Deadlines, Deadlines

So, I'm on deadline with the new book--The Eternal Return. In case you don't know what a writer on deadline is like, well, there's this:

And my moods are varying from this:

 

To this: 

And right now, if I let myself, I'd be scarfing down all the gluten free cookies I could eat. But I'm maintaining a modicum of control, thank gods, and mostly just relying on Netflix and reruns of Downton Abby to get me through on my breaks from writing.

I wouldn't BE on deadline if I hadn't tried to tuck writing an extra book in between two books. (Demon's Delight, which I wanted to bring out this month but which is now coming out in February). I managed to get about 2/3 of it written, then realized I wasn't going to have enough time to write The Eternal Return on schedule, so had to stop and move over to TER. 

The good news is I'm almost done with TER, and then I start the third Whisper Hollow book. It will be wonderful, returning to that world, which I haven't been able to visit since 2015, because the stories still haunt me, and the characters still call.

Anyway, that's enough for today. OH, I'm also decorating early. (If you are one of those peeps who gets irate when people do that, get over it. I'm not decorating YOUR house, early, and I need the sparkles.). ;) 

Now, back to the words, because I really need to get this book done by tomorrow. And I'll do it!

All Aboard For the Wild Hunt

So our beginning posts are going to be introductions and a bit of chit-chat so you get to know us a little better. So...here's me, in a (non) nutshell! I've got  along bio, so pull up a chair and I'll try to keep from being boring. ;)

I’m New York Times, USA TODAY, and Publishers Weekly bestselling author Yasmine Galenorn.  In April 2012, I won a Career Achievement Award in Urban Fantasy at the Romantic Times Convention.

I have over 65 books on the shelves, and I write urban fantasy and paranormal romance, including the Wild Hunt Series, the Fury Unbound Series, the Indigo Court Series, the Otherworld Series, the Bewitching Bedlam Series, and a number of others, as well as metaphysical nonfiction books. AND...I just got my rights back to my Whisper Hollow Series, which I'll be starting up again!

I wrote for traditional publishers for twenty years, from 1996 until 2016, and now I have moved into being an indie author to give myself more freedom. I'm loving the new ride. It suits me well and I find so much more freedom this way.

And yes, I’m a shamanic witch and am considered an elder in the Pagan community, having been in the Craft since February 29th (yes, leap year day), 1980.  I walk an eclectic path and consider my life to be a blend of teacups and tattoos–the former in my china closet, the latter on my skin–I’m a heavily inked pagan priestess.
