Fall Colors and Jacques Le Jester Bear

Pear Fall Leaves

I was getting ready to have dinner when I saw the pear tree in fall colors. I had to stop what I was doing and run out with the camera. We don't get much in the line of fall colors here, so I was excited. :) And I'm working on a jester bear for a possible order. An earlier one I made won first place for Best Dressed Bear.

Pears still clinging to the tree, frozen, defrosted, still clinging.

Texas Sunset for Fall

And I've finished proofing the print copy of Call of the Cougar, so off to work on Phantom Fae!
Have a lovely Tuesday!

St Croix/Taylors Falls Riverboat Ride

Bigfoot fishing

At a restaurant after the trip.

Fireman rescue practice over St Croix

They just happened to be doing a firemen practice, rescuing over the river.

wildflowers at lookout over St Croix

Beautiful fall flowers and fall foliage all over.

Colorful canoeists and fall colors on the St Croix

Loved the colorful canoeists that matched the fall colors on the hillside.  In Jaguar Hunt, I mentioned the characters wearing colorful life vests and their colorful kayaks while they were on the rapids in Belize, so this reminded me of it.

A boater and his dogs

Cory, who was the wolf biologist at The International Wolf Center, said he tried to take his 3 big dogs canoeing, but they hadn’t learned to not move around –all to one side of the craft.

Taylors Falls Queen

This looked just like our boat before boarding.

Taylors Falls Princess–the boat we were on

We were wandering up on the cliffs before boarding.

Up on the cliffs, the steps down to the rocks and the boat

Before the trip

I was wearing 6 layers of clothes here. I stood out on the boat for the nearly 2 hour trip? It was cold, but I had to take pictures. Took some from inside, but too much reflection. It was very cold!

Donna on the boat at end of trip

Donna, my tour guide and a terrific trooper.

After the trip and before we left the boat

I did wear a hat the whole time I was outside. Very cold!

Tomorrow–A Highland Wolf Christmas releases!!!

A Highland Wolf Christmas (Book 15)
(OCT 7, 2014)

B&N

It’s going to take a lot of mistletoe…
Guthrie MacNeill, financial advisor for his clan and werewolf pack, is at his wit’s end when the pack leader’s mate hires a gorgeous party planner to bring holiday cheer to the castle. Guthrie’s wildly attracted to Calla, except he can’t reconcile the fact that his job is to save the clan’s money, and hers seems to be to spend it.
To warm this Highlander’s heart
Calla Stewart has never had a more difficult client. The laird and lady of the castle are delightful, but the handsome Highlander holding the purse strings is quite impossible. Since she specializes in holiday magic, Calla hopes she can make the scrooge-like wolf lighten up. Then Guthrie takes on the role of Highland warrior to protect her from an unexpected threat, and the holidays take a turn for the passionate.
Praise for A Highland Werewolf Wedding:
“Sultry, sexy and satisfying.” -Long and Short Reviews
“Will leave readers longing for a Highlander of their own.” -Romance Junkies
Seeing more wolves today! Hopefully the weather will cooperate. Supposed to have a bonfire. :)

The International Wolf Center

So after having all this fun, what do you think I will do? Set a book here, of course! Have a super great Monday!!!

Okay, I’m back to typing up notes and will try to post tomorrow again. Meant to yesterday, but just didn’t have time. We had a lovely signing. One of my fans actually called the store from NY and ordered 6 of the books, so I autographed them for her and they’re shipping them out.

Her Highland Hero
Lady Isobel is a Norman laird’s daughter, living near the Scots border where her father, Lord Pembroke, is trying to keep the peace. But her mother was a Highlander and the man Isobel loves most of all is Laird Marcus McEwan, who has been bringing news of her mother’s people for years. But now Isobel’s father wishes her wed to an English nobleman, who will carry on his title. Isobel will wed no other man but her heart’s desire—and that is one braw Highlander from her mother’s homeland.
Laird Marcus McEwan has loved the feisty lass forever. For years, Marcus has tried to convince Lord Pembroke to allow him to wed his daughter. But the Norman lord will not allow it. Then ambushes and murders make it too dangerous for Marcus to reach a peaceful resolution.
Nothing goes as planned and keeping the lass for his own is fraught with danger, as they try to determine who was behind the killings. Isobel and Marcus will do everything in their power to ensure they are together as they have always vowed they would be.

Audiobook will be coming, and print is coming soon.

This will be my first time at hosting a a Facebook Party. After this one, I’ll be doing one for A Hero of a Highland Wolf. Different genre, and I hope to get some shifters, I mean, shifter writers, to join me on that. :)
In the meantime, I’m working on Call of the Cougar, reached 15,000. Shooting for 20K by Sunday night. :)
Have a great Saturday!

Back to writing!
