May be finishing this series with this book

By Unknown
Royal Blood - Book Two - Kennedy

Working on Sylphline Realm – Royal Blood (Book Two in the series) this week.

Curious where this book is going. I think this could be the last one in this series since I’m nearing the end and wrapping up the details that I wanted to with this storyline, but any writer worth their salt won’t say “ever” in terms of another  book in a certain series. Thoughts go to Anne Rice who has done that and then realized that she shouldn’t have. Love her.

One just never knows. It was the fans who built Dark Illusions into a series and I am thrilled over that because that led to a series, which led to an entire Universe of connections. All thanks to readers asking me where such and such went, and they wanted to know what would happen to Kat and Julian after the end of DI: The Beginning. Why us writers love our readers so much. You guys are so important in a writer’s life for that reason. Look at the fandom that brought back The X-Files and the ones who want Firefly to come back. Please, please, please. I’m a huge fan myself. :D

Didn’t get much sleep so I’m slow this morning. Noticed a weird leak coming through the fan in the bathroom which concerns me since it’s not raining outside. Wondering where the water is coming from, but can’t check it until my mother wakes. (Since I wrote this in the morning, I did go up and check in the afternoon but it seems the water is coming through the fan pipe that leads outside. Odd. I can only figure that the water came in during our last wind storm, otherwise there is no reason for water to be in there.)

Also have mister Cruz who has been throwing up this morning and a cat I’ve been tending to who also is a little under the weather thanks to rats who’ve brought fleas to our yard. She’s developed an allergic reaction. Getting better thankfully.

I don’t know what has been going on with the rat population around here, but they are building burrows in our yard and love to chew through the fence boards to make a thoroughfare into the neighbor’s yards around us. They destroy gardens because of that. I know they are fond of the cherry trees. We have one old one that doesn’t produce as many cherries anymore–thankfully–but the neighbor next door has one that produces so many that they fall all over our yard as well and the rats love to use our yard to hang out and munch on them. Sabrina used to keep the population in control, but since she passed, they’ve been coming back. Frustrating most because they make it hard to grow plants and fleas come with them. Four years we didn’t have one flea and now? Ugh. Hate rats. Bellevue and Seattle have talked about the rats on the news so it’s obviously not just here.

Time to get to edits on Daughter of the Red Planet. About 1/3 of the way into inputting edits from the physical version. Speeding up so I will run over it around the beginning of April, if not the last week of March and then send to Creech Enterprises and get her first thoughts on it. That’s usually the round where she’ll tell me plot issues, no grammar editing, unless something is glaring that she wants me to focus on.

Read a free preview of Blood By Night on this site tomorrow!

Ladies and Gentlemen….

Normally, right about now, I would feel inclined to continue with “and children of all ages” (guess I’ve been to the circus just one time too many) but this time instead of introducing some dancing bears or the Flying Wallendas, I’m simply here to introduce myself. My name is Tracie Dee . I’ve been writing for about 4 years now and got my start blogging on MySpace. I love writing but these days, I’m also finding enjoyment with vlogging. I have found that videos are a nice way to share what words alone might not give justice to and also for people to really get to know the person behind the words and the keyboard. Overall, I consider myself to be a pretty down to earth and upbeat person, whose sense of humor can be a bit wacky at times. Hey, life can be rough and sometimes laughter and levity can be our only saving grace to help us get through it all. I consider it to be our very own little light at the end of the tunnel that serves to remind us that even during the very worst

Bucket Lists

"Its never too late to be what you might have been" – George Eliot I’ve been a late bloomer in pretty much every aspect of my life. Some of it was out of my control (I mean I really couldn’t help if Mother Nature has a twisted sense of humor and exercised it heavily on me during my teens and twenties) but I can’t put all of the blame for it on her, either. Some of it was also by my personal choice. And by that, I mean I used to be very shy and afraid of “what was out there” in the big, scary world so I would rarely try anything new or took any chances of any kind. I chose instead to do my best to hide away from life, tucking myself away from it safely like a tight little rosebud that had not yet bloomed. But there is a quote that says “And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” This was the case for me. As time went on, my rosebud shell grew more and more uncomfortable for me. So one day I just took a c

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

By
This week's   GBE   is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me.  That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even.  She said:  "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life."    Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works.  A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w
