A Glimpse of the Making the Cover for A SEAL in Wolf's Clothing!




Here's another great picture! A SEAL in dog tags checking out the chalkboard and the equations needed to determine the clues in the case in A SEAL in Wolf's Clothing. Well, actually, he's looking at the ceiling, his thoughts shifting through tons of different scenarios before he begins to make notes on the board again.  Was this scene in the book? No. Just the man, Finn, and the gorgeous body. :)

Here's another video of Todd, flexing his Highland muscles and a little of how A SEAL in Wolf's Clothing's cover was worked up!

 Have a super great Sunday!

I'm off to write...I meant to have a lot more written and my newsletter off, but I did other stuff on my day off, and I still am ahead of schedule. But that can change in a heartbeat!

Never put off, you know!

Have fun!!!

Okay, I'm off to a hectic day of work, but I had to share this with you! Here's Todd, the cover model for A Howl for a Highlander and Savage Hunger along with models for other books as they had the photo shoot. You'll see Duncan MacNeill in action!

Indiana Jones and the Jaguar



What if Indiana Jones was running around in the jungle and he ran into Connor?  As a jaguar? Now, jaguars are territorial. But would Connor mind that Indy was in HIS territory? As long as Indy was after the bad guys, not at all. If Indy had it in mind to rescue Kathleen? That's a different story. Then Connor would be one hot cat, you know, Savage Hunger.


Here's Connor eying Indiana Jones. Indy might be a hero in some jungles, but in the Amazon, Connor's a god.

And The Winged Fae is up on Amazon now in print format!

But right now, I'm waiting for the bug man to come. I'd have to have some kind of big-time bug exterminator with me if I was running around in the jungle!

And then it's off to the PO with books, and I've got to get groceries. If I try to wing it, I'll buy whatever I don't need, and forget everything I do need...so MUST write list. What about you??? Do you remember everything you need without a list? Write a list and forget it? Or are you really organized and take the list with you, then buy everything that's not on the list anyway?

Have a super great Friday!!!

Waterfalls and Savage Hunger


Jaguars love the water! In Savage Hunger, a waterfall is important to the story....hmmm, yes!!!

We had a terrific storm in the middle of the night. Lightning, thunder, torrential rains. I loved it! The electricity went out at least once. But the heavy rains mean I don't have to water tomorrow. A good soaker will be so much better for the landscape than my piddly attempt at watering too.

I was hoping the rain might have washed in a jaguar hunk...but no such luck...

Last night I watched Gone set in Portland, Oregon and featuring Forest Park. I set some of my story, Seduced by the Wolf, in Forest Park, so it was fun seeing it again and thinking about my wolves running there. They could have taken out the bad guy! And the girl wouldn't have had to take care of the creep by herself.

Seeing Forest Park made me want to return to the great Northwest, to enjoy the beautiful forests, rivers, the Oregon beaches. It looked rainy and cold, just like I loved it!

So last night, I got some of their rain, and I was in Oregon again. For just a little while.

Now, I just need the big cat and the waterfall...or a wet Leidolf. Remember when  he went swimming in the raw in the lake???

THE END--Savage Hunger!!!

 

Editing is a not like this. Truly.
Well, a little bit like this. I just finished final line edits for Savage Hunger. It was easy. Final line edits are the final read through and it's lots of fun reading the finished book. But when I got home, the edits I made on the PDF file turned into Chinese. Really. My kids read Japanese, so even they wouldn't have had a clue with this...


Luckily most of the edit changes I had made on a separate piece of paper. And I didn't have to go through too much of the highlighted notes to say what I needed to...the main thing was reading the whole book through and trying to catch any mistakes. :)

It was fun revisiting the jungle in Savage Hunger. Here is Connor fishing for their dinner...the scene I wrote about in the story, I described from a video I watched of a real jaguar fishing for his dinner. :)



And here is Maya sneaking up on a bad guy. You really don't want to get on a jaguar shifter's bad side.

This is what Connor's sister, Maya, wants. A family. A sister. To be an aunty. Well...she aims to make it happen, and Kathleen is about to experience one big shift in her life.

You don't need to feel sorry for Kat though. If everything works out and they make it out of the jungle alive...she's got one big hunk of a jaguar to love! And a fun-loving sister to boot!

Back to working on a SEAL Wolf Christmas.

The library has turned into a zoo. I hope that they got caught up last night because I don't want to EVEN see what the workload looks like today....

Have a SUPER hump day! And think BIG kitty-cat loving!

Have a Dreamy Monday!



Usually I'm not into beards, except when it comes to historical type figures and then, they're mine. The men that wear them, that is!

Some men wear them well. Some don't. He definitely does. But then, it might also have something to do with the rest of him. What do you mean you didn't notice he HAD a beard???

I think every Monday should start like this. :)

Today I'm talking about why I self-publish books at Eliza Knight's For the Love of Books! Thanks, Eliza, for having me!

I'm off to write some more on SEAL Wolf Christmas. I had a real writing spurt...so instead of only getting 10,000 done, I have 17,000 done! So I want to keep up the momentum!

Whoops, I meant to mention that everyone who commented on my birthday blog is a winner. Think of it as a party favor. So send me your addresses in an email, tell me which book you want, and your wish is my command! You have to have commented by Sunday! Thanks!!!

It'll take me a little while to get them off with working full time, but they'll be sent off!!

Happy Monday, everyone!!!

A Howl for a Highlander....


In A Howl for a Highlander, coming in Feb, Duncan MacNeill is enjoying the aqua waters in the Caribbean...but he is concerned for the heroine when she wants to swim at night. Shark-feeding time, you know.

Being his Highland warrior self, he's not about to let her swim alone, particularly after he sees how little she's wearing. He's a wolf after all!

Hope you all are enjoying the first days of June! I'm off to write.

Behave yourselves, or not....I think Bjornolf's ready to misbehave with Anna, but she's not buying it. :)

Have fun on this Saturday!!!

Happy TGIF--Give Your Wolf Pack a Hug!

Wolf packs have to do with taking care of their pups. Here's a man who's doing just that!
And here's the rest of the pack celebrating with me for my birthday!

And well, this is how the pack all begins. First there's nuzzling, dreamy-eyed looks, and the next thing you know....

Cuddle time! You've got a pack!
Happy TGIF!!!!

I had terrible nightmares this morning...was late for work, couldn't find keys, finally got into a car--one button made the car go a zillion miles a minute like hyperspeed and I couldn't see anything but a big blur. Then the vehicle crashed.

And I was back home looking for another vehicle to take to work. I woke up this morning not sure if if this was my day off yet or not. It wasn't. :)

So I'm running late. *sigh*

Have a super Friday!!!
