Trouble with Toys!

Trouble with toys! Yep! I’m in trouble again, Miss Penny speaking. I have a lot of toys, some weird ones, like a furry dog that’s bigger than me, I can’t get my mouth around it. I don’t always get how the two legged think? You all know my favourite toy is Pink Baby but socks are a very close second, then comes Mouse-with-a-tail, that’s particularly good for shaking, so is Lanky Monkey, he’s a lot of fun as arms and legs flap around my head. Bedtime is playtime, Susan is too busy writing during the day, Lavender Cottage Book #4 is way past the halfway mark. Did you know there are four dogs in this series, Buddy Boy is a laid back Bichon Frise and Arthur, he’s more my style a wiry terrier and two Golden Retrievers. Ah, where was I? Playtime, first we play socks. I always win. Pink Baby is fun too, she squeaks but Susan tease me and hides her under the covers and that makes me mad. So you’re wondering about the trouble part. Well, it’s like this, I like my toys in bed with me and I let Susan share my night-time bed, its quite big enough for the two of us and my toys. Here’s the problem, Mouse-with-the-tail and Pink Baby squeak, its an interesting sound but it must hurt Susan’s delicate ears. Have you noticed how small human ears are? Anyway, last night Pink Baby got between us and…can you guess what happened? Yep, she squeaked very loudly and woke us up and then Mouse-with-the-tail got wrapped around me and made a heck of a squeak. Susan sat bolt upright and grabbed the toys and threw them, I kid you not, she threw them on the floor. I am greatly disturbed and stare at my favourite toys lying motionless on the floor. Then, she gets mad with me and tells me to go to sleep. I don’t like being in trouble so I pretended to sleep. I’m miffed, so I’m not talking about books today, you’ll have to read Susan’s News tomorrow, Click this link to subscribe or this one for last weeks Importance of Setting the Scene Click here.

Hair or Fur, Coloured or Not?

Hair or fur, coloured or not, that is the question, Miss Penny speaking. My boss, the author, is normally a quiet unassuming introvert, quite the opposite to me, I like to be the centre of attention, Princess Penny—just a reminder. But not Susan, except when it comes to her hair. Susan has pearly-white hair. Psst! She’s old. Oops! I need to be careful that look was beyond the evil eye, even menacing. Gosh, where was I? Ah, Susan’s hair. You will never believe this but she came home the other day with … wait for it … blue, pink and purple hair down one side. I kid you not, not such a quiet introvert after all. But, when someone suggested Susan dye my hair, which by the way is fur not hair, to match hers I freaked out. YIKES! No coloured fur for me. Then I noticed all was not well,

Susan’s not keen on the pink, I don’t know why, if I was to have a colour, pink would be my choice. Pink Princess Penny, that has a nice ring to it, but coloured fur is definitely not my style. Two days later she comes home with a lot of blue a bit of purple and no pink. Guess what? She said she made a mistake because the new look included new purple glasses but with all the blue they don’t match. I will never understand the two legged logic. Mind you right now I don’t think Susan understands either but thankfully she’s still writing. Lavender Cottage Book Four is now at the halfway mark.

Perplexed Penny!

Perplexed Penny, that’s me and I’m worried, Miss Penny speaking. I’m sensing change. Susan announced she was moving from Facebook to her own Susan’s News. Oh, I’m being nudged to give you the link to sign up today. Um … this looks serious. She says it’s important to switch so you don’t miss anything. Really! Where does that leave me and my blog? Is Susan forgetting I’m the most important thing in her life? Just a reminder I am Princess Penny. Emotions have

been high around here, but I bravely, put my princess attitude to one side to comfort Susan. I ask you this, who gave Susan cuddles and licks? Who listened to her rants? She may seem in control but she was very upset and then … oh boy, meek and mild Susan got really, really mad. I had to plug my ears—the language;

I need say no more. It was after she calmed down that the changes started. Great concentration on a MailChimp email, that’s where Susan’s News lives. Having the advantage of giving cuddles in Susan’s arms while she typed, awkwardly with one hand—that’s okay she manages, I just snuggle closer. Anyway, I could see

what she was writing and here’s my problem, lots of talk about the things she is offering her readers, she’s quite generous with free books and stories and a whopping big rant about Facebook ads, but very little about me and my blog. I don’t like being ignored, I think it’s time for me to rant. Is she changing my blog or … um dare I say it … ending my blog? No, she wouldn’t would she? Do you understand why I’m perplexed? Here’s the link to the announcement, So, what do you think? Is Miss Penny speaking for the chopping block? Susan said all will be revealed on Sunday in Susan’s News. I did get a cuddle and she whispered that I was not to worry. Umm … we’ll see! All for today

Not MY Birthday!

Not My birthday! Miss Penny speaking, as you all know I’m a princess but the lime light turned to Susan this week, which was very disconcerting. You guessed, it was Susan’s birthday and a big birthday. Wow! I’m not allowed to say how old, but in dog years, remember 7 years to 1 human year, she is 11.43 years old. I choose not comment on this picture. Delusional I think. Really! Susan who are you kidding? Maybe thirty years ago.

Good try! Maybe eons ago and that dog is not me

Um … not that old. I’m not sure what all the fuss is about except I’ve been locked in the office a lot while she goes galavanting to meet friends. One day it was to the park (we’re still under Covid restrictions) and get this I wasn’t included. I kid you not, she went to the park without me. She said I wasn’t allowed in that part of the park. So, I suggested she go to the part where I was allowed. But no, I was

abandoned in the office with the door closed, I hate the door closed. And then, the very next day, her actual birthday, I realized as the make-up and a new blouse went on she was off again. I tried to hide but I was unceremoniously shoved in the office, abandoned again. As if that was not bad enough, I had to put up with the phone jangling in my ears and people kept popping up on her laptop screen and … Yep, I, the princess, was ignored. I am contemplating what to do to get attention. Maybe I’ll chew a shoe or eat Milkbones in the bed. The problem is I get into trouble and she did give me extra cuddles last night. I heard rumblings there is a BBQ tonight and I’m included, now that’s exciting. I’m just teasing, well

sort of… I am miffed but I do wish Susan a Happy Birthday. Oh, here comes the evil eye, but there’s not much to add today. Susan has been working feverishly on advertising the second edition of Prelude to Sophie’s War, both ebook and print are now available on Amazon and Heart of Sophie’s War is available on preorder. Susan is now thinking about the next book In The Wake of Sophie’s War coming 2022 and another a Lavender Cottage Book is yet to be finished.

The 2^nd edition of Prelude to Sophie’s War is live on Amazon. Book two, Heart of Sophie’s War is up for pre-order. If you haven’t read Prelude, get a copy now and pre-order Heart ready to read June 29. I am so excited I could twirl and chase my tail. I’m a dog and no I don’t think Susan will join me. Now, that image is funny. All for now folks, see you next week.

If you like the elegance of Edwardian society, bold characters, and decades-spanning adventures, then you’ll love this historical fiction trio. New covers coming in the next a week or so.

The Windy Tower!

The windy tower, Miss Penny speaking. No … not that kind of wind! Although too many liver treats and it could be. This big tall box arrived by Fedex. Susan was none too pleased as they left it in the lobby and she had to haul it up to the apartment. The box contained a tall white thing, that required some assembly.

The only kind of screwdriver that is safe with Susan.

Have you ever seen Susan with a screwdriver? Psst! She may have nimble fingers for writing but with a screwdriver … it’s hard to watch. The screws on the bottom seemed a bit loose, but what do I know, I’m a dog. After much fiddling and cursing and derogatory comments about the designer of the contraption, I hear a high pitched beep and it blows wind into the office, another beep and it goes

faster, I’m curious and sniff, it meets my approval the wind is fresh and cool. I forgot to mention it was 30c that day. I’m liking this windy tower until … it scared me to death and started moving from side to side. I knew those screws were not tight enough. Oh no! It’s going to fall. Susan do something? She laughs, can you believe that? The windy tower is still standing, it’s okay it’s supposed to oscillate. Hee-hee, do you like my big words. Oops! Here comes the evil eye, I’d better do my author assistant job. Time to celebrate! The 2^nd edition of Prelude to Sophie’s War is live on Amazon. Book two, Heart of Sophie’s War is up for pre-order. If you haven’t read Prelude, get a copy now and pre-order Heart ready to read June 29. I am so excited I could twirl and chase my tail. I’m a dog and no I don’t think Susan will join me. Now, that image is funny. All for now folks, see you next week. Note: The cover nay look different as Amazon is a bit a slow updating.

Playing Sock!

Playing sock is my favourite game, Miss Penny speaking, well almost, chasing squirrels is my most favourite but Susan won’t let squirrels in the apartment.Umm…I wonder why? Anyway back to socks, I hope I’m not boring you. In the past we’ve talked about me pulling socks of Susan’s feet, this is different. No! I don’t have a foot fetish, well maybe a sock fetish. Psst! I do love

socks, in or out of feet. We play sock at night when we go to bed. Susan teases me, her fingers creep slowly towards the sock and I wait, wait, wait, I’m concentrating very hard with one eye on Susan and one eye on the sock… here it comes, slowly, take it easy I must leap before Susan grabs the sock, her fingers are getting closer, steady, the timing is critical. I pounce on it, I’ve got it I pull, Susan pulls and the battle has begun. The sock is stretchy, I almost fall off the bed; wouldn’t that be embarrassing. I’m still pulling and yank it right out of

Susan’s hand. Now, I shake the heck out of it. Hee-hee! I’d like to see Susan do that, her head would drop off. Um… no, that wouldn’t be good. Sometimes she makes a puppet and that really gets me going, as it turns into a thing and I leap on it, yesterday I almost grabbed Susan’s fingers, phew that was a close one. Oh, here comes the evil eye, reminding me I’m supposed to be talking about writing. I have to say Susan has been exceptionally cranky, slamming-door cranky, I might be exaggerating just a tad, poor Susan was upset. I gave her lots of licks. The Sophie’s War covers are the problem.The first book is done and looks great. Prelude to Sophie’s War – 2nd edition – London 1915 Sophie starts her nursing career, nursing bombed out mother’s and children as well as soldiers. German Zeppelin attacks are not the only thing Sophie battles at Bartley Hospital. Will her courage be enough to keep her sane and alive?

But, book two not so good. Plus someone ripped the design apart. Psst! I hate to say it but rightly so, it was terrible. However, finally great news; we have success. A totally different design for the Heart of Sophie’s War and it looks great. Sophie achieves her goal of nursing soldiers in the Great War, the horrors are more than she bargained for on the Western Front.

Then just like magic, the cover for book three, not yet written, just happened.

We have a mock-up of In the Wake of Sophie’s War scheduled for late 2022. Now the interesting thing about this book is that you have to read books one and two before you understand the cover of book 3. Who is that guy and what is he doing?

That’s all folks, Miss Penny and Susan signing off. See release date below.

If you like the elegance of Edwardian society, bold characters, and decades-spanning adventures, then you’ll love this historical fiction trio. New covers coming in the next a week or so.

Office Al Fresco!

Office Al fresco, meaning to be in the fresh air, Miss Penny Speaking. Did you know al fresco is Italian, I am a pretty smart dog, but then you already know that. Susan is raising her eyebrows, I’m not sure I want to know what she’s thinking, princess, probably. It is very hot in Ottawa, a humidex of 39c, now that is hot especially as it is only May, which means the office goes outside on the balcony, see what I mean, ‘al fresco –

outside’. I like it out here, I can watch the little people down below, although it’s frustrating to see the squirrels. It’s a bit odd, that they climb trees but not this building, if they climbed up her I might be able to play with them. There is one problem with being on the balcony, Susan often goes inside and leaves me outside and, you know how I feel about being alone. She did it this morning, we were having a quiet coffee, when she went inside and forgot me. That’s perhaps not how Susan would see it. I like to play, run and twirl, which I did when she

tried to pick me up. You see I can’t jump over the step, well I probably can but I don’t try. Anyway when I ran off doing twirls on the balcony she left me for a very long time, remember the hallway incident, well that was bad enough but the balcony is outside, all kinds of things could happen. I noticed two spider webs; what if Spiderman came to visit and swept me up and took me away. See, Susan’s story telling is rubbing off. She did rescue me and I’m okay, in case you were wondering. Oh, here it comes the evil eye. As Susan’s assistant I’d better get to work. Susan asked me to remind you that several chapters of The Blue Pendant are available to watch and listen on Youtube ( sorry, with old cover). At long last, it sure took her awhile, I can tell you the cover for Prelude to Sophie’s War is finally done. It looks pretty good. Now we are going through the agonizing process of figuring out the cover for Heart of Sophie’s War. Psst! I am not looking forward to this as Susan cannot find what she wants and she is getting very cranky. On a higher note the beta copies are going out and it looks as though the release will be the end of June. That’s all folks.

A Tale of Squirrels

A tale of squirrels, Miss Penny speaking. Hee-hee, get it tale, tail? The princess is being clever today, so here’s the tale. Squirrels drive me crazy, they are fluffy, fast and fascinating but I have yet to catch one. They are about the

same size as my pink baby, but not pink, if you’re seeing pink squirrels you might want to ease up on the wine, squirrels are grey or black. Like pink baby I could hold one in my mouth without hurting it, of course. Unlike my pink baby the squirrels are alive and run around playing but they never invite me to play. I

stand very still and watch, studying them figuring out how I can join them. Once they see me they stop playing, sit up and watch me, the cheek of it! Tails twitch as do their whiskers and they hold nuts in their paws and ignore me, that’s an insult to the princess. At least they could share but no they nibble away. I concentrate very hard and plan my move. Boom! I make a run for it, but alas my leash isn’t long enough and then it takes me a minute to get my breath as I choke. I give Susan a cross look; she’s on the other end of the leash. Get this…. Susan is

laughing. If the squirrels would stay on the ground I’d have a chance but the devious little creatures leap up trees. Now, I don’t think this is fair game because they leave me at the bottom. I’ve tried but I can’t get the hang of climbing a tree and Susan’s no help, at least she could show me how to climb a tree. Psst! I’m having a chuckle, can you imagine Susan climbing a tree. Perhaps not! All I can do is watch and learn as the squirrels play and perhaps one day they will let me play. Oh, here come the evil eye, we have a few writing things to say today.

Prelude to Sophie War is back at the editor, Susan made some big changes to the beginning, the good news is she has a mock up for the cover, early stages so wait for more news. Bye for now!

Tugging the Towel

Tugging the towel, Susan’s towel to be precise, Miss Penny speaking.We play tug of war, um… that must be a Susan expression because there’s no war here,

but I do like tugging at things. Susan teases me with Pink Baby, she pretends to pull it away from me, I tug and growl, not much, just a little grr noise, because growling and barking scares me. Um… perhaps that’s the war part. Anyway, to continue, the other thing I like tugging is Susan’s towel. When she gets out of the shower she wraps a towel around her, not one of those flimsy tied at the waist men’s towels that ladies seem to get all hot and bothered over (I’ll never understand humans) but a big towel that covers all of her. Psst! It has to be pretty big, to wrap around Susan, if you know what I’m mean. Oops, the evil eye. What? I’m just saying. Back to the tug of war. I shake the corner of the towel, pull at it and tug at it, it makes Susan laugh, so I tug some more but at 3.7 kg I’m no match

I thought this might make up for the big towel comment.

for Susan’s strength. I wait until she’s not paying attention and one big tug and the towel is mine. I give it a good shake. She looks a bit cold, she only has fur on her head, not all over like me, although I have to tell you when I get bathed wet fur is very cold. A good job I don’t have to shower every day. Now I wait for her to pick the towel up so I can tug again but she throws in the towel and gets dressed. Hee-hee, do you get the joke? I’m getting the evil eye for a second time. We have been busy this week, not writing, Susan waits until the latest books done and ready to publish before she starts the next one. Amazon advertising, has taken up a lot of time and a couple of Facebook ads too to get the new version of The Blue Pendant Click here, selling again. Then we worked on the covers for the Sophie

Series, Susan even did some photoshop stuff. I have to tell you the boss’s new idea for Prelude to Sophie’s War is spectacular. The cover reveal will come next week and, she’s found a public domain photo site that has WW1 nurse photos so Heart of Sophie’s War will be next. All for now folks; until next week. Stay safe, this Covid thing is coming to an end. That’s a Miss Penny prediction.

Then a miracle happened Susan picked me up and put me on the bed. Psst! She didn’t know what I had in my mouth.

Gees, she took her time with that one. That’s all folks, the moral of this story is don’t eat dog biscuits in bed.
