Cats Vs. Dogs

There is an all out war going on in my house! Pixie, Pumpkin and Snickers have made an allegiance. Ranger, my poor puppy, is the only one on his side. I am neutral. I call the shots as I see them. So, Ranger has finally ventured out on his own. Since he got to my house, he has stuck to my side. Now, when I am not looking, the cats are attacking. The other night, I was sitting here doing some research and promo stuff for Ivory's Addiction, and all of the sudden, there is a commotion. I look up, Ranger comes sliding into home (me) and all three of my cats are on his tail, like the infantry on a charge! LOL...poor guy. Finally, he started standing up for himself, which of course, only makes the cats madder. he barks, they swat. They swat, he chases. He chases, the claw. And around and around it goes. Pumpkin got outside recently, and I had Ranger out to use the potty. Well, here's a little of what happened. Pumpkin saw Ranger, took off. Ranger noticed the movement and gave chase. I saw Ranger, and I went after him. So around we went on the merry go round of the house, while in my night clothes mind you, raggedy old sweats and baggy t-shirt. Finally it ended with her in a tree and Ranger barking like mad. LOL. Now the cats are on the sneak attack. They hide behind curtains, covers and under the couch. When Ranger comes near, whap, he gets it across the nose. Occasionally I'll hear a loud yelp, and I know, the cats have won the battle. But something tells me Ranger will win the war. Stay tuned to find out more.

IA has sold!

Amira Press offered me a contract for Ivory's Addiction, and I am so excited. I can't believe I actually did it. I sold my novel. I hope it holds up to the expectations of my family and of course, myself. I'm already working on Axel's Obsession, which is the next in the series and have planned out the next few characters and their ladies. I will hopefully get to post more soon, but I am afraid at the moment, I am sick. Been lethargic and sick to my stomach the last two days, so I have not done much. Darn sean. He jinxed me. LOL. Oh well. I will write more soon.

IA and it's journey

So, TWRP rejected IA based on the children being an essential part of the story. After my initial anger, I realized that the story as is may just not be right for their company. The Distance was requested in full by the Champagne line is now under review. I hope it goes well. After the initial sting of rejection and outrage, I submitted a query to another romantica press, Amira. I queried early in the morning, and received a full request for the entire manuscript that night. I've sent it this evening, and impatiently await to hear a response, lol. I hope they like it. I hope it's not too hot, and just right for them. I don't use that bad of language, :) Anyhow, I'll keep you updated.

Oh, and we have a dog. His name is Ranger. he's a Weimaraner puppy. So cute and adorable, but very mischevious. His favorite delicacy is rocks. Yes, I said right. He eats rocks. All the Time.
