This isn't funny, but you have to laugh

I'm flying out tomorrow to Nicaragua for a last minute work trip, while keeping a wary eye on Hanna off our coast. Praying for people in Louisiana that Gustav doesn't wallop them, and that everyone stays safe.

Hoping I can return to the New Orleans I love, and things will be the same.

Anyway, the laugh comes from this... the sheer unpredictability of storms during this time of year. I'm wary of Hanna but I just saw the projected pathway.

Here's my schedule: Fly to Nicaragua tomorrow, fly home late Friday, have one day at home with DH, and then on Sunday, flying up to...

Where it looks like Hanna may end up. HA!

Maybe Hanna is giving me the gimlet eye. "Bonnie, you can fly all over the damn place, but I will find you!"

I'm leaving a week from today to have a mini writing retreat alone, so I can write the book due in October. Hurricanes and all, I still have a deadline.

Maybe I should retitle the book from DEADLY TOUCH to Ha Ha Hanna. LOL.

Stay safe everyone on the gulf coast, Louisiana and my beloved New Orleans. I'll keep you in my prayers. I"m going offline and not blogging for a while.

Until later, here's to TOURIST SEASON instead of HURRICANE SEASON!

Enemy Lover

My next werewolf Nocturne, Enemy Lover, is now available for pre-order on Amazon!

Enemy Lover is Damian's story from The Empath. He hunts down his draicara, his destined mate, in New Orleans and finds out she's been infected with the stone spell and is slowly turning to stone. She hates and fears him, thinking he murdered her brother, but must team up with him to find a missing book of magick that contains a cure to save her. Otherwise, she'll be trapped forever inside stone, her spirit alive but imprisoned for eternity. In the meantime, they are being chased by evil Morphs who want the book for themselves, and will use the dark magick spells in the book to eliminate the Draicon for good.

I had fun writing this one because we went to New Orleans to research it. Rode the streetcar to City Park, stayed at a quaint hotel in the French Quarter, hung out at Jackson Square listening to the street musicians. We also took a tour of the hurricane damage and saw the struggles the city's residents are still enduring.

And on that note, it's hurricane season next week, but already Tropical Storm Alma, a Pacific-originating storm, has hit Nicaragua. I'm ready for hurricane season like a delinquent Girl Scout. Canned goods? Expired. Bottled water? Nope. Gas for the generator?

hahahahahahahahaha!!!

Someone tell the National Weather Service we here in Florida can't AFFORD hurricanes this year.
