What I’m reading…

Updated to read: I picked out a lovely urban fantasy to go head to head with Mona Lisa Awakening, but then I found out that it was book two. Too bad, because book two sounded great. Unfortunately, I don’t own book one. *pouts*



If I would’ve know, I would have purchased the book earlier with my amazon order. Much too late now. Bummer.





I re-organized one of my bookshelves to make room for last weeks order and found some long forgotten books. I read one of Sunny’s books for a contest andliked it s...

I did it! Oh, gosh, did I ever.


Confessions of a bookworm.



You probably guessed that I have a little addiction. I’ve been good this year, a lot better than what I have been in the past.



I used to shop at the thrift shop to see what books they got in that week.



These days, I might pick up one or two booksa month at the local store.



My book shelves hold more books than what you see in these pictures. A lot more books. Heck, I have a whole room for them (plus some). Wouldn’t you love to visit this guy and his books? ->



I broke down...

Saying good-bye to Summer.



Has anyone else noticed that the days are getting shorter?



Peoples gardens are winding down.



Our Summer geese left over a month ago.



Last night the temperature dropped below 60.



The trees haven’t turned yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see that


happening sooner rather than later.



Has anyone else been inundated with school shopping ads?



It’s official. Summer is ending.



So to celebrate, I’ve decided to offer a little sale for my books. Now, until the end of September, both of my books are available...

What I’m reading…



Here are the blurbs:



Deadly Desire (Riley Jenson, Guardian, Book 7)~


Seduction that kills. Pleasure to die for.

She just can’t resist . . .


Guardian Riley Jenson always seems to face the worst villains. And this time’s no different. For it’s no ordinary sorceress who can raise the dead to do her killing. But that’s exactly what Riley expects to find at the end of a trail of female corpses used—and discarded—in a bizarre ritual of evil. With pressure mounting to catch one fiend, another series of...

Inspiration



This is a picture from my backyard.



During the spring, this log was underwater. When I see it now, I can almost picture a row of dwarfs marching across with an axe over their shoulder.



Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho

It’s home from work we go



Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho




I can see all sorts of fairy tales and winged fairies just looking at this picture.



Off to write. Wish me luck!
