The Wentworth Pack - Book 03

While working on The Wentworth Pack book 02, I got the idea for book number 03. Book 3 in The Wentworth Series has already a title, too. It's hilarious, isn't it?

And because I don't want to forget the ideas that pop into my head, so I already started the summary for book number 3.

What I do want is to continue with book number two in the Grapevine & Skyscrapers Series. So, I will have to make time for that too.

I will get more energy after Max, my dog, is checked by the vet, because there's nothing worse than not knowing. It's draining energy.

On Monday I won't get much time if at all, to write. In the morning I need to work ( My hubby's company). After that, I need to get Max to the vet. It will be dinner time when I come home after visiting the vet.

I'm not a person who can work in the evening hours. So, I hope that on Tuesday, I will get some writing g time because there's still my other job.


Have a great evening y'all!

My dog, my book and me!

I'm working on several different projects, as you know when you follow my blog. Writing is distracting me, and that's what I need right now. My doggie, Max is scheduled for an ultrasound coming Monday. His heart isn't the best anymore, and the vet needs to check his heart regularly.

Max should get his ultrasound around August of this year. But he's not doing so well right now. So, that is reason enough not to wait until August to do the ultrasound.

Also, I got the sad message that one of the 31 ex-puppy mill dogs has passed away. It turned out that she had Cushing decease. Now only 29 rescues are still living, for as far as I know. My Faith was the first of the ex-puppy mill dogs who died. That was 18 months after the rescue. The second dog that passed was my Sophie. Her spine was severely damaged, and there was nothing that could so, other than let her pass the rainbow bridge.

Now Max is showing signs that his heart is getting worse. I hope that I'm wrong.
So to work on my books is a big distraction for me, and that's just what I need right now.

The Wentworth Pack book 2 is on the way, and I hope to publish it at the end of May.

Have a great weekend everyone!

The Wentworth Pack Book Two!

Some authors work on one story at the time. Not me! I'm one of those writers who work on several projects at the same time. Right now I'm working on Grapevines & Skyscrapers book two, Reunited, and it goes very well. I've written several chapters during the weekend.

Then, this morning, inspiration hit me, hard regarding book two of The Wentworth Pack. So that are three stories that I'm working on right now.

Today, it will all be about starting book two in The Wentworth Pack series.

Also, my rescue mission (saving a small Maltese doggie) was successful. This mission went on for a couple of weeks, and now that all is okay, I noticed how much energy it has cost me. I'm emotionally drained, but the dog gets a good life, and that's the most important thing.

I just need a few good nights of sleep; then I'll be fine again. I will tell all of it in my new book that will have Emma, (my rescue from Portugal) as the main character.

I'love all animals, but it's mostly about dogs, and when I see that someone isn't treating his dog the right way, then I'll spurt into action.

Eric Wentworth and Jory Bradshaw's story had been published on Saturday, and I couldn't even enjoy the sales because my thoughts were with the small dog. It turned out that the owners made the right changes, overnight. The little dog is safe now, and for it's time to enjoy the sales of my book.

I hope that I will have a good night sleep after having sleepless nights for about three weeks now because that's how long it took to get things right for the doggie.

So, enough for today!

Writing Day!

Today was all about writing. I managed to write several chapters of Grapevines & Skyscrapers 02 Reunited!

On Sunday hubby and I mostly stay home. Right now I'm on the couch, writing and watching IndyCar Series race at Circuit of The Americas.

I took the time to groom Emma because her fur was way too long. Now she looks like a puppy again, so cute, my baby girl. Yep, I see my two dogs as my children.

Tomorrow I probably won't get time to write because of my other job. I'm not a full-time writer, but I hope to become one, someday. I love to write stories, and it's my second greatest hobby,  my two dogs are number one.

That's it for today! Have a nice day/ evening!

Publication Day!

Today is the publication of Eric and Jory's story. I'm so excited because this was the first book I started writing, which was in 2012. Unfortunately, writers-block reared its ugly head, and I was forced to put their story to rest.

What I didn't know at that time was that it would take me seven years to finish it. So yes, I'm very excited! Why it took me so long to complete the book was that I couldn't connect with, Eric Wentworth and Jory Bradshaw, the main characters.

Let me tell you that if the connection between the writer and the characters isn't there, then there's no way to continue with their story. No way!

Anyway, I'm busy with several projects which includes my personal story and one of my latest rescue dog Emma.

My hubby is still at work, so the house is quiet with just Max and Emma. Both dogs are fast asleep.


I wish everyone a great weekend!

My Day, pre-orders and projects!

Right now, I'm busy working on Grapevines & Skyscrapers 02 Reunited. The story progresses well, and I'm satisfied. This evening I will continue with the cover for my other project, Angel Valley. I'm afraid that this cover will be a difficult one. I have the time because the month of publication for Angel Valley is  August 2019.

The way it goes now, I  will be able to publish Grapevines & Skyscrapers in May, as scheduled. Maybe even at the end of April, who knows, but May is doable. I don't need the stress, right now. So unless I'm sure of everything, there won't be pre-orders.

Have a nice day!

My Sunday

My alarm went off at 5 a.m. because I wanted to watch Formula One racing.  It's the first race of the new season, held in Melbourne, Australia. After watching a magnificent race, it was time to continue with my book "Grapevines & Skyscrapers 02 Reunited." I adjusted my notes and started writing the summary for G & S.

However, right now I'm not feeling so well, and I am afraid that the flu caught up with me.  I have a major headache, and my throat and left ear are hurting. What can I say, I'm not a winter person.

Being sick does have a big advantage because hubby is cooking dinner tonight.  So, right now, no more writing, just hanging on the couch and watching television.

Have a great day!

Next Cover!

It's Saturday, and that means that my weekend has started. Time to work on one of my stories, or cover for Angel Valley. This is a hard one because nothing fits. I want to combine heaven and earth, but that's harder than I expected. Still, I keep trying, and I will create a magnificent cover.

Maybe I'll even continue writing either on Grapevines & Skyscrapers, or Angel Valley, who knows. The weather is horrible, so the dogs and I stay inside.

Have a great weekend Y'all. I know I will!

Notes Notes Notes!

My appointment for today was called off, and that means, more time to write. Well, not writing exactly, but I'm scribbling down notes for my next three projects. Grapevines 02 is on hold for the moment because I don't know how to proceed. It will come to me eventually.

Before when I didn't know how to continue, I forced myself to keep writing. That was the stupidest thing ever because writing stories is a process of creativity.

Christmas Miracles will get a sequel because it has many unsolved issues.  Then, there's another story and my pet project. The new story doesn't have a title, yet.  My pet project will be about my adorable Portuguese princess, Emma. I already created the cover for Emma's story. It has pink in it.

Have a good day, everyone!

Cover

The manuscript is ready for publication. I'm working hard to finish the cover for The Wentworth Pack book One Jory's Destiny.

I created five covers, and none of them are satisfying. So, I'll give it another try.  Meanwhile, Emma, my Portuguese rescue is wreaking havoc, silly little dog! Whenever Emma is bored, she starts teasing me. Not my husband, no, me!

I hope to create the perfect book-cover today so that I can send my manuscript with a new summary and cover, for publishing.

It's still raining. So all of us are comfortable on the couch, except for Emma, she is lying in her dog bed, and she's quiet, for now. So, that makes me happy because I need to concentrate on finishing the book-cover.

Sunday, editing and other stuff!

Today is Sunday, and it should be my day off. However, as it is, I have lots of work to do regarding my newest book "The Wentworth Pack." I finished editing, and now it's time for insert hyperlinks, dedication copyright and so on.

One thing I can tell you, my Sunday isn't dull.  The weather outside is terrible. It's pouring, and I had to go through it because I had to let my dog out. Little Emma stayed home because she hates the rain, Max doesn't care, and he needs his exercise every day. So, I only took him for a walk.

I'm on the couch, typing merrily away on my laptop while my husband is preparing lunch. The dogs are watching him closely haha.

That's it for now. Have a good Sunday!

Unbelievable, but true!

Today I finished The Wentworth Pack 01 Jory's Destiny. I'm happy because this book is exceptional. I started writing Eric and Jory's story back in 2012. So, this book was on my shelf for seven years, wow.

Every time I wanted to continue, I got stuck. It somehow wasn't possible to connect with the main characters of this book, and it resulted in deleting, scene after scene, and then start over again. So, for a long time, I let it rest on the shelves.

Recently I had another go at it, and this time it was bingo. The connection was there, and I started writing and couldn't stop. I'm mega happy that I finally finished Eric and Jory's story because they deserve it.

There were times that I thought I would never finish this book. I rewrote it more times than I can count and even changed the title a few times.

The book will be available on March 23rd, 2019, but it's on pre-order at Smashwords and Amazon.

On Sale Now!

Published!

Today I made The Wentworth Pack available for pre-order on Amazon and Smashwords. Within days the book should also be on Kobo and Barnes & Noble. I'm wrapping up the story and expect to be finished on Sunday.

Then the editing and other stuff must be done before I can submit the manuscript. It's still a lot of work, but it's fun. Next story will be the second book in the Grapevines & Skyscrapers series. The cover is done, and I must admit that I'm very proud of the result.

Usually, I post the pre-orders on Goodreads, but the book cover is subject to change, so that will have to wait. Once the book cover is displayed on Goodreads, there's no way to undo it. I noticed that the first time that I was too hasty with posting and I learned from it. So, that won't happen again.

Now it's back to writing again. After all, I need to finish the manuscript.
