So what’s been happening around here? Oh, my…
First, I went down to our daughter’s house to get our two black kittens spayed at her vet. She recommended them to us, and it gave me a chance to get away for a visit. Of course the first time we tried this, the cold weather hit Georgia and they closed the clinic because of the possibility of freezing rain. So one visit turned into two. But both have been spayed now, and all are recuperating nicely at home.
Next, my husband has finally been able to retire, even if his company kind of fumbled and postponed it by a couple weeks. And then he’s had his second shoulder replacement surgery to fix his other shoulder. He is also doing well and recuperating well in his recliner.
Next up is my surgery, to fix the hammer toe issue I have on my left foot. I had the right one done last year and hoped maybe the other foot would be fine. Alas, it was not to be. So here we go again.
In the meantime, I’m doing my final edits for Old Flame, the next book in the Gambler’s Folly series. It’s a second chance romance, with shifters (of course). And a billionaire romance, with a bit of dominance. Of course, he is a bear shifter…
I’ll try to keep you posted on everything going on, but if I take a while to get back to you, at least you have an idea of what’s happening on the home front.

My alter ego, Sultonna Nadine, has a new book, Whiskey Jug Genie, ready for pre-order. Right now it’s in ebook format, but will soon be available in print as well.
So, what is this book?
Imagine an old whiskey jug, dark brown, and salt glazed from somewhere in the late 19th or early 20th century. Now imagine a young apothecary owner touring the American Southeast, who collects old jugs and bottles to decorate his shop. And he falls in love with this jug.
What he doesn’t know is that it holds one of the djinn–a genie–inside. Trapped inside. By a curse some 200 years ago. A genie who has been out of touch with the world for around 200 years.
Now imagine the shop owner and the jug in a London apartment, as he unstops the jug and releases a redneck genie into the modern world. A genie who insists his name is Bubba, and who can’t get too far away from his jug because of the curse.
While Martin may have a bit of magical and psychic ability, he knows nothing about curses. And Bubba knows nothing about electricity, automobiles, television, or telephones. To him, the whole world is run on some weird form of magic.
Join these two as they try to sort out this curse, while Bubba learns about the world of the 21st century. And as Martin tries to kindle more of a romance with a lovely lady who doesn’t know anything about magic or the djinn.
Where can you pre-order?
Whiskey Jug Genie is available at Books2Read! with links to all the retailers listing it.
So come on in and join the fun as these three try to unravel the problems brought about by a redneck genie in London!
And I wish the weather would decide what season we’re going to be in. A week ago, it seemed like late autumn was here. And then two days ago, summer came back.
But in the meantime, what is everyone reading?
As most of you know, I usually write paranormal romance novels. But sometimes I branch out, and this is one of those times. My alter ego, Sultonna Nadine has a new short story out you might want to check out. Set in Wyoming, one of my favorite places, we meet DEA agent Shane Shadowstalker.
But out there in the high desert, among the sage, can you believe what your eyes are telling you? Or is it all an illusion brought about by the wind, the moonlight, and the shadows?
Yes, summer is beginning to think about winding down for the year. While the evenings have been a little cooler, the days are still hot and humid, thanks to the sporadic rain showers. Of course, the 2 1/2 inches of rain we got a couple nights ago really boosted that humidity. We’re getting ready for my husband’s shoulder surgery later this week, so we’ve had appointments with surgeons, the hospital, you name it, which is why I’ve been absent recently.
So, what have I been up to lately?
Editing. Not my most favorite thing, but it has to be done. At least if I take some time wit it, my editor won’t have a heart attack.
I’ve been through Gregor Thayne, another book from Esperance. This was the first read through and while it had some issues, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it might be. Now, I’ll ;ut it aside for a while before coming back to it. Kind of let my mind take a break.
Next up is my final edit of Lady Calloway, from Sultonna Nadine. I’m still trying to decide on the final title for the book. I’m several edits into this book, so now it’s just finding all the loose ends and spelling errors I missed the first few times. What usually happens is I rewrite something and delete the old version. But once in a while, at 2 am, I don’t get all of something deleted, which leaves it sounding rather strange.
In the meantime, Ben of Blackstone’s Forge is coming along. It will be the fifth book from Esperance, featuring the son of a blacksmith with a unique family Talent. He has iron under his control. His love life on the other hand needs some help.
Have a wonderful week. Stay cool. And pick up something to read this evening.
