For fan girls of Kim Harrison like me, INTO THE WOODS is just what we needed to hold us off until the release of the next Hollows book.

INTO THE WOODS is a collection of previously written novellas by Kim and a bonus new novella written in Trent's POV.

It also contains a sneak peak of what Kim may be giving us in the future after the Hollows. As we all know, Kim has been preparing us for the end of the hollows for a couple of years now. I think she said she is bringing it to an end at book 13. We are currently awaiting book 11 so, not too many more adventures left with Ivy, Rachel and Jenks.

IN TO THE WOODS will be released Oct. 9th.

PUPPY'S WALK


Well, we are moved for real now. Puppy has walked the entire neighborhood with Mommy! This is a picture of puppy after our walk. He has been waking me up at 6:30 in the morning to let me know that the other Mommy's were out walking their puppy's.




I had to wait to walk my Baby until I found a harness. He's a Houdini when it comes to slipping his collar and being in a new neighborhood with new people could mean trouble for a puppy who thinks he's my body guard.

With the harness, we walked the entire neighborhood without incident. He was so proud of his new walking accessory, I had trouble getting it off him. LOL

EVER AFTER BOOK 11 HOLLOWS SERIES



Kim Harrison has revealed the cover of book 11 in her Hollows series! It's 100% awesome! Love it! I'm really looking forward to this one. Rachel is on the cover looking like she is ready to Kick Ass!

With all that power emanating from her, I guess she is now longer wearing that bracelet that mutes her powers. The release date is 1/22/13 for this one!

WHAT'S GOING ON?



Life with the Michaels! LOL My oldest Baby is starting college this week! Wow, how time flies... And my youngest is changing schools with the new move. Needless to say, I'm one busy woman. My parents are coming this week to get a peek at the new house. So, I don't think things will be settling down anytime soon.

I've found a little time here and there to at least start thinking about the direction of my writing and in particular my WIP. But, something always seems to come up.

Yesterday I called the water company to make sure they had changed and were now under my name. They were not. So, I had to drive downtown and take care of that. Drove my daughter to her first day of class and picked her up.

Speaking of downtown, they are doing an excellent job of revitalizing it. The new city hall houses the water company. It's a 3 story all white dome like building with golden angelic statues doting the outside landscape. I'll try to get a pic up soon. The cute little be speckled older woman at the reception desk was nice enough to give me a handout of the progress so far and a picture of what the final project will look like. Looks lovely! I could see Raven or another character making a short stop here.

Anyway, I have to get ready for work.

Now it's starting to feel like home. I have all my babies, four legged babies included. I've got my cable and internet up and running and today, my sercurity company is here installing their hardware. Can't be too careful.

I'm almost finished re-reading Kim Harrison's DEAD WITCH WALKING. I had to break in my new home in with one of my favorites. Having Rachel, Ivy and Jenks hanging out really makes it home.

Now if I could just get all this unpacking done.

Hey! All moved in! Just got the internet hook-up in my new house and loving it so far. I'll be dog tired tomorrow at work because this guy was determined to get me up and running tonight. So, I now have internet and my 200 plus channels.  Nothing happening in the writing front. Moving takes a lot out of you. Working this week so, writing is on the back burning until Monday or Tues.

NEW HOUSE!

Well, I got all my stuff moved to the new house. That's the big changes I've been talking about. Just finished putting together my new mesh manager's chair for my desk. I love it! As soon as I get settled, no excuses. It's been a long hard couple of years but, things are finally starting to turn around.

MOVING DAY!

That's right! I've moved to a nice quiet little neighborhood closer to work. Gas prices be darned. It's so beautiful with trees and dogs walking their owners. There's a pool and a tennis court and what's even better is my BFF lives on the same street! How cool is that?!

Hopefully, I will get my internet up Monday. Too excited for anymore words.

Busy day ahead. Lots of stuff to do but, hopefully this insanity will be simmering down to a slow boil after today. I'm looking forward to settling down and everything going back to normal:) Probably won't be back on to update the blog for a week or so. I'll fill you in later.
