Interview with Author Francis Ray


Happy fall, end of the hot, hot summer. One of the founders of Romance Slam Jam, Francis Ray has agreed to be my….LOL. She’s graciously agreed to be interviewed. Hello Francis, thank you for joining in the craziness. What is your most decadent (G-rated) wish?

Francis: A spa vacation package for 7 days at Lake Austin Spa and Resort.Dyanne: I hope you get a chance to make your wish your true. Can you tell us a secret that no one knows about you?

Francis: I'm terrified each time I start plotting/writing a new book.

Dyanne: Francis, you have no idea how many aspiring writers will be helped by your answers to that question. Thank you. Now tell us the secret you don't want anyone to find out.

Francis: I can't tell you, but it has something to do with housework.

Dyanne: That’s a big hint. And since I’ve been giving my sister the excuse for years that writers don’t have time to clean I’m always happy to have back up support. LOL. Francis, can you tell us what’s on your already full plate for the rest of the year?

Francis: I just finished IT HAD TO BE YOU, book # 4 of the Grayson Friends Series which is scheduled for release May 2010. Two weeks ago I sent back the first proof pages for ONE NIGHT WITH YOU, the November 03, 2009 release and book # 3 in the Grayson Friends Series. Before that it was first proof pages of IF YOU WERE MY MAN, book # 5 of the Invincible Women Series due out February 2010.. After a few days of down time, I'll start the research for my next mainstream family series tentatively titled Texas Titans: The Warricks. Of course I'll also have to write the next book in the Grayson Friends Series. I also have a couple of out of town book signings scheduled. Thankfully, it never ends.

Dyanne: I’d like to add that Francis Ray is doing a blog tour in October. She’s even going to stop by my blog. http://dyannedavis.blogspot.com/. I don’t want to brag but I received and read and thoroughly enjoyed an advance reader’s copy of One Night with YOU. Go to my blog leave a question for Francis and I will send my copy of the book to the one I think asked the most original question. Francis will stop in to answer questions as time permits.Dyanne: Francis, last question. Where can readers reach you?

Francis: Email: francisray@aol.com

Thanks for the interview. Dyanne, if I may, I'd like to thank readers. Their wonderful support helped NOBODY BUT YOU hit the New York Times and the U.S.A. Today bestselling list the first week the book was out. In mid July NOBODY BUT YOU won Border's Bestselling Multicultural romance for 2008. I appreciate my readers so very much. Thank you for helping me succeed.

Interview with Author RaeLynn Blue



Our next interview is with RaeLynn Blue. Hello RaeLynn. Thank you for stopping by to acquaint the Romance Slam Jam family with you.

RayLynn: Hello Dyanne!

Dyanne: I know you write fantasy. I could do with a bit of fantasy right about now. Can you write me one in a couple of lines?

RayLynn: Sweat, throat dry, and heart heaving as the rush of pleasure downgraded from furious to flushing warmth, Dyanne moaned, body singing in the afterglow. With a breath across her empty right hand, a tall glass of ice water appeared, courtesy of the handsome, glistening and very delectable shifter on her right. Even beneath the soft hush of twilight, his grin spoke of his pleasure--and hinted at more to come.

Dyanne: I loved that. I’m still fanning. Thank you. I also know you write sci -fi. Place me in one of your worlds and tell me what my reaction would be.

RayLynn: "Where the hell am I and what it that awful smell?"Dyanne said, as the reeking odor of sour, old beer wafted through the bog of sweaty bodies. The Cat’s Meow remained the sole bar on this side of the moon that hadn’t been closed due to incompetence. The raging colony war continued to chew up the chalky dust covered surface of the moon with regularity. She met the eyes of a hot, sexy soldier at the bar. He gestured to the bartender for a glass of watered down, flaf beer. Let him bring the beer and his fine body on over to her. She wasn't here for the taste anyway--at least of the beer. The soldier, well that was debatable.

Dyanne: You’re very funny and very good at playing this game. I’m really enjoying this. So now, here on earth what is your most outlandish wish (G rated)

RayLynn: I wish to be infinitely brilliant and ultra sexy. Wait! Would that make me Tyra?

Dyanne: LOL. I have the power to grant that wish. Do you want me to or would there be another wish you'd like instead?

RayLynn: Hmmmm, no. I want to be awarded 1.83 billion dollars.

Dyanne: I’d love to know why the .83 billon but I won’t ask. Where can readers find you?
RayLynn: Readers can find me amongst the other BadAzz Authors (http://www.badazzauthors.com/) and at my own spot (http://raelynnblue.blogspot.com/
Dyanne: Thanks RaeLynn, you were really a lot of fun.
