Butterflies! & Faery Realms Party!

Tawny Emperor Butterfly

These butterflies love to eat rotting fruit. I have pears that they are enjoying. And here is the underside of the Tawny Emperor Butterfly! They say they’re very jumpy, so it’s hard to get close and take pictures, but it was cool out when the one was resting on my brick work. The other above might have been feasting on the fermenting pears and drunk.

Comma Butterfly

Loved the shadows he created! :)

And here I’m sharing all these butterfly pictures on Facebook, while I’m trying to identify them, and a friend saw this in the news about Monarch butterflies on the weather radar. Coincidence or something else? Too cool!

It seems the perfect place for the faeries!
Okay, I’m still working on Call of the Cougar. Have 2,000 words left to reach goal, though I’m a long way from the end. But I need to write a guest blog for the new release for Oct first.

We are trying to make a list--USA Today Bestseller/NY Times Bestseller. Believe me, it isn't easy. You have to really work at it, like you do at anything else.

I spent all day either at the FB party or promoting, and today, we've started Excerpt Wars and we're talking to some other successful box set list authors to dual promote.

So IF we make a list, it wasn't by waving a magic wand.

I did manage to finish these bears to ship today, and I do have to run errands, have lunch out and see a movie with a friend because she's leaving.

: Tinsel Bear Momma and Baby

: Christmas Tinsel Bear

And that's it for now! Have to get this posted and back to the war!!!

Have a lovely Thursday! It's stormy and beautiful out. Just perfect for vampires in Huntress for Hire to be out and about!

Finished! A Silver Wolf Christmas! And Tomorrow: Tall, Dark and Paranormal Releases!

There’s nothing more fun than finishing a book! Then after I finished reading it and sending it off to beta readers, it was time to cut out more bear orders. Received 4 more yesterday. Somehow, I don’t think I’m getting ahead of the game!

Steampunk and Rainbow Bears in Process

It’s amazing what a few hours will do–turn fur into fun creations. The two on the left are finished, though I still have to embroider all their paws. But the bears and outfits are made. And here they are! The other 4 are ready with their vests in their laps and their hats in progress. Have to make new style dresses for them. On the rainbow bears, the one is ready to be embroidered. The next needs a nose and he’s ready to be embroidered. The last needs a head, eyes, ears and a nose, and then he needs to be embroidered.

Steampunk Bear with Tapestry Vest–Sold!

If I was only making bears, I’d have them all done by now. But my day job…and night, is writing. So I do the bears AFTER I get my writing done. Or…like yesterday while I was working on rereading A Silver Wolf Christmas for the last time, I was working on the two Steampunk bear hats at the same time. I usually don’t do that, but they’re not furry, so I could. Fur in the keyboard probably wouldn’t help my writing. :)
So next project to finish up? Call of the Cougar. If I can figure out the ending, I’ll have it made! :)
But in the meantime, I did cut out another 5 bears and they’re now in process. :) I still have more to cut out for orders. Waiting on fabric for two of them.
Okay, off to write. Oh, AND, TOMORROW is release day for TALL, DARK and Paranormal!

Only 99 cents! Limited time offer!

I read Regency. I love it! But I don’t write it. Which is why I read it. I also love Highland stories, but only because I never see them written in the time period I write in. I don’t read werewolf books. After I wrote my first cougar book, I read a short novella that was supposed to be a cougar shifter book, but guess what? No one shifted. How can you call a book a shifter book if no one shifts???

One of the things we do as an author is make a pack with the reader. If I say it’s a wolf shifter book, I’d better show you some shifting. Into wolves! If I say it’s a medieval Highland book, I’d better show you some Highlanders in medieval times. And if I say it’s a vampire book…well, you know the drill–sharp teeth, hot and sexy (yes, my vampires are hot and sexy, not cold and dead) ….

Hope you all have a lovely Monday. I opened my blinds to get my morning blue light–remember: blue light is good for you, for your psyche, and it’s pitch black out. Somehow I will have to survive another hour or so with no blue light, orange light, or any other kind of light! Oh, yeah, I can turn on the overhead light, but what’s the fun in that?

Have a super great Monday!!! Tuesday is the big day!

Another Steampunk Bear Creation!

Many know I write wolf and jaguar shifters, but I wasn’t sure how well cougars would be received. Like with the exotic big cats, jaguars, and the wolves, with cougars, I do a ton of research to make the big cat shifters as realistic as possible based on their other animal half. I've been asked if I would write bear shifters. Anyone game? It would be much later, as I have so many have-to books to write.

Cougar’s Mate has been well loved and so Call of the Cougar will be out by December. Earlier, if I can manage. I’m trying to finish up A Silver Wolf Christmas revisions today, then tomorrow start working on the end of Call of the Cougar. It’s nearly done! Just needs another 15,000 words and an ending. That helps, you know.

And, I have one of the new Steampunk Bears completed–this one with a suede vest. All the ones I’m making now are sold. :But this shows the faux leather hat I created for this bear also, and I’m making more of the same hat for the rest.

Steampunk Bear with Suede Vest

But after I complete orders, I’ll be making a new one that will be for sale.

Off to work on A Silver Wolf Christmas and then turn it over to the next phase of the process.
And only 2 more days and Tall, Dark and Paranormal will be in your hot little hands!
