Attitude of Gratitude

I woke up at odark thirty aka butt crack of dawn on this Nov 1 not with thoughts of holiday shopping or Nano but with grateful joy.

I walked down my steps to my office and it only grew.

I sat down at the computer and began printing off coupons and organizing my lists with happiness waking me up more than any caffeine.

For you see last Nov due to financial stress I shared a tiny apartment with my family of six. And one of those six was away for over a year.

So now that this holiday season we are in a large, beautiful home I have to get up early and clip coupons and work long hours to afford.

I can't help but be thankful.

Because I get to work those hours from this home and all my family is here with me. And thousandaire or not I know I'd still be clipping coupons.

What were your thoughts this morning?

Sweet Saturday Samples: If you can tie shoes you can tie a corset.

This is from my next release Scent of Witch with Astraea Press. This is an interaction between Mauve de Paer and Fionn Sweeney. The last Scent Witch and an Immortal Tracker who hunts them.
The sample and the release are both PG. Enjoy.

Even if he was toying with her she would give him a show, but fear would not be part of this production. With an eye only on the mission in front of her, she squared her shoulders.
“Can you tie shoes ?” She asked the man who accelerated her pulse. He pulled his eyebrows together but nodded.
 “Well then you can tie a corset, can you help me?” She nodded at her back. A look passed through his eyes before his face became emotionless again. But he moved behind her.
