The incredible Dan Hallock came over and we tweaked code while my husband watched his kids, and I am very pleased.

Oh, how I wish I understood web design and Wordpress tweaks and how to get that damned flower off my webpage!  I was “test driving” themes and somehow lost the one Ce made for me and ended up all “cutesy.”  Ewwwwww.  Darragha does not do cute!

A redesign is in progress! A second pen name, a new conjoined site and all the goodness (cough, choke) that is Darragha! Soon…

Playing with colors right now…

First time I’ve used stock photo from that male model who does all those romance covers. I like it! Darr

“You know why, Mother. Father has rather unique manners that have to grow on a person. You can’t just introduce him to a friend without preparation.”
“Your father is a passion shifter demon hybrid, right?” Eve asked.
“Yes,” Blu replied.
“I’ve met passion demons before, Blu.”
“Eve, my father is different. Somewhere his bloodline is tainted,” Blu said.
“Oh, Blu, that’s a terrible thing to say,” Mother Morgan scolded.
Blu continued, ignoring his mother. “My father is a distant relative of Cerberus. When he first meets someone, he gets kind of doggy on them.”
Eve laughed. “Are you saying your father sniffs butts to say hello?”

We made some life-changing decisions in August and many hurdles have been met and conquered. Writing had to take a back-burner as every minute of every day was spent “in the real world.”

However, today I’d like to state that: I am back.

Planet Darragha is re-open for business. Enjoy the ride.

We’re selling our house and have already rented a 1940’s farmhouse on 6 acres outside the city limits. I am going to have chickens and goats. I have been busier than sin (and sin is pretty darn busy, yes?), and am behind on writing, readings, laundry and we’re down to a half-jar of peanut butter and some lentils on the shelf.

I need to go buy laundry soap today or the detritus of the laundry room is going to find the jar of peanut butter and leave us with nothing! Perhaps when I buy that laundry soap, I’ll buy groceries, too! Wow! What a concept. I can’t just wish bananas and coffee into my cupboards. I have to make time to shop. I know…I’ll buy the laundry soap, toss it at the house like I’m doing a drive-by and then go shopping while my husband does laundry. “It’s a drive-by washing!”

My “real life” has collided with my “writing life.” I’m hoping the merging of these two heated masses will create massive energy, ’cause I’m going to need it!

For those of you who know her and love her, and have an extra buck to throw at our cause to buy a $400.00 horse trailer, please consider this donation button:  Annalisa’s first vehicle fund.

Thank you.

Darragha, the economically challenged, yet hopeful author.

But take heart, friends, I’m giving away SEVEN books on July 24th! Please visit the Silver Expressions blog and post sometime after midnight (Pacific Time) on July 24th!

Why seven books on 7/24? July 24th is my “best day!” I love it. I’ve blogged about it before (July 24, 2008, July 24, 2007), but now I have even more reason to love it!

Thanks,

Darragha
