My writing space – photos and info on where you write
My nest.
I’m pretty sure if my husband told me the walls in our house had to be blank/unadorned, I’d divorce him. My house, and my office in particular, is awash with photos and pictures, and more specifically pictures with words. How can I be a writer and not love to be surrounded by words?
In my office there are walls with plaques dedicated to my beloved furry friends, both past and present. There are the diplomas that represent the results of hard work, time and money. There are inspirational words and funny (and sometimes a little snarky) sayings. I love funny!
I have the beautiful works of art that my beloved niece has given me over the years…all framed because I treasure them. I have photos of family, friends, dogs and cats that I will love forever. Whenever I feel down or lost, I turn to them for a pickup. I am behind on scrapbooking all of the cards and tickets that I keep, so my desk is a bit of a mess.
The walls are painted a color called Muse…I pick my paint like I do my Derby horses J Muse was one of my more successful picks. My husband painted my office and added the chair rail and crown molding for one of my birthdays. He said never again after he did our living room.
In the spring a cherry blossom tree blooms outside the window of my office. In the winter I wrap presents and get my cards ready sitting on the floor on my rug. I don’t always write there because after teleworking all day, sometimes I don’t want to look at my work computer for fear that I might “accidentally” throw it out the window lol.
Still that office is where I gather all my inspiration and thoughts for stories. That’s where I was when Gracie and the Cathalians knocked on my door…ignoring the Jane Austen Shh I’m Reading sign. J

Sometimes things are lost for a very long time…and then they are found.
Take Gracie for example, a woman who lost everything, her life, her family, even her name, but now she is a Cathalian warrior of Antecede blessed with powers, which aren’t yet fully realized. Her elder and nemesis, Donavan, finally granted the former professor an opportunity to train a new warrior. Her joy turns to shock when she meets her great, great, great, great grandson, Henry, accompanied by his wisecracking best friend, Milo. Henry recognizes his long dead ancestor right away, and it doesn’t take the Cathalians long to realize that this meeting was no accident.
Gracie and the warriors of Antecede soon discover that they aren’t the only ones laying a claim on their new charges. Menacing enemies from the South and their hired mercenary assassin, Revilan, the Bowman, have also taken an interest. Come along with Gracie, Donavan, and their fellow warriors on a perilous quest to protect all that is good and right from the evil that threatens it, and along the way discover what else was lost.

Excerpt
Gracie hadn’t seen Donovan since he rendered her and her charges unconscious, except to sense him speaking to Henry earlier in the day. He appeared to be his normal, arrogant self then, but right now he looked a bit wild. He was truly splendid like an untamed avenger, and she was a little in awe of the warrior coming towards her. Again, it was unfortunate for Gracie that she wasn’t as quick as her little beasties and didn’t think to try making herself scarce. She had never mastered that skill as a mortal or as a warrior. Drama followed her wherever she went. She met Donovan’s stare head on, shoulders back.
He stopped, breathing hard, hands on his hips, not far from where she stood, and now she realized Donovan wasn’t just angry, he appeared almost unhinged, and something else, some other undefined sentiment, which he quickly tried to hide. She caught the emotion with her amplified senses but failed to decipher it before it disappeared. Her elder’s appearance perplexed and confused Gracie. He was pale, and it was no small thing for a man so bronzed to look like a ghost. As if on cue, the wind picked up upon his arrival, and his hair whipped around his face. Donovan held Gracie’s stare until she dropped her eyes because the residual fire in his unnerved her.
