all night again. I was getting better. 🙁

I managed to get 600 words on Vampire and I think about 500 on Highland Wolf. I didn’t do as much as I wanted but I was trying to get other things done–a special picture for a special reason. Resolve the trellis issue, the tax issue, and had to fill out a bunch of tax forms. Plus, taking care of baby all day. He is so funny. He brings me a book, then backs himself up to me and says, “Lap.” I’m getting tons of lifting exercises because he has me read about 15 books per day to him. I still have laryngitis but it’s getting better.

Okay, off to send in my picture and create another I had in mind. I use my own main photo, mostly of animals, this one of wolves play fighting this time, and artify them.

Have a beautiful day! I’ve got to get the dogs out and then get to writing. No more goofing off!

On a Roll

Mar6

I think I have my new story start for Highland Wolf. I managed to get 3,000 words on the new Highland story. I think actually 4,000 but I need to type up my notes from last night. I need 10K a week.

So I’m trying to get caught up this morning. Was awake for hours coughing and then woke late. I need to get up by 6 to get all my chores done before baby gets here. I hadn’t put the trash out yet, so I took my grandson out to help me do an Easter egg hunt with pine cones and we picked them all up and put them in the trash. He really loved it. We’re going to take a walk around the block and get the mail, grocery shopping, and maybe an oil change.

I gave him Keira’s cute pink cup with milk in it for breakfast and he kept telling me it was Keira’s cup. *sigh* She’s really too old for a sippy cup, so I changed it out to his cup.

Okay, so I’m off to get ready for a walk and when he takes a nap, I’m working on the story! Still working on Bite of the Vampire also. Reached 40K on it yesterday.

Have a chimp of a day.

Another Great Review–Fresh Fiction!

Feb9

WOLF TAKES THE LEAD is the perfect mix of paranormal romcom fun and pitch perfect suspense. Although this book is part of a series, I think readers unfamiliar with the previous books can still enjoy it as a standalone. Characters from previous books are interspersed in WOLF TAKES THE LEAD, but they don’t crowd it or distract from the central romance or action. I look forward to Terry Spear’s next paranormal romance.

I’m on chapter 10, proofing of Bear in Mind. My publisher wants the marketing materials for Roxie Wolff’s story, Run with the Wolf. I always tell myself I need to write them when the story is fresh in my mind. lol Sometimes I do, but often not. I have to reread the story to do the long synopsis. I’ve been editing other books since then.

Hoping to get somewhere on taxes too. But first, the dogs are waiting for me to feed them, and the birds too. I walked out when a little hairy woodpecker was on the feeder yesterday. Love them. They’re so cute.

I’m off to work. Have a stupendous day!

Thanks so much, Annetta!

Well, it’s not going to rain all day like they said. I should be able to pick up my bark mulch and tiny pebbles this morning as soon as they are open for curbside service. I have only done this once and it really was great since I have trouble lifting the bags of rocks. Getting someone to do it for you is pretty hard to do. They certainly don’t offer, even if they’re standing around doing nothing. I need to put the pebbles underneath the pavers that frame my flowerbeds as they sink under the earth when I add mulches and flowers.

So I was working really hard on my taxes last night, and I DON’T know what happened, but somehow I zeroed out my expenses last night. Thankfully, I had saved at an earlier point, but not late enough. I had worked hours on it. ugh. I couldn’t do the undo typing. It was just grayed out. So without kid interruptions today, though I will have lunch with my granddaughter at school and pick her up after school, I am going to try and redo that.

I’m nearly finished Bear in Mind. I did some edits last night and I still want something more at the end. Not much, but just a final comment or two. And then I can start reading all the way through. Or maybe I’ll start reading from the beginning anyway and when I reach the end, I’ll know what I need to say. Sometimes it works like that.

I need to feed the ravenous dogs and birds and get back to the dreaded taxes. Have a fun, fun day!

Mohair Teddy Bears and Wolves

Feb1

The best of both worlds.

Thanks to Lola for sharing her picture with me. This is a mohair bear I made and of course the first book in the Heart of the Wolf series.

I have Girl Scouts this afternoon with my granddaughter. It’s been so cold out. I know that this is winter, but… I managed to get 500 words on Bear in Mind yesterday. My son-in-law had to work late and so when he came to get the kids, we all went out to dinner, which was super nice.

I’ll try to get at least 1,000 words tomorrow. I’m close to the end, but just still trying to figure out how to end it. Sometimes, I have the end way before the end. Sometimes, like this time, I’m still working at figuring it out. lol I also finished the bears, but need to embroider the paws on the two for the order.

Off to get to work!

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Review from Kim Roller at Fresh Fiction!

“An accidental injury leads to a Christmas Wolf Surprise”

Ms. Spear continues her wonderful wolf shifter series with a holiday-themed book that has a happy ever after. CHRISTMAS WOLF SURPRISEis a must-read for Spear fans and brings back some characters you got to know and love and new ones who will tug at your heart. This reader couldn’t put it down and was sad to see the story come to an end.

***

We had 10 1/2″ of rain yesterday. I finished the author interview and turned it in. I made 5 partially completed bears. Some need their ears sewn on, all need noses, and two need to have their paws embroidered for an order, but they’re getting there. I wrote a 1,000 words on Bear in Mind. It’s at 66,000. Woohoo! I’m shooting for 70K, but just writing the final scenes and then the fun starts. I edit all along to figure out what details need to be added, etc. But when the book is finally written, the fun part is reading it all the way through to see what needs to be fixed further. But it’s done, a story from beginning to end. And that’s what I love.

Baby will be here today. We’re supposed to get rain from 7-10 this morning, in the evening, and pretty much all day tomorrow and the same for Wednesday.

Okay, I’m off to work on something before the baby arrives. Did all my chores, so hoping to get a little reading in and then maybe work on the bears or the story when he takes his nap.

Have a fufilling day!

Wolf on the Wild Side–Audio Book Coming Too!

Jan28

Coming June 6! But also, just sold the audio book rights so it will be out in audio book also. Woohoo!

USA Today bestselling author Terry Spear combines billionaire and shifter romance in a sexy, action-packed paranormal love story with a dash of fake dating.

Billionaire wolf Derek Spencer may have a rocky history with she-wolves, but there’s no one better to take as his date to the latest gala than the wolf he’s had his eye on ever since she applied to be his bodyguard—the remarkable Kate Hanover. Kate checks all the boxes for his perfect mate: she’s smart, sexy, and business savvy, not to mention one of the best bodyguards around.

But ever since Derek gave his bodyguard position to another wolf, Kate has been avoiding him. It’s only when she reluctantly agrees to be his date to the gala that she realizes why: the attraction between the two alpha wolves is undeniable, but Kate doesn’t want to end up as one of the billionaire’s many flings. The more time Kate and Derek spend together, the more they are in danger…of falling deeply in love.

Praise for the Billionaire Wolf series:

“Heart racing action [and] plenty of love and steamy moments.” —Fresh Fiction for Billionaire in Wolf’s Clothing

“A satisfying shape-shifter romantic adventure.” —Kirkus Reviews for A Billionaire Wolf for Christmas

“Spear delivers a layered suspense story.” —Library Journal for Night of the Billionaire Wolf

Okay, so I am still working on Bear in Mind, need to finish up two bears this weekend, and the author interview. It’s going to be warmer today. The low is 57 which was our high yesterday. We’re supposed to get up to 68 and have rain today.

I’m off to feed the dogs and get to work. Have a wonderful day! 🙂

Brrr, It’s Cold Out There!

Jan27

It’s still cold–33 for us this morning. I have to remind myself it’s winter, despite having 80+ days in December and January!

My granddaughter gets to go to a 70’s themed Get the Groove on dance with her daddy tonight. That is the cutest!

We’re supposed to have rain starting Saturday and all week. I need to get outdoor stuff done today, but I’m diligently re-reading all of Bear in Mind and getting closer to word count and the end. I’m at 63K, shooting for 70K.

I’m off to get my tea. My newest favorite (love English Breakfast, Highland Heather, Lavender teas) is Maple Espresso. It’s maple black tea. Yum.

Okay, I’m off to get more of my day started. The dogs want FOOD now, or before, if they could have had it and I’ve got to go out with them in the wintry cold too.

Have a wonderful day! Enjoying mine before we get socked in with storms!

Will the wave reach them? Or not?

I’m working on an author interview, so off to finish it up. I reached 62k on Bear in Mind yesterday.

It’s very cold today–36 degrees for us. Flowers are beginning to bloom!

I’m off to get my work done. Still fighting this cold after 2 1/2 weeks. Ugh.

Hope you all have a delightful day!
