Happy August!

Yikes. Can you believe it's the eighth month already? The year sure is going fast. As they always do.
Well, we had a great weekend. We went on some cool walks, had some lovely meals, hung out together, and caught up on our favourite shows. :) Which is always a cool thing. Now, if we could only do the same for BURN NOTICE! :/ I love that show, but we're a season behind.
Anyway. Since it's not only a new week, but also a new month... I've decided to start writing a new novel. It's the second...

THREE DAYS TO DEAD by Kelly Meding

They'll never see her coming. . . .
When Evangeline Stone wakes up naked and bruised on a cold slab at the morgue—in a stranger's body, with no memory of who she is and how she got there—her troubles are only just beginning. Before that night she and the two other members of her Triad were the city's star bounty hunters, mercilessly cleansing the city of the murderous creatures living in the shadows, from vampires to shape-shifters to trolls. Then something terrible happened that not only...

It's still cold...

...but now that the sun's back, it makes everything better. :)
Besides, as my daughter reminded me this morning, we only have one more month of winter left. Yay. Something to be excited about. Soon, the days will start to get longer, and the chill in the air will only make an appearance early in the morning and at night. Yeah, something to look forward to.
Anyway. Yesterday, I finished the second round (which also happened to be the errata stage) of edits for IRIS . Sure, I ended up finding...

THE FIRST DAYS by Rhiannon Frater

The morning that the world ends, Katie is getting ready for court and housewife Jenni is taking care of her family. Less than two hours later, they are fleeing for their lives from a zombie horde.
Thrown together by circumstance, Jenni and Katie become a powerful zombie-killing partnership, mowing down zombies as they rescue Jenni's stepson, Jason, from an infected campground.
They find sanctuary in a tiny, roughly fortified Texas town. With almost no hope left outside the walls, Jenni, Katie span

Well, new week...

What have you got on offer? Will it be more horrible rain, or will the sun stay with us this time? I'm hoping for some lovely sunny weather, for a change.
Anyway. I actually allocated this week--which also happens to be the last week of July, gasp--for the last round of IRIS edits. And they actually arrived in my Inbox on Thursday night. Once again, cutting it very close, but I've set myself the goal of getting it done and emailed by Wednesday afternoon. And if I can reach page 200/355 by the ...

MATTERS OF THE BLOOD by Maria Lima

Keira Kelly, half-breed descendant of a powerful paranormal family has chosen to live apart from her clan and among humans in the Texas Hill Country. When she experiences a prophetic vision that foretells the vicious murder of her human cousin, Marty Nelson, she vows to determine the truth. Keira begins to uncover long-concealed secrets and risks alienating everyone she knows, from her former lover, Sheriff Carlton Larson, to the enigmatic Adam Walker, once a friendly acquaintance and now...

Another Rainy Day

Yeah. Looks like this yucky, wet weather is going to stick around for a while longer. Not too long, I hope. I'm already over it. :(
I've got a quota of two rainy days before I'm totally sick of them.
Remember those guest blog posts I wrote the other day? Well, they're both live:
My post about Sci-Fi is at LovLivLife Reviews, andMy post about Christmas in July is at Happily Ever After.
If you have a spare sec, pop on over and say 'Hi'. :D

Well, yesterday turned out to be quite a relaxing day. I...

So...

You know how most people chat about the weather when they don't have anything else to talk about? Well, I talk about the weather all the time. Seriously. I like to talk about it when it's nice, when it's crappy, and even in between. It makes no difference to me. I just like it. ;)

LMAO.

At the moment, we're in the middle of winter and have been having some pretty shitty weather. Like, the sun might be out for several days, and then the rain sets in for a lot longer. As well as some crazy-ass...

EAT SLAY LOVE by Jesse Petersen

Sarah and David have survived the zombie apocalypse. They stood side by side and fought the undead, mad scientists, and even bionic monsters until the unthinkable happened. A zombie bite. But not even that could stop them. Now, with a possible cure in hand, they're headed east, looking for a safe zone behind the rumored "Wall." They're feeling pretty optimistic.That is until Dave stops sleeping and starts lifting huge objects.

Eat. Slay. Love.Because they haven't got a prayer.
This is the...

Trying to get back on track

Yep. I'm in zombie-reading territory again, and I'm lovin' it. :)

Well. My daughter went back to school yesterday, but I had several things that I needed to do, and didn't have a chance to squeeze in any blogging. It's been happening a lot lately. Which I don't like.
But the last few months have been super-busy with so much stuff, and I don't think things are going to slow down because I've still got edits coming, and plan to write several more stories during this second half of the year...
