Thursday Thoughts: Universal Feelings

Posted on April 30, 2020 by Silver James

As a romance author, one of the most important things I must imbue in my characters is their emotions. All the joy, hate, sadness, love, despair, jealousy, surprise, anticipation, trust and distrust, fear, amusement, bravery, disgust… The list of emotions and the feeling they evoke is pretty much endless. Creating characters turns into a virtual smorgasbord. But unless the author figures out a way to show those emotions, drawing in the reader while doing so, that list doesn’t mean a whole lot. Give me the “angry young man” who spends the book fighting himself and everyone else without ever mentioning the word “angry.” SHOW me his inner turmoil in his outward actions. Show me the tenacious heroine who hangs on by her fingernails and scrabbles for everything she wants without telling me she is stubborn or strong. Words are easy. Emotions and feelings are not.

Those feelings you most want, Silver, aren’t going to come from somewhere new, someone special, or something wonderful.

They’re going to come from within, where they now wait for your permission to be released – often in terms of somewhere new, someone special, or something wonderful.

Permission granted,
The Universe

Silver, whatever you hope to feel in the future, you can decide to feel right now.

My readers should expect the same from me and my characters. A writer has to dig deep–into both the chaqracter and into their own pysche because if the author doesn’t feel the emotion, how will they ever convey it in words so that their readers feel it? Whenever I “finish” a WIP and deem it complete, I plan to reread it with an eye to the Universe’s message. I’m going to give myself permission to release the feelings inside my characters and make sure they are display for all to see. Easy question today. What’s the last book that made you laugh out loud? I started to say “made you cry” but things are gloomy enough. I’m looking on the happy side. For me, it was Molly Harper’s ALWAYS BE MY BANSHEE (Mystic Bayou #4).

Wednesday Words: Power Hungry

Posted on April 29, 2020 by Silver James

Another Wednesday, another word theme. It’s springtime so there should be lots of flower power going on. I hope doesn’t take a lot of will power to read today’s snippet. Yup, today’s #1lineWed power word is…POWER! Do y’all remember Lucky from REMEMBER THE NIGHT? He’s the president of the Oklahoma Chapter of the Nightriders. He has a member named Cowboy and Cowboy got sucked into a power struggle and came out the worse for the wear. Now it’s up to Lucky to reach deep for his own magical power and do what an Alpha Wolf does…
****
Lucky
I slouched against the door jamb, watching. “How’s he doin’, Dancer?”

“Hangin’ in, Lucky. Fuckers ripped him up bad.”

Hooking my thumbs in my front pockets pulled my jeans low on my hips. It was that or give in to my wolf, claws out. “He knew the risk when he accepted the full patch. We all do. Where’s his girl?”

“The old ladies have her.”

That was Dancer’s way of saying he wanted nothing to do with that situation. The man in the bed groaned. I stepped into the room and closed the door so no one else could hear.

“Be easy, Cowboy.” Dancer touched the injured Nightrider’s shoulder.

“Emily?” Cowboy’s voice was a tortured whisper but he fought to sit up.

“Lay still, man, else you’ll tear the fuckin’ stitches.” Dancer forced the other Wolf back onto the pillows.

I was beside the bed a step later to help hold him down. “She’s fine, Cowboy. Gemma’s takin’ care of her.”

Cowboy breathed easier. “The fuckers didn’t get her.”

“No, they didn’t get her. You did your job.”

I winced as Cowboy’s deep, racking cough brought up blood. I grabbed a towel, wiped his mouth.

Dancer fixed me with a hard stare. “You know what you have to do.”

“I wish the Russian was here.”

“Cowboy’ll be dead before he could cross the state line. You’re Alpha for a reason, Luc. He’ll heal faster in wolf form. Ya’ll have to rip out his beast.”

“I can’t.”

My second in command glanced up, eyes glinting feral red in the low light. “He’s in bad shape.” Teeth bared, he growled, “This feckin’ world will lay your bones bare. And shred your soul in the process. Ya gotta do somethin’!”

Dancer wasn’t talking about life in the club, and I knew it. No, he was talking life as a Wolf.

“Damn ya, Luc. Ya fought t’be feckin’ President, t’be the top Wolf. Ya have the power. Ya can’t walk away from this now. ’Tis yer duty.”

When Dancer’s Irish accent came out thick and heavy I knew I was in fuckin’ trouble. My skin itched, my wolf wanting out in the worst way. Was I strong enough? Ripping out a man’s beast was dangerous. I could kill Cowboy as easy as heal him. But Dance was right. I had no choice.

Reaching deep, I pulled on my Alpha power, directed it toward Cowboy. He writhed, but I couldn’t think about making his injuries worse. I found his wolf and yanked. His transformation started. Sweat rolled down my spine. I fought our animals even as someone screamed. Couldn’t think about who or why. Had to hold Cowboy. Had to control the beast—his and mine.

Spots formed before my eyes. My vision blacked out. Dancer had me, held me up. My claws shredded the mattress. A woman sobbed. Emily. I recognized her scent. Then arms circled my waist, a cheek pressed against my back. The aroma of orange and ginger. Gemma.

“It’s done, love. Come back to me. Come home, Luc.”

My vision cleared. Cowboy, in wolf form, was curled up on the bed, asleep. Healing. I let go. My wolf receded. I came home to Gemma.
****
This is a scene from one of those books where the hero walked up and thunked me on the head. Often, when this happens, they give me a scene or three and expect me to write the whole dang book. 🙄 But I collect the scenes and tuck them back and eventually, a book will emerge. Until it does, I hope y’all enjoy this brief peek back at Lucky. Authors, any power worsd you want to share? Readers, what super power would you want?

Tuesday Treats: Easy Fruit Cobbler with Cinnamon

Posted on April 28, 2020 by Silver James

Who loves fruit cobblers? 🙋‍♀️ Today’s treat is ready in about an hour because it takes no time to prepare and bakes in a jiffy. And you can use all different kinds of fruit.


Total Time: 55 Min,
Prep Time: 15 Min.
Cook Time: 40 Min.

Healthy Living! Taste the secret to our yummy, easy fruit cobbler: vanilla pudding. The fruit in this Easy Fruit Cobbler with Cinnamon is thickened with vanilla pudding.

What You Need
1 pkg. (16 oz.) frozen sliced peaches
1 cup frozen raspberries
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar, divided
1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup milk
1-1/2 cups all-purpose baking mix (We call it Bisquik down here in the South…just sayin’.)
1 cup thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping

Let’s Make It
1 – Heat oven to 350ºF.
2 – Combine fruit in large microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1 min. Meanwhile, mix cinnamon and 1 tsp. sugar until blended; reserve for later use.
3 – Mix dry pudding mix with remaining sugar until blended. Add to fruit mixture along with the water; mix lightly. Spoon into 8-inch square baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
4 – Add milk to baking mix in medium bowl; stir just until moistened. Drop in mounds over fruit mixture; sprinkle with reserved cinnamon mixture.
5 – Bake 35 to 40 min. or until fruit mixture is hot and bubbly and biscuit topping is lightly browned. Serve warm topped with COOL WHIP.

Kitchen Tips
Tip 1 – Substitute: Here’s a great way to use your leftover frozen cranberries from the holidays. Just substitute them for the frozen raspberries in this luscious dessert.

Tip 2 – Nutrition Bonus: The peaches are an excellent source of vitamin C and provide vitamin A in this easy-to-make old-fashioned dessert. Plus at 180 calories per serving, you can still have dessert and eat well.

My Tips: You can use apples and/or blueberries and since it says 9 servings, I’d drop to dough in a tic-tac-toe pattern in the square pan. Also, whip cream andor ice cream on top when served warm. 

CLICK ON OVER to My Food and Family for all the nutritional details. This a kid-friendly favorite among the Wolves. Y’all know what that means–the kids of ALL ages like to nom on this. Annie Donaldson whips up a pan for Sean and Cody and just hands them the carton of ice cream and two spoons. They don’t care what fruits she pairs together. She’ll make another pan for herself and baby Sally, which is usually the original–peaches and raspberries. She always keeps frozen sliced fruit on hand. Annie had this to say, “It’s so easy, even if my momma would be all up in arms because I’m not makin’ a proper pie crust from scratch, and I dang sure ain’t peelin’, boilin’, and otherwise preparin’ the fruit. Y’all might think life has settle down just ‘cuz we’re livin’ in a small town but let me tell you, that just ain’t so. I’m puttin’ all the ingredients together so I’m makin’ it from scratch.  Besides, my boys like this cobbler just like this recipe tells me to make it and that’s all that matters t’me.” If I’m not mistaken, Sean and Cody are lurking just out of sight ready to request this treat once I leave Annie be. If y’all want to read their story, it starts when they meet in WOLF MOON and continues through other books to be mostly settled in MOON SHOT. WOLF MOON is part of MOONSTRUCK: LIES, wherein you get both ROGUE MOON and WOLF MOON, plus added extra chapters and stuffs like that there. You can click on a title or the cover and magically zoom off to buy any of the books. 😉

What about y’all? Do you like cobbler? What’s your favorite fruit? And the most important question of all, ice cream or whipped cream?!?! 😀

Monday? Are You Sure?

Posted on April 27, 2020 by Silver James

I know this because we had Chinese for dinner last night. Yes, our favorite Chinese restaurant reopened and we are glad! Decision making is so much easier with the routine–and it helps me keep track of the days of the week. Tuesday is $10 Tuesday at Papa Murphy’s Pizza. Saturday is either chicken or catfish at Golden Chick. Sunday is Chinese from Grand China. I only have to decide what to fix for dinner on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. 🍕🍗🥡

Am I boring you yet? Moving on…

TV land is alive and well. Sort of. Live PD is still in a shortened version and only in 6 locations but the newest one? I’m totally going to create a Cajun Wolf character based on one of the West Baton Rougue PD detectives. He’s like a real-life Cajun version of Sonny Crockett. Seriously. I ❤ him and his shirts. In other news, Bret Michaels was unmasked on The Masked Singer this week. Guest judge Sharon Osborne nailed him, but I sorta had it figured out, I just wasn't positive. Close enough to chalk a win up in my book. 😁

The wonderful writeres in the Tarpley VFD series that came out in February had a Zoom meeting last week to outline the details of our next release. On February 16th, new characters and books will be coming from TVFD. My book will be the last one in the series this time. I can tease you with the starring couple–Jack Riggs and Justice McAlester, both introduced in FIGHTING FOR ELENA. I'm looking forward to the fun of writing them! I'm also making progress on the short short for the anthology open call I've mentioned. Jodie and Wizard are coming together, the plot has its villain, and I hope to get it ready by the May 15th deadline. 🤞 At least I'm feeling hopeful about writing again.

Reading–or in my case, listening–was slow last week. I only managed two books, though both were new releases. First up, A BAD DAY FOR SUNSHINE by Darynda Jones. I'm at a loss as to labeling this book. It's not paranormal or urban fantasy–which is what Jones is known for–though it has a touch of magic realism. The romance was only hinted at. There's a bit of a mystery and some police procedural. And the characters are all a bit wacky, with a snarky heroine. We'll see what the next book brings, whenever it comes out. The other book was the 3rd in Shelley Laurenston's Honey Badger series, BADGER TO THE BONE. She makes me laugh out loud often and I ❤ her bears and badgers but this one? Well, I left a review on Goodreads. Not my favorite. I'm back into my In Death/Eve Dallas relisten while waiting for my next library hold to drop. I'm currently just over halfway through WITNESS IN DEATH. Have I mentioned how much I love and appreciate my local library system and the fact that they have a decent digital collection, plus Hoopla access for free? If y'all haven't looked into your libraries lately, you should. Get a library card and use it. 📚

So…food, work, TV, and reading. That pretty much sums up my life. I currently have a very large black dog snoring under my desk so probably not much computer stuff will get done. It's a pretty day. Maybe I'll get out there and dig up some of the bermuda grass in the island in front of the house. Or cut down the golden oak volunteer trees that are springing up in the island of our circle drive. Get some Vitamin D. I can be neighbor-nosey without being obvious!

What about y’all? Anything good, bad, unusual, or boring happen to you last week, or over the weekend? What’s the upcoming week look like? Inquiring (and nosey!) minds want to know!

Thursday Thoughts: Universal Criticism

Posted on April 23, 2020 by Silver James

Ouch. Criticism hurts. Bad reviews sting. Rejections make you wonder if you’ll ever add new words to a page again. Been there. Done that. Didn’t buy the T-shirt.

Silver, the need to criticize belies a longing for recognition, appreciation, and validation. None of which, however, can be obtained through criticism.

I’m sure it’s just a phase they’re going through.

Wink,
The Universe
© http://www.tut.com ®

Silver, you’re actually glowing today.

You know what? I think the Universe is onto something here. I’ve seen “review attacks” launched at authors by rabid fans of other authors. Trust me, it ain’t pretty! I’ve gotten some 1 star reviews that made me wonder if that person read the same book I wrote. Oh, I totally get not liking a character, a plot device, the author’s voice, etc. I get not liking a genre and give props to a reader who is willing to try something new even if they discover they don’t like that genre. At all. I’ve gotten some of those “not my cuppa tea” reviews. Hey, I mainly write UF and paranormal romance suspense/thrillers. LOTS of people don’t like what I write. I appreciate everyone who gives me a try. But there are those trolls out there who delight in leaving bad reviews. And just like the trolls on social media, I think those individuals are looking to validate their own pitiful lives by tearing down others. 🤷 <– That's me shrugging. Those types have always been around. Best way to deal with them? Ignore and get on with being productive by writing the next book.

Is there useful criticism? Heck yeah! That's what editors are for. I don't care if you're Stephen King or Nora Roberts or any other perennial best-selling author. They have editors to keep them on track and to fix the dumb things that slip into our writing no matter how careful we are. It happens. But then there's the criticism for criticism's sake. And I wonder about the mindset of those who offer it.

So…basically, writers? Ignore the 1 stars and the harsh denigration of your work. Yeah, yeah. It's hard. Trust me, I am WELL aware. But I have to be honest. I don't love or even like every book I read. Why would everyone out there love mine? Who wants to be generic? Not me! Writers, how do you deal with criticism? Readers, how do you feel about those 1 star reviews? Do they make you less likely to check out a book?

Wednesday Words: World View

Posted on April 22, 2020 by Silver James

Wednesday, huh? It’s a good thing I keep a schedule on this blog. I’d be lost otherwise. Even so, I’m usually stumbling around trying to figure out just what day it is. So, over on Twitter, the theme is World or Earth. I probably have a passage including the word “world” somewhere but I’m writing about Wolves at the moment and we all know where they stand when one of theirs is threatened. This is a snippet originally from ROGUE MOON but is being expanded for MOONSTRUCK: BETRAYAL. Rudy, Isabelle, and the Wolves are about to make an earth-shaking discovery and then our favorite Command Sergeant Major sums it all up… 😉
****
Rudy stepped forward. “Who killed Isabelle’s father?”

Antoine watched him while silence hung heavy like morning fog between them. His voice sounded rusty when he finally spoke. “A man named Joseph Smith.” He glanced at Isabelle and his expression softened. “He is no more.”

“You killed him?” Rudy’s hands fisted at his side as he fought down his wolf.

“I did.”

“Good.” The tightness in Rudy’s chest lessened and he relaxed his hands.

The Wolves exchanged looks before Mac asked. “Any relation to John Smith?”

Antoine huffed out a reply. “Yes.”

“Joseph spawned John.” Camille spit out the words. “They killed my son. They killed my mate. Now they want to kill my Isabelle.”

Izzy’s gasp went unheeded. Sick to her stomach, she hugged her middle to stay calm. Nothing made sense. Her uncle was like Rudy? Her employer was a killer? Her parents had been murdered? That night left nightmares in its wake but she remembered a car wreck. Could she trust her memories? Horrified, she watched the men gathered around her grandmother, and could breathe again as Rudy spoke.

“I won’t let that happen.” Rudy’s quiet assertion sliced through the rising anger like a laser.

Sean all but chortled as he made a mental list of the items he wanted to retrieve from the vehicles they’d hidden in the bayou.

Lightfoot exchanged a look with Nate and they mouthed a silent “Nevada” at each other.

“Scorched earth.” Mac didn’t waste words. “We end Black Root here and now.

“Yeah. That.” Sean bounced on his toes, looking as excited as a puppy chewing his first piece of bacon.

Antoine paused to give his mother a kiss on the cheek then joined the Wolves. “I would be a part of this. The evil must be stopped.”

Before the Wolves could reject his offer, Rudy spoke up. “Antoine will know the bayous even better than I do. I have only hunted them a year. He has done so his entire life.”

Mac sized up Antoine and liked what he saw. Though built slightly leaner than most Wolves, he was well-muscled. His green eyes met Mac’s gaze unflinching. This was a man to be reckoned with—a man who made a good friend and a worse enemy. He extended his hand to Antoine. “Welcome aboard.”
****
There is is. It’s mostly in original form but there are changes I want to make. Additions. That sort of thing. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed. Writers, got any earth shaking or world famous words to share? Readers, do you like down-to-earth characters or out-of-this-world ones?

Tuesday Treats: Beef Tips and Noodles

Posted on April 21, 2020 by Silver James

What do you do when you need a hot and hearty meal in a hurry? And you have picky eaters? (More about that down below…) It’s simple. You throw together this fast and easy and on-so-good dish!

Total Time: 30 Min.
Prep Time: 30 Min.
Servings: 6

Enjoy the savory taste of our Beef Tips and Noodles this evening. You only need a handful of ingredients and half an hour to make Beef Tips and Noodles.

What You Need
2 cups egg noodles, uncooked
1 Tbsp. oil
1 lb. beef sirloin steak, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 jar (12 oz.) HEINZ HomeStyle Savory Beef Gravy
2 Tbsp. LEA & PERRINS Worcestershire Sauce

Let’s Make It
1 – Cook noodles as directed on package, omitting salt.
2 – Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet on medium heat. Add meat; cook 6 to 8 min. or until evenly browned, stirring frequently. Remove meat from skillet; set aside.
3 – Add onions to skillet; cook and stir 4 to 5 min. or until crisp-tender. Add garlic; cook and stir 30 sec. Stir in gravy and Worcestershire sauce. Add meat; stir. Simmer on medium-low heat 2 to 3 min. or until heated through, stirring frequently.
4 – Drain noodles; place on platter. Top with meat mixture.

Kitchen Tips
Tip 1 – Serving Suggestion: Serve with a fresh green salad tossed with your favorite KRAFT Dressing.

Tip 2 – Special Extra: Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

My Tip – Serve with hot yeast rolls or hot, homemade bread.

As per usual, CLICK THIS LINK to get all the nutritional info over at My Food and Family. Now, who would be someone who leads a busy life and has both a man who wants beef…

“Seriously, Liz, why can’t you just throw the sirloin into the frying pan, sear it, turn it over, sear it again, and let me eat it?”

“Noodles, Mama. Noodles. I want oodles of noodles!”

Yes, that would be Dr. Liz Lightfoot throwing her hands into the air in surrender. She’s a scientist who has to balance her Wolf mate’s insatiable…appetites 😉 with her son’s fascination with pasta. Liz, Michael, and Micah compromised on this recipe. FYI, she doubles the meat and the noodles because…Wolf and growing Wolf. Like father, like son. You can read Liz and Lightfoot’s story in the expanded edition of MOONSTRUCK: SECRETS or the shorter version that’s only the one book, BAD MOON. Just click on the covers or the titles for the buy links. MOONSTRUCK: SECRETS is available at LOTS of etailers while BAD MOON is available in Kindle Unlimited or to buy at Amazon. Personally? I’d go for MOONSTRUCK: SECRETS, especially if you haven’t read this series. You get the first two books plus lots of story extras.

Another Monday in the New Normal

Posted on April 20, 2020 by Silver James

And time moves on. Again, other than the weirdness of life on lockdown, my life isn’t that much different. No complaints. Except I do seem to be losing track of which day of the week it is a bit more. Ah well.

So, life in the new normal. Things happened last week. Mostly boring things but things. We lost our fiber optic line. That meant no TV. No landline phone. No Wifi (so no internet!). It was AWFUL! Yeah, yeah. First world problems, but dammit! I had to watch Live PD livestreaming on my phone Friday night. It was down for just over 24 hours. My data plan on the cell phones is shot to $h!+. Oh well.

Yesterday was the 25th anniversary of the Murrah Bombing (aka the Oklahoma City Bombing). Always a bad period for me. Stupid PTSD. Normally, when I wake up and get up to let the dogs out, I’m up. Can’t go back to sleep for love nor money. Yesterday? Up at 6, dealt with dogs and cat, then crawled back into bed and did fall back asleep until 11 a.m. 😲 Sadly, I woke up with a sleep headache and I’m still tired. Haven’t watched much TV and have avoided the news. Whatever.

In other, more interesting news, The Masked Singer didn’t unveil anyone on Wednesday but man-oh-man did the singers come out singing! The final 7 did two songs each in a “sing-along” complete with lyrics on the screen for the home audience, who was supposed to sing along, taping themselves and then posting on Twitter. Yeah. Nope. I always DVR it and watch later. The Secrets of Skinwalker Ranch is being a new obsession. Live PD as always. And The First 48 is showing new episodes. Also, Ghost Hunters is back.

Writing is…slow. A couple hundred new words here and there. Two things have diverted me from the WIPs. One is a call for submissions–contemporary or paranormal romance, short story (3K-5K words) for an anthology. I have a couple of scenes previously jotted down for a future Nightrider book that I’m considering. Also, I yanked SUPREME SACRIFICE out of the vault. It’s the first Suspense with Romantic Elements I ever wrote. It’s 25 years old and no way could I update the technology to make it contemporary and it’s not quite old enough for “historical” consideration. 😋 Anyway, I still love the characters and the story. However, the formatting is glitched due to changes in software and updates. And, I can tell it was early in my writing journey. Still, I plan to clean it up a bit and start posting chapters for a free read here on the site. Yay or nay?

Listening to Darynda Jones’s newest release, A BAD DAY FOR SUNSHINE. It’s…sort of a quirky cozy crime mystery with humor and maybe romance and a touch of the supernatural. A SMALL touch. Considering she’s known as a UF/Paranormal author, this is a detour for her, but I’m enjoying it.

It snowed last week. SNOWED, people! What is up with that?!?! This is Oklahoma. Mid-April. There’s no snow in Oklahoma! Luckily, the bluebells and the one iris I had budding survived to the cold snap. The iris bloomed this morning. It’s gorgeous. I also have small buds on one of the peonies. Crossing fingers there.

In other news, I captured Possum Blossom, the goblin kittenkat on camera. S/he is terribly shy and is close in age to Loki. I’ve tried since the first time I saw Possum to catch it. I’d totally bring it inside! I’ve added the photos below. You might need to click on them to go to the media file for a full-size version. Please note that we have a string of green LED lights on our front porch that’s on a photocell for on/off, which is why two of the pics have green tint. I did grab a pic of Possum and its mom, the little black cat, while they were eating. Possum is ALL fur.

Anyway, that’s my week. Hopefully, writing will get underway starting today. And now that the anniversary has passed, perhaps my weird sleep patterns will settle back into something a bit more normal too.

Friday Sinema: Unicorn Hunting

Posted on April 17, 2020 by Silver James

I used to collect unicorns. I still have a bunch–a few strung about the house/my office, but most packed away in a box somewhere. But when I tumbled across this video, I had to laugh, with tongue firmly in cheek. We need stuff to make us smile these days. And as one of the interviewees said, “It’s so U.P.!” 😉 I may just request a license… Have a good weekend, and who wants to join me for a hunt?
