N.J. Walters: Love is in the Air
Love is in the air and Valentine’s Day is almost here. February is traditionally a month for lovers, a time to celebrate relationships both new and old. Flowers, candy, and dinner out are traditionally the way many couples celebrate. Others may opt for quiet time away from everyday life to and rekindle the fires of passion. There will be engagements and weddings, celebrations both simple and elaborate.
It can be a lonely time of year if you’re not in a relationship or if you’ve lost your partner through death or divorce. If you’re single—whether by choice or not—it’s a great time to celebrate yourself and all you’ve accomplished in your life. I’m not talking about having a particular job or making a specific amount of money. I’m referring to the friends you’ve made, the challenges you’ve met, the hard times you’ve gotten through. So, take yourself out for dinner, treat yourself to a decadent dessert or your favorite chocolates, maybe take yourself to a movie or concert. You’re worth it.
However you celebrate, or don’t celebrate, I hope you have a wonderful February.
And if you’re looking for a steamy romance read, you might check out my Lone Wolf Legacy werewolf series.
Lone Wolf Legacy Series
About the Author
Who are the lone wolves?
Since the rise of the werewolf, there has always existed a single lone wolf—with pure white, gray, or black fur and eyes that match—who answers to no alpha, belongs to no pack. Merciless and deadly, he wanders the world, both judge and executioner of rogue wolves who senselessly kill, endangering all their kind.
When one dies, another takes its place, awakening to his purpose the first time he shifts to his wolf form. Known by the sign of the lone wolf—a sickle over the heart—the short-handled, circular blade remains as a tattoo on the man and as a mark on the wolf. A lethal combination of intelligence, brutal strength, and keen instinct, he walks a lonely path, shunned by pack, always alone.
For the first time, there are three in the world—white, gray, and black—who all bear the mark on their chests. No one knows why, least of all them…

Gabbi Grey/Gabbi Black: Why I own the Queen of Instalove title (Contest)
Hello, Delilah! Thank you for inviting me here today to discuss my new project. Well…projects? Could go either way. Another anthology! Another charity anthology! Another opportunity for me to stretch my writing muscles!
We’ll start with Tempest’s Teacup. I had a short story plotted — a good one — but I couldn’t get into it. It just wasn’t calling to me. As the time drew near for the stories to be submitted, I worried I’d let the organizers down. They’re lovely ladies who would understand (I was also under some serious pressure with a novel looming — when isn’t a novel looming, though?). Then I remembered a short story I’d written for you, Delilah. It hadn’t struck the right chord, but that was fine. Not everything does. I loved the story, however, and dug it out for a second look.
Never let it be said that anything I write goes to waste.
I liked the story. It had elements of instalove, but was too short — not just for the anthology, but for my liking. The story had been entirely from Mistress Tempest’s point of view, but I realized I needed Romeo’s as well. I tore the story apart, rewrote parts of it, put it back together, and, I believed, had a much stronger story. My editor, God bless her, raced through it in record time, and I got the short story submitted. A day or two late, if I recall. That didn’t make me happy — I really prefer to be on time or early — but I was confident I had a good story. And, of course, I tied it in with both my In Their Eyes BDSM world (Gabbi Black) and my Vancouver Film World (Gabbi Grey).
Except the anthology’s editor came back and said the ending wasn’t satisfying enough (I did what I felt was a solid HFN — Happy For Now). In my head, I knew Tempest and Romeo were a permanent couple. But I didn’t want to give too much away about their future as I plan — loosely plan — to include them in a future story. That meant not telling the readers everything. The editor disagreed and asked me to write an epilogue. I did, she was thrilled, and I plan to remove it when the rights revert.
I had my story.
Before that, though, I’d submitted my Gabbi Grey short story. Now, if Anything’s Pawsible didn’t have swearing and sex, I would call it a sweet romance. This is a very simple book based on my own experience. See, I have two rescue pooches whom I adore. They are beloved by quite a few of my generous and kind neighbors. Just like I know quite a few of their dogs, and I’m always liberal with my praise and affection.
One day, I recounted a story to some of my close friends. My shy girl, Ally, was slowly coming to trust a young man from down the hall. Usually he was walking his dog — chaos incarnate — and so getting quality time wasn’t possible. That day? He was alone and had all the time in the world for her. Slowly, he started with allowing her to sniff. She did, and then licked. She let him pet her gently on the head. Then she permitted scritches down her torso. By the end of the five minutes, she was leaning against him, absorbing the affection and attention. If she’d been a cat, she would’ve been purring.
Finnegan, my other rescue, seemed to sense this was a big moment and hung back, not being at all jealous or wanting the attention for himself.
This was truly a special moment, and I almost cried. Ally used to be far more outgoing, but the pandemic took her back to her early days when she didn’t have stability and a good home. I’ve worked nine years to earn and keep her trust. She doesn’t give it easily to strangers. Well, the young man isn’t a stranger anymore. Now when she sees him, she strains her leash to get to him. She demands many scritches. She adores him.
I told this story to a number of friends, including Plot Whisperer. She said, well, you have to write a story. A curmudgeonly older man who’s given up on love and just has his two rescue dogs. A younger man who loves the dogs instantly and quickly comes to love the older guy as well (not at all implying that I was the older single man jaded by love in this scenario). I’d tucked the idea away but when the instalove anthology came up, I seized the opportunity. I bought a second spot in the anthology so I could tell the story in its entirety. I created Byron and Carter — then Rosebud and Sheffield. I had my story. I love that story. I mean, I love all my stories, but that one is extra special.
So I had my two submissions to this charity anthology. I can’t wait to share the anthology with the world and raise money for a good cause as well.
That’s the tale! Thank you for allowing me to visit, Delilah! I’d love to give away a copy of one of my Gabbi Black BDSM books (there are several to choose from). Just comment and let me know — do you prefer spicy or sweet? Because I’d say my stories are polar opposites and I’m curious what you prefer. Random will choose one lucky commenter. Good luck!

Carter
On my first day in my new condo, I meet a sweet older guy with two adorable dogs. It’s love at first sight on my side—and not just for the dogs. My shy neighbor has given up on finding a partner, so it’s up to me to convince him to give to give love a second chance. Over joyful walks, shared dinners, and little intimacies, he’s warming up. But can I get him to let go of the past and embrace a future with me?
Byron
My dogs adore the cute, younger guy who’s moved in next door. In fact, they can’t get enough of his affection. I’m immune to his charms, of course. I had my heart broken once. I can’t go through that again. Still, the more time we spend together, the more I think that if I ever were to change my mind, Carter would be the man I’d choose.
Anything’s Pawsible is a 15k instalove age-gap, opposites-attract, grumpy/sunshine gay interracial romance short story with a curmudgeon accountant, a Gen Z writer, and two of the cutest dogs ever.
Inside Just For Love: “Tempest’s Teacup” by Gabbi BlackMistress Tempest
The challenge of breaking a disobedient bottom begging for correction at Club Kink has me intrigued. Romeo asserts he’s done something wrong and needs to be punished. That he needs to atone. As we move through our intense scene, I become more and more invested. But if I succeed in breaking him, our interaction may end our connection forever.
Romeo
My disrespectful and selfish behavior has landed me in a heap of trouble. I reach for a second chance in Vancouver after a co-star suggests I submit to a Domme at Club Kink to truly work through the regret threatening to destroy my life. Mistress Tempest offers me an opportunity at redemption. If I go all the way through with it, I might never see her again.
Tempest’s Teacup is an 10k erotic BDSM short story with a formidable Domme, a naïve submissive, and the ultimate redemptive scene.

Sliding Puzzle: Fairytale Castle and The Ferryman (Contest)
I’m not trying to be cruel. Some folks did actually enjoy the last sliding puzzle. LOL!
For me, it was completely frustrating, trying to move the tiles around to see the image. This time, the image will be so worth the effort! Trust me.
Anyway, I love castles. I visited many in Europe while stationed in Germany for seven years. I loved standing on a castle wall, looking over a valley or waterway, and imagining what it was like when it was inhabited. Grim, I suppose, but I prefer the romantic images in my mind.
For a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card, solve the puzzle (if you can!), then tell me something about the image…a story you might tell…or elaborate on some aspect of the castle or the mysterious figure in the foreground. Have fun!

Check out the blurb…
From the outside, Olivia Macomb looks like she leads a charmed life. She’s an up-and-coming influencer who is an heir to the Macomb family fortune, and about to start a lifestyle brand with her childhood sweetheart, Jeff. Then her world gets blown apart by her longtime boyfriend leaving her the morning of their website launch. Not only has he left, but the business she created is all in his name and she’s been left with nothing to show for all her hard work. Now she has to pick up the pieces and find out who she is on her own.
Enter Walker Vinton, the indie pop star who used to date Olivia’s close friend, Paige. When their school throws a big event, Paige asks Walker to be Olivia’s date to give to the gossip bloggers something else to talk about other than Olivia’s broken dreams.
Walker ends up coming to Olivia’s rescue in more ways than one at the party, and a twist of events leads to the two embarking on a fake relationship. Walker and Olivia wind up becoming best friends and she realizes he’s the boyfriend of her dreams.
He helps her build both her brand and her self-esteem back up. Walker even helps her start a new business. However, the lines begin to blur as Olivia’s feelings for Walker are very real. The two share intimate conversations and dreams, but what’s real and what’s fake in this starry world?

Report Card & Open Contests
Last week…
I had an appointment with my heart doctor to catch him up on my cancer journey. I mentioned I might be going in for a hysterectomy soon, and he wants me to get a stress test before I do that. I don’t know whether I want to do that. He said my blood pressure and cholesterol are looking fine (I’m on meds for both). I’ll be meeting with my oncologist and the surgeon before I have that stress test, so I’ll feel them out about whether they think that’s necessary. I don’t like the idea of a chemical stress test, even though he says it’s pretty routine.I continued work on one author’s edits.If that looks like a pretty unproductive week, you’d be right, although I have been puttering around my space putting things away and doing some early spring cleaning. I have to get my writer-butt in gear!This next week…
This week, I’ll be diving back into finishing up Ignition ! Okay, so I said this last week and the week before, but I mean it this time. Seriously, I want to finish it and put it up for pre-order.I have two authors’ edits to work on this week.So far as personal goals—I’m still not ready to diet. I’m still in celebrate mode.

Saturday Puzzle-Contest: Super Bowl Sunday!
I’m not a huge football fan. I used to watch back in the day when my father was alive and huge Arkansas Razorbacks fan. The last time I followed pro ball was when Mike Ditka coached the Bears, and The Refrigerator and McMahon were the heroes of that game. Was that really forty years ago? I never so enjoyed a game, but that was it for me. Not sure why.
My family loves going to the high school and local college games. They love knowing the players and meeting up with friends to watch. The only time we gather for a pro ball game these days is for the Super Bowl. I’m embarrassed to say I’m there for the commercials. The girls love the half-time show, but we stay for the end—if the game is a nail-biter. We pick our sides and love ribbing each other when our favorite team makes a great play and scores.
However, if the power went out tomorrow night, we’d be okay. We’re not that invested. It’s just another chance to sit together and celebrate as a family and maybe eat some finger food (I’ll have to talk someone into hitting the grocery store for some goodies!).
How about you? Are you big fans? Who are you rooting for to win this time around? Are you gathering with friends and family or heading to a sports bar? Solve the puzzle then post your answers below for a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card!

TGIF (Contest)
It’s Friday! If I lived alone and didn’t have young ones still in school, I could see how Friday might just be another day. However, the kids were chomping at the bit this morning to get to school and get the day over with so they could start their weekend. I love that charged feeling in the air. We don’t even need to have any big plans; it’s just nice to have the kids underfoot. And I say that and have to laugh because my mother really, really liked it when kids were in school. She had the house to herself. The quiet had to feel like a daily vacation to her. My three siblings and I were a rambunctious bunch.
I don’t feel that way. I love and like the three girls—all of them so different from each other. They get on each other’s nerves, but there’s nothing better than seeing them when they get along. Karoake night in the living room is a true celebration. Even meal times are a celebration with them around. The 16-year-old always leads the conversations once we’re all sitting around that table. “So, Mom, how was your day? Nina?” That’s the start and sometimes we pull out conversation game cards and ask questions, like “If you could meet anyone in history, who would you choose?” The answers are always fun and never the same. Anyway, TGIF! I can’t wait for the weekend to begin!
For a chance to win a download of your choice of stories from my backlist, tell me whether “Friday” is still a day you celebrate.

Clear My Bookshelf Giveaway
I’ve had several guests this week on this blog, so I’m happy to have a day to pop in and say hi again. I’m trudging along, editing, thinking about writing, and trying not to watch the news (impossible!). I have an appointment with my cardiologist today. Boy does he have a lot to catch up on with me—I haven’t seen him since early last year. I know at the end he’ll give me marching orders—lose weight, walk more, blah-blah.
Anyway, it’ll be a busy day. Gotta get started!
As a way to solve my book-hoarding problem and make room in my bookshelves, I’m continuing my Clear My Bookshelf Giveaway! I have a ton of my books, collected over my 20 years of publishing. So, rather than consign them to the burn barrel I thought maybe a bunch of giveaways would be fun. As the first giveaways last summer seemed to garner a lot of interest, I’m happy to offer more opportunities for readers to win a signed copy of one of my old books! I bet if I ask pretty-please, my daughter will be on board with making a trip to the post office for me. She loves it when I volunteer her for stuff. 
For a chance to win a randomly chosen by me (I might say, do you want a western, an erotic novel, or a paranormal?) book, which I will of course sign and fill with a bookmark painted by me, tell me how the new year is treating you so far!

Rhonda Lee Carver: Embracing Hope (Excerpt)
At an early age, Rhonda fell in love with romance novels, knowing one day she’d write her own love story. Life took a short detour, but she decided to dive in and write when the story ideas were no longer contained. Her first plot was on a dirty napkin she found buried in her car. Eventually, she ran out of napkins. With a baby on one hip and a laptop on the other, she made a dream into reality—one word at a time.
Her specialty is men who love to get their hands dirty and women who are brilliant, strong, and flawed. She loves writing about the everyday hero.
When Rhonda isn’t crafting sizzling manuscripts, you will find her busy editing novels, blogging, juggling kids and animals (too many to name), dreaming of a beach house, and keeping romance alive. Oh, and drinking lots of coffee to keep up with her hero and heroine.
Three fun facts about Rhonda Lee Carver:
She had odd food cravings while she was pregnant. Sardines in mustard sauce. Penrose sausages. Tuna. And brussel sprouts.She has an unhealthy fear of red ants.She must have peanut butter sandwiches with her chili.What is Rhonda Lee Carver’s newest release?
Sneak Peek:
“You’re missing out,” she said in a soft, semi-husky voice that lifted the hairs on his neck.
“Really?” He pushed away the remaining basket of fries and wiped his fingers off a napkin. “What am I missing?” He couldn’t stop staring at her sparkling eyes, reminding him of a clear blue sky on a pretty summer day. She had a scattering of light freckles across her nose and the tops of her cheeks, the same color as the bronzed highlights in her hair. And that smile…no doubt stole some hearts along the way.
He wondered how old she was? Thirty, maybe? Something about how she carried herself gave the impression that she could be older.
“The taste of that burger. It’s meant to be savored,” she said, showing off a row of pearly white teeth against her sun-bronzed skin. “You ate it in record time.”
“Anything that takes longer than ten minutes to eat is called fine dining, a luxury that I wouldn’t know much about.”
She leaned in slightly closer. “A burger and fries are considered fine dining around these parts.”
“Then pardon my bad manners, ma’am. How can I make it up to you? What are you drinking? It’s on me.”
“I’ll take my usual, Jenna,” she said to the bartender.
“You have a usual, so does that mean you hang out here often? Entertaining the crowd with your bull riding skills and dining etiquette tips.”
She looked at him while she tucked her bottom lip between her teeth. “You were watching, huh?”
“Who wasn’t?” He cocked a brow.
“I need to show these boys how bull riding is done.” She picked up her drink and slurped it up through the paper straw. “Sometimes they need a reminder that a woman can do anything a man can do, and most of the time better.” She twirled a long strand of her wavy hair around her finger.
“Oh, that statement does have its limitations, but I’m sure you’re right, mostly. These fellows won’t ever forget that you can ride a bull. I can damn well guarantee that.”
“I like to leave a lasting impression.” She locked her gaze with his.
He liked her confidence.
“Mission complete.”
Yeah, he most certainly wanted to learn more about this intriguing woman.

January into February (Contest)
Work-related:
Again, I didn’t write a single word in all of January, but that was the plan—wait until after I recovered from the last of my chemotherapy sessions. Chemo sucked away all my energy and ambition. It wasn’t until well past mid-month that the aftereffects of my last chemo session on December 30th waned. And then I dragged my feet as I started thinking about what I wanted to accomplish writing-wise this year.I completed 1 editing project for another author in January.I settled on a theme and sent out the call for submissions for the next Boys Behaving Badly Anthology— Burn! So, yeah, it was a light month of work, but I’m feeling so much better, and my brain is re-engaging!Health-related:
I underwent a PET scan to see how my cancer had reacted to the chemo and got the amazing news that I’m now in remission from my cancer. Further, something I didn’t think would happen because I had far too much cancer everywhere is now within reach. It may be possible to have my girlie parts removed, which would yank out the source of my cancer. Not that it might not be lurking something else, microscopically, but right now the only place where it is detectable is in my uterus. It’s got to go!After that good news, I spent the rest of the month…resting. I can finally get deep, restful sleep, so I’m catching up!Happiness-related:
My family, all of whom have been astonishingly good to me over the months of my treatment, are now expecting me to pick up some slack. LOL. I’m doing the occasional dishes and keeping my own spaces clean. It makes me feel productive, and I know my dd needs some relief.I’ve been working on organizing my art studio, going from table to table, shelf to shelf, putting things where they belong and clearing working spaces.I painted this month. Not much, but here are a few small pieces I completed:
For work-related, I plan:
To complete Ignition before the end of the month and publish it. I was able to persuade Amazon to give me back my pre-order ability (Yay!), but I’ll wait until I finish the book before I let you know it’s out there. Writing is a little elusive still, which has made me feel a little…not afraid, but hesitant to slap dates on things.To plot stories for the new year for my current series, Montana Bounty Hunters: Yellowstone, MT and We are Dead Horse.To complete 3 editing projects in February.To look at books I already have out that I might bundle together or publish in print. I’ll be assembling another Ultra collection of short stories for publication in March.To begin work on the next We Are Dead Horse book, Built Like Mack . The plan is to release it in March.For health-related, I plan:
To meet with a surgeon at UAMS to discuss the possibility of getting my girlie parts removed. The appointment has been made—it’s happening at the end of this month.To begin again watching what I eat to drop a few more pounds. I’ve rejoined WW. Now, I just need to knuckle under and do the work.To add physical activities to my daily routine so that I can regain some muscle tone. I plan to begin some daily chair yoga exercises and spend some time on the exercise bike.For happiness-related, I plan:
To get ready for the #100dayproject, which begins on February 23rd. This will be the 5th year I’ve participated in the challenge. I can’t wait! I’ll be going through art books and Pinterest pages, looking for ideas for projects.To clean up my art room, which was a disaster! While I was feeling like hell, I tossed supplies on table tops rather than storing them properly, eating up my workspace.I have plans to do an online oil pastels class and perhaps make some more collage fodder.To spend time with the family—more movies, meals, and flea market adventures!ContestComment on anything you’ve read in this post. Tell me what you’re doing to make yourself happier and healthier, or tell me what you plan to read in February …
Like I said, comment on anything for a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card!
