Red Crepe Myrtle in Bloom

My red crepe myrtle in bloom! It’s always the latest to bloom, and didn’t notice until I got home from the hospital and realized it was finally fully flowering!

Hope your day is sunny and great!

Uh-oh! Someone Was Left out in the Cold!

I’ve been working on the book cover for Wolf Heir. It’s almost done. Yay!

I made potato salad yesterday–German potato salad, not that sweet stuff. But ran out of mayonnaise. Ugh. So I was back at the grocery store this morning.

I’m just mostly chilling. I can’t do yard work, although I really want to. They don’t want me exposed to the dirt. It killed me to see all the beautiful miniature roses and other flowers and not take some home. lol

I think the antibiotics I’m taking for the pneumonia are making me sick. I have to take them all day long.

Have a truly beautiful day!!

A Review at Fresh Fiction for What a Wolf Wants!

“A new wolf arrives in the red wolf community of Oregon” Reviewed by Clare O’Beara
Posted July 4, 2025

https://freshfiction.com/review.php?id=91848

With a spread of characters, an established shifter community and some creeping paranoia as matters go wrong, this is a detailed look at modern crime in an unusual setting. I had fun reading Terry Spear’s romance among the red wolves, in which WHAT A WOLF WANTS becomes quite clear.

Mission turns meet cute when a handsome Red wolf special agent accidentally breaks down the door to the wrong house. Good thing the she-wolf is interested and happy to help him with his case.

Red wolf and DEA Special Agent Ethan Masterson is on a mission to take down the drug gang that murdered his parents. On his last Portland, Oregon mission, he storms the wrong house—one that fellow red wolf Charlene Cheswick rents—and now he’s got a lot to do to make it up to her. And he’s eager to do it!

Charlene has never met an alpha wolf who tries so hard to get on her good side. She’s totally intrigued, but the next thing she knows, she’s signing up to help him with his case. Even though she’s a former homicide detective, this is a dangerous business and a mole in the organization isn’t making life easier for them. They have to take down the gang before they can concentrate on their happily ever after.

Praise for Terry Spear’s USA Today bestselling paranormal romance:

Started working on Wolf Heir’s cover. I just couldn’t write any further until I could see what they looked like. Now I can go back in and describe them.

Still not feeling well, though I’m breathing better. But still have pneumonia.

Hope your day is going great!

When Red Wolves Encounter a Black Bear

When black bears steal red wolves’ berries, it can make for a great cliffhanger.

–What a Wolf Wants

My blog is shared on Paranormal Romance Book Blogs, which is pretty cool!

https://bloggers.feedspot.com/paranormal_romance_book_blogs

Well, I saw the doctor yesterday and had the CT scan. He’s worried that I haven’t had chemo in 3 weeks, so I have to have a bone marrow biopsy today, ugh, to see if the cancer is coming back. It’s a Catch-22. I need my immune system, which is in bad shape, to help the antibiotics kick out the pneumonia in my left lung. The CT scan showed that the infection was half the size it was on June 19, but still occupied a significant part of the lung. *sigh* If I don’t have chemo, the cancer can come back. If I do have the chemo, it will destroy any immune system I have.

The bacteria that’s in my lung is antibiotic-resistant, so I need my immune system to help fight it! So the doctor is in a quandary. And I’m in limbo. He will see me next Wednesday after the biopsy results come back. We shall see.

Hope your day is super glorious!

Does She Catch Him?

I feel better this morning, no results on scope yet, argh, though they said they were quick. Dr is waffling about me going home today or tomorrow or….. who knows. So it’s all up in the air. I do feel much better. And I would like to go home for a while, while my lungs clear up before I start the week of chemo horror and then the stem cell transplant, but they’re giving me huge amounts of potassium and when they woke me early this morning, I think the nurse said I’m getting blood again.

So I can see why they might want to keep me longer. *sigh*

I might even work on my stories today. That’s what happens when I begin to feel better. But I hate being in limbo.

I have been trying to come up with a Halloween wolf story.

And I was going to get my walk out of the way this morning, but my dumb IV thingy has been unplugged, so I only have <30 minutes on it, and I have to wait for it to charge up. I want to do it early, before everyone fills the halls. The one morning my daughter was here and we walked, they were moving old couches out and putting new ones in, so talk about dodging stuff!

Hope your day is awesome!

In a Whimsical World…

You can make it anything you want it to be.

Well, I got really sick a couple of Sundays ago. I was supposed to do more chemo that week, get the new triple picc line in, and be admitted to the hospital Sunday, yesterday.

Instead, I was running 103-degree fever, throwing up, and calling my daughter to come get me and take me to the hospital. I’ve been there ever since. Today is the first day I’ve felt halfway well.

They learned I had an extremely dangerous bacteria in my blood that is becoming antibiotic resistant, but after several days, they cleared it up. Yay! Then I have pneumonia. I’m getting blood this morning, and then they’re doing a bronchoscopy to see what’s going on with my lungs. Then they will hopefully send me home so my lungs can heal, and we’ll be back on track for the week of intense chemo and the stem cell transplant.

Fingers crossed.

Last week was supposed to be an easy week. ugh

Hope your day is going great!!!

Black Cat Wannabe Black Jaguar

I took the photo of the neighbor’s cat in my yard and then artified it with a jungle setting.

I haven’t felt like doing photo art in a long time, so I’m glad to be doing some more of it.

I also was working on typing up notes I had written in the hospital for The Chosen Fae back in March but never had time to type them up. So I now have 6,000+ words on that book. Woohoo!

I ran to the grocery store to get some things I needed and gas for trips to Houston.

We’re expecting more rain this afternoon. I wanted to walk, but it’s already too hot and muggy.

Hope you have a really cool day!!! Happy caturday!

A Bee on Zinnia

The bee was so busy, he didn’t budge even though I was right on top of him, taking the photo. 🙂

They keep saying we need to walk and engage in various exercises so that we can heal faster. But it’s hard when you have no energy. However, I walked this morning. The rains had cooled it down a bit, and yesterday it rained all day, so I couldn’t walk. But I got to see the green heron again. I tried taking a couple of pictures of him from a distance with my phone. I hope one turns out.

Additionally, I captured the moon’s reflection in the pond and took pictures of mushrooms that had appeared due to the rain, making the walk an amazing adventure.

Hope your day goes great!!!

Dream a Little Dream!

I made it through the 13-hour day at the hospital. The nausea medicine they gave me stopped me from getting sick from the chemo. Yay! And when I left at 8:30, it only took me 43 minutes to get home because it was so late. So that was nice.

I have a short day of bloodwork and seeing the doctor today. Yay!!!

I’m off to work on Wolf Heir. I should have yesterday, but I just couldn’t.

Hope your day is going great!!!
