There are several twists and turns in the danger points of MATED FOR CHRISTMAS that will give readers that edge-of-your-seat feel. The characters in this book are very realistic and you could find that they might even remind you of people you know, and others are ones you are glad you don’t know.
It’s hard to imagine what it would look like in the empty chambers, so the picture at the right shows castle life. At least for the noble folks, it’s not too bad. As you can see, the stairs are narrow and steep throughout the castle. These have been redone. I have to find the ones that they looked like originally! They were difficult to walk on.
Off to feed my dogs and the birds and get my tea and get to work on Highland Wolf. That’s my castle life.
Have a grand day!!

Midhope Castle, West Lothian, Scotland. I just love old castles.
It’s the real-life location of Lallybroch, the ancestral home of Jamie Fraser in the Outlander series.
A family actually lives here, which is why it is kept up so nicely.
My birds haven’t come back after I starved them for two weeks. The squirrels are back though. It doesn’t take long for them to figure out there’s a handout for them. It was so nice and cool this morning, I was out weeding. I hope it continues to be cool in the morning so I can keep after it.
I’m off to work on the two stories I’m finishing up that I wrote scenes for on the plane coming and going and I need to work on my website pages some more.
Have a super fun day!!!

I took the photo of the goat in Brenham, Texas. It looked like the wind had caught his ear and covered his eye, or he was camera shy.
So I have spent several days reworking my author website. It’s still a work in progress. I need to work on ALL the book pages, but I was trying to set up the new landing page. It doesn’t look like another blog now. I still need to add a page for one of the categories of books so I can link to it and set up the printable page link for the book list. Unfortunately, when I began with a different setup, it kept posting automatically with all the changes to the world. With this one, they didn’t until I was ready and then I could just update it as I went along to see if everything was working. It’s supposed to be easy, and for the most part it was, but I managed to “break” things a few times.
I’m also proofing Highland Wolf. Off to work!
Hope you’re having a great ear day!

When you’re always looked down on, it must be nice being on top of the world. Goat in Okinawa at a botanical gardens.
I’m off to proof. I’m nearly done with edits, have grandparents’ lunch day with my granddaughter today, but otherwise, hope to finish up Highland Wolf today. We had an inch of rain yesterday, yahoo!
Hope you sit up above the world today.

They had goats like this eating down the prolific vegetation in Okinawa. Isn’t he cute?
I managed to work on the Highland books yesterday, only 11K left to write on Highland Forest Nymph, finally settled on a title. The working title for years has been The Nymph of the Woods, but it was an English Medieval and it was done. But I never published it. To fit in with my Highland Medieval series, rather than have a single title floating out there, I’ve rewritten it to be Scottish. And she is in the Caledonian Forest of Scotland, so my brainstorming partner said it should be Forest instead of Woods. Now I just have to train my brain to see the title anew. lol I’ve been writing on this for about 15 years–wrote it in a few months and been revising it to fit the new story line for years. And it’s nearly done! Best of all, I love the way it’s been rewritten. And I worked on beta readers’ edits on Highland Wolf and am nearly done with those. So I will try and finish those up today and begin proofing.
Little one will be here any moment now, so off I go to get ready for him.
Have a beautiful day!

I was bringing my granddaughter home from school and saw this huge bird swooping down, missing his prey and then he landed on the lamp post. I was so excited, pulled over before I went into my driveway to capture a couple of shots with my phone. I ran into the house to grab my camera to take some better shots, but he was gone.
They would sit on my fence occasionally, coming after the birds on my feeders, you know, kind of a smorgasbord situation, but I have so many tall shrubs and trees now, they’re more protected.
I’m off to write! It is only going to be about 84–which will be about 94 heat index wise, but that’s better than 112!
Have a fun day!!!

I want one of these for my backyard birds! I shot this in Brenham, Texas. They had a recycling water feature that the birds drank from and some bathed from. It was so fun to watch.
I’m still working on edits on Highland Wolf. It’s done, but I’m now rereading it. And then after I finish that, I’ll proof it and send it to my beta readers. Yay!
I’m off to work on it some more! Have a fun-filled day!

Took the photo of the cardinal in Brenham, Texas. He caught a glimpse of my camera lens peeking out of the blind.
I have little one here so we’re doing kid exercises, tried Bluey and that was too boring for him, so we have a monster one we’re doing, lol and then I’ll work with him on some preschool pages. I managed to make word count on Highland Wolf, woohoo, so next I’ll be proofing it.
Hope your day is super fine.
