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?

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.

Hi, Dyanne and Francis!
Thank you for doing this interview.
Francis, I'm so relieved to hear you're terrified each time you start plotting/writing a new book. LOL! So am I. LOL!
Thank you also for the hours or reading enjoyment you give us. The New York Times and every other *best* list you achieve are very well deserved.
Keep thrilling the masses!

Great interview Dyanne and Francis. As Patricia stated it's so good to know an awesome, seasoned writer experience such anxiety. However, I've never been let down by a Francis Ray novel :) Just finished And Mistress Makes Three...totally loved it! Looking forward to reading upcoming release in Nov.
