Note there are other specks of stars surrounding the moon and North Star. The sky is filled with stars this morning and I tried to capture them with my camera but it’s only showing blackness. But I loved seeing the Dippers in the early morning darkness. Ever go star gazing?
What do you see?

Deborah shared this really cool picture she created with digital scrapbooking with me on Facebook, and I asked if she would like to share it on my blog. Isn’t it great??? I had never heard of such a thing, but it looks like lots of fun. So if you have any interest in it, there is a link for the group she belongs to and you can find out all kinds of ways to create your own digital scrapbooks!!!
I’m a member of Daisy Trail Scrapbooking http://www.daisytrail.com/ and did this image, just for fun. I enlarged the leaves around the edge of the image, as I wanted it to appear as though we were peeking in upon the scene. Everything I have used in the image is free and was found on the internet. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much to Deborah for sharing this with us. I probably won’t have time to do anything like this, but it sure would be fun. 🙂

Even vampire bears! All my stories have humor in them, vampire romantic suspense included. So why not a vampire with a fancy coffin, just for Halloween?
Not that my vampires ever sleep in coffins, mind you. They are not the undead. I leave that to zombies, which are not in my stories. They have heartbeats, eat and drink (a little blood too), and have hot bodies. I just couldn’t imagine a non-vampire getting hot for a cold dead thing, so my vampires are living, breathing humans that were changed by the Black Plague, just as some humans were who became hunters of the vampires. They have the same strength, but not the bloodlust.
In any event, the playing field is well-matched that way.
Speaking of bloodsuckers, one was trying to bite me the other night. A bloodthirsty female mosquito. I was trying to write on Guthrie’s story, and she landed on my wrist to take a sip. My vampire hunting genes took hold, and I tried to kill her. I think I missed. But she didn’t come back for another slurp. *sigh*
I guess my hunter skills are a little rusty. Need to work on that.
Than I was outside watering and ran into him! Never seen one here before. Just the little tiny lizards that run all over my house. Inside and out. This is a Texas spiny lizard. Okay, so I have lizards on the brain. Right? I’ve had them crawl up my pants leg when I’ve been writing, scurry across my feet, just all kinds of things.
So I’ve settled down to write after I finish watering and I’m working away, it’s getting late and something crawls up my leg. Natural reaction: brush it off and then look to see what it was. Cricket maybe? Been finding a bunch of them in the house–dead. Good.
But I’m thinking one of the little lizards. It’s getting really late and need to go to bed. So shut things down and start walking to the bedroom and feel something rough between the sole of my foot and my flipflop. I kick it off and off runs a scorpion. Now deceased.
I can’t believe he crawled up my leg, I brushed him off AND he somehow got between my foot and my flipflop as I was walking and I DIDN’T get stung. When I lived in Oklahoma, I was stung a number of times. HATE those things.
They are way scarier than vampires.
Okay, I am EVERYWHERE today with giveaways:
And one other place, but not posted. Will try to update later when it is. 🙂
I have audiobook review copies of the following: The Accidental Highland Hero, Highland Rake, Taming the Wild Highland, Bound by Danger, The Dark Fae (teen), Kiss of the Vampire (teen), The Deadly Fae (teen). The caveat is that you haven’t received a free book before through audible. But if you haven’t and you’d like one, it’s yours!

I know it’s early but, I like to do some things early!!! I want you to know I worked a long time to do this. 🙂 Just for you. The growly pumpkin was made by my dad and painted by my mother. I made the wizard bear, and no it’s not a build a bear. Unless you consider building it from scratch. 🙂
But I hope you like it as much as I had fun creating it! Happy Halloween, early!!

If I don’t have to go anywhere, I love fog.
It reminds me of “The Fog.” Or any other creepy foggy story where who knows what lurks in it.
It reminds me of Halloween.
It usually means the heat is mixing with a cold front for our area, and that’s even better. This fog was even thicker earlier and I finally remembered to take my camera out and take a picture of it. 🙂
What about you? Do you like fog if you don’t have to drive in it?
Also, asked to offer an excerpt of my current WIP, A Highland Wolf Christmas and with that a giveaway, so giving away an ebook copy of Huntress for Hire to one lucky commenter at Lady Scribes! Just click on Huntress for Hire and see all the fabulous giveaways! And comment!
Happy TGIF!!!

I’ve had fun with this YA series, starting with Alana Fainot in The Trouble with Demons–they’re kind of like The Trouble with Tribbles, if you know what I mean, except some are really nasty.
But the teens are a mix of demon heritage and human, and trying to find their place in the world. Just like any of us might. Only their teen problems are much more… deadly.
I just signed a narrator to narrate the second book in the series. The first is halfway narrated, and I found a really cool/hot, since the guy is hot and standing in flames, third book to the series. I will probably call it Demon Hunter.
My computer is working and everything is right with the world!!! Which means I have no excuse at all to not make word count by Sunday. 🙂

You thought I skipped Halloween, didn’t you? With releasing A SEAL Wolf Christmas early!!!
But I love all things that go bump in the night.
So here is a fun and easy treat to make for that Halloween night of spooky movies. Black olives cut up to look like spiders on deviled eggs! And then you can curl up with a nice Vampire romance. 🙂
She has her sights set on the worst vampire of them all…
or two…
Have a wonderful Tuesday!
I’m off to make some deviled eggs… topped with a few spiders. Yum.

I love the smell of rain as it “oxygenates” the air. It greens up the poor plants that have been suffering in the heat. It revives them. And it revives me. The storms, the thunder, the lightning… the rain.
I wanted to curl up and write on one of my vampire books, but my taskmaster said no. I had to stick to A Highland Wolf Christmas. But there it’s snowing in the Highlands. I wanted to write about dark and stormy weather and… vampires.
So the rain is gone now…
And I’ve just offered The Highlander, the medieval Highland romance on Kobo for preorders. The book will come out on Oct 21. http://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/ebook/the-highlander-5
So next time it rains, I’m going to pull out that vampire mss and get to work. 🙂
Have a super great Monday!

I have only the one elf book out at this time, started the second one, and found covers I loved for 3 more. 🙂 So I made up a book mark, to remind myself I need to write them.
On the Highland ones, I do have all the books either available for sale, or as in the last one The Highlander, I’ll be publishing it Oct 21. Preorders at B&N, Kobo, and Smashwords available before that.
I’m still rereading it now, so off to work!!!
Have a super lovely, Sunday!!
