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!

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

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...

(GBE 2:Blog On) First Love

By
Old post being reposted. GBE2: Blog On's Topic this week is: First Love Click the link to find out what GBE2: Blog On is and how YOU can participate. If you love writing and/or blogging, it's the place to go! Great people, great fun, what more could you ask for? FIRST LOVE When I first saw the topic for this week's GBE2, my first thought was of the friendship I walked away from just last week. He was one of my first love's. But I had already talked about it on a previous web post so I wanted something different. I just didn't want to focus on it. Today, while I was doing dishes, a.k.a inspiring myself, I thought of a different first love. To myself. I do too. I love myself. I may not always like myself... I mean come on, if you had to live with her 24/7 she might drive you batty too. But I do love myself. People can tell you so. I don't need to. Well I did, but... I'm digressing. I'm quirky, crazy (two different things there obbb...

(GBE2: Blog On) Let go of the reins and you'll know freedom

By
This week's (4th) GBE2: Blog On topic is "Control." For more info head here I admit it, I'm a type-A personality. It was a learned behavior. I felt as though I needed to be in constant control of everything around me. I worked 3 jobs and went for weeks on occasion without a day off. I still felt as though I wasn't doing enough. Not around the house, not with my friends, not for dating, not even for work. I just have always had this "I'm not doing enough" attitude instilled in me from a lot of the immediate people around me. So a lot of my behavior was ingrained so deep that I still suffer with that. I feel as though no matter what, I'm not doing enough, being the best I can be, and all of that great unhealthy attitude one should not have. But I do. And I know it's not good, but I still suffer with feeling inadequate because I am just not doing enough. Which is wrong. It's just something that I suffer with. I admit to it....
