Woohoo! I just finished the revisions on the NC paranormal romance, Putting Down Roots. It now joins Heaven Coming Down and Hell to Pay in the complete trilogy.
It's exciting to finally be down a project that's taken ten years from the original sentence in the first book to the final sentence in the third. I had no idea I was starting a trilogy when the idea came to me. And all because a cocky man I knew at the time said that he could solve all of the world's problems if he had the same time and resources as God.
I need a name for the trilogy. The first is a quest to save the world, features gods and demons. The second is a challenge to save one man’s soul from the demon’s daughter and the third is about nymphs and humans curing cancer while falling in love. The central theme in all three books is man's interference with nature. All the characters from the first two appear in the final showdown with the evil nymph at the end of the third book.
Do you have any ideas on what I can call the trilogy?
PS - I am doubly proud of myself for finishing it while still suffering from vertigo. If something means enough to you, you will find a way

Still spinning
Being dizzy 75% of the day makes one cranky. That's my experience, at least. I miss reading and writing. I've jotted things in my notebook when the world isn't going by quite so quickly but the days of spending hours at my desk seem but a distant memory. Steps are being taken to resolve this.
In the meantime, I've learned the following:
Sitting on the ground is a good position for not only weeding but throwing a ball. Be sure to sit on the grass so that when you fall over, it's a cushy landing.
The reason the wild petunia isn't doing so well is the neighbour's volunteer black walnut. If you lie on your back and stare up between the leaves, the sky looks like it's been serrated. Also, that tree grew very tall very fast.
Mulberries hold fast to the tree branches during a wind storm but leap from their stems if you're trying to pick them. Also, a robin can ride out the wind if the berries are plentiful.
Cats like to sleep in the window. They also like to chirp at the foraging squirrel. A closed window is best at these times.
Every manner of vegetation will grow in the cracks of the sidewalk.
If you lie on the floor, the birds will fly from their cage to walk all over you. The cat stands back as beaks are sharp. Also, freckles look a lot like seeds. Beaks are very sharp when the freckle holds fast to the skin. Beak wounds heal quickly with the aid of coconut oil.
Closing your eyes to slow the spinning of the earth occasionally results in naps.
Reading a printed page is much easier on the senses than a screen. No new book scent on the screen.
All of the above can be used as research in one capacity or another. It's all fodder. Fodder!
Stay balanced, my friends
