Here's a sneaky peek of what's on offer.
Welcome to my features blog, Kay. Take yourself back 20 years and tell us if you had any
aspirations to become an author at that time. I’ve always been a writer, even when I was a little
kid. After I made my initial sale, my
father gave me something he’d been saving.
It was a tiny book I’d made and written in. The title was My First Book. It was about a pony, believe it or not.
What were you mainly doing as a daily occupation at that
time? Just to name a few, I’ve worked as a home builder, a
computer programmer at NASA, and owned my own jewellery firm. Oh, and I have a degree in behavioural science. I’m not lying. Really. I’ve done it all.
And today? How do you mainly spend an average day? I try to write 10-20 pages a day, usually fail, then go out
and get coffee. About 5 minutes before
my husband comes home and wants to eat, I get going.
Now jump forward 20 years from today. What do you think
you’d like to be doing then? Probably the same thing.
(Hey! These are hard
questions. You’re making me think!)
What’s your preferred genre for reading material? Well, romance, of course.
But I also have a thing for apocalyptic fiction. And right now I’m reading Game of
Thorns. I’m in awe.
What genre/ sub-genre do you feel comfortable writing in? I love romantic suspense, but I’m doing a short contemporary
next. Something a lot lighter, funnier,
sexier.
What do you think will be the main reading materials within
the next decade? Books, some form of portable tablets? I can’t begin to imagine.
If my husband is any example, I’d say our electronics will be part of
our bodies from which we are never parted.
In recent years there’s been a movement towards popular
cult-type stories- sometimes driven by what’s been popular on TV and the
cinema, like Vampire, shifter, time-shift sub-genres. What do you see as being
the ideal focus to capture the imagination in 5 years time? I would LOVE to know the answer to this because I would
start writing it right now and make a fortune.
Unfortunately, I’m not very good at that sort of thing. That said, I am
seeing more and more zombies, though.
(In literature, not literally) I love zombies.
Can you give us an idea of what your writing schedules might
be like during the remainder of 2013 and on to 2014? Flexible. Always
flexible. I would like to see my short
contemporary hit the e-shelves shortly but time will tell.
Fast and furious:
Ice cream or chocolate cake? cake
Home made lemonade or rum cocktails? Sorry…beer
Cycling tour of France or a beach holiday in the Caribbean? The beach, for sure
A date with a politician, or a date with Gerard Butler? Is this a trick question?
Gerard Butler, of course!
Children or pets? Pets, Cats especially.
My Bengal kitty for sure!
Fantastic answers, Kay! Thank you.
She loved him so much, she was willing to kill. He loved her so much, he was willing to die.
One night with bad-girl biker Jessie Delacort should have been enough for straight-laced cop Kingson Landry. But she got under his skin and hasn’t let go. Discovering she’s an undercover Texas ACES agent makes it even harder to resist her. But he must, because his past could kill Jessie just as easily as it has the other people he loves.
When Jessie Delacort rides into town on her Harley, the last thing she wants is to fall in love with another man who is hiding secrets too dark to reveal.?But when they’re forced to work together to bring down a powerful drug cartel, Jessie knows she’s got it bad for the quiet cop with the haunted eyes.
When the cartel’s vengeance-driven leader sets his sights on the two of them, King knows he’ll do whatever it takes to keep Jessie safe. Even if that means giving up their chance of turning the white-hot attraction between them into love.
Kay invites you ...
If you

Jessie Delacourt and Kingson Landry from King of Hearts, my latest Entangled
Ignite, before the book even opens! This is the sixth installment. Don’t miss any of them and be sure to leave a
comment for a chance to win a great pair of earrings! The
tour schedule can be found at kaydavid.com
or buythebooktours.com.
Before Jessie Delacourt
stopped behind King Landry at the bar where he sat, she had acknowledged to
herself, once again, that she was tired of playing by the rules, no matter how
important they were. As long as she
didn’t put the ACES or their undercover mission in danger, didn’t she have the
right to blow off some steam? If she
didn’t, she erupt and that would be more dangerous than having sex with a
stranger.
At least
that’s what she’d thought at the time.
Tall enough
to look over everyone else in the bar, King caught her gaze and held it it. She
soaked him up. Blue eyes. Wide shoulders.
A very kissable mouth. She felt her heart lurch and she wasn’t a woman
whose heart did funny things when she saw a good-looking man.
In the
second before she spoke, she thought about all the gambits her friends back
home had used on men.
1.) “Can I have my girlfriend take a picture
of us? I want to make my ex-boyfriend
jealous.”
She’d heard
a woman use this once. Jessie had choked
on her beer. Maybe it’d been the truth,
she thought later, when she saw the couple dancing. Who knew?
2.) “You look like a man who knows what he
wants.”
The line
would have been the truth with King, even though she didn’t know it at the
time. In fact, it applied to him in too many ways to count.
3.) “Do you
live around here?”
An old
standard for sure. She knew the answer already so it’d be dumb, too. But what would she say when he asked her the
same thing? Something like ‘that’s on a
need to know basis?’ She couldn’t be able to tell him anything but lies if
he turned the tables on her.
4.) “Do you want to dance?”
Afterward
he told her he’d considered this one, too, but discarded it for the very same
reason. Both thought if they made it to
the dance floor, clothes might start fall to the floor right then and there. Neither could afford that possibility.
5.) “Let’s get outta her. Right now.”
It came out
before she could stop herself.
Kay asks:
Tell me a
line that you’ve successfully used. And
keep reading my blog tour. Don’t you
want to know what King says after Jessie delivers her line?
