Sorry. I’ve got a deadline that’s breathing down my neck. I’ll be back when I’m out from under it. ((hugs))

Bound

BoundBerkley Trade (June 27, 2006)
ISBN: 0425212742

BOUND UNIVERSE
Includes excerpts, unpublished scenes and review quotes.

BLURB:

Bound by fantasy.
Everyone thinks small town Katie Long is the good girl looking for tender romance. All she needs is to find the right man. Katie couldn’t agree more. She too has always fantasized about the “right man.” But what she’s looking for is one who’ll give her exactly what she wants. And everything she needs.

Bound by desire.
Joe Carson is that man. A security guard at a local casino, he’s the answer to her sensual prayers. But there’s more to Joe than even Katie realizes. And more to their nightgames than just master and slave.

Now Katie wonders just how far she’ll go with a man who’s more than ready to take her…

Turned out okay

I was released from jury duty at 11:30, but during the 3 1/2 hours I was there, I made it through 70 pages or so of my copy edits for THE STRANGER I MARRIED.

TSIM is the first manuscript that I wrote under deadline and I finished it just in time to mail it. I didn’t have the opportunity to run through it like I used to back in the day, so seeing it again is a learning experience. This ms has far fewer ce corrections, because I’m getting better at the actual craft of writing. But I’m also finding that I didn’t always use the best word choices the first time around. I’m going through and substituting words that mean the exact same thing, but fit better IMO. I’ve always thought of myself as a storyteller more so than a writer, but I’m rethinking that now.

I’m really looking forward to the time when I slow down a bit with my schedule, so I can have more leeway. I like to let the work sit before sending it off. In the meantime, my trusty pencil works and Kensington has been absolutely fabulous about how I pick things apart. I’m grateful for that.

In personal news, my father-in-law passed away today. He survived colon cancer a couple years ago only to be diagnosed with lung cancer earlier this year. He was in the hospital last week for surgery to remove a tumor in his lungs and he was discharged. He was at home when he passed away, quite unexpectedly. The cause of death has yet to be determined. My husband lost his mother to lung cancer just three years ago, so it’s a cruel blow coming so soon on the heels of that.

Jury Duty

I posted over at the Allure blog.

Jury duty, copy edits, and a July 1st deadline. *sigh*

Cooked

Yesterday, I went to a picnic that we go to every year. It’s in a park just off the water in San Diego. It’s got beautiful views and a few hundred people show up, and we eat and run races–potato sack, three-legged, etc.

I got fried. Cooked crispy. Burnt. :(

But it was fun! *g*

Oh, and my Author in the Spotlight over at RomanticTimes.com just went up. (you have to be an RT subscriber and logged into the Special Features to see it.) It features a never-before-seen excerpt of ASK FOR IT, which releases in just 29 days

Here’s RT’s review. I’m super happy with it! :)

Nothing ignites Marcus Ashford, the Earl of Westfield’s emotions more than the thought of being near his former fiancee Lady Elizabeth Hawthorne. As one of the Crown’s foremost cryptographers, he’s been assigned to protect the young widow and the code she possesses.

Dark secrets and a hidden journal were responsible for her husband’s death. Now, Elizabeth is being threatened by his enemies and must entrust her safety to the one man she can’t be near. She jilted him, but has never forgotten the rising desire he ignited in her — a passion so strong it scared her.

Marcus will not rest until Elizabeth is in his bed, willing to surrender everything to him. But as they crave each other, a sinister foe plots their demise.

Day spins a marvelously sensual novel of suspense that tantalizes our senses, as well as challenges our minds to solve the mystery surrounding the lovers. Day is a writer whose flair for sensuality and storytelling will take her far.

The road left to travel

Everytime I sit down to write a story, I think there’s no possible way that I can. No ideas will come to me. Really. I can’t think of ANYTHING! It’s almost depressing. And then somehow it happens, ideas come.

But that time before they do is really, really scary.
