This is the first in the series! Kiss of the Vampire:

Kiss of the Vampire

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.

Ghosts LOVE days like this! They blend right in with the mist!



 Here's the vampire bear I created. His fangs are embroidered. He's all dressed up and has no place to go!

Kiss of the Vampire

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.

 It's time for vampires and other things that go bump in the night!!

 

Proving a guy is a vampire for the glory it will bring seemed like a good idea.  At the time.  Until he needs Marissa Lakeland's help to fight the vampire who made him the way he is.  No problem. She's a witch.  Witches can handle it.  But vampires don't exist, and there's nothing in a witch's training that deals with a creature that doesn't exist.  So using her wits, she'll manage, right?  If the creature of the night doesn't get her first.  As a centuries-old vamp, Lynetta doesn't lose ever, and she doesn't intend to now.

So of course besides vampires, we must have ghosts!

More of a view of the fog on a nice Halloweenish day, albeit a bit early. This was a view of my neighbor's yard that normally you can see clearly.

Perfectly spooky, right?




All the ghosts and witches and wait, black and white kitties and a black and white panda bear? Oh well, they wanted to be part of the plan! My mother gave me the black and white kittens and panda. Except panda is distracted. Hey, look at the camera, this way!!

I had a black and white cat, Trixie, who was full of the devil and my baby for years. So I have a collection of black and white cats! Just pretend they are all black. :)

Yes, the question is: Where is the spider who made this huge web???

Isn't it just perfect for Halloween? As long as it's outside and I'm not about to walk through it, yes!

Why does the yard look so blurred beyond? It's not the camera, or the photographer or Photoshop, but we had a spectacularly ghoulish mist blanketing the whole area. Perfect for a Halloween day/night. Only it's too early!!!




Remember troll dolls? See the troll dressed as a black kitty cat and carrying her own jack-o-lantern trick-or-treating bag? I got it for my daughter years ago because of her red hair and she was a black kitty cat one year! But guess who kept it??? 

The wizard bear is my own creation. And the two little wooden jack-o-lanterns, my parents'. 

Have a spooktacular day!

If you look really closely at the eye, you can see she's got an eye on Savage Hunger! I was trying to learn how to change eye color in eyes! I did play around with it and I didn't do what it was supposed to! But it kind of did. :) This was Silaynne's original eye.

 Silaynne has some neat tutorials on how to do it.

 Anyway! I'll keep playing around with it another day! Have to keep writing.


But I used a different technique to change the eye color, made it a little more visible in Dragon Fae....She has very pretty pale green eyes. I didn't want to change that to a bright green, but wanted to make her green eyes stand out a little more. :)

Only 13,000 words to go!!!

I had ARCs of A Howl for a Highlander come in last night, that I didn't realize were sitting next to my front door and figured I'd put out the call on Facebook to see if any reviewers wanted a copy to review, and voila! Within an hour, they were all asked for. I was shocked!!! First, that I got any copies, and 2nd that they went that fast!!!!

I'm so glad everyone is having fun with the wolves!

I expected to be getting requests for days until they were all gone. Shows what I know!



Now I've got to run out to get envelopes to ship them in. I could have sworn I bought two bundles of them, but I probably used all those already!

And...I have to say that about the man who jumped into the tiger's zoo pen--yikes!!!!  Was it really worth it?

In my books I talk about the shifters becoming one with their shifter halves, but hey they ARE shifters. So they can do that!

I don't recommend anyone getting that close to a big cat!!! With wolves, which is why I never can understand that people make the comments that wolves will kill people because they don't, cougars and bears do, and tigers and lions do...(jaguars don't)...but you just don't want to pet the big cats. Or bears.

Okay, off to write and then I have to run into town for envelopes.

Have a nice Sunday and remember...if you are not a shifter, and even if you are--a werewolf or jaguar shifter don't belong in a tiger's pen...don't try to pet the big cat. Get a little one.

Or get them in my books. They're hunky and very safe. :)

I'm working on Dragon Fae now, finally. I received a recent fan mail asking if Alicia and Deveron

will ever get married.

It's hard to say.It's possible, but they're having a real problem now. One dragon fae, Ena, is called in to help out as Alicia finally decides she has to do something about Cassie and Micala's relationship, and that turns out to be one big mistake. Deveron's doing everything he can to locate Alicia, but Ena works alone, and she's beyond unusual. But sometimes it takes a little someone different to get the job done.

I'm still playing around with the cover too!

Have a Super Saturday!

Back to the fae and the mess they've gotten themselves into. I leave them for a moment and you wouldn't believe all the trouble they can cause!

Can't sleep? Write!

Actually, some of the not sleeping is because the characters have taken up residence in my head. And that can be a good thing really.

As opposed to I'm trying and trying and trying to come up with the next avenue the characters take and I've spent plenty of time doing that.

So what do I do? Keep trying to tell them to go to bed? Which ain't happening because when they're dealing with issues in the story, I can't just turn them off or tune them out. And I KNOW from past experience that if I tell myself I'll write it down when I get up in the morning, most of the time, I won't remember the scene at all. Sometimes I do.

This is who was giving me trouble last night. Doesn't she look like a real troublemaker? Well, she is!

What I've been told by writing gurus is that if you keep remembering a scene even when you don't write it down, it's not going to go away and add it to the story. But the ones I can't remember were great, too. So that's not the reason they didn't stick. I can be taking a shower and the same thing happens. I can visualize the whole scene (not in visual detail as people's features or the setting, but the dialogue and action), and when I get out of the shower, poof, it's gone. Or I'm driving somewhere and by the time I can stop, same thing.

So why does this happen? Why are some scenes so memorable that you can remember them over and over and over again until you quit delaying and write it down, and others are not?

The interesting thing is that if I wrote the scene down, usually when I reread it, I'll be like wow, I didn't remember that. It's a great scene. Great idea. Sometimes I vaguely remember them, but sometimes I really don't. So is it our subconscious speaking and it's so elusive that if we don't capture it on paper, it's lost forever?

You didn't know this writing thing could be so profound, did you?

The bottom line is that I tried to go to bed but the scenes kept coming to me so I figured, what the heck. Time to write some more.

I ended up writing a record 6,000 words on Dragon Fae. I had started out with 400 words to the story yesterday morning and didn't start writing again on it until yesterday evening as I was adding 3,000 to Highland Rake! So not too bad! In a day's work!


I'm off to type up notes and then get back to writing on Highland Rake. In the first book, Winning the Highlander's Heart, the heroine has the ability to foresee some events in the future. In The Accidental Highland Hero, no paranormal issues. In Lady Caroline and the Egotistical Earl, the heroine has a photographic memory. I always wished I could have one of those!

So in Highland Rake, the heroine sees ghosts.

Off to write! Have a super great Hump Day!

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!

Could be that the wolf is part of my pack and he's thinking about me. You never know. 

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.

I 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.


 

 






























 












Whatever you endeavor to do, make it fun. Life is too short not to!

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 Fae


They have human desires but magical powers.
The Ancient Fae


They can be devilishly fun and devilishly bad.
