Hey Everyone,
FYI, I am having my surgery tomorrow, October 1st so I will be unavailable for a couple of days. I will check emails as soon as possible and I’ll post as soon as I feel well enough.
It figures that the weather is turning beautiful just as I’m about to be confined. Hope you all have great weather and a chance to enjoy it.
I still have to post my October Newsletter tonight on my site. After that, if I have the time, I'll post something yummy for anyone who stops by to see.
Talk to you soon,
Laura

The Midnight Seduction Authors are hosting a contest with Two Lips Reviews and Topaz Promotions to celebrate our one year anniversary. Click link below for all the details.
Contest Details!
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.

Hey,
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!
I'm at my sister's house right now and I'll do my best to check email when I can. My Insight email address laday @ insightbb.com is out because our cable system is out. Don't know when I'll be able to access that account.
If you need to reach me email:
la.daywrites @ yahoo.com (no spaces)
Take care all!
Alyssa!
Congrats to you.
I sent you and email. Please reply to it.
Thanks to all those that visited or read the excerpts and entered contest later.
Are you looking for a way to relax and get away from the stress and pressures of the day?
Join me for a chat at Talking TwoLips from 7-9pm EST tonight.
I’ll share some hot excerpts, some sneak peeks at what’s to come and offer a prize to one reader.

Warriors in Time coming to Print!
I didn't prepare a TT for today and I'm about to head out to donate blood. Shortly after 911, some co-workers and I answered the call for blood. Since then, it has turned into a tradition to donate on September 11th. This is one small way that I chose to honor the day.
September is around the corner which means the 2008 TV season begins! I’m still sad that Moonlight will not return but I’m looking forward to new episodes of Criminal Minds, Bones & CSI. Unfortunately, I believe CSI is losing Warrick on the first episode and I heard Gil is leaving too. I’m not sure if I’ll continue watching after they both exit.
I haven’t looked into many of the new shows but The Ex List and Eleventh Hour look interesting.
What shows are you all looking forward to seeing?
What new shows look interesting?
I rented and watched Lost Boys, The Tribe, tonight. I enjoyed it. I’m a huge fan of the original, The Lost Boys. This one wasn’t as good but I still liked it. Corey Feldman is in this one too. Also, Angus Sutherland is the lead vampire. For those of you that remember The Lost Boys with Keifer Sutherland, Angus is his younger brother.
If you set aside my passion for my family and my passion for writing, you have my passion for reading. I can’t remember how old I was when I discovered my passion for reading but it’s safe to say it was my first passion. I remember sneaking off with my mother’s romance novels and reading them. This was in the early 1970’s so they were mild. However, when my mother found out she wasn’t pleased. I’d have to say though that those early romance set me on the course I live today.
In my teens, I began reading Harlequin type books and then I discovered historicals. As long as it’s romance, I’ll read it. Although, these days I prefer paranormal and sci-fi erotic romance, I still read the occasional Harlequin.
My favorite author of all-times is Diana Palmer. I love her Long, Tall, Texan Series. I own almost all of her books and I often reread them.
Reading is my passion and it has gotten my through some rough times in my life. I can only hope that my stories have as profound affect on someone as books have had on my life.
Whatever passion inspires you enjoy it, live it.
Have a great weekend. I plan to enjoy a new book and a few old ones too.
The Kentucky State Fair is in town and I thought I'd post about the things I enjoy at the fair.
1. People watching. Sitting around watching people can be very entertaining.
2. The music tents. Some of the performers are awesome.
3. The huge sow and the baby pigs. I love the baby pigs.
4. Petting the bunnies. Their fur is so soft.
5. Cool hand-made jewelry
6. The native crafts
7. The rides
8. Playing the games. You know they cheat but you can't stop playing.
9. The food-Elephant Ears
10. Corn on the cob cooked in the husk with tons of butter
11. Watching my hubby glare at the boys eyeing our daughter. (20 years ago he used to glare at them watching me. Where did the time go?)
12. Horse shows. I like the miniature horse shows.
13. Finding your car after a long, hot day and sitting down in the air conditioner. Your feet hurt, your shoes are sticky, you're hotter than hell. You had fun.

Haven't posted in a while. School started back and I've been spending all my time catching up on my writing. Finished one WIP and started another that's mostly finished. When the mood strikes, I have to write.
I'll be back in a bit with my TT.
I spent most of last week in Chicago with my family. Two days were spent on Michigan Avenue shopping with my daughter and niece. Below is a list of some of the shops we visited.
1. Guess
2. Bebe
3. Coach
4. Macy's
5. Saks
6. Gap
7. Banana Republic
8. Abercrombie & Fitch
9. Aeropostale
10. Chicago Cubs Clubhouse Shop
11. Forever 21
12. Hollister
13. Sephora
I couldn't list them all so this is just a selection of some of the shops I remember. They have a wonderful time and are currently planning how they can live in a Chicago highrise overlooking Michigan Ave or Lake Michigan. I told them they had to go to college and find a very high paying career. Maybe, it will be insentive to do well in high school.

Morning, all,
Just got back from a week in Chicago and I’m glad to be home. Don’t get me wrong, I love the city but I was ready for the quiet life again. We took my almost fourteen y/o daughter and my fifteen y/o niece with us and they had a blast. They absolutely loved Michigan Ave. What teenage girl doesn’t want to shop all day? We had plans to go to zoos, museums, the aquarium but they just wanted to shop. We did manage to go to The Hancock Observatory and Navy Pier. The view was fabulous.
My dh is from the suburbs of Chicago so I’ve been in Chicago before so we left this trip up to the girls. They thoroughly enjoyed the trip and so did we. My dh didn’t complain once about all the shopping. He’s so sweet!
Hope you all enjoyed your weekend.

Yesterday was my anniversary. So today, I thought I’d list 13 things I’ve learned about men over the years. Some I’ve learned from my husband and some from all the men in my life.
1. GPS is the most awesome invention. Now we don’t have to ride around lost for hours.
2. Men do not Bitch. They cuss, swear, argue or fight but they do not bitch. So don’t tell them to quit bitching.
3. A ‘Love Injection’ can cure anything. I have been told that there is much evidence to back this up but I haven’t seen it myself.
4. Men think slapping your ass or pinching you is foreplay –sad but true.
5. Straight men think it is more natural for women to be lesbians than for men to be gay.
6. Within 2 minutes, a man can turn any conversation into a conversation about sex.
7. As men age, they lose the hair on their head and grow it everywhere else.
8. Most men enjoy playing with sex toys as long as they are not being replaced by one.
9. Men will watch sappy love stories if they think it will lead to sex.
10. When reading erotic romances, men skip through and only read the ‘good parts’. (sex & violence)
11. Men only know primary colors. They do not wear lilac, sea foam, teal, aqua etc.
12. If you are both sick, they are sicker. You have never been as sick as they are.
13. Men do not show weakness in front of other men. If they smash their thumb with a hammer or cut themselves on a piece of pipe they will say they are fine as finger, toe, limb, etc is still attached. They will not bitch about it until they get hoe. (Oops-I meant they won’t cuss about it. See #2.)

We got a chance to watch it this evening and I loved it. Parts of it were sad and hit close to home but it still had us laughing out loud. I'm not a huge fan of comedy but this one is awesome.
Seems like I’ve been everywhere but home lately. I spent a week on vacation then returned to a sick MIL. She lives in the Chicago area so we spent the long weekend at her house. Thankfully, she is out of the hospital and hopefully on the road to recovery.
With all of the driving we’ve done in the last few weeks, I’m exhausted and way behind on my writing. Last night though, we took a little time to relax and rented 10,000 BC. It wasn’t a great movie but it wasn’t bad and Steven Strait as D’Leh was very hot in a caveman kind of way. My daughter loved the movie and my husband did manage to stay awake so it couldn’t be too bad.
We also rented The Bucket List, we plan to watch it tonight.
Today's TT is pictures from my vacation on Alligator Point. There are also pictures from Wakulla Springs.

I’m back from vacation and buried under in emails. Once I am caught up, I have some wonderful things to share. While I was away, I received some fabulous reviews, a beautiful cover for Greek Temptation and some awesome print news.
I have lots of pictures and I plan to download them and share them on my Thursday Thirteen. We stayed at a beach house on Alligator Point, FL. It was very secluded and quite beautiful.
Hey,
No TT this week maybe not next week either!
I'm off for the next week or so do the vacation thingy. I'm taking the laptop with and hope to do lots of writing but won't be on the Internet as much. I will check my email when I can.
Hope you all have a great week!
Currently, I'm working on a vampire story and it reminds me how much I miss Buufy, Angel and now Moonlight. Pout!

WooHoo! David Cook wins American Idol. Although, both David's were awesome, Cook win by 12 million votes. I was somewhat surprised but pleased. His performance tonight with ZZ Top was fabulous. I enjoy watching the show with my daughter. It's the only reality show that I watch.
Today, my daughter is graduating from 8th grade. She looked so beautiful when she left for school. It's so hard to believe she's going to be 14 and in high school next year. She's changed a lot in the last year and it's kind of sad. She's not my little baby anymore.
Another complaint about tv programing. Can you believe they are canceling Moonlight after one season? It was my favorite new show. Mick is so hot! I hope another network picks it up.
I'm so sick of reality tv. The networks could cancel all of them and I wouldn't complain but they have to cancel the hot vampire show.
Anyone watch Bones last night? I love the show. Booth and Bones are great together however I really hated what they did with Zack. I liked Zack and I can't believe they are writting him out.
This is an unedited excerpt of Satin Seduction.
Blurb:
How far will lingerie designed, Nicole James go to sell her new line to her studly boss? Jake Malone has desired the full-figured designer since their first meeting. Talking her into modeling her designs is just the first step in seducing her.
Excerpt:
He fingered the corset she’d thrown on his desk. “This corset is a satin blend?”
“Satin-Lycra blend. It’s comfortable, yet controls,” she explained. “Comfort and control are important ingredients for a full-figured line.”
“What else have you designed, besides the thong, of course?”
“I have three panties, the Brazilian-cut, a hip-hugger, the thong and a brief.”
“No granny panties?” He winked.
“Never!” She pretended to gasp in horror. “Banish the thought. I’ve also finished designs for another corset, a bustier and some night clothes.”
“You’ve been busy. Have you had anyone model them?” His brows rose. “We need to test the comfort and control.”
Biting her lip, she hesitated. “We don’t have larger models. I made them in my size.”
Picking up the thong, his fingers traced the lacy edge. “You’ve modeled these?”
“I tried everything on to test the comfort and fit. Those don’t actually offer control but…” She hesitated.
“They’re sexy as hell.” His eyes ran over her and a shiver rode her spine. “Are you wearing one of your creations now?”
Nicole laughed nervously.
Jake grinned in a way that would wet any red-blooded woman’s panties. “You said you’d never charge me with harassment.”
She raised her chin. “I meant it.”
“What are you wearing?”
Her tongued felt glued to the top of her mouth and she swallowed. “I’m wearing a slimming corset with support for…”
“Support for large-breasted women?” His gaze devoured her chest. She could almost believe he could see through her clothes.
“Yes.”
He crushed the thong in his hand. “What type of panty?”
“A ruffled Brazilian-cut,” she answered and was surprised how breathy her voice sounded.
“Damn,” he breathed the word as his eyes stripped her clothing from her body. “Can I talk you into modeling them for me?”
