I have been using a rubber heart and world to exercise my fingers. It was helpful, but getting them on the keyboard is necessary.
Since I needed to practice typing, what better way than to write a book? I have written chapter one of Ruby & Nolan’s Great Adventures in Space Book 9. If you have read Book 8, this book will continue from the adventure of sneaking out right under the noses of the parents to explore the continent across the ocean that the parents forbade. This book introduces a race of people and Fairies.
The main character’s name is Irus. I liked her “no-nonsense ” attitude and bravado. She actually faced Donzereli with her bow, demanding, “Who are you? And what are you doing in our land?”
She was horrified that there were more creatures like him close by. Donzereli was not worried about her arrow pointing at his chest as he was sure it could not penetrate his skin. As usual, he made friends with her and invited her and her Panther Clan for S’mores. The tasty, gooey treats sealed the friendship.
That was a good thing because Irus and her Bison saddle saved the boys when their flying car nearly sank when a Rockasaurus tentacle grabbed Dr. Allen’s arm and was dragging him overboard. Donzereli and Irus came to the rescue.
Book 10 starts with a bang! The long-dormant volcano on the island that the boys wanted to explore decided to blow its top! That would be fun to watch from a distance, except that Donzereli, Ty, and Robin are trying to save some elderly Faries trapped in their dwelling in the Volcano.
No one can reach them telepathically, and they can’t get close enough to attempt a rescue.
Are you wondering what will happen to them? I can’t tell you, because I haven’t written it yet! I also haven’t named the book. Maybe latter I will get brave and post Chapter 1.
It has taken me much longer than usual to write one chapter. I committed the sin of not adding new characters to my Character sheet like I usually do for any series I am creating. I had to re-read several chapters of a couple of books to add them.
Will write again tomorrow about my Therapy Session with Preston.
See you later, and have a good day….

Biography
Creating worlds, characters, and wielding power like a madwoman, making my characters happy, sad, angry, and some of them with no redeeming qualities. I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I sometimes laugh out loud when I am writing a scene, and I have been known to cry when one of my favorites has to die.
I am a left-handed Gemini, what do you expect?
Reading bedtime stories to my two children until they fell asleep or until they just told me to go away, was fun. Making up wild stories for my grandchild, and creating Halloween costumes from Cowboys to a Dragon, was another favorite thing to do. I missed that so much when they were grown, that I started writing.
My yearly newsletters frequently were drafted third-person by my Love Birds, Miranda our motorhome, and by Sir Fit the White Knight, our faithful Honda.
Throughout the years, some of my creative talents centered around writing letters of complaint expressing my displeasure with services or products. One crucial, at least to my Son, was a note to our local school bus driver petitioning her to allow him back on the bus. He was kicked off for making an obscene gesture at his buddy. I reminded her that it was not directed at her, and that “obscenity can be in the eye of the beholder,” kids use that gesture as a greeting. He rode the bus until he graduated.
I loved driving my English teacher crazy. Leaving a “continued next week” at the end of my five handwritten pages required each week. He was one of many people that suggested I “do something about my writing.”
I graduated from the School of Hard Knocks at the top of my class.
After 30 years, in the trenches as a Real Estate Professional, I have found that truth is stranger than fiction. My books are filled with characters I met in that profession. Their names were changed to protect the guilty. Others were from people we met traveling around the country in Miranda, our Motorhome.
I am married nearly 60 years to the love of my life, Shirl, and partner-produced two exceptionally talented children, and one grandchild who is our pride and joy.
