New Ellora's Cave contract

2010-07-23T13:03:00.003-04:00

I just got a new Ellora’s Cave contract for Made to Order. It’s the sequel to Made for Me. Due to personal reasons, this is my first new contract in awhile and I’m really excited. Hopefully, this is the first of many.

Made to Order is a futuristic, erotic romance. For those of you that read, Made for Me, this is Holt and Rebecca’s story.

Blurb:
Holt and Rebecca are sent undercover to a sex therapy club. To prepare for the assignment they become intimate or at least that the excuse they use for doing what they both want. Holt believes that Rebecca is just pretending to be submissive and Rebecca believes she’s just another in a long line for Holt. Working through their “Sexual Problem” they both find what they are looking for but neither is brave enough to admit it. It takes a helping hand from Cupid (Mav, their boss) to open Holt’s eyes to the truth. From there he is more than capable of proving that he is man enough to enjoy her persona at work as long as she’s woman enough to submit to his Cragon side in the bedroom.

If you want to check out, Made for Me, the first book in the series, here's the link.

Never Tease a Wolf

2010-05-28T19:35:00.002-04:00

A harem outfit and a flogger? Sounds like a party. That’s why Jenny chose them as the key ingredients in her plan of seduction. For two years she has worked for Damianos Alexander, but tonight at the costume party she’s determined to become more than his secretary. Tonight, she’ll take that sexy male animal home—to her bed.

Damianos always gets what he wants, and he wants Jenny. She’s half naked, her body undulating in the movements of an ancient dance. Tempting every man in the room, including him. Too bad she doesn’t realize she’s tempting a wolf. Once she unleashes his feral side, there is no turning back.

Nothing like holding it in your hand.

2009-09-18T09:57:00.001-04:00

Yesterday, I receive my copies of Under a Feral Moon, my newest print release. Most of my books are in ebook form and I read mostly ebooks but there is something about holding your own book in your hands. Especially, when it has a beautiful cover.

I didn't take it to bed with me but...almost.

I think being able to touch it makes it all the more real. What do you think?

Have a glorious weekend.

Today is the eighth anniversary and every year I remember what I was doing when I heard. At the time, I worked in a small office and we were all gathered in the lunch room watching what we thought was a tragic accident when we saw the second plane hit. I remember looking at a co-worker as realization that it was no accident dawned upon us.

Most people would tell you that my memory isn’t very good but my memories of that day are still very clear. The shock and horror at what will be remembered as one of the worst days in US history is still there. It is something I will never forget. It is something none of us should ever forget.

Under a Feral Moon -In Print

2009-08-28T10:37:00.002-04:00

Feral Domination

Gionne is alpha male of the Valde wolf pack. He wants Jenna, a feline shapeshifter, as his mate but the fates are manipulated to separate them before the two breeds can join.

Two years later, the felines need a favor and Gionne will help for a price — Jenna. Gionne holds Jenna as collateral for the debt. Holding an unmated female that comes into heat within the pack proves dangerous. He takes her innocence, claiming her as his mate to protect her.

Jenna gave her heart to Gionne only to have it broken. Now she must accept Gionne's terms in order to save her pack. Seeing the wolf stirs all the old feelings but Jenna refuses to submit to the alpha until he uses dominant persuasion. Just as Jenna begins to accept her feral mate, a pack member plots to get rid of her.

A malevolent force that doesn't want to see a merger between the two feral breeds works to separate them. Gionne introduces Jenna to the pleasures of a ménage in order to ensure her safety. Even with the help of another male, it proves difficult to keep Jenna safe from unreasonable prejudice.

Feral Lust

Leon's life is good. He's alpha male of his feline pack and females are plentiful. Then he meets Riza. The lupine female fascinates him. For once, he's found a female who holds his interest above all others.

Riza is in heat and Leon is the focus of her lust. She can't resist him and surrenders her heart, but not her secret, to the dominant feline.

Leon believes he betrayed Riza. Riza knows he would have. Can she trust him enough to offer her submission before the entire pack? Only by sharing Riza with two other males can Leon prove his love and commitment to his mate and her pack.

Feral Intensity

Dirk Valde's life is in crisis. As guard of the Valde wolf pack, he has a plan for his life until a chance meeting changes everything. Discovery of one's lifemate is usually a joyous occasion, unless that lifemate makes you accept a long-denied truth. Dirk must come to terms with the realization that his lifemate is not only of the coyote pack but is also a male.

Rian's touch ignites passion within Dirk and he can no longer deny his feelings. He's willing to accept a relationship with the alpha male on the condition that they are equals in the bedroom.

Rian's former pack cannot accept that he is homosexual and he's certain the Valde wolf pack will feel the same way when they discover Dirk's secret. Dirk must survive a shattering misunderstanding and a vicious attack before he can find true acceptance within his heart and his pack.

Summer Reading for Schools

2009-08-14T09:11:00.005-04:00

School started here yesterday and my daughter had her first test on one of the books assigned for summer reading. I won't mention the titles but I will say the books were extremely boring and one of them was almost impossible to follow. My daughter read them because I made her but many of her friends didn't read their books. I'm wondering why can't they assign books that a teen might actually enjoy reading. Forcing students to read books that hold no appeal certainly won't teach them a love of books.

I was never assigned summer reading as a child but I read for the love of it. Very few, if any of my daughter's friends read for fun. If schools made better selections on assigned reading, I wondering would that change?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Reading at the Beach

2009-07-03T09:56:00.000-04:00

Over the last couple of years I have cut way back on my paperback book purchases in favor of ebooks. But in preparation for my trip to the beach I purchased a few paperbacks. Let's face it, taking a laptop or ebook reader down to the beach near water and sand isn't practical. So, on my first day I happily read for an hour or so before taking a break. I left my book in my chair but when I returned an hour or so later I found my daughter had thrown it off the chair and the surf had come in far enough to lap at the pages. One book down!

The next day, I decided to try again but warned my daughter not to touch my book. I almost took the book with me as I returned to the beach house but my chair was a safe distance from the water and I only planned a short break. Upon returning to my chair, I discovered my book missing. Now, I've lost my second book and I'm not very happy.

Of course, I would have been more upset if my ebook reader got wet or was stolen but still it seems that reading on the beach doesn't work for me.

Instead, I managed to read a few ebooks from the comfort and safety of the deck. Thank goodness for the convenience of downloading ebooks.

Have a good one,

Made for Me by LA Day
Unedited Excerpt:
Releasing May 29th from Ellora’s Cave.
http://www.jasminejade.com/ps-7261-50-made-for-me.aspx

“Mav, I found your way in,” Rebecca said with just a little too much glee for his comfort.
First Commander Maverick Spencer rolled his chair across the tiled floor. His gaze zeroed in on Rebecca’s vid screed as it flashed an advertisement for a robotic sex site. “No thanks, Rebecca. I don’t need to buy sex. But there might be something there for you.”
“Nope. But that Marston babe you downloaded into your cyber sex unit just placed an order.”
“For what?” His gaze snapped back to the vid screen. “And I downloaded her file for research. She’s a target in our investigation.”
“Yep but you added her picture to your cyber sex unit. You can’t hide anything from a techno wiz.” Merriment gleamed in Rebecca’s eyes. “Anyway, she ordered a pleasure droid—a hi-tech robotic sex machine—and wait until you hear the description. She might have been describing you. Well, that is, if you have at least ten inches in those pants.” Rebecca raised her brows in a suggestive manner.
“I think I can cover that,” Mav grumbled, his eyes scanning the banner ad.
“Excuse me.” Rebecca waved her hand in his direction. “I need to open this drawer.” Mav rolled backward to allow her to rummage through his stash of odds and ends.
“What are you looking for?”
“A tape measure. I had better verify the length. We wouldn’t want to disappoint her.”
“If you think I’m whipping it out for you—think again. I never disappoint.” He scooted closer, reading the digital data. “I’m still not sure how this pleasure droid info is going to help us.”

Oaks Day

2009-05-01T09:57:00.000-04:00

Hey,

It's Oaks Day here in Kentucky. That is the day before the Derby. I don't know how many of you are horse racing fans but it's a great time of year here. Last weekend we had Thunder Over Louisville, which is an airshow and fireworks...awesome to see. During the week there are balloon races, steamboat races, parades and so forth. If you ever want to visit Louisville this is the time of year to do it.

Unfortunately, we've been having a bit of rain but the show goes on regardless. I'm not going to the track this year but I will attend a party and put a few dollars on the horses. Wish me luck.

WTF??

2009-04-24T08:44:00.000-04:00

Lately, life has seems full of disappointments. We went to my favorite Chinese restaurant the other day. I’ve been going to this place since I was a teenager…that’s a long time. I have told so many people about this place because they have the most awesome fried rice. Everyone that I referred there has agreed. They are the best…or they used to be. They changed the recipe or something because the rice was okay but nothing special. I asked a couple friends that had been there lately and they agreed. WTF! Why do you change something that is perfect?

Then, I bought a book by one of my favorite authors. I won’t say who but I love this author. Guess what the book was okay but not nearly as good as most of the books by this author. I’ll still buy the next book by this author though. We all have books that are better than others. I know I do. I was just surprised because this author had never disappointed me before.

So, I thought to cheer myself up I’d take a trip to my favorite store. It sells clothes for larger women that I like. Yeah! You guessed it. They didn’t have hardly anything I liked.

Now, I’m wondering is it me???

The one thing that hasn’t disappointed me lately though is my amazingly supportive family and friends. And, if you have that what else do you need.

Hope everyone has a great weekend with few disappointments.

Obsession

2009-03-27T09:43:00.001-04:00

Definition of obsession: An obsession is an unwelcome, uncontrollable, and persistent idea, thought, image, or emotion that a person cannot help thinking even though it creates significant distress or anxiety.

Lately, I've had alot going on in my real world and I have become obsessed with one aspect of my life. The problem is that the obsession doesn't change anything and I am accomplishing nothing.

Sitting here, I am thinking back over the last month or so and I realize I have been spinning my wheels so to speak. I've let something beyond my control take over my life. I haven't written much, chatted, updated sites, blogged or accomplished any of my usual tasks.

I've decided to do my best not to worry about what I can't control and concentrate on what I can do. Sounds easy...not!

Has anyone else become obsessed with something in their life, a story line or research?

News!

2009-03-06T09:53:00.000-05:00

Lately it seems I’ve been on an unwanted break from my writing career but I am pleased to announce I just signed a new contract. Made for Me, an erotic sci-fi story will release from Ellora’s Cave. Release date yet to be determined. The sequel, Made to Order is almost finished.

The Hunters for Hire bible will soon be available at Ellora’s Cave as a free read. If you read my book Savage or any of the other Hunters for Hire stories or if you have an interest in sci-fi you should check it out. This is a huge book we’ve put together with all worlds, species, environments and so forth that we created. It’s pretty cool and will give you some insight into the stories.

Love Scene Presentation

2009-02-20T09:44:00.000-05:00

Next Saturday I’ve been asked to give a presentation at my local RWA chapter on writing love scenes. Those of you that know me know I’m an introvert and hate public speaking but I agreed to do it anyway.

From reading blogs and assorted articles I know that writing love scenes is the worst nightmare of many writers. However, I don’t feel that way. I enjoy writing love/sex scenes. I probably enjoy writing them more than most scenes if you’ve read any of my work you probably guessed that. LOL

Now, I’m wondering what you all think. Do you enjoy writing love scenes? If not why?
Any information you can provide will help me with delivering an effective and helpful presentation.

Just a reminder, my Giveaway is still going on.
From now until February 28, 2009 buy any L.A. Day ebook from Ellora’s Cave or Cobblestone Press for a chance to win a new Sony PRS 505 ebook reader or signed copies of Warriors in Time. Complete details are on the fun/free page of my site.

Excerpt: Prey

2009-02-12T19:39:00.001-05:00

Prey by L.A. Day
Releasing February 13th from Ellora’s Cave.
Copyright 2008

Blurb:
Ex-prostitute and newbie vampire Amber isn’t thrilled to discover her future is reminiscent of her past. She thought she’d put her past behind her, but when her sire teaches her to feed her immortal needs, she once again preys on men to survive.

Marcus has lived alone for many lifetimes. He is an instructor to newly turned vampires and Amber is his latest pupil. He has had many lovers but she ignites a fire in his blood. Amber tries to resist Marcus’ allure. She’s taken enough instructions while lying down. This time, she’ll learn on her feet because submitting to this dominant male could be addictive.

Marcus is ancient, powerful, unmated—a threat to his kind. His very existence is in peril. He has one last chance. Find his mate and bind her to him.

Excerpt:
Amber shifted in her seat. “What did you see when you read my mind?”

“I saw your death.” His gaze locked onto hers.

“Oh.”

“I saw images of us.”

“U-us?” she stuttered as she remembered some of the images he might have seen.

“You fantasized about having sex with me.”

Her cheeks flushed and her stomach clenched. “I didn’t.”

He cocked a brow. “And you fantasized about me turning you over my knee.” His palm stroked the length of his thigh.

Oh my god! Did he have to pick her most wicked thoughts out of her head?

Moving quickly, he scooped her from the chair and sat down with her across his lap.

“What are you doing?”

“Fulfilling your fantasy…and mine.”

“What? Hell no.” She arched her back and kicked out, trying to break free.

“You need your arse whipped for what you did earlier and since I know you’ll enjoy it.”

“No. Don’t.” She’d fantasized about him tanning her ass but she couldn’t allow it. She couldn’t allow him to feed her secret desires.

“Too late.” His grip was much too strong. It was useless to fight as he held her easily across his lap. “Go ahead and fight. It will up the energy flow.”

“Pervert. Is this how you get your kicks?” she hissed, feeling the growing erection pressed against her hip.

He chuckled as he pinned her legs between his. Her belly lay across his thighs and he held her down with a hand to her back. His free hand slid along her bare upper thighs causing a shiver to race up her spine.

“I’m not the only one who fancies this.” Material ripped as he tore the mini-skirt out of his way. He let out a harsh breath and it fluttered across her naked cheeks.

“That was Lena’s skirt,” she admonished.

His hand cupped one cheek. “She has many more.” His fingers wrapped in the wisp of material that comprised her thong. He tugged and twisted the material, dragging it across her sensitized clit.

Her breath drew in sharply at the powerful sensation. “Don’t.” She glared over her shoulder at him.

“Fine. I will attend to other business.”

Her breath hitched in her throat at the first stinging swat to her ass. Gritting her teeth, she refused to utter a sound as he applied four more slaps to her bottom. Each slap sent a ripple of sexual energy through her body. By the fifth slap, her thighs clenched together. Amber sighed when he stopped, until he tugged on the thong again.

Out of my slump!

2009-02-06T21:43:00.000-05:00

Between my surgery, complications, hormones & power outages it seems the fates have conspired against me in recent months. However, yesterday for the first time in several months, I submitted a manuscript to Ellora’s Cave and I almost have the sequel to it completed as well.

I’ve always heard of writer’s block but this is the first time I’ve experienced it for any length of time. It’s not something I want to experience again…ever. Although, I do realize I most likely will. Hopefully, I’ll have long stretches of productivity between the slumps.

In the past, if I wasn’t in the mood to write, I’d pick up a good book and read. That usually did the trick. Didn’t work this time though but I did get to read a few good books. I won’t complain about that.

During my slump, I started and stopped several manuscripts as I attempted to find inspiration. Now, I have seven partially completed manuscripts and my slump appears to be over. Keeping my fingers crossed.

So any writer’s block stories out there? How long did it last and what did you do to get the creative juices flowing again?

Have an awesome weekend!

Ahhh!

2009-01-23T10:19:00.001-05:00

It’s a heat wave!

It’s funny how much the weather plays a role in my mood. We’ve been experiencing bitter cold, snow and cloudy skies. I’ve been depressed and unproductive. However, yesterday was beautiful and today it’s going to reach fifty-two degrees and I’ve already been out with the dogs, cleaned up the yard and been to the store. Now, I’m settling into my seat in front of the computer and I feel productive for the first time in a while.

Unfortunately, tomorrow the temperature starts to drop again but I will enjoy today. I plan to take a break this afternoon to walk the dogs again and tonight I’m going out with my DH. I think we are going to see Gran Torino with Clint Eastwood. I love Clint. He would warm me up even on the most frigid night.

So, how does the weather affect your life?

Do you crave sunny skies and warm temps like me?

Whatever the weather, enjoy your weekend.

Minus 2!

2009-01-16T11:31:00.000-05:00

It’s unbelievably cold here today. This morning it was minus 2 and we’re expecting a high of 13. WooHoo!! That is extremely cold for my neck of the woods. It’s great weather to stay inside and read a hot book though or maybe to write one too.

Currently, I’m working on the sequel to Undercover Pleasure Droid and it’s keeping me warm. I also purchased a few new books that I intend to read if I meet my writing quota for the day. Next on my list to read is Caramel Kisses by TJ Michaels. It looks yummy.

Anyone have some Hot recommendations?

Enjoy your weekend. Keep safe and warm.

Leopard shifter Jonno Campbell takes one look at Laura and desires her as his mate. He's enthralled with the fiery cop, and when she arrests him, he's ready for a strip search. Convincing Laura he's innocent and that they should work together to capture the thieves stealing from Middlemarch residents isn't easy. A kiss laced with his easy charm does the trick and sparks fly. Passion escalates into primitive hunger. A night of hot loving convinces Jonno. He wants forever with the gorgeous Laura, but her ambition, his feline heritage and a gang of thieves stand in the way of his progress. Then there's the ex-boyfriend who wants Laura back. This time charisma and erotic promises might not be enough to win the lady.

A man with everything except his heart's desire. Frederick Thorne, Duke of Ashland, has been in love with Brett Haversham for years. If the only way to have him is to give him what he wants Freddy will share him, in bed and out, with the woman Brett loves. The woman who was Freddy's first love.

A man sacrificing everything for the past. Brett Haversham is in love with two people he's sworn never to touch. But his desires prove to be stronger than his resolve when they both set out to seduce him--together. The incredible sex they share overwhelms him.

A woman with nothing left to lose. Anne Goode lost her fiance Bertie in the war. Now his younger brother Freddy is back, all grown up into the handsome and powerful duke. And he's brought Bertie's best friend Brett with him. Lonely and already
ruined, Anne can't resist taking both of them as her lovers. Is the uncontrollable desire between the three enough to heal the wounds of the past and overcome the problems of the present? They must accept love rather than retreat from it.

Here's Emma's question for everyone. If you could confirm the existence of one supernatural being which would it be?

Just one, huh?
I’d have to go with vampires. I’ve had a fantasy/love affair with vampire since I watched Dark Shadows as a young girl. I’m not talking about those gross disgusting vampires you see in some movies. I’m referring to the hot, sexy vampires. A few off the top of my head are Angel, Spike, Mick St. John, Edward & Emmett Cullen, The guys from The Lost Boys (Kiefer) & Interview with a Vampire (Brad Pitt & Tom Cruise).

Release Date: December 5, 2008

Blurb:
Loved the characters, the heat and the thought of an enthralling hero sinking his teeth into your neck in Crimson Thrall? Then get set for more passion, more intensity and a bigger bite!
Six centuries have passed since a treacherous enemy wrested Antonio’s love from his bed. He was outmatched and overpowered before, but nothing will keep him from claiming Serafina now—not even Serafina herself. Wild with hunger and a soul-deep longing, he declares a Bride Hunt, an ancient ritual most vampires abandoned centuries before.

Serafina endured a loveless marriage for the sake of her sisters. Now her husband’s death has freed her to think of her own happiness. Before she can decide how to flex her independence, she’s being hunted by a domineering, if utterly desirable, vampire bent on binding her soul to his. Antonio awakens sensations and ignites responses she never experienced with her husband, but is physical pleasure reason enough to spend eternity at his side?

2008-12-01T10:46:00.000-05:00

I survived four days with the in-laws…barely! But, I am thrilled to be home. I have so much to catch up on. Sin of the Past released while I was a way and I had just announced my Huge Holiday Giveaway so I have lots of promo to do.

Then there’s the writing, seems like I’m always behind there.

Can’t wait to get caught up and relax with a good book or two…three.

Wicked Release & Giveaway!

2008-11-28T06:58:00.006-05:00

Sin of the Past is now available for the Wicked Line at Cobblestone Press. If this Wicked piece is to your taste, don’t miss your opportunity at an entry in my giveaway. Details are on my site. Look on the Free/Fun page to see how you could win a Sony PRS 505 or a signed copy of Warriors in Time. Any purchase of an LA Day book will qualify you for an entry so if something from my backlist at Cobblestone or Ellora's Cave suits you better, go for it.

Sin of the Past by LA Day

Available at Cobblestone Press
http://www.cobblestone-press.com/catalog/books/sinofthepast.htm

Blurb:
The past has a way of catching up with you and sometimes you’re glad it does. Freshly divorced, Sara is skipping town and looking for adventure. However, she’s about to discover an erotic adventure with the one man she thought she’d lost forever.

Cein Creedon walked away from Sara when she chose another man over him. However, she’s free now and Cein has waited about as long as he can. It’s time he reminds her why he was nicknamed Walking Sin.

Excerpt:

Blood began to pump rapidly through her veins as she gazed at him. He looked like a man who would know how to please a woman. She looked at his large hands, with long, tapered fingers as he raised his fork to his mouth. His generously full lips parted, and his hand hesitated. She glanced up to meet his gaze across the room. Her breath caught in her throat. He had dark eyes, almost black, and they burned into her flesh.
An erotic film rolled through her mind. Stretched out naked on a bed, her body contorted in pleasure as a man feasted between her thighs. Her pussy spasmed in urgent release, and the man’s head rose. Those same black eyes gleamed at her from a face years younger.

Sara gasped as her panties dampened with familiar need. It couldn’t be, not after all these years. “Cein Creedon,” she whispered, her lips trembling.

Cein, better known as Walking Sin, back in town after all these years. Grabbing her purse, she threw a twenty on the table and ran from the restaurant. Sprinting to her car, she slammed the compact’s door and gunned the engine. She had to get away before she embarrassed herself beyond redemption. Small towns were known for gossip and ever since Mike left, she’d been hiding from the whispers of failure. She could only imagine the reaction if she spread herself on Cein’s table and asked for a repeat performance of the one unfinished night they’d shared. At that thought, her upper thigh muscles tightened, and her pussy gushed. Damn, she needed a man. A mindless fuck with an anonymous stranger ought to ease her lust. An annoying voice in her head doubted a stranger could ease the arousal Cein inspired all too easily.

Cein watched Sara run from the diner with an amused smile. She wouldn’t get very far. Standing, he stretched his legs. Sara had forgotten her package, but he wouldn’t mind delivering it. Peeling off a few bills, he dropped them on the table and collected Sara’s gift. He peeked under the glittery paper and raised a dark brow. A chuckle escaped his lips. It would be his pleasure to deliver the item. He knew exactly what he would do with it. Whistling, Cein headed for his bike. It was about time he taught Sara that the only place she could run was into his arms. The last time, he’d followed her wishes and left town. This time, she would bend to his will.

He hadn’t been able to help overhearing Sara and her friend’s conversation. If Sara was hungry for sex, he would be the man to feed her. He would teach her exactly what she had been missing all these years.

Warrior of the Past, reviewed by JERR

Rating: 4/5

Snippet:
“Ms. Day has written an amazing story of self discovery and love. Though this is a sequel, it works well as a standalone book. Bear Claw's transition from past to present is both hilarious and touching. He is everything a warrior should be...confident, stubborn and deadly.” Reviewed by T.S. Peters at JERR

Gift Ideas

2008-11-14T06:44:00.000-05:00

It’s that time of year again; time to start the dreaded Christmas shopping. I don’t have a lot of people on my shopping list. A few years back, all the brothers and sisters stopped buying for each other. So, that leaves me shopping for my dh, my daughter, 2 teenage nieces and my mil. Sounds easy, right? Wrong!

My daughter is easy. I take her shopping and I buy her gift cards because I know nothing I buy will please her. My nieces get gift cards too (they are teenage girls) I’m not crazy enough to try to please them.

I’m not sure what to get the dh this year. We agreed not to spend a lot but that doesn’t make it easier.

Then we get to my mother-in-law. I always get her some Hadley Pottery; it’s a local pottery that we both love. I usually get her a book too. Not one of mine! Last year, I got her a book on Steve Irwin. She loved it. Any recommendations? She likes biographies, true-life books, war books, the sort of book I don’t read. LOL! She doesn’t read romances or erotic romances.

Any great present ideas appreciated.

Presentation ideas

2008-11-07T08:54:00.000-05:00

Hello,

As some of you may know, I was elected President of my local RWA chapter for 2010. I am President-Elect for 2009. The President for 2009 wants my opinion/help for her term. We are attempting to set a schedule of workshop/presentations for the year. I am also looking for ideas for my term.

We have a small group, approximately 30 members. I have already agreed to do a presentation on writing love/sex scenes. I’m also considering a presentation on character creation…creating the alpha male.

As writers, what workshops/presentations would interest you?
What about POV’s, plots, query letters, synopsis…?

We only have 3-4 published authors that attend the meetings so I’m reluctant to offer presentations on promotion/what to do after you have a contract.

I would really appreciate your ideas/thoughts on this.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend,

Laura/LA Day

This is a never before seen peek inside the x-rated statuary.

Blurb:
Locked inside an erotic statuary their passions ignite. But are they real or a product of the situation?

Excerpt:
There was a reason why she kept her distance from this man. She had known from the moment they met that he spelled trouble for her orderly existence. That’s why she avoided him and declined his invitations. One kiss proved her fears true. He stirred emotions she’d repressed for years. Emotions she did not intend to allow to destroy the life she had cultivated.

Pressing a hand to his chest, she intended to shove him away. Beneath the silk of his shirt, he was all muscle. Her fingers curled against him and she felt the smattering of chest hair. A moan rumbled in her throat as she shifted against him, dragging the aroused tips of her breasts across his firm body. Heat unfurled low in her belly as her clit throbbed to life.

Returning his kiss as if her life depended on it, she slid her fingers between the buttons of his shirt. His skin was hot, smooth and sprinkled with hair. Moaning into his mouth, she arched her back as his hand ran the length of her spine.

His hand cupped her ass and rocked her aching pussy against his firm thigh. A surge of pure energy whipped through her center and she was lost.

Wrenching their lips apart, Jacob pressed his mouth to her ear. “Damn,” he groaned. “I knew if you ever let me close we’d go up in flames.”

“No,” Sarah croaked. She wasn’t sure what she was protesting. The fact that he’d aroused her as no man ever had or that he’d stopped.

She felt his chuckle. “It’s a little late to object.” He pulled back and ran his hungry gaze over her rumpled form. Raising a hand, his thumb brushed against one distended nipple. “This belies your weak complaint.”

She almost whimpered at his touch. “Stop it.” She tugged her suit jacket back into place.

“I did stop it. If I hadn’t, by now you’d be lying under me.”

Of course, he had to throw it in her face that he was the one to end their embrace. “That’s a bit presumptuous.” Sarah patted her hair as she tried to regain her composure.

Jacob shrugged. “Maybe you’d prefer a different position.” He waved his arm at the wall of statues. “I’m partial to this one.” Spinning her around, he cocooned her in his warm embrace in front of a particularly erotic pose. A woman was on her knees, her ass tipped up as a man penetrated her anally.

Sarah’s heart thundered and she swallowed deeply. She couldn’t stop from clenching the muscles of her ass. The muscles that were intimately pressed against the bulge of his arousal. He shifted slowly against her and she clenched her teeth to stop a cry of need. It took every ounce of will power she possessed not to thrust back against him, not to beg him to bend her over the bench and take her.

“Do you know what I like best about this statue?”

Sarah snorted as her head spun dizzily. For a moment, she thought the statues came to life. A low, panting moan of pleasure-pain filled her ears as the large man thrust deep and hard into the woman’s upturned ass. Sarah shook her head to clear her thoughts. Obviously, she had taken an excessive amount of cold medicine.

She shivered in his arms as she wiggled her ass against his aching cock. It was a test of his will not to throw her to the floor and take her. Grasping her chin, he forced her to look at him. “I love the look on her face. Look how much she’s enjoying it.” He turned her back toward the statue. “I want to see that look on your face when I fuck you long and hard.”

“It’ll never h-happen,” she stuttered in denial, but he could feel her resistance melting. Heated blood raced through his veins, he’d never wanted anyone the way he wanted her.

Warriors in Time available in Print!!

2008-10-27T12:42:00.001-04:00

OMG! My first Print book, Warriors in Time is now available. I have to go order my author copies so I can hold it in my hands! LOL

Warriors in Time is a duet containing The Last Warrior and Warrior of the Past. Check out the blurbs below.

The Last Warrior
Tara Montgomery is a witch, and an imaginary lover haunts her dreams. When she senses her dream man is in danger, she performs a spell to bring him to her. Little does she know, her dream man is a Yahi warrior from 1866.

Shot in the back, Lone Wolf envisions a beautiful spirit guide. Waking up, he finds his spirit guide is actually a white woman. From her way of dress, he surmises she is a white-eyes whore. He refuses to admit he understands and speaks the English language, but still they connect on a primal level. Lone Wolf knows of only one way to repay the white woman's kindness. Since her words say she desires him and he hungers for her, he joins her in her bed and finds the other half of his soul.

Tara is horrified to discover Lone Wolf is from the year 1866 and can understand every word she spoke, but she refuses to return him to his time, to certain death. She wants a future with the sexy warrior, but can he accept his life in 2007 and her darkest secret — that she is a witch?

Warrior of the Past
Sequel to The Last Warrior.

Holly's ex-husband is stalking her. Out of nowhere on a stormy night, help arrives in the form of a powerful, primitively beautiful Native American who tosses her ex-husband off her property. Is Bear her knight in shining armor? Or, in this case, her warrior in scanty breechclout? Can this pinup guy actually be a man she can trust?

Pulled through time, Bear joins the other Yahi warrior, Lone Wolf, who came before him — his only link to the past, his only guide to the future.

The Great Spirit has a mission for these warriors and he's not above a little matchmaking when he drops Bear in Holly's yard. Patience is bred into a Yahi warrior and Bear will need it to claim his woman…especially when she discovers his secret.

Cover for Warriors in Time

2008-10-21T10:22:00.001-04:00

This is the cover for my coming soon print book, Warriors in Time. This is a duet containing The Last Warrior and Warriors of the Past. If you haven't read the ebooks, the male characters are Native American men transported from 1866 to present day.

The cover doesn't scream, Native American romance but it is HOT. It's hard to complain about a cover with Jason Santiago, Mr. Romance 2007.

TT #56

2008-10-16T09:14:00.000-04:00

In these tough economic times, everyone is cutting back. Below is a list of 13 things that I want to have and how I’ve made changes to keep them. I might not need all of these things but I’m not giving them up yet.

1. My house. I have cut out paying additional money toward the principal balance but I have to make my regular payment.
2. Electricity. During the recent windstorm, we lived with electricity for three days and believe me it’s no fun. However, we have cut back. We regulate the thermostat and open windows when we can. We lowered the setting on the water heater. I am more conscience of turned on lights, TVs, and etc.
3. Car/Gasoline. I need my vehicle to get around but I have cut back unnecessary trips. The prices of gasoline have dropped but there is still no need to waste gas.
4. The Internet. This is a must have for me. It is how I make a living.
5. Cable Television. This is a must have for my husband and daughter. I have a few shows I like but they are on basic cable and I could easily cut back to that. They however don’t agree. I did cut out a few movie channels.
6. Books! This may seem high on the list but for me it is a necessity. I make a living by writing (although that may be in jeopardy if the economy doesn’t turn around) and I love to read. I might not buy as many books as I once did but I still buy them.
7. Food. This is certainly a necessity though I could skip a few meals. LOL We have cut back on eating out. I’ve been cooking more and we eat more leftovers than we used to. It reminds me of growing up. We rarely ate out and my mom had dishes she made from leftovers. Mashed potatoes were turned into potato cakes. Veggies and meats were used in soups and stews.
8. Shopping! I used to see something I thought was cute and buy it regardless of need. Now, I think, do I really need it?
9. Cell Phones! Truly, I can do without mine. I rarely use it but my DH and daughter use theirs all the time. My daughter has unlimited texting and that is what she uses the most. I have cut the minutes back a bit. I think I saved ten dollars a month. Yippee!
10. I make sure all my bills are paid on time so we don’t get extra charges.
11. I don’t use credit cards. If I don’t have the money, I don’t buy it. (I do use debit cards and Paypal).
12. I get money off my debit card at my bank only. I don’t want those extra bank charges.
13. I haven’t planned a big vacation for next year. I do have a couple of conferences I plan to attend and we’ll see from there. I’m sure we’ll do something but it might be something close to home.

Read Review

TT #53

2008-09-18T08:50:00.000-04:00

Today’s TT was inspired by a three-day power outage. The remnants of Ike blew through Kentucky on Sunday causing massive power outages and much damage to trees and roofs.

What did I discover during my three-day blackout? What did I miss?

1. I am addicted to the Internet. I thought I’d go crazy.
2. Candlelight is only romantic for about an hour then it sucks.
3. It’s difficult to read by candlelight.
4. I would never make it as a writer if I had to use pen and paper.
5. It wasn’t extremely warm but I missed my AC and ceiling fans.
6. Moonlight is a wonderful thing.
7. A house without power is extremely quiet.
8. The power went out before the Nascar race last Sunday so I listened to it on the radio. I don’t like listening to sporting events.
9. When the power go out people quickly buy up all the ice. It took my husband hours to find ice. I have to have cold Mountain Dew.
10. My dh is addicted to TV and without it he gets nasty.
11. My daughter wanted to live at Panera Bread where there was a WiFi connection and a place to charge her cell. I am not fond of crowds and quickly checked my emails and left to her dismay.
12. When there is no light my body quickly decides it’s bedtime, even if it’s only 8:30pm.
13. Fast food is wonderful as a treat. Eating it two times a day for several days is nauseating.

Thankfully, my power came back yesterday afternoon and I feel human again.

The aftermath of Ike roared through Kentucky and made a huge mess. I'm without power and it looks like it may be out for 7-14 days! Yikes!

“L.A. Day’s Feral Intensity is a quick-witted, fast-paced morsel ripe for the devouring. I know I gobbled it up in record time.
