Baby Cupid Loves Bears, Too

Cupid Baby and blue bears (515x640)
Okay, having fun with photos, and spent a lot of time working on bears yesterday, but it’s time to get back to work–
I’ve got another party to go to!!! I never was invited to so many parties in my life! Isn’t this fun! I’ll be there from 4:30-4:45 EST! Just a real quick drop in. Hopefully I won’t miss my time! But you can drop in anytime to win prizes all day long!
I’m also at one on Tuesday, and I’ll post that then.
Need to catch up on word count. Have to write 5,324 words to make my goal today of 40,000 and I will be halfway done with the book!
And water.
Sooo looking forward to a break in the heat.

Not that it’s coming anytime soon, but I’m writing about making snowman in A Silver Wolf Christmas, then have to go out and water in the 100+ heat. That shows how much of an imagination you have to have to be a writer when you’re writing about seasonal books out of season!

Have a super Sunday!! I’m sure I have something important to do on Monday, but I have no idea what. Ever do that???  Oh, yeah, starting to teach my online Conflict! Conflict! Conflict! workshop.
LOL
Have a super great day!!

Fun with Fans & Their Pictures! Last Day of Blog Tour, 10 hours and Counting!

Terree Nelson Lyman dressed in jaguar print copy
Terree and her friend, Nyola, dressed up in jaguar prints to honor the big cats for the release of Jaguar Hunt. And while they were in the forest, look what they found! A mother and her cub. So they’re doing their best jaguar growls and clawing at the photographer to ensure he doesn’t get near the momma and her cub. Thanks to Terree and Nyola for their service to the jaguars.  :)

See what happens when you dive into the jaguar’s world? It’s real! Thanks for sharing your photos with me, Terree!
Under the Cover Blog Reviewer tagged me in the CUTEST ever photo of her daughter and her on a camping trip last year… reading in a tent. She gave me permission to share this on my blog.
Now first, I want to say that jaguar shifters and werewolves are into camping, big time. They love the jungles/forests. So it just seems appropriate that she would be reading JAGUAR FEVER on the camping trip.

And in another fan picture posting:
According to her mother, Rhonda, Elysia is already a huge fan of mine. She has always wanted to be a librarian, but wants to write also. When she learned I’ve done both, her mother said I’ve been Elysia’s hero ever since.
Isn’t that the greatest thing ever? To not be able to leap buildings with a single bound, or stop a ship from plowing into a port city single-handed, but to be able to share stories with girls and boys who someday could very well be sharing their own stories and “moving” readers with their adventurous tales for younger generations to read–to me that is the most wondrous thing of all.
Rhonda's daughter reading The Dark Fae at Groundhouse Coffee
A quote from her mom and Elysia: “She is halfway through [The Dark Fae] and said, “OMG Mom this is getting really good!! I can’t put it down!”
And that is the best compliment an author can ever receive.

What could be better than reading The Dark Fae, drinking hot chocolate at Groundhouse Coffee on a lazy summer Sunday afternoon, while mom’s reading a much different book and drinking coffee?
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you, Elysia, for loving my stories. And to her mom, who loves my adult stories, too!!! :)

If you are reading my books and want a picture shared on my blog, just send it along and I’ll do so!!!

Review
For the Love of Bookends – http://loveofbookends.blogspot.com/2014/06/jaguar-hunt-by-terry-spear.html
Already a fan of Ms. Spear’s wolves, I have to say that her jaguars are slowly edging them out for equal time in my heart. I love the steamy environment of the jungle, and definitely want to visit it for myself. Tammy and David were meant for each other, even if they’re partners and really shouldn’t hook up. I found myself laughing and smiling the whole time while reading this book.

The mystery and action in this story kept propelling the story forward and the relationship between Tammy and David was so easy that it builds naturally and easily. I will highly recommend this book, and it’s my new favorite in the Jaguar series.

I am a good fan of shifter stories and I will say that Terry Spear has written a well thought out story here, it kept me guessing till the end – who the bad guys where.  The hero is a sexy Jaguar shifter and the heroine, also a Jaguar shifter, is a woman who prefers to work alone so she tries to ditch him at the first chance. These characters are very likeable and end up working well together. I give this book 5 stars as it flowed through out the whole story.

Okay, that’s it!!! While I was off the computer due to wild storms, I had water in the house from all the torrential rains. But, when I got back on the computer, I had: an email from my editor about changes to Jaguar Pride, an email about final copyediting of A Highland Wolf Christmas, an email from my publicist about all the last links for the blog tour, and an email for another guest blog post.
What does that mean?????

I’m feeling overwhelmed, of course!!!! So I have to go into hibernation for a while once I get out the blog posts to let everyone know about the end of the blog tour. 

Have a super great Monday!

THE END! For.... A SEAL Wolf for Sale!

????

Besides getting covers, which is totally fun, writing the book is the utmost fun!!! Saying THE END after weeks, months of writing on it, brainstorming, gnashing of teeth--not mine, but the wolves, it's finished. Not that it's finished, finished. Like ready to be out there tomorrow for the reading public. But the story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. What more could a writer want???

So it's off for review and I'll have edits, but the book is done.

*Big Sigh*

Because when I'm nearing the end of a book, I have to neglect everything else. So I have the big Jaguar Hunt tour coming up for June and have had to put it on hold until I could finish this book. Now, I have a stack of interviews and blogs to do. So the work is not done. Just a different kind of work.

And I'm excited about finishing a bear for an order.

And I cleaned my house. LOL

Storms are rumbling the whole time and I keep thinking how perfectly moody it is for writing on one of my partially written vampire books. But fans are waiting for The Viking's Highland Lass, so as soon as I catch up on the guest blogs and finish the bear, I'll be back to the Highlanders. :)

Have a super lovely evening!

Time to get back to work...blogs...or the bear. Hmm, if I work on the bear, I can watch a movie.....

What would you do if you were me?

Happy TGIF!!
Terry
