It’s #BookQW and Cor ‘even’ has long-term plans for trees. More from Chapter 13: “During your talk at the conference, you said the Scots pines provide over half of the energy for the isle. What happens if one falls?” Lady Pina’s eyes narrowed. “We spend considerable energy ensuring that none do,” she snapped, clearly affronted. […]
It’s #bookqw and I see my hero using that ‘fist’ for control more than fights. More from Daeryn in Chapter 13: (Note, Jac is Daeryn’s coworker and competition, not the heroine!) Daeryn looked up at Jac. “With over half the team out, what is there to do?” Her eyes narrowed, studying him. Maybe looking like […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern hides the ‘last’ thing Mom suspects. More from Chapter 1: Three more days and the secret—and dreaded lying—would end. Fern drew a breath. “I love you, Mom.” “You’re growing up so much, my meadowsweet, I wish…” Mom gave a watery smile and traced a design with her index finger on Fern’s […]
This spring we visited the hill country of Texas during the spring wildflower blooms. It’s hard to capture in a few photographs the stunning beauty of the roadsides bursting with color, due to the highway beautification efforts of Lady Bird Johnson in the 1960s. Ahead of her time, Lady Bird Johnson promoted seeding the nation’s […]
It’s #bookqw and our hero can see their ‘whole’ future in a pest invasion. More from Chapter 3: Daeryn stepped between them. “Let her talk. This team isn’t pack. With Owen gone, we’re equal members and have to hear each other out.” Between his mustache and beard, Zar’s lips twisted like he’d scented carrion. But […]
Friends, it’s with great sadness we relay our Copper has passed. He had a tumor removed last spring, but the aggressive cancer had already moved into his lungs and more recently his bones. We had months longer with our senior pup than expected, a total of 14. He was as loveable and laid back as […]
It’s #BookQW and this ‘time’ Cor needs to get things right. More from Chapter 1: Master Harold held out the envelope. Cor shouldn’t, but…a job Aunt Syl would agree to. He took it and pulled out the card, lighting his own fingers this time. He scanned where and when to report, attire to wear and […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern has ‘heart’ matters besides romance to address. More from Chapter 3: For a moment, Fern just stared, because—geez—one second she’d been alone, and the next here was this big guy. He looked in his late teens, with green eyes and an accent. Scottish, or Irish, she didn’t know, but he wore […]
It’s #BookQW and will Salm’s onery “blue” magic let them sail together? More from Chapter 6: So…they still needed to break the news together. Following Luna, Salm checked his good clothes again, then flicked his fingertips. His energy sparked, taking the edge off his nerves. This caught him broadside. Luna was often quiet when they […]
It’s #BookQW and will a ‘race’ solve Ty’s problems in town? More from Chapter 14: Spike snorted. “Aye, Coral, perhaps you’ll have more luck teaching him to duel than to sail.” Her eyes narrowed at the taunt. “Surely more luck than we’ve had teaching you to keep your mouth shut about…things.” Desperate to stop this […]
