Bugs and Whales

My father and sister suffer from hay fever. I’ve always thought I escaped this curse, but I’ve noticed during recent years that when I go outside, I get a runny nose. Mostly it’s not a problem, but it means when I’m riding my bike I sometimes have to breath through my mouth. Why is it that the minute I open my mouth all these kamikazi bugs fly right in? I swallowed two bugs today before I knew what hit me. Ack!! Does anyone else have this problem?

I have a new release out this week called Currents Run Deep. This is another shifter book, but instead of my normal felines I’ve ventured into orca whales. The story has a sort of Romeo and Juliet theme to it, or at least my take on two enemies getting together. Reader Fran Lee made a book trailer for my upcoming release. Thanks so much, Fran!

When hubby and I visited Vancouver Island last year we did a whale watching trip with Five Star Whale Watching. They have a blog where they post daily photos of their trips. The photos are of whales and also birds, seals and other scenery. I always enjoy my glimpse of nature. They mentioned a documentary on whales, which sounds really interesting. Here’s the trailer for it.

    I’ve had bug problems at various times. That feeling of swallowing a gnat – gesh!

    Nice trailer.

    Thanks, JK!

    Hi Roberta – I hope you have a great day, too. Hopefully, there won’t be any bugs on the menu today!

    Alice – I’m glad I’m not alone.

    Eek, Shelley! I’m not sure I’ve swallowed a bug before, but I’m sure I wouldn’t enjoy it… although it’s supposedly extra protein, right?

    How cool–orca shifters! I’ll be looking forward to this!

    I’m quite certain I’ve swallowed a few bugs in my time – LOL! And congrats on the new release. You really are on fire.

    Hi Shelley!
    Didn’t you just love
    Vancouver Island? My cousin is a teacher in a small town there, and it is SO beautiful. If I didn’t love it so much here on the East coast of Canada, I would definitely move to British Columbia-and go whale watching everyday!
