White-out Christmas!

Okay, whoever is invoking the Snow Gods, you can stop already. I’m running out of places to put it when I shovel.

Aside from shoveling the white stuff, still working on shoving projects out the door. Want. Done. Also, have been cooking up new stuff for the new year. But more about that when I’m done shoveling and shoving stuff out the door.

Hope everybody is staying warm!

Happy Solstice!

It’s official, the longest night of the year has arrived and the days will now begin to get longer. Of course, we’ll have to dig our way out from under a snowbank to SEE the sun…

Wrapping up (but not presents)

Yes, I have been vewy quiet the last month, wrapping up projects and various end of year things. School is wrapping for winter break today. During the break, we’ll be doing accelerated math because the kid is ready to jump a grade and can as soon as she’s completed 80% of the work. The huband has projects to wrap up before Jan. 1, and I am trying to shove my projects out thte door, too. Off to do it.

Your bookseller recommends

Need any last-minute holiday gifts? Browse a bookstore and ask what your bookseller recommends. Booksellers are amazing resources. I’m currently reading a fascinating, engrossing book that I would never in a million years have picked up, let alone purchased, if my local bookseller hadn’t recommended it.

The book I’m reading is Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. She’s known for her fiction, but this non-fiction work is one I’m very glad I didn’t miss. It deals with the politics and practicalities of food production, from small family farms to organic to mass production for cheap calories and the resulting nutritional, economic and ecological cost.

Whatever your interests, or those of the hard-to-shop-for person on your list, ask what your bookseller recommends. You may be in for a wonderful surprise.

Out of this World Lover’s first review!

Wild on Books has reviewed Out of this World Lover! The anthology will release from Pocket in Jan. and features tales by Shannon Stacey, Summer Devon (aka Kate Rothwell) and myself.

“Each story is as erotic as it is romantic, and the paranormal/science fiction themes prove a wonderful complement to each other…WOLF IN CHEAP CLOTHING is a great example of why Charlene Teglia is one of my auto-buy authors.”

Thank you very much, Jennifer.
