Well, Lizzie made the mistake of going after a bumble bee. I told her to leave it alone but she wouldn’t listen. She has a sore paw but she’ll be okay. She’s still pestering the daylights out of me.

I like to doze out by the garden where all the bugs are flitting around. She goes running through everything and jumping on stuff.  The mistress is going to skin her alive if she doesn’t stop pouncing on the plants. Oh, and this is Little Bit.  She can’t type with her sore paw.

So far the mistress had gotten several bell peppers 10 squash and three cucumbers out of the garden. The tomatoes are beginning to turn red now. Won’t be long for them.

She’s been writing on something but I’m not sure what. I’ll try to catch a peek and let you know. I think it’s another of those cat books she does.  Anyway, better go out and check on what Lizzy is into now. She really needs something to calm her down.

Little Bit

Lizzy here. The garden is looking much better. One tomatoe plant is coming back to life so she only lost two. We got a pepper off the bell pepper plant. I nosed it a couple of times and told her it was ready.   She got a squash of the squash plant and there are babby tomatoes too. They cucumbers are taking over the butter beans so she is going to pull out a couple of them. I get to play in the ones she pulls out before she throws them away.

Little Bit doesn’t play as much now that it’s gotten so hot. He just stretches out under the carport waiting for a chance to slip into the house. I only go in once a day. I’m nice. The grandfather is out a lot during the day walking around or swinging in the new swing he built. It’s neat. I get up in it and swing with him. It’s actually kinda fun. Little Bit will sometimes come out and lie under the swing.

Well, that’s all the news for now. I’ll check back with you again later.

Lizzy

I’m just buzzing over here. The mistress made another sale! She sold her first book in a series called Tales of the Cat named Jaguar Nights.  She’ll give us more on it once she gets dates and all.  I’m so excited.

The garden is looking good except for two tomoatoe plants.  They are really slouchy looking. Don’t know why. I haven’t been around them and neither has Little Bit. They smell funny.   Now the peas.. I like hunting in them.  Lots of bugs to chase.

Well, that’s all the news for now. Congratulate the mistress. She loves to hear from you.

Lizzy

Oh, the mistress is so excited today.  She has release dates for both her book and her short story.  Little Bit and I are rolling around on the floor all excited for her.  They are being released through The Wild Rose Press and the dates are…

 Ghostly Mistakes will be out in e-book format on October 3, 2008

It will be out in print April 3, 2009 

You just have to be excited!

Her Short Story, Opposites Attract will be released through Dark Lord Castles or DLC

September 4, 2008  I loved both of them. But then I liked the cat one most. I mean..what do you expect.

Stay tuned, she’ll be back with some details and more information in the next week.

Lizzy

Lizzie here everyone.  We are anxiously awaiting a release date for both the short story and Ghostly Mistakes.  The mistress is on pins and needles.

 Meanwhile. Her garden is coming up. Lots of little green sprouts all up and down the rows.  She’s happy but fusses at me for walking down the middles. Sheesh. I won’t trample them.  Course they are fun to bat around but don’t tell her. I’m careful, I promise!

Well, that’s it for now. Little Bit is napping so I think I’ll go join him. The sun is nice today. Later!

Lizzie

 Lizzy here!  Here is her cover for her short story, Opposites Attract.  It looks soooooo good.  Tell her what you think.

Lizzy 

We are really happy here. The mistress sold a short story to Dark Lord Castle. We’ll let you know when it’s out. The cover should be up in a couple of days. 

The mistress, me and Little Bit planted a garden yesterday. I have to admit, I didn’t do much but LIttle Bit did stand around and give her encouragement.  I had too much fun chasing bugs.

She planted tomato plants, peppers, cucumbers, squash, okra, butter beans and purple hull peas.  She’s feeling it today though.  I can’t wait for them to get big because that means more bugs for me to chase!

Be sure to check back in the next few days for her cover for the short story and let her know what you think!

Lizzy

Guess what everyone! She has her new cover.  Don’t it look great?  Oh shut up Little Bit. I know how to talk.  We are so proud of the cover and can’t wait for the book to be released.  Little Bit won the toss over who gets to read it first, but I bet I can get the mistress to let me see her copy.  Be sure and let her know what you think!

Lizzy

Guess what!! The mistress has a new contract with The Wild Rose Press.  Her book, Ghostly Mistakes has a new home.  We’re all excited around here.  Even Little Bit is smiling.  Well, sort of.  Anyway, check back for more information.  Be sure and let the mistress know you’re there.

Lizzie

Okay everyone, Lizzy here to announce Nita Wick’s new cover for her How Faerie Dust Is Made  It will be out sometime in November so remember to keep watch.  You can check out details on her website  www. nitawick .com

In fact, bookmark it so you can check back frequently until she has a release date.

Here it is, what do you guys think?  Let me know. I think it’s really neat!  I want to know how faerie dust is made but my mistress tells me never mind. What’s up with that anyway?

 
Oh and big news!! The air conditioner is going to be installed tomorrow.  The mistress is sooo happy about that and I know the grandparents are happy as well.  They went out of town today and that’s good so they aren’t here during the hot part of the day.  They are planning a big trip to a place called Hilton Head in South Carolina I think.  They are meeting with some friends today to plan it out. Anyway, it will be cool here soon.

I suppose the mistress will get a lot of writing done while they are gone. Snicker.  Little Bit says it will give her a break so she can relax some.  I like it when they are here cause we can go out more.  Oh well, it’s only nine or ten days.  Maybe the mistress will let us out while she’s at work.  Keep your fingers crossed everyone!

Oh and check back later tonight.  She is going to try and put an excerpt or blurb or whatever it’s called on the blog from Nita’s book for you to read.  Plus, she may get some pictures loaded from the Natchez Trace.  I sure hope she does.  Little Bit says she got some neat ones of a momma raccoon and her two kits!  I didn’t know raccoons could have kittens?  Did you?

That’s all for now.  Let me know what you think of Nita’s cover okay?
