Mother's Day

First up, talk about being surprised when I went to the Loose Ends blog this morning. Please tell me it isn't true. Surely we haven't gotten to the 10th day of May and mine will be the first blog of the month. That saddens me because we (that being Loose-Id) have a killer group of writers and a truly loyal bunch of readers. I love my readers and see this site as a way of both telling them and hopefully reaching out to others.

That said, in a bold and intrusive way of getting to the getting, I want to leak a little info about a series I'm working on. The first Howl novella has been bought and revised and is waiting to be given a launch date. At the moment I'm working with my editor to hopefully whip the second one into shape and have #3 waiting in the back of my brain to be written. I love paranoral themes. I also dig wolves, not the 'fangs only come out at night kind' but real wolves. Toward that end, I've written several nonfiction articles for outdoor magazines about the controversial program that's re-introducing wolves to the U.S.

Now the great thing about fiction is that I can bypass all the pros and cons and simply place my wolves where I want them. But are they ordinary flesh and blood? Heck no. 'My' pack embodies human spirits and their task is to help guide mortals in facing the emotional demons in their lives and in the process find love and over the top sex. I don't do light. I've tried, honest I don't. But what turns me on are emotional burdens and characters who have no choice but to face them. Just thinking about what I can put future heros and heroines through makes me chortle in perverted glee.

And on that note, I'm off to don three hats--one as a daughter, another as a mother, and a third as a grandmother. Its going to be a full day. And if you're a mother, I wish you the same.
