The New Normal
Things have settled into a routine here, and Jim wants me to start writing again. Suuuuuuuuuure. I did open the file last night. I even read the draft.
Do-over.
I wish I could call that on other things, but we all know how that goes.
Since it’s only February, I’m really hoping to get this book out by autumn. My time is filled with other things, scary, heart-breaking things, but we keep moving on. I will write. I may delete also, but that’s nothing new.
Just an update. Things are looki...

Time
My husband has been told he doesn’t have a lot of time left. While there is a third book to The Wildblood, I’m not at all certain when I will finish it. For now, my priorities are family and nothing else. I’m sorry about letting my readers down, but that’s the way it is.
As a side note – if you have been told to get a colonoscopy and have been putting it off, don’t. You think bad things like this only happen to other people. You’re wrong.

Update
No, there is no writing now.
After a series of seemingly unrelated events, my husband ended up in the local hospital on Dec. 1, and was rushed to Providence Memorial in El Paso. He is home now. The cancer we thought was gone, isn’t. We have a tough fight ahead, but the prognosis is good.
I’m certain, at some point, book 3 will continue. It’s a thing I have to write, especially since Jim has already been nagging me to get back to it. Right now, getting a plan in place for his recovery is...

Book Highlight – The Vista
[image error]The Wildblood Series
A Post-Apocalyptic Action Adventure
No one remembers what started the war, the big one. Civilization stopped, and what came next was fueled by rage and fear.
Twenty years on, a tiny refuge, a place called The Vista, may be one of the last vestiges of humanity. Isolated, guarded, and hiding a dark secret, the people have survived World War Last, and they are content with that. Their children, however, are not. The search for others will send them out into a world they know...

Check out the WeWriWa blog for more authors offering to share a snippet of their work. I’ve found many amazing books there.
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged. A few things have happened, writing-wise. First, I’ve put Bloodlines on hold. The storyline simply wasn’t going anywhere, and those characters have a lot to do, in that last book of the trilogy. I can’t even guarantee there won’t be future books in that particular world. So, later, after I have a chance to figure out where it...

Hiatus
My mother passed away unexpectedly this week. I’ll be taking a short hiatus. The books are still being written, and I will be back here soon.

The change from car windows that crank down to windows that you operate by pushing a tiny lever was long in coming for me. My first three cars had cranks.
And to this day, I still struggle to find the right tiny lever. I’m constantly pulling the lever for the back window when I’m trying to open the front window. I also tend to open the passenger window when trying to open the driver’s.
The reason is because I prefer to keep my eyes on the road, not searching for the proper switch. Thus, it...

Check out the amazing authors sharing their creations at the WeWriWa blog. So many great books!
This snippet from Bloodlines is a polite conversation, with a lot of layers to it. Wade is letting his partners eavesdrop. Things are about to get intense.

The flood of information Wade was processing threaded back to Shannon. She offered no response, physical reaction, or otherwise. Later, she would have an opinion, she always did, it was part of her job. Further on, at their quarters...
