So we stay in and try to be entertained. In that regard, my author spotlight at N. N. Light's Book Heaven is scheduled for Monday, July 29. I'm excited to interact with you so why not stop by and say "hi"? I don't have link quite yet but will post as soon as I can Monday morning. In the interim, you can see other posts here:

Another 5 Star Review for GINGER on Amazon! Thank you Cara Bristol:
"In book 3 of this post-apocalyptic sci-fi romance series, Ginger and her genetically enhanced sisters, who’ve been living in an abandoned installation in Colorado, are trekking to Montana after their hideaway is discovered and invaded by the alien Friems. They going to meet up with a military group intending to fight the Friems and take back Earth. But along the way, the sisters’ convoy is attacked by alien drones, and Ginger runs off, luring the drones away, saving most of her people." Cara Bristol

Another 5 star review for Poppy:
She's coming! SAGE, Book 4 in the Chimeras series. She's the warrior. The protector. But most times she's just a pain in the ass. Brash, determined, uncontrollable. A man's woman. Look for her soon!

It's always satisfying to pass that 30,000 mark. My Chimeras series are all in the 50,000 to 55,000 range so hitting he 30,500 mark is a milestone. I've reached that in Book 4 of The Chimeras series: Sage.
Sage is the warrior. Tough, resilient and self-serving, but along comes Gideon, a guy she can't seem to love and leave. What's with that?
I hope to have this book ready by late spring/early summer, so look for it. In the meantime, if you like scifi/action/alien invasion, you might try the first three books in the series: Saffron, Poppy and Ginger.

Spring is just around the corner and I am so ready for it. Seems as though this winter has been a long one or perhaps I'm just getting old and the cold weather affects me more. No matter! Spring is almost here!
Soon, I'll be out in the yard pulling out old plants in preparation for planting new. Yard cleanup, and I can tell I've got my work cut out for me. I have to admit, I hate mowing but generally my son handles that aspect for me.
The tulips have already broke through as well as patches of daffodils and crocus. Love my tulips. Unfortunately, so do the squirrels. Who knew squirrels would eat tulips but they do. Ornery critters.
Anyway, with all that's going on in the world, I'm content to stay in my own little corner and enjoy the benefits it provides.
Here's to Spring!

We all have goals, and none of them are the same for the most part. My goal is to finish all six books in my Chimeras series. I have already published SAFFRON and POPPY, and I'm almost finished with the third in the series, GINGER.
The Chimeras are genetically engineered females. They are faster, stronger, with keen intellect, eyesight and hearing, and they were bred to lead humanity's fight for survival after the alien invasion.
Each girl has her special abilities, engineered by their birth mother and the sperm of a chosen male, one with superior intelligence in his given field. Saffron is a born leader, Poppy a healer, Ginger a teacher, Sage the warrior, Anise the computer brainiac and, lastly, Thyme, born with a combination of all the abilities of her older sisters.
I've had a good time writing these stories. So many ideas keep popping into my head for each girl, and I'm using my less-than-brainiac mind to keep track of those ideas.
I hope you will take the time to read SAFFRON's story and, perhaps, it will tantalize you enough to keep reading.

Happy Fourth of July! Hope this weekend and the 4th are great ones for you. Time for family, camping, barbecues, parades, all in honor of our great country and being a part of something big!
I don't have anything wonderful planned but I will keep an eye on the events in my area and find joy in doing that.
Be safe with the fireworks and enjoy the day!

"...The descriptive narration works hand-in-hand with the world-building. There’s a feeling of desperation throughout the narration. There’s also an undercurrent of isolation as each character comes to grips with whatever is happening. Each scene is described vividly so the reader feels the stark emotions and tension..." N.N. Light's Book Heaven.

My mother was a stay-at-home housewife, which back then was pretty much the norm. She was a pretty woman. Beautiful smile and large, hazel eyes. She was an amazing cook, and growing up, she was my best friend. She could be tough, don't get me wrong, and she had her little eccentricities, but she was a good mom. Our house was always clean and well-ordered. She loved her family above all else and her family is what she was proud of. I know that if push came to shove, my other would be in there shoving for me, no matter what the cost.
So many memories. She had a good sense of humor, maybe not the impish, scamp humor of my father, but a good one all the same. She could do her own practical jokes - her favorite was catching a spider (which she was not scared of) and chasing Dad around the house. He hated that game!
I and my three siblings were blessed to be a part of her family. We learned so many things from her. I remember evenings when we were cleaning up dinner, washing dishes, drying them, etc., and my sisters, my mother, and I would sing. She had a lovely voice and we made quite a good singing group. She was a great dancer and Dad and she cut quite a rug when they were out.
Momma wasn't perfect, but she was a great mother. I miss her every day and often times, I pull out a momento just to feel close to her.
I hope you grew up with a special mom, and if not, make those memories with your children. I was blessed with three wonderful sons and there is not a day that I don't feel overwhelming love for each one. They are my true blessings.
Love to you all, and for all you Mothers, soon to be Mothers, Mothers-in-Law, Happy Mother's Day!

Come on! I know you have! Even for just a few years to correct some wrong or change a little part of your history? We all do. But in reality, would I want to change my life? If I never married my first husband, I wouldn't have my two oldest sons, and that I couldn't endure. I've came up with ideas to get around that - stealing his semen, meeting him for just the nights I figure they were conceived - that sort of thing. But really, not feasible. What if the wrong little swimmer made it through? Nope, can't change that part of my life. But there are other parts I would gladly change, given the chance. Mistakes I made and chances I could have taken to meet my second husband earlier, or prevent some of the disasters that have hit my family. Hindsight is always better than foresight so they say.
Time travel is a concept that is so enticing. I would love to be able to travel back and view history from a bubble of safety. I don't know that I'd actually like to take part, but I would like to see life as it happened in earlier times. See Rome when it was in its glory, as well as ancient Egypt before its downfall. Perhaps even view Cleopatra or watch as Boudica fought the Romans. So many things to see. Exciting thoughts, but impossible. Some say time travel will happen, and if it did, where would you go? I'd have a hard time with that one. Too many choices.
Anyway, I've recently added another chapter in the Time Warriors series, bringing that group to four. I had thought that series was finished but I had so many requests to continue the journey, I caved.
Travel back 40,000 years. Could you survive? The Time Warriors Series, available on Amazon.
