Here in Central Oregon we woke up to 2 ft of new snow! Yesterday my husband and I shoveled our long driveway twice, 6" and another 6"!
This reminds me of the blizzard Judith Ashley writes about in one of her stories in our Anthology, "Grandmother Moon".
Her descriptions are so realistic I could feel the cold and the biting wind. The story of two wounded souls finding each other is riveting.
Combine that with a horse, a traitor dog, and a drum, and you have an interesting entertaining story worth reading.
Do you live in snow country? What do you do when it is cold and snowy outside?

Eight Days, till published!!
I'm doing the Happy Dance! Love & Magick will be published on February 14, 2014.
This has been an exciting journey with my co-conspirators in putting together our Anthology.
Sarah Raplee has a grown up fairy tale in her story "Enchanted Protector".
Sarah's second story "CURSE OF THE NEAHKAHNIE TREASURE" is about a cursed treasure map, and the plot twist that breaks the curse I didn't see coming.
"Enchanted Protector" is a story about a Prince who has been cursed by a Nome.
H-m-m, I don't know about you, but I'm seeing a pattern here!
What is your favorite fairy tale?

10 Days and counting! Till Love & Magick will be published!
Counting down the days!
Our pubbed date will be here before we know it. I'm heading over to Portland on Friday for three days of work with Sarah and Judith my co-authors.
This journey has been exciting and we've learned so much about publishing, publicity and editing along the way.
Will we do it again? Yes, I think we will. Judith and Sarah are both so knowledgeable and fun and easy to work with.
Not that we haven't had any disagreements, I mean three women making decisions don't always see eye to eye or heart to heart.
We've managed to work through problems that arose. And here we are. . .
Almost to the pub date! I'm getting very excited!!
Have you reached for a star/goal and when you finally got it, what was that feeling like?

11 Days till Love & Magick is published
My story "The Crystal Witch" will be published in the anthology "Love & Magick" on February 14, 2014. Here are some interesting characters from the story.
Today I want to introduce you to Henrietta's contemporary coven. The coven high priestess is Darla Blackfeather. She is a strong woman with ties to the land through her Native American heritage. She has black-brown hair, diamond nose stud and a no nonsense attitude
Ella Stone blond, slight build, thirty-nine years old. Making candles and infusing aroma therapy to work her spells.
Ivy Fox has a crown of wild red hair. Plants are her forte. She infuses potions, oils and teas with magick. The youngest member of the coven at twenty years old.
Mae Wren is a tiny woman with lively blue eyes, and brown hair. She is the crone of the group at age sixty-five. The sage of the coven. Mother to all the others.
And then there is Rosalba Bell. Olive skin, black hair, dark brown eyes and very exotic looking. She has a fiery temper. At twenty-eight years old she is still growing into her latent powers. She is the spiritualist. She communicates with the spiritual world. Her spirit guide is Leah.
These descriptions are excerpts from my character sketches.

12 Days to Publishing "Love & Magick"
"The Crystal Witch" is one of my short stories in the anthology "Love & Magick". I had incredible fun writing this story.
Some of the characters are Henrietta Anne Wynn, born October 1, 1674, in Waxing, MA., Waya, Cherokee shaman's son, Adahy, Cherokee shaman, Declan Blackthorn, the preacher's son and a man with evil intent.
How these four characters interact creates the catalyst which sends Henrietta on a journey she'll never forget!
Tomorrow stop by and meet her witch friends!
