a time between time ~

[ Midnight.  That wan slice of time between time...  

No longer night.  Not quite morning.  Midnight ~ ]

Last night was the calm before the storm.  I stood in my driveway, closed my eyes and took in the quiet.  The lake was still... too still.  The air was warm for January; perhaps too warm.  A mist fell; a fog gathered.  It was the calm before the storm.

Said storm arrived about 8 o'clock tonight.  When I say my little house shook, I kid you not.  My bedroom window literally blew open.  I had to make sure all three screen doors were latched, because--- well, as you might imagine, the outer doors were in danger.

I loved it.  I love storms.  It was only a matter of time before I wanted to get out into it...  and get out into it, I did.  But not for long.  That crazy wind drove me right back inside!

But first.........  I debuted a few things.  The new hair.  In honor of the new heroine I'm writing, the bangs are back.  Oh, and that's my favorite new hair feather.  Isn't it so old-school burlesque? *wink*

Fresh new batch of my beloved current release, Strange Love.  I'll be posting a synopsis and an excerpt or two in the coming days, but for now, feast your eyes on the display.:)  Which includes my brand new hand-beaded book marks!  I designed them myself, and yep, those beads are what I jetted to the craft store for, last night.  I'm really excited to say the bookmarks also feature character bios, on the back.:)

The storm continues to rage outside.  Wind and rain and waves and just... crazy weather.  But at this moment... in this small slice of time between time, there's no storm at all.

At this moment, it's just you and I ~  ♥ #ParaGoddess
