Happy Independence, It's July!

Hello Moonlighters!

July first came unexpectedly.  Kind of feel as if I totally lost June, didn't notice the days passing until realizing it was the last day.

Summer is an amazing time in Georgia.  The loud songs of cicadas cresendo as the days turn into evening.  The barely there breeze moves the fuschia and white flower laden crepe myrtles' branches, while the whirl of lawn mowers sound early every Saturday morning...Ahhhh sumnertime!

Life Lists

At the beginning of every month, I sit down and write a life list.  I try to keep it to about six or seven items.  My Life List forces me to do stuff that I would otherwise put off.  I'm sharing July's with you and challenge you to come up with one of your very own!

My Desk

Sharing my work space since I got a couple emails from readers wanting to  see it.  My desk faces the living room and front door.  I can look out the front windows into the street.  There are more windows behind me that allow me to look to the back deck.

My desk is crammed with stuff.  I love to be surrounded by pretty stuff that I have accumulated, either as a gift or little fun things that catch my attention while I'm out shopping.  It is messy and crowded with stuff at times.  But it's totally me and I'm comfortable with it.

I found the pretty pad at Tuesday Morning.  The Highlander and Bagpiper are Christmas gifts from my Hubs

I love pretty pens!

I rarely ue the neat scanner.  It is supposed to make my life easier.  Just have to learn to use it!

Next Month...
If you noticed the planner and calendar on the bottom picture, be excited! Next month I will sharing my planning system.  It works great for me and its so much fun!

Have a Wonderful July!!

Excerpt from The Storm

An hour later, Ariana entered the chamber, her beautiful golden-brown eyes going to his face immediately.  She came to him and wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head onto his chest.  Within minutes, the front of his tunic was wet from her tears.  His wife was plush, an intoxicating blend of sensuality and strength.  He pulled her face up to him and kissed her salty cheeks, then took her mouth tenderly.  "I know you had grown close to him, too.  I didn't mean to shut you out earlier."

"I understand.  You had him since you were a boy.  I imagine your heart is broken."  She sniffed and caressed his jaw.

Although married for five years, he never lost his urgent need to take her, to have her under him, claiming her body over and over.  Ariana seemed to understand where his mind wandered as she reached up and began pulling the pinnings from her hair, allowing the auburn tresses to fall past her shoulders.

She moved back and pulled at the ties freeing herself from the clothing around her waist, the bodice of her dress fell open and her upper body became bare to him.

Valent remained still, not daring to move so she wouldn't stop, his eyes devoured ever inch of exposed skin, his arousal already hardening in expectation.

She slipped her skirting away and he allowed his gaze to move from her bare feet up shapely legs to her rounded hips.  Her triangle of reddish hair drew his attention next and his mouth fell open with the needed exhalation of breath.

"Come to me, Valent.  I need you."  She slid her hands down the front of her chest, her fingers splayed and she cupped her breasts.  "I want to belong to you fully tonight."

Second Relase, The Laird's Daughter, Mid May!

The Laird's Daughter.  Ian McRainey is not who everyone thinks him to be.  Will his true identity help or hinder any possibility with the McNeil's beautiful daughter Elsbeth?







Lola's Corner

It's my mama's birthday month, so I plan to assist her more by not forcing her to hold my chewy at night.  Maybe I will pay attention when she calls me, but I'm not sure, sometimes I'm busy keeping watch and she doesn't really want anything.  She hugs me too tight and keeps kissing my head, which can be nice, but the woman needs a life. 

 I have a special birthday/mother's day present for Mama Hildie.  She can take me to get my nails done and to the Pet Store to buy me a new walking vest.  I will try not throw up in the car or bite anyone that tries to pet me.

Woof!
 Hildie's Assistant, Lola

A peek at my office space and how I work.

Sharing a bit about me and my work space.  I think next time I will hold the phone sideways, but you get to see everything pretty good.

Let me know what you think!

HAPPY DAY!

Happy April,

This is my first post in years.  I've decided to use this blog as a place to put my thoughts, announce upcoming events, share story ideas and post excerpts.  Enjoy!

A Day in the Life...

Although autumn is my favorite season, I revel in spring. Love the promise of new things that come with this time of year.  Every spring I rush to the local home improvement store and buy annuals, plant them and subsequently ignore them until they die.  I promise my husband I'll take care of them and then I forget all about them.  I hide the hidden shriveled things as if by throwing them away means they never happened.  Yeah, I know it's lame.

So this year, I'm not going to do it.  Yes I am going to buy pretty bright annuals, yes I will put them in cute little pots.  But the difference is that I'm going to give them away.  Each little flowering pretty plant will get a chance to live by going to a home other than mine!

Writing...

My writer friend Olivia Gaines and I are working on a super exciting project.  I can only hint that it's sizzling, it's hot, it's...scorching!  It's also blue and brown.  I've writen two novellas for this project during the last few weeks, which has been a lot of fun.  I love exploring new genres and pushing my limits.  This summer, you will find out what this is all about and I know you will LOVE it.
