Random pic Sunday

This morning I took pictures of all the sweets I'm surrounded by
each day, cakes, muffins, pastries...  but damn if I can find them in
my phone now!  (new phone I can't quite work yet)  It was also at 4:30
in the morning, so maybe I just thought I took them but really didn't...

So my random pic is what was waiting for me in my email when I got home.

Not as tasty as the pictures I had wanted to post, but I'll take it!

Thank you to everyone that voted.

Random pic Sunday

Yes I've actually remembered Sunday while it is still Sunday!

The pic today is one my daughter took on a trip, she gets the greatest

animal shots.  It seemed appropriate too with this cold spell we've been going

through.

On the writing front... Curses cover is up for cover of the month.

Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I actually missed Canada's Thanksgiving as I worked
right through it - so I thought I'd get all the upcoming
holiday wishes in one swoop - just in case I'm lost at
work again through those!

Something else that's going on is the Kindle version for
DREAMS and for CURSES is now only $2.99 until Dec. 31st

See I even come with gifts for all occasions!!

Have a great holiday season!!!

Spooky Swap!

A month ago I stumbled on the Author's Halloween Spooky Swap

http://www.ataleofmanyreviews.com/index.php/2011/09/book-bloggerauthor-halloween-spooky-swap/

Today I received mine from Midnyte Reader.

I love it! Especially the glow-in-the-dark PEZ dispenser!!

Thank you so much!!

Random Sunday and a blog stop

I'm over at Donna's Blog today talking about
Characters that pick their own powers with a few
peaks at some excerpts from Dreams.


CLICK HERE to get there

and while I have your attention ...
The Dreams cover is up for favorite cover
over at Your Gotta Read and I'd love a vote
or two.  I put the link over to the right of
this blog.  Voting ends on the 26th.

Here is the random pic for Sunday.
I considered putting up one of my own
pics but when I was helping my daughter
look for information for a school assignment
I saw this old pic and it just suited how I
felt this past week working extra hours, solving
one issue after the other at the cafe all while keeping
up with my own book tour..

Maybe you'll recognize it and relate..

Random pic Sunday- a little peace

Sometimes after a long week - chaotic days I

look towards mother nature for a little bit of 

peace.   If I take this picture and put it on my

desktop (pretend the tv, computers, video games

aren't going in the background) I can find a few

minutes of peace at the end of a day.

Enjoy your evening before the Monday morning grind 

begins all over again...

Random pic Sunday & I'm back!

I have not been neglecting the virtual blogosphere..

For the last three weeks I've been hip deep in work

trying to get caught up on everything so I could run away

and hide up north for three days!

I'm back - a little sore, a little sunburned but much more

relaxed then when I left.

We did some canoeing, some hiking (of course a four hour

trail might have been a bit much to start with considering we 

thought it was a moderate level trail but then found out afterward it was a difficult level trail - but we prevailed!) and a lot of sitting doing nothing but watching the trees sway in

the breeze.

Here's the picture story version of part of our adventures:

 After you trek down "the easy start of the trail" it helps fill

you with a false sense of being in better shape than you

thought you were ... and then the hard part begins

Going back up...

and further up....

up with obstacles ....

after and hour of down and an hour of up we found this

perfect little place to rest

(at this point we were thinking we had this thing beat)

pfft!

and still we go up

Just before this part there were stairs - a lot of stairs

as it went straight up the side of rock.  We were fooled into

thinking the stairs would be a wonderful thing - we were wrong!

To get up them we stopped at least five times and were all ready

for a nap by the time we reached the top.

2 1/2 hours later we were rewarded with this view.

an escalator right here would have been perfect

when we realized we now had to go back down to get

back to where we left the car.

Almost four hours from when we began, just under 8KM (5 miles)

later we got back to the car - deciding next time out we were

going to read ALL of the description of the trail before we

skipped down the path leading up into the wilderness.

I'll have more to post this week, some exciting guests coming

up and hopefully some good news on a few other things!

I was just informed that I needed to at least put a picture of myself

on my blog from the trip, so here's me taking a much needed rest

with one of my girls.

Random Pic Sunday!

I happened across this and it is one of those

pictures I just had to share.

I guess this is how you can take your fish for a walk?...

Hmmm...

On to other things

I'm thrilled to say I just have

to wrap up the last few chapters in 

After The Silence and then it's off to my 

CP - and if I get the thumbs up it will be

off to the publishers!

I have other news brewing, but I'm

waiting for the final word before I 

start splashing it around.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and

if you're in Canada - enjoy the holiday 

tomorrow!

Random Sunday

Yes, usually it's supposed to be a random pic, but with

mother's day and all that this day entails I didn't have time

to decide on a pic...

To all mom's-stepmoms-grandmoms-great grandmoms- 

foster moms- moms to be ...

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

Later today / this evening my interview goes

live on Romance Radio Net - I still have

mixed feelings on this event - I'll listen to the

end result of this, but rest assured I will probably

be holding my breath the whole time!   I tend to talk

what my brain thinks and hopefully Desmond did some

lovely editing here and there.

Now, for all those Mom's out there that need to relax and

step into another world, I've selected one for you to send them to

(and NO surprisingly it is NOT one of my own books)

The author of this one is a friend, one I made just after I signed

that very first contract into the whirlwind of the publishing world-

in the beginning we spent a lot of time emailing with rants, 

questions as we felt our way around this new foreign realm 

and when I want to step away from my own writing and just 

fall into the perfect mix of fabulous characters and edge of my

seat page turning I turn to her stories 

(write faster J.A !!!)

Just check it out, you won't be disappointed!!

Just click on the pic to get there.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

Random pic Sunday- How does this work?

I have discovered that in nature anything is possible - even

when I don't understand it.

I couldn't find a way around the water to get closer to this and

try to boggle it out, so hopefully the pics show it well enough.

I don't know how this tree has grown to be this size when it's

on a rock and not the soil.

Somehow in my busy world I missed almost an
entire week before it dawned on me that it was
Sunday again.  I will try to post a little more often.


I took a few pictures of the receding winter.  

It hasn't quite left yet but spring is trying very hard

to force it to go.

And this is me doing the happy dance.

I can't wait for winter to go away!!!

Random pic Sunday

Which way is up?

This is actually the reflection in the water.

As soon as this snow/ice leave I'm definitely

heading back to the serenity of this lake.

These turned out surprisingly well for drive-by's on a cell phone.

The last cold snap (I hope) of this winter season.  This is Niagara Falls

(the view from the Canadian side).

I didn't take this one, but I still love it!

Our Golden Retriever almost found herself

painted after this pic was sent to me by someone

that knows I love big cats.

for example....

This is the love seat in my office or what`s left of it

if you sit between the big kitties!

If I thought I could get away with it (and they 

wouldn`t eat my dog) those would all be

very real.

Only my daughter would go to Quebec during the

Winter Carnival and take pictures of her dessert at dinner!

Joking aside, she did come back with some amazing 

pictures of the ice sculptures and the Ice Hotel as well.

Be sure to stop by LASR this week, 

I'm in the author spotlight

I was checking out the sepia setting on my phone (which I didn't even know it had)

and this is what I came up with.

According to my son it looks like a picture from the "old days" ...

If you take out the newspaper boxes, dumpster, hydro poles and yield sign

it could have been from the ol' days.

Not the usual item you see on a 

rooftop.

Okay - I understand sunbathing ... but I think

this is taking it a little far.

Blurry pics that work!

Might have been driving a little fast when this was taken -

completely missed what I was aiming for, but the blurred 

tree turned out just fine.

;)

As did the blurred flames...
