Some Days…are just like that…
Working on things. Working out things.
In the meantime, Happy Hanukah/Hanukkah/Chanukah/Chrismukah to all my friends and family. The first night was last night. I would have made latkes (potato pancakes) but the oil would have been too much for me in my current state of hair-tearing.
Hmmm…what’s new? My puppy is now six months old and 58 pounds. He goes in to the vet’s to be neutered on Monday. He’s recently taken an interest in females, as in, followed a bitch in heat for a quarter mile yesterday at the park before he realized I was waaaaaaay behind him and before the idiots who thought it was a grand idea to take their female lab to an off-leash dog park decided to stop and wait for me to catch up so I could leash my puppy. I’ve posted about this before. Why would you take your dog in heat to an off leash dog park? Not everyone has their dog neutered, and even if they do, the bitch (no insult to the dog intended) drives all the male dogs crazy. This does not compute.
So here’s some bright news on a gloomy day - Some of you already know and many of you followed my story of the harrowing canoe trip into the Boundary Waters of Northern Minnesota. My contemporary romance, Pushing Her Boundaries, based on said trip, has been contracted by Siren for release in April, 2011. The print book will come out the following September. I had maybe the most fun writing this story I’ve ever had writing anything. I think you’ll like it. You all will be the first to see a cover when I get one.

I am looking forward to reading that book!
Congrats on the contract.
We have three dogs, all large, males and we don’t even take them to the park when other dogs are around. It’s small and each owner gives the others space to play and run the dogs without distractions. I couldn’t imagine if a dog in heat came around.
I didn’t get my newsletter this month. I always get my newsletter.

I am happy something good came from such a bizarre experience. You made lemonade!

Thanks, Amber - My newsletter should be coming soon. I have a person who sends them out for me. She usually sends me a copy too and I haven’t received mine, but she’s loaded it onto the site. Our dog park is lots of square miles, it’s just that most of it is on-leash, but since the on-leash is wilderness and nobody but me goes there, Jake is off-leash most of the time. The wilderness part is the best part.
Oh Steph…I got sooooo much good material!

Woot! Congrats on the contract Julia. Glad to hear you had fun writing it. I like potato pancakes too.

Thanks, Delilah. I like potato pancakes, but man, does my house smell like grease afterward! For days!

Congrats, Julia. Okay, I’m late to the party. I’ve got to find out about that canoe trip. Guess I’ll be picking up that book!!

Pushing Her Boundaries is going to be great! I can’t wait to read that book.
Happy Hanukkah!
PS Poor little Jake… he’s going to pout when he finds out about Monday’s surprise (But you’re doing the right thing)

Ciara - you’ll have to look backwards and read about the adventure - if you have time…it’s a series of four posts about the Boundary Waters.
Oh, Kat…I had so much fun writing down that story! Yup, Jake is not gonna be happy. He’s definitely a testosterone-laden little guy. My husband is calling it a bris…
