What are you doing to keep warm?

Me? I’m huddled under the covers with a good book and my snuggly animals.

Tuesday’s Ramblings…

Sorry I haven’t been around a lot. I’ve actually been writing. *gasp* I know, right?

The writing is going well. If things keep moving at the same rate, I should be done with a very rough draft by next week. This book will need some heavy re-writes. It’d also gotten a little spicier than expected. Can’t wait to finish and find out how it all turns out!

I rewarded myself this weekend and saw the movie Thor. I thought the first movie was okay, but the second movie knocked it out of the park for me...

Happy Halloween!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I love this time of year.Watching bad movies, eating candy and weird superstitions abound. I can’t seem to get enough of theparanormal world. Vampires, werewolves or witches, I’m not picky. I love them all. I’ve picked up some good books (and movies)in the last few weeks. Now, I just need to find time to read (and watch) them. Hubby and I are watching After Earth tonight.

Writing update: I’m still working on Coveted, my Scottish werewolf book. Writing is going slow. I wanted t...
