I think I missed Thursday

Hi!

Every Thursday after this, you will, from now on, find a post from a guest blogger--a starving artist who doesn't write books for a living. Or maybe a not-so-starving artist, as the case may be.

I'm still having the contest for new blog joiners -- it stretches through the end of this month, so anyone who joins or follows one of my blogs is eligible to win a $5 Gift Card--reader's choice. 

This month, there will be two winners. One winner will be someone who was already a member before the first of August, and the second from new joiners. Every week from now on, there will be book giveaways and a Gift Card giveaway at the end of the month.

Okay, that's  the serious info…well, the serious blog news, at least. 

  Well, there is ONE other thing. Jeannie Y. was named  the  J.J. Nagged Me! Winner for this month. For her suffering, she won a PDF of the first book of the  International Worlds Museum Series, Metamorphose.  

Now, enough about all that. I bet you're wondering about the actor that didn't show up today. Okay, the actor whose blog post didn’t show up today. You've got to be asking yourself what happened. Is he okay? Was it some tragic behind-the-scenes issue?

He met up with another of my best friends for drinks. I expect they got smashed. I'm not angry about it, though, I'm pouty. They went to a bar on the beach --in another state, I'll admit that-- but still, I didn’t get to go. They went off and had fun while I tried to fix my deleted email box, scoop the kitty litter, and a plethora of other, not-fun-at-all things.

No, I'm not bitter, why do you ask?

I have a lot to get done and I'm getting nowhere at all, so I plan to install one of those meters (or several) so that you can keep up with how much or how little I've gotten done on various books. Don't worry if it looks like I've got a long way to go. As soon as the guy upstairs turns his music down below 124 dB, I'll be able to hear myself think. You wouldn't think that would be important, but trust me, it is.

The birds, the dog, and the cats would agree with you. Just look what it's doing to the bird!

 

I thought that guy was evicted. Why do the quiet ones always move and the loud people stay until they get dragged off? I'm not actually that loud, it's just too much trouble to move. That's all for today, folks!

Fourth of July Blog Hop Winners!

Hey All!

I was sad that not too many people had pet pix for me, but that's okay. I know that the holiday is over, and technically, so is the Blog Hop.  Now all that's left is to announce the winners.

So, why don't I do that? No reason at all--Here you go:

The winner of 3 books from any of my series: Wulf

The winner of a necklace (or if she'd rather claim a book or 2) ceagles

And the surprise winner: Patricia--choose any one of my published books

just email me and let me know which books you'd like and in which electronic format.

And because I promised it the other day, here's a picture of Roland, my male cat, and Bear, my sister's dog, hanging out together.

There are many who believe that Roland belongs in a cage.

Not Bear of course--she believes in free will and letting it all hang out.

TRS AND TWOLIPS Winners

Hi Y'all!

I'm not really southern, but Y'all seemed right for today. I lived in the South during my long and winding life…okay, I'm forty-eight, but it seems longer. 

Anyhow, I'm here today to announce winners--I've already been in contact with my TalkingTwoLips winners, but they were Louise L. (lluch52) and Fedora C. (f.chen). Each won a copy of the e-book of their choice from my published books. 

I meant to include links in the emails, but you know how bad I can be. I forgot. 

So, find my books here:

 Melange

New Concepts Publishing

Torquere as Illian Obsidian

Torquere as J.J. Massa

and Kindle at Amazon

My TRS STAY AT HOME Party winners are:

Sara A. (millimeow )

Tamika   G.(rasco630 )

Na S. (Cambonified )

Sue S. (proudarmymom32)

Each of them will win an ebook from my published books (or they can save it for a new book when it comes out) and a $2.00 coupon to use at RiJoys -- where my sister and I sell our handmade jewelry.

I'll be back in the next day or so for more of Beauclerc Island.  Until then, visit me at W. Lynn Chantale's blog, Decadent Decisions. It's her birthday so I'm giving out  one of my books, and one of hers : )

See you there!

And while you're here, here is the next installment of Beauclerc  Island

.

Beauclerc Island

.

Previously:

Years before on his own mother's deathbed, she had given him a sheaf of papers. "Her Grace gave me those before she died, so's I could keep you and little Kaia safe if his nibs went off his nut on any of us. There's 'ouses belongs to 'er on a place called Beauclerc Island."

~~~

The bell jangled as the door to Maggie's Café opened. The thick smell of cooked oysters and cream permeated the air. With every step he took toward the large table in the center of the room, the chatter intensified. Maggie had decided a long time ago to keep everyone in one place unless someone really wanted to sit off to the side for peace and quiet. 

.

Greyson Maddox, sheriff of Beauclerc Island, didn’t especially want peace and quiet just now. He was more interested in learning what everyone was so stirred up about.

.

"Afternoon, Sheriff. Coffee?"

.

"Ah-yuh," he agreed, waiting, going through the ritual.

.

In no time, Maggie had his coffee poured and steaming gently in front of him. As he took his first sip, she imparted her news to him.

.

"I heard from away, this mornin'," she began. He nodded his understanding. "Seems some of the family will be joining us for a spell. The compound needs cleanin'."

.

"That so?" Grey inquired, taking another sip of Maggie's excellent coffee.

.

"Ah-yuh," she responded, crossing her arms over her chest as she leaned against the table. "Just two, at the first. Fellah talked so funny, I couldn't hardly understand 'im. Wanted to make sure it wasn't busy or crowded. Make sure it was quiet around here. Sounded a bit queer to me."

.

"Could be," Grey agreed. "Guess I'd better pass this along."

.

"Guess you'd better," Maggie agreed. In unison, the two turned their heads toward the side window, away from the surf.

.

There, perched atop the highest promontory of the twelve-square-mile island, sat a heavy piece of architecture that could only be called a castle. The inhabitant of that castle, Grey knew, would be only too interested to learn that some of his kin would be staying nearby in the family homes. His greatest worry was that the newcomers might…dine…on the same delicacies as their relative.
