The witch is back!!!

Mea culpa. Lo siento mucho. I apologize profusely. Folks have told me they haven’t been able to reach me.

Oops.

I hadn’t planned on disappearing. Unfortunately, my gmail account got corrupted in a way I still don’t understand and can’t access on the computer I used to use in the same way.

I have had sooo much going on that real life overtook the life of my fiction and my communication with you all. I’ve had to deal with folks getting ill, folks falling down and not getting up, myself catching the (ahem) tail end of the piggie fluj-like that afflicted us here in New York. On the flip side, I’ve also been healed of an illness I’ve been dealing with since childhood and discovered I have a calling  I hadn[t anticipated (more on that at a later date).

But I’m back hoping all of you will forgive me for not posting the results of the contest sooner (again, couldn’t access mail) but it is up now. Congrats to our winner Phyllis Lamken.  Way to go!

I’m also announcing the classes I’ll be teaching this summer and fall. First, we’ll have a little summer suspense thing. In September I’ll focus on helping you make your love scenes sizzle.

So thanks for your concern folks. You can always reach me on my contact me page.

Until next time –
Dee

It’s baaaaack–almost

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the bookstore–my first book Spellbound is being reprinted this month by Parker Publishing.  Pay no attention to the wedding cake on the cover.  It’s not a story that ends in a wedding, but what happens when my heroine Ariel arrives on Martha’s Vineyard to attend her cousin’s wedding.  Let’s just say that I wanted the tagline on the book to be because every good bridesmaid deserves fun.  LOL

It’s a lighthearted romp around the island where I spent the summers of my misspent youth and where I started writing.  It’s the story that made me the debut Rising Star author at Romance in Color and the book that spawned the series that included Holding Out for a Hero, Lady in Red and the upcoming Forbidden Games.

If you’ve read this book and loved it, please share it with a friend (makes a great holiday gift).  And don’t forget to enter my new contest to win an autographed copy plus an iTunes gift card.

The Organization

poitier in the organizationYes, it is one of my favorite Poitier flicks, but I’m talking about the organization of this blog. I figured I might try posting on particular topics on specific days so folks know what they’re getting. I’d love to have a guest blogger on Mondays as often as possible, so if you’ve got something to say, drop me a note and I’ll schedule you in. On Wednesdays, I wanted to do something sexy for Wicked Wednesdays (getting you over the, ahem, hump of the work week). On Fridays I’d like to post the paranormal–hey, I’m old enough to have seen the original Freaky Friday, in the movie theatre, with my mother. Damn, that’s ancient. But anyway, I am off-topic. Tune in Tuesdays for a Crime Scene post and Thursday, well. Don’t know what to do about Thursday. Maybe a writing tip or two. Now since it’s Wednesday . . .

And so it is

Some of you astute visitors may have noticed the addition of a couple of genres in the header. No, I haven’t sold something yet I haven’t told you about, but I’m working on projects in all those areas.

From my more esoteric pursuits, I’ve learned the best way to manifest something is to act and intend as if it is already so–some call that operating from the I AM consciousness (others call it wishful thinking)

Whatever you call it, I am seriously hoping to sell those projects. So I hope you’ll add your wishes to mine. Now, if only a few editors are listening . . .

Welcome to my new blog!

Thanks so much for stopping by my new website and my new blog.  As I said in my reader message, I did it all myself.  Scaree. But somehow I survived, so I hope you like the new look.

Part of the reason I moved the blog was so that it was attached to my new website and bore the same design.  Truthfully, it all turned out better than I had hoped.

While you’re here, please come in and look around, and tell me what you think.





Get into your most comfortable reading chair, take off your shoes, turn off the phone and let Ms. Savoy's incredible talent take you away. --Debra Ross, Romance in Color

A skewed sense of humor has kept me sane through 10+ years of teaching and almost as many writing. I invite you to come in and look around. Leave a comment if you like. My goal is to leave you with a smile on your face and a few new thoughts to mull over. If you like the blog, please tell your friends. If not, tell your enemies.
