I thought this was a fun way to show a little branding and have some fun with it. It's free at imikimi.com and this one shows just where I'm at--floating in the clouds as usual while the wolf is fully grounded!

Someone said I was having too much fun now that I am writing full time. You better believe it! I'm writing, of course. 3-4,000 words per day with the fast approaching deadline of Jaguar Fever, and then A SEAL Wolf Christmas after that. But getting creative is what it's all about when writing and promoting.imikimi - sharing creativity 
imikimi - sharing creativityI write in a fae world. Or...about a fae world, but here, if you just use your imagination a tiny bit, this is how the fae see me!
I had no idea the fae has an eye on me. Maybe wondering if I really do know something about them?
That can be dangerous, you see. The fae are tricksters visiting our world to amuse themselves at the expense of humans. So anyone who can see the fae are a danger to them.
That's how it all begins. Making up stories, that is. We have to feel them. Be the characters. Share their experiences. The more conflict they have, the more conflict we have. We don't just send our characters out into the big, bad world and let them take care of it all on their own. Not when we made up that big, bad world in the beginning.
It's just not fair. So WE have to experience all the joys and the downers, all the good stuff and the bad.Too.
The World of Fae
Whatever you endeavor to do, make it fun. Life is too short not to! Terry

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to enter a fae world? Dark and mysterious? Light and majestic? Awe-inspiring? Terrifying?
Like humans, they all have their own interests, agendas, likes and dislikes.
The Dark Fae They're not Tinker Bell-tiny, or make funny little tinkling bell sounds to get someone's attention.
The Deadly Fae They don't always get what they want but it doesn't deter them from trying.
The Winged FaeThey have human desires but magical powers.
The Ancient Fae They can be devilishly fun and devilishly bad.

The World of Fae
Authored by Terry Spear, Terry Spear
Serena, a royal member of the Mabara winged fae, has one goal in mind. Stop an impending marriage with a dark fae. As the fae are known to do, she stirs up trouble that she hopes will make her point and get her off the hook. Only nothing goes as she plans.
Niall, a royal member of the Denkar, aka the dark fae, is visiting South Padre Island when he catches a winged fae painting graffiti on a wall on the island claimed by his people. He is at once fascinated with the lovely girl and intrigued by her audacity, but as one of the Denkar, he must take her to task. Yet she's armed with a sleeping potion that makes his life intolerable. Between freeing her from his people's dungeon, her own tower, and fighting a knight in her honor, he wonders if he's lost his mind over one beautiful winged fae--when she's betrothed to his cousin!

It's not written completely yet, started, but I wanted to share a new cover I have for a YA book coming up! :) Don't you love the cover???
*sigh*
I need more hours in the day!

I had a bit of fun with making the cover for the 5th book in the World of Fae series, Dragon Fae. I'm going to try and change the title some to make it stand out more...What do you think she's looking at?
Doesn't she look like she could be one of the dragon fae???
Off to work. It's going to be a really long week!
Have a super Saturday!

It's time for the New Year, and I'm searching for a new cover for the fae series, but I wanted to pause and show off this beautiful artwork of a fairy princess by Nene Thomas.
I love fantasy and this embodies it. A winter fairy scene, the wise old owls, the loyal steed, the beautiful fae princess.
Note she is wearing flowers despite the cold environment, the tiny touches of greenery and berries give a bit of color to the crisp white scene.
In
The Ancient Fae, Princess Ritasia doesn't believe that old stuff from a dig site would ever yield anything important, but she discovers that there's no telling what importance an object can truly have...
Hope everyone is having a wonderful time for the first day of the New Year!
I'm off to work on edits for the first jaguar shifter story. Then it's another search for the perfect fae cover for book 5.

That's the problem with being a writer. Truly. I have all these demons in my head. Well, not really. But I can be minding my own business, and the next thing I know, a story is filling pages. I had this teen book halfway written, the scenes just coming to me for Demon Trouble Too. I wrote 16 pages on the flight out to see my son and daughter-in-law in Pensacola, and when I was there, I was revising and writing and having fun.
Because that's what creating stories is all about. Sweating through the bad stuff. Not my bad stuff, but their bad stuff. Trying to figure out a way that despite all that's going on, they can have a happily ever after.
Oh, sure, I know a lot of teen drama doesn't have. But sorry. When I was a teen, my dad was laid off with countless other space program employees. We struggled to keep our house until we could sell. I love happily ever afters. I want a happily ever after. So even if the stories are a little dark, as my daughter would say, there's always a rainbow.
What about you? Do you love the tear jerkers? Or are happily ever afters the preferred reading material for you?

...that's the problem with writers. They don't have anything to say, but they'll say it anyway!
First, thanks to everyone who stopped by Karen Nutt's blog yesterday. I couldn't get signed into Twitter, so couldn't spread the word that way. But I finally was able to do it today.
Second, I joined YARWA to try it out. It's a young adult chapter of the Romance Writers of America.
Now, I have to say I was trying to wrest the wheel away from the pirate. Note that he has taken us aground. And I am sure I can sail better than he can.
Why did I picture this here? The YARWA motto is say it like a pirate: "yarh" or something like that!
I thought it was cute.
He's not though. He's rather on the scrawny side. No meat on his bones. No muscles. No golden tanned skin. Even bald, if I can make out the situation under his pirate's hat and all.
Now note, my hat is also a pirate's hat. Well, maybe not real piratey looking, but I've worn it in many an ocean, protecting my Celtic skin from sunburn, and so if you look really, really close, you can see the salt from the Seven Seas. Maybe not the Seven Seas--doesn't that sound like a pirate's yarn to you?
But several--lakes and oceans and the Gulf too.
And that's what I have to say today...nothing at all!!!
Have a terrific Tuesday, and remember...if you feel the urge, be a pirate and yarh!~

One of the most fun things about self-publishing is having your own publishing schedule! I've got to work today, but since I've finished The Winged Fae, I've got The High Elf up to start working on. Can't find Tom's story (of the gray wolf pack in Destiny of the Wolf). Forgot the title I used for it! LOL
Hey, I was tired last night when I tried to find it! But I'll be working on that on Sunday also, as soon as I locate it--tonight after work too! I have one beginning, but want to make something more dramatic. :)
That's one of the cool things I learned from another writer: The beginning is never the beginning. Some of mine are, and some I change drastically as I write the story. But just knowing we can alter it gives us the go ahead to just run with it, instead of getting stuck on attempting to write the perfect beginning and never going anywhere with it.
It's weird how that goes too. I close my eyes at night and begin to think about it--where Tom is, where the heroine is, the trouble they're in, how they get together.
But then I flipped to The High Elf (in my tired brain that is supposed to be sleeping), and think of how I started the scene, which I'm keeping (says me--but after I've written a lot more, who knows how it might evolve?) and I'm thinking what happens next? First, Eloria is given the disagreeable task to bring Persephonice home from the uncivilized world of elves (The Shadow Elf). But she believes Persephonice wants to be right where she is.
Then there's the trouble with the water dwelling elves and mer creatures and well...you see, she's another redhead...
But that's another story...
So from beginning to end, here is The Winged Fae, a story that evolved from loving this one picture and how it inspired me to write the 3rd book in The World of Fae series! More to come!

The Scepter of Salvation, Book 1
Princess Talamaya turned 18 in the human kingdom of Damar, just like her twin brother. Only when she comes of age, she must wed the king's choice. When her brother comes of age, he's allowed to sit on the council. But everything changes when a wizard pits beast and man against each other in Inherian--all because of the loss of the Scepter of Salvation and she must return it to their kingdom.
Princess Talamaya and her friends, Lady Kersta and Lady Mexia, must retrieve the Scepter of Salvation when her brother is poisoned.Visions plague Talamaya of a world beyond her own, of a destiny she has to fulfill.
But the barbarian king is also after the scepter, and the black-hearted wizard who is trying to gain control will do anything to keep them from retrieving it.
She must free a knight from his madness.
Help a female dwarf escape from the dwarven mines.
Aid an Amazon fighting the Dark Elves.
Rescue even the barbarian king.
Save a crusty old dwarf from the wolves of Elan Pass.
And outwit the dark wizard once more.
Above all else, she must always take the path of righteousness.
Which is much easier said than done.
Here is the old cover!
And here's the new cover for book 2, The Mage of Monrovia!
Mexia has already done much more than most school- trained mages when she and her companions had gone in search of the scepter of salvation. But now one of the apprentices of the evil wizard they had destroyed, has stolen his spell book and plans to take up where he had left off, and she has to try and stop him.
Mexia believes the only way for her to defeat the mage is to become school trained like he was with the eventual goal of becoming a high wizard--the first of her kind in Inherian. But the current headmaster denies her entrance because she's a woman. Though if she can get the former headmaster's recommendation, she may attend.
And that's the beginning of the trouble.
First, there's the wizard.
Then, the immovable headmaster.
And then, the circle of misfortunes.
It all goes downhill from there...
One of the fun things about Indie publishing is that we can change the cover if we want, and I've wanted to do this for a long time, so what do you all think? Top one is the new cover, the bottom is the old cover...
I've also reduced the price for a short time from $4.99 to $2.99 for each book!

Trying to conserve water, reduce evaporation, all that sort of thing, I spread bark mulch underneath my shrubs. It looks nicer than bare earth too. Great idea, right?
Except for one thing. My neighbor has chickens and they dig in it. So every time that I sweep it off the brick walkway and back under my shrubs, the chickens invade and scratch it all back onto my patio.
That's me above. Only I don't get the eggs!
When I lived in Oklahoma, we had problems with a neighbor who had cows. He believed since he sold the land to folks on the ridge and the rest of the land around us was his cattle grazing land, he shouldn't have to fence them in. That we had to fence his cattle out. Didn't work. The calves got beyond my split rail fence, the cows reached their heads underneath the lower posts and yanked out all of my newly planted shrubs, killing them. After all that work of planting around 30 shrubs, I was pretty angry.
Now, I like animals. And I have to admit those doe-eyed cows and calves tugged at my heart, but the farmer only cared about eating them. And he didn't care anything about what they did to the properties that he'd sold to others.
Free range went out a couple of centuries ago! Free range meant he could graze his cattle anywhere. Then barbed wire fencing came into fashion. Instead of barbed wire though...I just got a lawyer's letter explaining we weren't living in "that" world any longer and he had to fence his cows to keep them contained off our property. He moved his cows, knowing he couldn't put fences up here, and there, and everywhere. Too many homesteads. The property all cut up. Talk about wanting your beef and eating it too!
I still love living out with the "wild" animals.
Only, I wish they'd quit messing with my garden! The good thing about the chickens is they do eat bugs. Have at it! I've got plenty of those!
Ever have problems with neighbor's pets???

See the little path and the slight rise in the hill and then the hole in the rock? That's an entrance to the castle.
I just loved it. I could envision guarding that entrance from enemies, or hoping that if I entered through there, I would be thought of as friend, not foe.
The castle sat high above cliffs so not easily accessible.
I envisioned the lairds who ruled over the castle and lands--whether they be the usual sort, a little wolfish, or even part of the fae world. :)
So if you visited here in the distant past, who would you have encountered?

Some thought that the blurred photo I used in The Dark Fae book trailer was photo shop magic.
But it's really true fae magic.
Okay, here's the secret: We were driving through a really cool tunnel of trees. I was sitting in the back seat, trying to take pictures of everything and anything, and I wanted desperately to take a picture of this mystical area after leaving the B&B. We drove through it several times, seeing a deer in the thick forest the one time as we had to find a place to eat dinner, and we ventured onto one of the islands the next day and returned to the B&B that night.
So I took the photo from the back seat, trying to get a picture through the windshield. We were really going slow as it was pretty much a one-car road and it wound around so you couldn't see head-on traffic coming up. Actually, if I had been driving, we would have been going slower. Which would have meant we probably wouldn't have seen half as much of Scotland as we did! :)
Luckily, we only encountered another car coming from the opposite direction once. And the other good part was that it didn't matter which side of the road we drove on. There weren't two sides. :)
Clever, the Scots, eh?
The only thing I photo shopped out was the rear view mirror, that had the nerve to be in the picture, and a little bit of one of the head rests, same story. :)
And that's the story...how we fae transported in Scotland. :)

I haven't made a book trailer in quite a while, mainly because they take so long--this one took 7 hours! But they're lots of fun to make and I hope readers enjoy watching them!
I still need to make one for Heart of the Highland Wolf!
The Dark Fae
Alicia has planned a vacation at South Padre Island with her girlfriend Cassie in forever. But just as they're enjoying a day on the beach, here comes a dark fae to spoil their holiday, except only she can see what he truly is. Alicia has no idea how upside down her world can turn with a chance meeting with one of the dark fae from the royal house of the Denkar.
Alicia's always known she's different--that she can recognize the mischievous fae when they show up to "play" with the humans. Only now she's faced with one highly annoyed dark fae and she's certain he knows the truth about her. She can see him, which means her life is forfeit.
Add to that, his sister arrives, who wants to play, too. And their mother, the queen of the Denkar, will want Alicia's head, once she learns what Alicia can do.
And all because Alicia was attempting to rescue her friend, Cassie, on their beach excursion at South Padre Island, from the wicked fae. Now, Alicia has really gone and done it--and she's thinking she should have let the fae have his fun. Her friend's broken heart would be a lot easier to deal with, than Alicia losing her life.
But it is too late for regrets. As soon as she threw the soda at the dark fae's chest, she had declared war on the fae. And he is happy to take up the challenge.

So what do you all think? Was it worth all the time it took to make it, or should I have just spent the time writing???
Have a super Monday!

Who needs sleep? Well, I do.
But when the story is keeping me awake, I have to write it or I'll keep thinking about it over and over, trying to "remember" it for when I wake. Which can have disastrous consequences. In other words, I don't recall anything I thought of once I wake. Or, I don't ever sleep, and still can't remember what I was thinking of.
So what happens when the story hits in the middle of the night?
I see full scenes.
Sometimes it just happens. Last night, I woke from a nightmare and couldn't quit thinking about work and whatnot, and couldn't get back to sleep. So I forced myself to think about a scene in The Winged Fae I needed to write.
And that's when it happened.
I can stare at my computer screen every minute I have free from work and not get anything written. So sometimes I just have to get away from the computer and brainstorm, and then if it comes to me, I begin to write it down by long hand.
Which is why I'm up really early typing my notes up now.
Well, actually, I never got back to sleep.
It's really a major scene, the turning point in the story. I need to write more that leads up to it. And flesh it out more, but I actually wrote the whole scene--9 pages long, 3,000 words. :)
Less than 9,000 words to go and The Winged Fae will be done!
Did it come to me in a dream? Absolutely not. I was fully awake, sort of. Now I'm even less so.
:)
I told you the fae are mischievous!

A couple of years ago, I was asking my mother about writing a new vampire book and where I should set the story. She exclaimed, "A cruise ship! And the vampire would have lots of people to eat off of and then he could just throw their bodies overboard and no one would be the wiser."
"Romance, Mom. I write romance."
She'd give me one of her pixie smiles and shrug.
But even so, that was the beginning of my vampire young adult book--set in Dallas where 4 male teen vampires get into trouble with the league and have to leave in a hurry. Why not a cruise ship where they can get away and "hide" for a while?
Yes, of course there's biting, and yes of course we have bodies overboard, but it's not what you think! :) Or maybe it is! So if you want to go on a cruise ship where some of the passengers might not be who you think they would be...join me! On a blood moon night....

The motto of the vampires is that humans have to deal with problems on their own. But when Levka and his friends risk all to save human girls, he is injured and so the adventure begins. A cruise. A human girl who is terrified of water. And a vampire who has targeted her for his mate. But she has some secrets of her own.
Forced to take a cruise ship to babysit her foster sister, Caitlin has to face her own demons. But add to that her foster sister's and her friend's antics and Caitlin's inability to use her witch's magic over water and she has little hope to enjoy this trip. Until she meets a wheelchair-bound teen and wants to make friends with him in the worst way.
Levka and his friends make a hasty retreat from Dallas before the vampire elders stake them for getting involved in human affairs--again. But when he meets Caitlin on the cruise ship, hating that he's so weak after being injured so severely that he has to use a wheelchair, he finds their troubles have just begun.

Tall, dark, handsome and deadly Lord Fairhaven insists she do a job for him. Which she refuses. But the lord is not one to take no for an answer.
The crown prince of the cobra fae doesn't know what to think when he hires a master assassin who turns out to be a woman--not her father like he'd been led to believe. But can she eliminate one of the most powerful queens of any of the fae kingdoms without getting herself killed?
He soon rethinks his plan as he gets to know the woman he begins to think of as his angel assassin.

I was reading about fairies and the fae realms while I'm writing The Deadly Fae, although everyone has their own versions, which is what makes it fun to write my own version, and had to include my knight errant here today.
It's hard for me to keep a hero dark in a story--I always want to "rehabilitate" them so that they are loving and kind and what everyone wants in a hero. Yet, it's important to show growth in characters, so I struggle to keep my hero dark until he has "grown."
:)
I've read stories about heroes who are dark--dark pasts, who verge on abusive, and I can't see how that could be appealing to readers, yet for some it is. I don't care how much one romanticizes about such behavior, it's just not romantic to me! :)
Well, I'm off to work on Fae some more. I still need to finish up two more rounds for the contest that Ian is in...
In The Deadly Fae, the hero is Prince Creshion Fairhaven, and he's truly a dark hero with a dark past.
If you fell in love with a roguish hero, how would you try to rehabilitate him? Or would you let love take its course?
Oh, and it's possible that The Dark Fae, and others in the series, could come out in a print book form. My historical publisher is considering it. :)

I've got the covers for 3 more fae stories! And I'm working on The Deadly Fae now!
I'll be writing about Deveron's sister in one of the stories, but I've started two others also. In The Deadly Fae, Sessicily is an assassin fae, only no one knows she's actually doing her father's work. He's been dead for four years. The guild master and her loyal servants are the only ones who know the truth. But she's retired. Finished. No more assassin jobs.
Until the guild master sends a man who requires her services. And he doesn't take no for an answer.

Because of popular demand, I'm working on The Winged Fae, sequel to The Dark Fae. Oftentimes, I get a lot of fan requests for certain characters, which prompt me to write a sequel about those characters. But this time, the sales are just so phenomenal for The Dark Fae, I'm inspired to write another story in the fae kingdoms.
We're back to South Padre Island in the opening...and one mischievous fae...
What fae would ever be bold enough to enter another fae-claimed territory (although humans think they own it), and believe she would not have to face the consequences of her actions?
An assassin royal winged fae of the Mabara Fae kingdom.
With a message.

I've written sequels to books and then not sold the original, so I stopped writing sequels! What about you? Do you like to read series where you can't wait for the next book to come out even if it takes a couple of years, or do you like to read stand-alone titles?
Actually, even though this is another story in the fae series, it's a stand alone title. I like to be able to read books out of order myself, so I try to write my stories that way also. :)
Off to work on The Winged Fae!

Persephonice is given the mission of distracting the shadow elves who are bound to learn what is blocking their water source before they discover a space ship is sitting in the middle of their river. That's how all the trouble begins.
Persephonice is an overseer--an observer and recorder of information about inhabitants of civilized worlds. Only she's lost her lifemate and cannot be an overseer without one. She's given a second chance if she can prove she's worthy if she can survive an inhospitable planet inhabited by elves and other mythical creatures she's only read about, very little of which is known of them except that they constantly battle amongst themselves and are not civilized enough to safely observe.
The shadow elf, Dracolin, a warrior given the task of learning what is blocking their water source, doesn't expect to find the most unusual creature he's ever encountered--a red-haired, green-eyed land-bound mermaid. That's only the beginning. She understands and can speak his language, falls off cliffs without injuring herself, and swims like a mermaid--without the fishtail.
Everyone is intrigued with her--except some fear her uniqueness and want to destroy her. That is the problem with observing uncivilized worlds.Have you ever felt like that? So unique that you're not well received???
I have to mention that I've dedicated The Shadow Elf to my daughter, Jennifer Spear, who inspired me to write the story, all because of her red hair. She is featured on the cover, dressed for the Renaissance Fair, and surrounded by all manner of elves and sprites!

Also, I've already selected the covers for the next two FAE stories.
THE DARK FAE is selling so well, I'm starting to write the next in the series:
THE WINGED FAE.
:) See what happens when a winged fae ignores the territorial rights of the lion fae--under the watchful eye of one of the dark fae. Should he let her get away with it? Or make her pay for her insolence! Well, if the queen hears about it...the queen just better not hear of it, or one winged fae will be toast.
Have a super Sunday! I'm off to try to rescue a winged fae...or not. :) Depends on which side I'm on. :)
