The Twelve Ideas of Christmas #5

The Moonrise Trilogy

From Novel #1 Synopsis:

No one in the outside world knows that the residents of Frenchman’s Pass, a remote Colorado mountain town, are Ahnclann, immortal wolf-like beasts who take human form in daylight. Town sheriff Ethan Jemmet wants to keep it that way, too. Although a quirk of genetics has kept Ethan forever locked in a human body, he knows only too well the dangers of exposing the town’s secrets. In human form the Ahnclann are almost as vulnerable as any mortal, but as beasts they are unparalleled hunter-killers.

The only human Ethan trusts is his lover, Valori Trovatella, whose erotic effect on him is as strong as her unwavering loyalty and affection. Ethan wants Lori as his mate, but she’s still a stranger to his people, who distrust her. Colleen Clayton, an Ahnclann female who has always wanted Ethan, stirs up trouble by claiming that Lori is only interested in selling out the pack to the human world. Ethan’s unruly twin brother Nathan only makes matters worse when he proposes they try to change her into Ahnclann.

The Moonrise paranormal romance trilogy was another pitch of mine that NY passed on. It spins off the story from Frostfire and features the secondary characters of Ethan and Nathan Jemmet, Valori Trovatella and the residents of Frenchman's Pass. It's also a kinda-sorta menage romance. I outlined three full-length novels but never got a chance to write them. I'd probably write all three because, well, trilogy. :)

The Moonrise Trilogy is Idea #5.

Other Stashes

Along with clearing out the spare bedroom and tidying my office and our guest bedroom, I decided to reorganize some of my stashes. This is all the yarn I have on hand, sorted by color. It looks like a lot, but lately I've been using up a minimum of half a bin every month, so this is approximately a year's supply. All of my solid color cotton perle thread. I go through a lot of this every year, too. I need a container in which I can fit all of it together, but I haven't found the right one yet. I won't show you all of my fabric -- I'm still reorganizing this stash -- but I went through everything and donated two bins of fabric I won't need to the local quilter's guild.

Goodwill Gamble #2 Arrives

My second Goodwill gamble arrived; this is one I paid ten bucks for last month. Just inside the lid was a big roll of plastic mesh that I think is for latchhook work. In the auction listing it looked like fabric to me, so that was unexpected. Someone at the seller's end was nice enough to put a note on this pinned fabric. I'll put on my gloves before I take it out to inspect it. The embroidered green fabric turned out to be 1-1/2 yards of sequinned and three-dimensional designer fabric. I'll guess this cost somewhere between $20.00 to $30.00 a yard, and it's in pristine condition. But here's a shot of everything in the lot, which is mostly crafty odds and ends with a small amount of cotton fabrics, a large amount of synethetic fabrics, and some other surprises. The original owner of these was probably a Catholic school teacher; these beads, crosses and medallions are the kind of rosary kits for kids to make at Sunday school or Bible camp (and s...

Love Means This

Invested in a couple of hand-dyed bundles from one of my favorite fabric artists. This one said "Make me into something for Valentine's Day." So I went for a quilted and embellished tote. I kept thinking about what love means to me as I worked on it. Here's the finished tote. Although I was tempted to embellish with beads and pins, I got sick and only felt well enough to do a little stitching every night. As I worked I thought about how often love seems disappointing to us, especially when it fails to live up to our expectations. But now that I've experienced love in many forms, I can say that it's made me a better person than I might have been without it. Love is a precious thing, and should be appreciated in all its forms. I am very grateful for the love of my guy, my child and my friends who have stuck with me all these years. That's you two, in case you're wondering. :) Also finally found something to do with a ve...
