Making a Recovery

I know. It has been a while. But about three weeks ago I had to go ahead and have surgery on my foot. The arthritis in it was pulling my toes down to where I was walking on the tips of my toes instead of the pads. So I’m hobbling around and taking twice as long to do anything. And I think it takes twice the energy as well.

My usual desk chair is one of the kneeling chairs. But since I’m still all bandaged, I can’t put any weight on my toes or bend them at all, so I’m using this other one. And it puts me at an odd angle, with the desk too high to touch type conveniently. So with my foot propped up under the desk, and my hands about six inches too high to be comfortable, I’ve put off any writing until I can do it with a little more ease.

Not to worry! I’ve been doing another read through of the next book in the Gambler’s Folly series. I can at least read while sitting on the couch.

Of course, the puppy thinks what I really need is a dog on my foot…

The Book Sale is still on over at Smashwords, so go on over and get the next book in whichever series you’re reading. Or start the other one!

Wishing you a wonderful week and I’l try to get back into the swing here in another week.

Happy Memorial Day

Just a quick note to you to wish you a wonderful day today.

Be happy, stay safe, and I’ll see you in June!

Or then again, maybe not. This is Georgia we’re talking about.

Let me explain. About a week ago, I built a fire in the living room to take off the chill. A few days before that, it had been up near 80F outside, so I had no firewood in. We all thought we were finished with the heat for the year. Just in case, I brought a little more wood up.

And then it turned warm. All right, not warm. HOT!

Three days ago we had two days of 80 degree weather again. Ir had rained, so outdoors was like a sauna. I turned on the AC not so much to cool down the house as to draw the humidity out of the air. Same thing the next day.

Yesterday the high was 63 with drizzle all day. Today may reach 70. I don’t know yet. But the humidity is once again terrible.

In the meantime, I’ve been doing some writing and some reading.

If you like murder mysteries, check out the Widow’s Island novellas. (I’ve been binge reading.)

On the home front, I’ve been writing an article about Gambler’s Folly and working on Tiger’s Tempest. My editor is working on Ben of Blackstone’s Forge.

Tiger’s Tempest?

Think Tiger shifters meeting on Gambler’s Folly. She’s a forensic photographer. He is president of the security division for his families pharmaceutical corporation and working with Interpol on counterfeit drugs. They hadn’t intended to get married when he offered to play tour guide for her skiing and photography trip to Crystal Mountains. It just sort of…well, happened.

And Ben of Blackstone’s Forge?

Ben’s family has a way with iron, which makes their trade as blacksmiths considerably easier. He’d always thought he and Deborah would marry, but when he left the village to finish his apprenticeship, something happened. Now she will scarcely speak to them. Both his father and hers are rather strongly suggesting they each need to find a partner, but the only woman he wants as his wife is Deborah. And because of what happened while Ben was away, Deborah has decided she will never marry. Until their fathers get together and come up with a solution.

Wish me luck. With this crazy weather and the hectic schedule I’ve had lately, I’ll need all the help I can get.

In the meantime, catch up on the Gambler’s Folly and the Esperance series. Both are available at Amazon and Smashwords, as well as most other online retailers.

Have a great weekend!

And as always,

Don’t Forget

It’s May!

All right, who else remembers the musical, Camelot? With Julie Andrews?

Every time the first of May comes around, I think of the song from Camelot–The Lusty Month of May. It is such a happy, upbeat song as we head into spring and look forward to summer.

Now if the weather will cooperate… I put tomatoes out, thinking it would certainly be warm enough at night for them. But I’m keeping an eye on the temperatures. Last night it got down to 42 out here. If it gets much lower, I’ll have to start covering them.

In the meantime, I’m still working on Tiger’s Tempest. I’m also revamping Moonlight and Shadows as a novella for Smashwords.

So stay tuned for all of those coming up. Tiger’s Tempest will be a while. It is in progress and waiting in queue behind three other Gambler’s Folly books yet to be released.

But don’t forget the rest of the Gambler’s Folly series or the Esperance books on Amazon!

Have a wonderful month of May!

And as always,

Don’t Forget…

What a Week

It seems everyone I know has been having a tough week this week. Not sure what’s going on, but it has been chaos.

In the meantime, I’ve been working on Tiger’s Tempest for the Gambler’s Folly series, and also on a new cover for Sultonna Nadine’s book, Master of the Fleet. While I love the original cover, I don’t feel it sells the whole story.

Want to give us a hand?

Go over to Sultonna Nadine’s blog and see what you think. Drop a note in the comments just for fun.

I also need to reformat Master of the Fleet for Smashwords. Apparently I never formatted it for them, so it can’t go in the premium catalog as is. So there’s something for next week.

Editing on Ben of Blackstone’s Forge is coming along. It will be Book 5 in the Esperance Series. Set into the story like Morgan, this is the love story between the blacksmith’s son and the farmer’s daughter. Everyone has thought they would marry since they were children. But when Ben goes away to finish his apprenticeship at another forge, something comes between them. Ben has no idea what it is, but Deborah will have nothing to do with him.

And then their fathers get together with the court and arrange a marriage between them.

Watch for Blackstone’s Forge!

How is everyone this Easter weekend? I know it is a busy time of year, what with holidays and springtime gardening, and all the other things going on this time of year. In our case, cold weather and rain.

We’ve made it to Round 2 in the Allauthor cover contest for April, with Too Many Talents.

If you voted for Too Many Talents in the first round, thank you! I appreciate all your support. I never thought I would go on to another orund.

But I need your help again, if you can spare a moment. Since I’m in the second round, please go over and give me another vote!

And if you haven’t read the books from Esperance, go on over to Amazon or Smashwords and give them a try. If you’d like an excerpt, just check out the excerpt page. I haven’t put anything up for Too Many Talents yet, but I believe all the others are there.

Have an enjoyable week and don’t forget to send a vote my way!

Have You Read…

Master of the Fleet by Sultonna Nadine?

A fantasy romance set in an alternate universe, on what we know as the coast of Oregon, we enter a world where magic is simply a part of everyday life. Our MC is Richard, heir to the family shipping business, and Master of the Fleet.

What does he do?

With his magical abilities with wind and water, along with a touch of mental telepathy, he helps keeps his ships safe out on the open seas. Also known as a weather shaper, he can correct air currents, calm stormy seas, or help change the weather when necessary.

The love of his life, or so he thinks, is Anne-Marie, a seamstress in town. Though they’ve been seeing each other for nearly two years, she has yet to accept–or refuse–his proposal.

But she never intends to marry. Men are to be taken for all you can get before moving on the next mark.

Things turn ugly when she convinces Richard to come with her to her home kingdom to celebrate the fall festival. A bit too much wine, all the excitement, and a bit of temper end with her exchanging marriage vows with Richard after being bound to him by a blood oath.

Richard is now married to a woman who says she can never love him. She’s bound to a man who has reason to despise her.

Love may have an uphill battle with these two.

Come with me and follow these two as romance works its magic, even in face of the odds.

Want a peek?

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead.
