Chloe, Cara's real-life whippet in Trinity Stones
I'd like to introduce my whippet, Chloe. She plays a character in my upcoming series, The Angelorum Twelve Chronicles . Being French, she's quite dramatic and has always wanted to see her name in lights. She's hoping for movie rights. I'm working on resetting her expectations.
The reason for today's whippet post, in addition to her being cute and my inspiration for Cara's canine companion, is the fact that my home is currently being overrun by a total of FOUR whippets. Two of which are my own children, and the other two are foster children. As you can imagine, this is creating havoc with my writing schedule, not to mention the inability to get a good night's sleep. Over the weekend, my husband slept between the couch and a blow-up mattress downstairs with our foster whippets to prevent a chorus of yowling the likes you'd never heard. Me? I lay sandwiched between our dogs on a 10-inch sliver of King-sized mattress.
The worst part: my inspiration muse has left the building to get away from all the dogs, leaving me with mental constipation. A simple scene has been taking me days to complete.
*Pasting on a smile now *
Happily, the dog sitter has them all for the next two nights. I can get back to work, and my husband can have a few quality REM cycles.
In the meantime, here is a picture of Chloe in character as a Sentinel of the Angelorum.
