A Highland Wolf Wedding Edtis Ongoing Now!

 I used one of the castle ruins to describe the heroine's ancestral home that I visited in Scotland.



I'm working on edits for A Highland Wolf Wedding.  Had to put Jaguar Fever aside for the moment. Back to the blue and green kilt that is the MacNeill's.


Here the Scots are putting on a show!

But I'm still wishing for some snow and a mountain, and a kilted guy skiing past me--as he's uphill and I'm downhill from him. :)

Have a super great TGIF!

Back to loving a Highlander!

Ready for Kilted Skiers???

 I'm ready for snow! And if a kilted skier was part of the scenery, I'd doubly go for it!

Determined to avoid King Henry I’s randy advances, Lady Anice of Brecken attempts escape, wishing to find a Highlander to escort her home to her castle in Glen Affric where she will rule until she can find a laird worthy of her hand. Laird Malcolm MacNeill desires an English bride to improve his standing with those in power. But rescuing the Scottish lass from an escape attempt casts him into deadly political intrigue when the king sends Malcolm and his brothers to escort the lady home and investigate the disappearance of some of her staff. Now he must protect the king’s ward without losing his heart to the willful lass, or he could very well earn His Majesty’s wrath…and lose far more.


The Accidental Highland Hero followed, and I'm currently working on the 3rd in the series, Dougald MacNeill's story!

Woohoo, Susan S gave a brilliant review of The Accidental Highland Hero!!! Thanks so much to Susan of Love Romance Passion.
This spicy historical will steal your breath and capture your heart.

Tomorrow my daughter and SIL are coming for a visit and so we're going to celebrate the end of her internship and she passed her Masters exit exam! :) So definitely a time for celebration! She still has to finish summer classes and one class in the fall, and then that's it!

Have a super great Thursday! It's my vampire night. :(

New Book Marks In!

I didn't think it was possible, but Sourcebooks did it! They toggled between my wolves and jaguars and did a beautiful job!!!

You see how the SEAL and the Highlander wolves have the jaguar wedged in between them? But then the BIG jaguar next to them keeps them in line. :)

Hope you all have a super hump day!!! And you thought I wasn't going to give you a shifter hunk, didn't you!!! Well, here he is. Can you tell which he is? It's easy. He's got the color of jaguar eyes. Yep, that's exactly what he is. You didn't think so, did you? But it's true!

Believe me! I know. LOL :)

At the End of Your Rope?

Let go! He's trying to reel you in, to save you from yourself. Oh, I know, you just want to see how hard he'll try to get you over to seeing his way of things.Or...it's research. You know. To check out his muscles. Great job! Thanks for sharing. But really, you can let go now! And enjoy what comes next after the tug-of-war match. It's all right to lose sometimes. There's always another day to try again. You gave it your all. Let go.


If only we could see the world through a heart-shaped hedge. 



Or relax under the full moon.

We can. Just grab up a book and let it take us away.

What? You're still playing tug-of-war??? Some people just never know when to give up!

Have a great Tuesday!

It's Not Monday Again!!!

Today we're having a science fair at the library. It will be a nightmare. Oh sure, fun for the kids and parents, but we are already swamped!!

We are starting to have more books in the back that need to be brought up front to shelve than on our shelves! Then everyone says, "It shows they're checked in, but I can't find them." Welcome to our library. The only one in the state of Texas that has more checked-in books that can't be found. Oh, sure we have them. But have you seen them stacked up on the floor in the back??? The sorting shelves were full a long time ago.

So we have to put the books we can't find on request so they can be found at the other libraries where they have a very small percentage of patron visits and checkouts.

Then? We're swamped with holds. With checking them in. With getting THEM shelved in our hold shelves.

*weary smile*

We have an automatic book drop now that checks the books in. But we still have to check them in. Why? Because it doesn't sort books into separate bins for the different libraries. It doesn't check to see if movie cases have movies in them. Or that audiobooks are returned with all their cds. Or if the items coming in are on hold for someone else. Or if the books are soaking wet, like someone dropped them in the bathtub while reading and taking a soak. Or if the book has missing pages, or colored on, or written on, or highlighted, or run over with their car--yes, we had a book with tire tracks on it--very warped book. Or they allowed their wolf pup to teethe on it. Or...well, you get the point. The book drop isn't human.

When we got all these new-fangled gadgets--the self-check is great!--we had patrons saying the library wouldn't need us any more.

Right.

We are so swamped we can't get caught up. And no, we don't get to read books all day! *big grin*

So this is me on Monday--wishing I could be this puppy and not at work!

Maybe this is the way to deal with a Monday!


Thanks so Bonnie for the kilted Darth Vader!

A Cowboy can be a Wolf, Too!

Yeah, doesn't he have wolfish looking eyes? He might not be ready to settle down, but if there's a she-wolf around, he might change his mind.

With a she-wolf, this is what happens! :) 



Have a super fun Sunday! I'm off to have lunch with my coworkers and see Brave and have fun listening to the brogue!

Are you doing anything special for Sunday? Wanna hook up with a cowboy wolf???

No Highlander in Your Life? Here's the Solution!

Okay, this is for all of us who can't get the hunky Highlander to come home with us. We can have this Scottish Man apron and have that special man in our life wear it so we can fantasize that he looks like that under the apron. :)


And then he'll shift when we need him to. :)

Have a great Saturday!

I'm off to work.

Hunks in Kilts...Yes!

Don't you love a man in a kilt? Who looks like this???

I'm writing about jaguars and I need to keep focused here, until I saw...HIM. And then there went my focus. But he's all focused, isn't he! :) On YOU!

*sigh* I can't help it. When a man looks this good in a kilt, and with a sword on top of that...I'm ready to take up with a Highlander!

I know, I know. I'm soooo fickle!

Oh and for great summer reads, at USA Today's Happy Ever Blog here are some great titles!

Have a super great Friday!

Time to REALLY Enjoy a Thursday!

I bet you all want to have his back, eh???



 Isn't he adorable?

I
Thursdays are meant for loving.


And hugs. In this case, the monkey's got the kitten's back. But Vishous's? I'm afraid there's going to be a cat fight as to who gets HIS back! :)

Have a terrific Thursday!!!
