Oiiiii sick of being sick!!

Soooo, today is the first day I've been on the computer in over 2 weeks. That's right, count them, 2 long weeks. 

I have to apologize to my blogs and readers!!

I think I had the cold and the flu at the same time! It was horrible!!

My poor husband and son suffered big time...they had to make meals don't you know ;-) LOL.

I took over the couch and made it my sickie area, I hate that but for some reason, I don't like being in bed when I'm sick ;-P and of course my fur babies snuggled right up to their momma keeping me company while the two humans stayed as far away as they could get from me LOL.

So, now I'm in a rush to finish two art forms I started for Whiskey Creek Press Torrid before I took ill, so my two newly contracted manuscripts can come to life in the form of e-books :-)

The Minotaur's Mate

&

The Guardian's Bond - Other Kin Book 4

And move. That's right, while I was shuffling around like the walking dead :-/ We did our final walk through, closed on our newly built house, transferred all utilities *phew* I'm pooped already! So the move will be taking place in a week or so, we're doing little things between the day jobs like hanging ceiling fans, installing roman shades and... oh I love my husband!! :-) he's so handy hehe.

Needless to say, the tail end of this dragging cold/flu thing is finally going away!! Thank Goodness!!

Stay healthy, warm and safe!!!!

2 New Contracts ... Sneak Peak

Sweeeeet!!

Yes *Fist Pump*, I just signed 2 contacts to have -- 

The Guardian's Bond - Other Kin Book 4

&

The Minotaur's Mate

Published with Whiskey Creek Press Torrid!!!!

How exciting!!!!!!!

I feel like a squirrel with a nest full of acorns!!

Here's a sneak peak into both...

The Guardian's Bond

 Who says guardians can’t be sexy, and sassy with one hell of a right hook.

During a training session with Triton, Prince of the Seas, Alston Guardian Olivia Roven, hears Dragon Hunters planning to capture the pregnant Dragon Shifter in America.

Hurled out of the sea by a Kraken, Livi races to save her aunt and will stop at nothing to protect Mari and the people of Alston; after all, she’s seen first hand how the darkness in people can rip families apart.

Livi loves tempting Tommy Moilanin, her childhood friend turned tormentor. However, what Tommy doesn’t know is that he’s been mating with Livi since she came into season five months ago, for Livi didn’t shift Lyken, she shifted Fae.

Tommy and Livi must work together to protect Alston, even going undercover at a Dragon Hunter’s camp to gather information, ending up with Livi beaten and them trying to escape.

Now they have two tribes of Dragon Hunters coming in force to invade Alston and scare out the Dragon.

However the Dragon they get, isn’t the one they were looking for.

The Minotaur's Mate

During a bar fight, truck driver Serafina Rinne accidentally hits the one man who could ruin her career. Sheriff Gabriel Conall.

Serafina’s amazed at the way her body leaps to life around the brawny Sheriff, wanting nothing more than to jump his bones, she goes quietly when he leads her into the Sheriff’s station.

Then Gabe makes her an offer she can’t turn down…stay in jail or gain her freedom, he’ll drop all charges – all she has to do is help him and the town folks move a Dragon egg.

Finding out that she has the blood coursing through her veins and although watered down by her human side, Serafina can still see past the creatures’ glamour shields they project to the rest of the world.

Serafina finds out Gabe’s a Minotaur, and he’s as drawn to her sexually as she is to him, leading them down an explosively passionate path.

When a stilted lover tries to kidnap the egg, in route to its mother, Serafina puts her life on the line to save the baby Dragon.

In a shaker combine vodka, rum, schnapps, and juices, then shake well.

Not sure why they named it Absolute Stress...it should have been named "Absolute Stress Reliever" with all these liquors in it. LOL.

Wednesday's Herb -- Cinnamon

Cinnamon, Cinnamon, Cinnamon

I love Cinnamon and use it daily. I tap a little of the ground Cinnamon in my coffee every morning or on my blueberry waffles, or in my oatmeal.

Why...

Well years ago, they ( doctors) wanted to put me on medicine for my cholesterol.  Now take in to effect when I say years ago, I'm talking about 20 years ago, when I was in my twenties.

Of course I said...go blow 

there was no way I was going on cholesterol medicine at twenty-something years old.

So I looked for a solution.

CINNAMON

Cinnamon is known to lower cholesterol, and I have to say it's been working for me for 20 years. The last time I had my blood work done, I was right on target. YAY ME

From what I understand it also helps with type 2 diabetes and blood sugar. 

There is a chemical in Cinnamon which has also been known to help with menstrual, and arthritis pain.

It's a NATURAL food preservative and has anti-infectious compounds.

So yeah, I like my Cinnamon.
