| Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho |
Only 2 1/2 weeks away from the Last Move!
Right now DH and I are on Maui, having a fabulous vacation on the in-laws. (Thanks, love you guys!) When we get home, it's pack up the last of our things, and hit the road.
So, pretty much I'm posting this picture
because ...
I didn't have any pictures of those cute shamrocks, and it makes me feel pretty darn lucky just looking at this!
The DH and I get to move back to North Idaho in May. Wahoo!
If you've never been to Coeur d'Alene, it's one of the cutest little resort towns on the lake you'll ever visit. We were lucky enough to live there several years ago, but my husband's job moved us to Portland area.
That turned out to be great. I would never want to miss living that near the ocean, and so many art museums, galleries, theaters, etc. And did I mention the shopping? Hello, Nordstroms!
But after a short detour to my home state of Montana, which didn't work out for family reasons, we're headed back to our favorite place to Stay. Put. For. Good.
So, y'know, look for me in the area. If you drive through on the interstate or stop down by the lake, wave! I'll be the one in the boat, short blonde hair flying in the breeze, big smile on my face.
And I like to think this move is lucky for readers too, as I'll be continuing to write full time.
Book 1 of The LodeStar Series (erotic sci fi romance) is set to debut soon,
I'm writing Book 2 of a light BDsm series for Samhain,
and I'm planning a fun, hot (did I mention FUN?) series set in Coeur d'Alene.

Lake Coeur d'Alene is definitely one of those magnificent places in the lower 48. I remember going to an educational conference there back in 2001 or 2002 in July. It was absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you have found your stay-put-for-good place. It is always grounding to know you have found a home. I'll definitely put you on my list of beg-to-visit you the summer list. :)
Maggie,
DeleteNo worries, you and DH are on the 'please come and visit' list!
And I'm hoping readers will visit in the new series.

We still miss you in Portland, but I'm so happy you have found your "stay put" happy place. :)
ReplyDeleteLinda,
DeleteWe have indeed. I miss you too, but luckily we're close in 'cyber-space', yes?

How wonderful that you'll be in such a beautiful setting and writing full-time. ::sighs wistfully:: Now that IS lucky!
ReplyDeleteJ. Rose,
DeleteI am lucky to do both, and I know it. Can't wait to fledge my wings and self-publish a whole bunch of stories that are burning in my imagination!

I...have...to...be...near...water. Tried to dive into your picture. You are the lucky one! M. S.
ReplyDeleteM.S.,
DeleteWe seriously need lakes nearby, too. A boat has been our family RV since our boys were small, and we've never regretted that. Still running that same SeaSwirl, in mint condition.

Good luck on your move! I hope it goes well. I hate moving, but at least it's back to your favorite place. :)

WOW, your picture is lovely...and what a view to look at while writing. I'm envious;) I visited mid-state Idaho and loved it. I live in Michigan and love that state most...I mean, there's water everywhere around us:)
ReplyDeleteYour books sound sexy and fun...thanks for sharing Cathryn:) happy hopping!
Kay Dee,
DeleteLove Michigan! So gorgeous ... but wouldn't want your winters. You're tough, you Michiganders.
thanks for stopping,
Cathryn
I am glad you are settling in a place you love... Hubby and I wanted to settle in SC down by Hilton Head/Savannah area but We ended up in Fayetteville, NC which is treating us pretty good... One day we hope to settle in the low country.

Elise,
Deletethis view is actually from the deck of our friends' cabin, where we spend lots of time. We'll be living in the lovely little town just moments away tho. Yay!

That picture is beautiful, peaceful - very nice! Good luck on the move.
ReplyDeleteAnne,
Deletethanks! On a move, need all the good luck wishes we can get.

I need a hammock on that porch, and when I'm done reading I want to jump in that beautiful lake!
ReplyDeleteDanita,
DeleteI have written parts of three books on that deck! Just got to hand my friends the print copy of Walking in Fire, the first book I wrote (partly) there. Very fun.
Wish you could hang your hammock there. We'd read and then jump in. Coeur d'Alene Lake is really nice to jump into ... July, August and September are primo. Other than that it's a bit chilly.
best,
Cathryn
This sounds lovely, Cathryn! The move sounds like a good one for you!!
ReplyDeleteFedora,
DeleteThanks so much! It will be a good move and I'll be able to get lots and lots of writing done--Woohooo!

That is an awesome view, as a reader I would love to sit out in the patio area and just read, read, read!

Howdy! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
ReplyDeleteI'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had problems
with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
