Almost Done with Bear Orders!

Alpaca Bear

Pink Sweater Bear with Tutu

Purple Sweater Bear

Tinsel Bear

These are all for one order. Two more bears–a Steampunk Bear and a Dragon Bear, still to do.

And I finished reviewing Kiss of the Vampire. Waiting on new cover to upload it. This is a small version, so I need a bigger one.

New Cover

And I’m off to finish up reading over The Vampire…In My Dreams. I’ve got the rights back, so need to get this one done, and then make it available.

New Cover

We’re having vampire weather today…cloudy, cold, Gothic. Love it. :)

Have a super great Saturday!!!

Woohoo, New Cover Reveal!

SEAL Wolf Hunting–July 2015

Coming in July, 2015

SEAL Wolf Hunting (Heart of the Wolf)

I’m soooo excited about this cover. It has lots of energy, don’t you think? Love colors, the wolf, the hero.

Texas Sunset

Have you ever been in a rush, and goofed? Well, I was trying to get a picture of another finished Steampunk Bear for an order and the sun was setting, fast, and I forgot to put her Steampunk watch on. So I have to wait for the sun to rise this morning so I can take her picture, again. So the sun just rose, but it’s still fairly dark out. I’ll show her off tomorrow, maybe with another couple of bears if I have time to finish them.

And more finished bears. I really have been working.

Mink Bear

Rainbow Fairiechick Bear

Red Dragon Bear–Sold out!

I finished her and she’s ready to ship, and I finished another bear’s paws, and half of another bear’s paws last night for a 4 bear order. But the one has to have a tutu. I’ve made them before, but I wanted to see if they had some other fun techniques to make them, and voila, I LOVE the Internet. All kinds of sites showing how to make one in a fun way.

I turned in A Silver Wolf Christmas, and I’m now rereading Kiss of the Vampire, YA, since I have to update  the cover as soon as I get the finalized one back from the cover artist.

And I’m going to reread The Vampire…In My Dreams and I’ve been reformatting it so that I can republish it.

And I’m still working with the last beta reader on Call of the Cougar.

I hope to finish 2-3 bears today, and finish reading Kiss of the Vampire. 

What a great, cold day! Happy TGIF!

Don’t you love the new cover???

More Bears Ready to Ship! Anderson Clan, Ross Clan, and Douglas Clan Bears!

Anderson Clan Bear

Ross Clan Bear

Douglas Clan Bear

Six more bears finished, but I still need to take pictures of the others. These are the 3 latest Clan bears, Ross Clan, Douglas Clan, and Anderson Clan. I also need to make Davidson Clan Bear, but the fabric never arrived from Scotland, so they’re sending another.

I’m working on A Silver Wolf Christmas, halfway done, and I put up the Christmas tree, just the tree, because my son has to be away over Christmas, so we’ll have an early Christmas. Which means I’ve got to get on the ball and shop really fast! I haven’t actually decorated it yet, just have the lights on. I’ll do the rest first part of next week. I usually put up the tree the day AFTER Thanksgiving, but when I told my son I was decorating for Christmas, he was thrilled because he didn’t get to see anything decorated for Christmas last year either since he was doing the same thing then. And it’s my daughter’s birthday, so we’re celebrating that also. Lots of fun. I have to shop for that too. LOL See, if they just wanted my bears and books, I’d be all set.

And I’ve been sealing the grout for the new tile. The tile guys said it would be $600. The other man, $300. I picked up a gallon jug and it’s $32. I just did the bathroom and have to do the laundry room next. It’s super easy, but I have a lot of grout to do. I want to get it done before too many come and walk all over it.

I’ll be shipping bears today and getting groceries. Have to start thinking about Thanksgiving!
I’m back to working on A Silver Wolf Christmas. I finished 6 bears yesterday and put up the tree, or I would have been further along on the book. I also asked a cover artist if she could create a cover for a book that my editor turned down and hope to have it edited and coming out early next year. And I’ve commissioned another artist to redo the cover for Kiss of the Vampire, and she has done a 2nd cover for the Blood Moon Series. As soon as she has finished them, I’ll show them here. Can’t wait to show them off. 

And that’s it! Got to get back to editing.  Have a lovely Thursday!

Before! After! Renovating with Tile!

35-year old stained carpeting

Still have some work to do today, then cleaning.

I have 21 bears made up, just need to do the finishing embroidery work, etc. And one in progress, another needs to be cut out, but made up the dragon cloak. 

And I got edits back on A SEAL Wolf Hunting. Editor loved it! So just need to add a few more details on a couple of things, and then I’ve got to turn it back in pronto. Waiting on one more Silver Wolf Christmas beta read, then can turn it in. And one more Call of the Cougar beta read, and can publish. And two audiobooks waiting for review–Huntress for Hire and Her Highland Hero. *sigh*
So far the schedule for the first of the new books is: SEAL Wolf Diving, Feb 2016, She-Wolf Leader (titles to change btw), Jun 2016, and Jaguar Jingle Bells, Oct 2016, and Billionaire in Wolf’s Clothing, Feb 2017

And it’s 38 degrees this morning!! It’s cold, but I refuse to turn on the heat. It’s going to be a high of 65 today. That’s the lowest we’ve been this fall. Tomorrow, back to 73 degrees and then 78 the next day.

Have a wonderful Saturday!!! After he’s finished with projects today, I’m going to be doing a lot of cleaning. Dust everywhere. And I’ll be redecorating a bit later. I moved a big cabinet to another location, and so it freed up a wall and need to do something else there.



So what do you think?

Renovating, Wildflowers, a Red Dragon Bear, and a Sunset

I made up this bear for an order and have enough fabric to make one more, but it’s also sold now. 

Red Dragon Bear

Lovely Texas Sunset last night.

Wildflowers and Roses still blooming.

A rose

Purple Wildflowers

Old Kitchen, Stove went out

This shows the old tile in the kitchen.

tile in kitchen before grout

old window in kitchen

Kitchen window, ice on inside

This was why I had to change out the window. Besides the wind blowing straight through it and feeling the cold air seeping through the single pane window, I had ice built up on the inside of the window last winter!

new kitchen with the new tile and window–still needs grout.

All these renovations have taken place over the years. But it sure is nice getting them done.
Off to work on stuff.  I’m way behind on Phantom Fae. Too much distraction with the workmen here.  That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. :)

I think the kitchen has a much warmer appeal than it had before.  What do you think?

Have a super lovely Tuesday!!!

Have You Ever Been to a Renaissance Fair? & Wolf Awareness Week Continues!

Going to a Renaissance Fair in Texas can be challenging–clothes wise.  You’re trying to dress up in period clothes and its HOT!
Anyway, my son-in-law is dressing up for the first time, and I’m excited. I’m wearing cooler. :)  I just throw some stuff together. We don’t go to them enough to pay a lot of money on costumes and I had a few things from some other events I wore, so should work. It’s the fantasy theme, so that should be fun.

Denali, Bolz, and Luna at fence where workers were doing something

Curious and interested in what was going on. Food maybe? They were fed once a week like they would be fed in the wild.

Wolf behind purple leaves

And it’s fun time with bears!

Sherbert bear on fur

Feather Bear Large

Feather Bear Small

And pictures from the Renaissance Fair we went to a few years back. :)

Okay, off to work. Got Jaguar Pride final proof to review back and more beta reader critiques for A Silver Wolf Christmas, and more bear orders, and what am I doing playing around with pictures again???

I did turn in SEAL Wolf Hunting!


Have a great Friday! Happy TGIF!

I Wasn’t Going to Post Today Because I Have so Much to Do, But…

I wasn’t going to post today because I’ve GOT to finish A SEAL Wolf Hunting edits today, turn it in and finish 2 bears by tomorrow at noon. At least that was the plan. :) <3 span=""> But then I got this terrific review at Fresh Fiction, and one from Angel’s Guilty Pleasures, and  I had to share the steampunk bear and sherbet bears I just finished for a couple of orders, and I just had to drop in share about the spider takeover.

So here I am, and then I’m in the bear cave to edit!

Love this review!!!

“A holiday treat — a romance that sizzles and entertains!”

A Highland Wolf Christmas
Terry Spear

Reviewed by Miranda Owen
Posted October 15, 2014

Holiday | Romance Paranormal

A HIGHLAND WOLF CHRISTMAS is Book fifteen in Terry Spear’s Heart of the Wolf series. As always, Terry Spear balances great characters, eroticism, and high-energy story- telling to make a compelling read. A HIGHLAND WOLF CHRISTMAS is another story by this author that I was anxious to read, and sad to see end.
A HIGHLAND WOLF CHRISTMAS is both fun and exciting. The camaraderie between the members of the MacNeill family, and Guthrie’s bodyguard attempts make for some lighter moments. These lighter moments act as a nice counterpoint to the drama and danger surrounding Calla being stalked by her ex. Terry Spear does a wonderful job drawing both of these characters out and adding depth to them. Guthrie really surprised me by not being the crotchety spendthrift I thought he would be. Instead, he’s sexy and has a big heart. Calla is not a warrior or fighter but she stands up to her ex when he tries to push her around. She shows a strong character and courage. I love how Guthrie’s family welcomed Calla and made her feel like a part of their family — even before she officially got together with Guthrie.
A HIGHLAND WOLF CHRISTMAS is a holiday treat — a romance that sizzles and entertains. The familiar characters from previous books make a great addition to the story and don’t take anything away from the romance between Guthrie and Calla. I love this Heart of the Wolf series by Terry Spear and eagerly await the next installment.

But when I went out to take her picture by the bell, where I can sit the bears more easily, I had found a spider takeover.

Another lovely review: This one for Hero of a Highland Wolf by Angel’s Guilty Pleasures!




- 4.5 Highland Wolf Stars -
I love picking up any of Ms. Spear book’s. They always feel like a new adventure, with great characters and sweet romance. She writes the most interesting shifter characters. I especially love reading about her highland wolves. They are just so yummy.
Hero of a Highland Wolf is book fourteen in Heart of the Wolf series by Terry Spear. Hero of a Highland Wolf can be read as a standalone. We get humor, sweet romance, revenge and family.
I was pulled in from the first page. Really who can not be pulled in by brawny werewolves in kilts and nothing else. I’m a sucker for sexy highland shifters of any kind and when they are dressed in kilts only. Oh Baby! Let me get my fan. What does a shifter wolf wear under his kilt? You guessed it! 
Grant MacQuarrie is the caretaker of Farriage Castle which Colleen Playfair inherited. Grant has some fears, so he hatches a plan. Let me tell you I loved this plan and got a great laugh when the plan does not work and the joke is on Grant as Colleen is best friends with Julia. This book is a lot of fun, the romance builds slowly with misunderstandings, danger and a rival. When they finally get together the scenes are smoking hot! We always get a great cast of characters in Ms. Spear book’s and this one is no different. I love the camaraderie of the pack’s and the ladies’ party was so much fun to read.
What I like best is you don’t need to have read each book in order to understand and enjoy them. If you have not yet had a chance to read this series, get started. It is well worth the time. Ms. Spears is a fantastic writer and her humor is wonderful.

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.

We had tremendous storms last night and so today, it’s clearing and my workmen are coming back to do some more projects. The storm a couple of weeks ago took out some of the roofs off some buildings in Waco. Saturday’s storm, not sure. Last night was really bad again and it had me up and unplugging computers and stuff. Electricity went out 5 times. Another storm system coming in on Monday next week. But we’ve so needed the rain, I can’t complain and the temps are dropping, and I’m thrilled!
Happy Wolf Awareness Week!
Okay, I’m off to really work. Have 8 chapters to finish reading/editing, then turn in. And another bear to make. :) Well, lots more, but one that needs to ship soon. 
Have a super great Thursday!!!
