Two Books Completed And A Third Book Started

YEAH HAVE GONE AND DONE ITYes I have. So what have I gone and done? Well… between helping take care of my Mother who can not walk and is in her Lift Chair 24/7 and recovering from an accident in December, a later accident and then one where I did a literal Face plant and did my shoulder in I somehow found time to complete two books and start another one. To give you an idea of my books here are the titles of my books and OH yeah there is a good chance there might be a fourth book too. So the titles of my books are as follows: The Hot, Sexy, Clueless, Arrogant, Cocky, Obstinate Cocky, Bachelor & The Unexpected Heir: Book 1, The Most Unexpected, Beautiful & Gorgeous Engagement Of The Century: Book 2 and the book I just started is entitled: The Most Beautiful & Gorgeous Wedding Of The Century: Book 3.

Somehow have managed to get three chapters finished and a fourth chapter started which means I’m at 13,858 words. I am trying to get to Novel Length which is 40,000 words which means I only have 26,142 words to go which for me is very easy at least for me it is since I’m very wordy LOL. I will try to keep you updated every now and then. Wish Me Luck.

 

My New Addition To My Family

MY NEWEST ADDITION TO MY NUTCRACKER FAMILY!!No No I didn’t go and get pregnant but I did at this cute Nutcracker to my Nutcracker Family. You see I collect Nutcrackers and this is my first drawing/painting of a Nutcracker. The above drawing/painting is by Carolina Russo an excellent artist and she even has her own blog and Etsy store. Another drawing Carolina Russo did for me is from to separate picture of my Cats Tigger & Daisy Mae. She took both pictures and then drew both Cats on an 8 x10 picture. She did an excellent job on this drawing as well. The picture of Tigger & Daisy Mae that Carolina Russo drew for me is below.
DAISY MAE IS THE CAT LYING DOWN ON THE BED AND TIGGER IS THE CAT ON THE BED LOOKING AT THE CAMERA.
PICTURE IS DRAWN BY CAROLINA RUSSO.

was introduced to Carolina Russo through a contest actually and I was the lucky winner of that Drawing and it was beautiful. From there I liked her drawings and paintings so much I have bought several more for myself not just the two shown above and I have bought some as gifts too. This woman definitely has a gift and I should mention she does custom drawings where you ask her to draw something for you.

What Do Cupid, A Feisty Redhead & A Flirty Good Looking Guy All Have In Common…?

Does my title of my blog most sound like the starting of a bad joke, well I assure you it’s not but it is how my high school years started out and ended all at the same time. To put everything in a nutshell you will read about some brief happenings that actually did happen and boy do I ever hope the flirty good looking bully reads this post and yes he knows who he is and I hope he comments too. 

 

CupidFeisty Redhead  Flirty Good Looking Guy

When Cupid sets out on a mission to bring a couple together he doesn’t care where they are and I can verify this because Cupid found not only me but some flirty good looking bully. As the saying goes always be leary of something that seems to good to be true but then despite all the alarm bells in my Gut telling me this guy is just going to cause you heartache and trouble but I stopped listening to my Gut when my Heart took over when the good looking guy started flirting with me and not just one or two times either the whole way through high school. The flirting started innocently enough but never in my wildest dreams did I think a guy that what us adult women call well… man candy and I assure you he is the exact definition of man candy good looking and clueless. Eventually after awhile he convinced me he had feelings for me not to mention he also convinced me to love him.

After many years waiting for him to ask me out which he never did do, being a Redhead I was a feisty and somewhat bold girl so what did I do but confront when he was alone by the lockers and I asked him out and what happened next was was something I definitely was not suspecting he would do. OH sure I expected that he would tell me no but at the same time I was hoping for the best but then he yelled and screamed his answer which was a big fat no but then he went on a yelling and screaming rant that was so bad that I could not understand what he was saying. Girls when a guy tells you that phrase me thinks the lady protests to much when you deny liking someone guess what, I can wholeheartedly verify that it happens to men too. How do I know this well because I confronted this guy and he screamed a yelled so much and was so adamant that he did not have feelings and was protesting so much it was quite obvious that because he was protesting so much he was denying any feelings he had so in this guy’s case I would say me thinks the guy protests to much. Although I may have walked away disappointed, I also walked away with a smug happy look on my face because what I reading in his body language, his smiles, his quick stares, his long stares and his Eyes were that he was a guy that had feelings for a very unpopular girl – Me.

After he had told me no, screamed and yelled at me and was so adamant that it wasn’t funny I thought he would quit his flirting with but OH NO he continued flirting with me and showing me that he had feelings he gave me the best gifts I could have gotten from anyone and I got them from a good looking flirty guy who was also probably my bully. You all must realize he didn’t give me physical gifts but the better kind the kind I really needed and those gifts he gave to me were Compassion, Hope and the best gift he gave me was Love so I must thank him for that and if he ‘s reading this because of him he’s the one that convinced me to fall hard in love with him and because of this, I will always remember him and love him no matter what and whatever he is doing I hope he is happy. 

So in the end Cupid completed most of his mission because his arrows hit the bullseye on both Hearts of the Feisty Redhead and the Flirty Good Looking Guy who might be a bully too and though Cupid tried with all his power and might the Flirty Good Looking Guy denied his feelings for the Feisty Redheaded girl and left her scorned without a word of explanation. When True Love comes a knocking let it happen and don’t deny it because you never know when it will show up. May True Love find you all!! 

  

 

When Love Comes Knocking…

When Love Comes Knocking

When Love comes knocking don’t ignore it because you never know when Love comes for you and when it does it will take hold of you in ways that you never expected so do everything to hold onto that Love that has found you including fighting for it because all is fair in Love and War. Just because you don’t win the battle and the war right doesn’t mean you have lost but the exact opposite my friends. May True Love find you!!

Why I Don’t Celebrate Valentine’s Day…

First let me say Happy Valentine’s Day to those who celebrate this special day.

Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day and if you do what are your plans? To answer your question Do I celebrate Valentine’s Day? I used to until high school then things took a turn for the worse. So what happened? The boy that led me to believe he had feelings for me & convinced me to fall in Love with him scorned me then once in college things got worse. Some of my so called friends pushed me into a blind date then went on the date with us. Not my idea of a date. Then the same guy I went out with on the blind date well… that was on Valentine’s Day then my so called friends started taking bets on whether or not we’d date a year. The result: A year later that guy dumped me on Valentine’s Day then Valentine’s Day is really just another day to a single person if they don’t have a spouse or significant other and that is what February 14 is to me just another day. My Valentine I guess will have to be my Cat Daisy Mae.

Completed: Crystal & The Big Dare By Her Hunky Next Door Neighbor…

am so excited, I finally completed Crystal & The Big Dare By Her Hunky Next Door Neighbor… in which this book is not only a Romance book but a Second Chance Romance that has a lot of twists and turns in the plot to keep things interesting. Writing this book was fun, stress free and I had so much fun writing it and I think the main reason is I wrote my book from all the ideas in my mind, my imagination and my fantasies of how things might have turned out not to mention I got some of my ideas for this book from my life experiences too. Believe it or not but I always wondered what things would be like if things turned out the way you thought they should. You know what they say about Love, you may try to forget but the heart wants what the heart wants and I should mention this book is Fiction and any similarities are just that similarities.

I just started writing another book and I am hoping to have it done by December 31, 2023 but if not no big deal. I will tell you this book that I just started writing is about a girl who goes to college and gets a dual Doctorate Degree and as usual my ideas are from my imagination, wishful thinking and so much more. Still haven’t decided  what the title for my my next book will be for sure.  I finished my book on Jan. 23, 2023. I started another one on Jan. 26, 2023. We’ll see how that goes.

 

 

Winter’s Mother 1 By L. Starla: Print Book Review

Goodreads/Author’s NoteThis is the third of six main books in the Winter’s Magic Series. It is advisable to start with Winter’s Maiden 1.

Goodreads/Author’s WarningThis book contains coarse language, adultery in a crumbling marriage, and explicit scenes, including steamy m/f/f romance, that may upset or offend some readers. It also ends on a cliffhanger , with the sequel launching in May 2023.

have been reviewing print books for L. Starla for a while now but for some reason when I read her books, I find the plots intriguing, action packed, wondering if it could happen in real life and sometimes I find my answer is a resounding YES. Yes I analyze the book while I use it as a vacation and escape for myself from daily life that sometimes is overwhelming and quite stressful. I’m thrilled to review the author’s books and her series.

As said in the previous paragraph, the plots with Brendan, Alannah and now their Daughter Neve and the secondary characters are just extraordinary and please don’t judge me to harshly but I enjoyed reading the book.

I recommend this book to anyone that is 18 or over and parents, grandparents or legal guardian if you aren’t sure if you want your child reading this book well then you read the book first and then decide for yourself.

A Secret Paw Reveal & Thank You!!

Hi Everyone Daisy Mae Here with Mom Sister Crystal. I am here to reveal my Secret Paw & Thank them. So why did I take so long to reveal my Secret Paw & thank them? Well… everything was going OK then life through us some major curve balls & when I say major I mean Mom Sister Crystal’s Mom was in and out of the Hospital, she had to be in the Hospital over Christmas & now she is in a nursing home she’s not crazy about. To say the least things have been frustrating & chaotic not to mention hectic around the Stewart household.

My Secret Paws were Charlemagne & Tamar & the funny & ironic part of Secret Paws 2022 was we were each others Secret Paw. So thank you Charlemagne & Tamar for the Catnip, the soft snuggle mat, all the play toys you got me & a special thank you from Mom Sister Crystal she really liked reading the letter and we hope you all had a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays & Happy New Year.

Thanks Again,

Crystal Daisy Mae

Box Set + Sequel Completed + Another Book Started

Another milestone complete, I completed my box set + Sequel + started another book in which I have a partial title for and this makes me happy. This gives me hope that I am talented at something and one of my dreams is that someday I will be published and even if I’m not well I know I’m a talented writer even if it is for fun.

Happy Tuesday is always fun especially when something you have just accomplished makes you happy and you want to share that with others.

Wish me luck with this next book because not sure it is going to be a stand a lone book or not. I’m also not sure where I want this book to go. I’ve got plenty of ideas swirling around in my mind but getting them to paper and figuring out where they should go is another story.

A Reply Letter From Santa

Hi everyoneDaisy Mae and I got a reply letter from Santa about what we asked for Christmas and here is what jolly old guy had to say. Santa’s letter read as such:                                                             Dear Crystal and Daisy Mae,                                                                                                                      I wanted you to know I received your letter and what you both want for Christmas, however I must say Crystal the things you are asking for well will take me longer than Christmas but I know you are good girl and won’t mind it is late coming if I’m able to get them but it will take multiple miracles. Daisy Mae on the other hand well finding her a catnip mat will be a lot easier.                                      Best of luck on getting your things you want especially you Crystal.

P.S. Mrs. Clause and Love You!!

Collision: The Good Girl And The Mean Girl Completed & A Sequel Started…

did itI completed another book and this book is book #3 entitled Collision: The Good Girl And The Mean Girl and still deciding on a title for the Sequel which is going to be a murder/mystery/romance. I can’t believe that I finished 3 books in the year of 2022 and started a Sequel. Right now my title for the Sequel is: Princesses, Princes Their Cowgirls Cowboys MurderThe Sequel. Although the Sequel is still in the planning stages I am writing it as I see fit and as the words come to me. 

From what I have researched, a sequel is supposed to be shorter than the book you just finished writing. Actually they suggest 300-800 words. I laugh at this mostly because when I write, I write a lot of words and being short is not in my nature if you know what I mean LOL… I guess we’ll see what happens.

Daisy Mae Turns 16 And My Nephew Turns 20

Hello Everyone and thanks for stopping by, Today my Nephew turns 20 no more a teenager but now a college student and in a Fraternity. Also, I want to wish my baby Daisy Mae a very happy 16th birthday. I still remember the night my parents and I found her. They had just brought me home from work and as soon as you opened the car door, all you could hear was this very loud meowing which we of course followed and low and behold we found this beautiful very loud kitten with lungs like you would not believe that we guestimated was about 4 weeks old and fit in the palm of your hand. We fed her, gave her something to drink and a nice warm place to stay and it was funny in a way because her Mama who dropped her off kept coming around until she was sure her baby had found her loving furrever home. Daisy Mae’s Mama was a dark greyish and white Tummy. Daisy Mae’s Mamma had more white on her Belly than Daisy did. The funny thing is, is that my Dad said and I quote “No more pets in the house until Pigs fly”. Well let me tell you people, Pigs flew that night because it was Dad who insisted we bring her in the house despite the rest of us wanting to already bring her in. Living with all of Daisy Mae’s antics as well as through has been a journey of learning, exploration and of course fun. Now that Daisy Mae is a Super Senior Cat, she sleeps quite a bit but still gets her exercise. Below is a gallery of pictures that shows Daisy Mae in her 3 stages of life — Kitten(top 2 pictures), midlife(picture on 2nd row left hand side) and Super Senior(picture on right hand side in second row).

 

HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY DAISY MAE!!

 

A Tribute To Tigger & Remembering 9-11(Patriot Day)

Today is bittersweet day for me because today would have been my Grandmother’s Birthday if she were alive that’s the sweet part now the not so sweet part of today, I remember my Tigger Cat who was a true Tabby Cat that died on 9-11 and also the terrible happenings on what we now call Patriot day.

ANGEL QUEEN TIGGER ON MY BED WITH MY WHITE STUFFED CAT AND MY WHITE STUFFED POLAR BEAR.

Tigger you may have died on 9-11-2015 which was seven years ago, but I still miss you yet I cherish all the time I was able to have with you . You were a beautiful Tabby Cat but even though you were a Super Senior Cat when you died, I will always love you. The Morning you died is still etched in my mind but although you were gone, you weren’t gone from my heart or mind far from it in fact. The day you earned your wings and flew over the Rainbow Bridge and God called you home to be with him, was a very sad day for me but a happy day for God. I hope you’ve made a lot of friends and I know Ms. Ellen’s Angel kitties you’d get along with. Daisy Mae misses you a lot here. Tigger We Love You Lots.

DAISY MAE IS THE CAT LYING DOWN ON THE BED AND TIGGER IS THE CAT ON THE BED LOOKING AT THE CAMERA.

 

Patriot Day, a day that was so so terrible and if we were alive we remember where we were and what we were doing. I know I remember where I was, I was on my way to work when when the first plane hit and then I was rounding the corner just getting ready to pull into the parking lot when the second plane hit. When I hit the Breakroom that Morning, I remember everyone being in shock at what had just happened and all eyes were glued to the tv. The store manager even came in and told us there was no Morning meeting and stayed briefly then left the room. May we remember all those who gave their lives, who were injured and especially their families. 

May We Never Forget!!
