Have I even given you any teasers for BANE’S CHOICE? (coming October 27; already sold to audio)

https://alyssaday.com/books/banes-choice/overview/

Here’s a snippet of when Bane first encounters Ryan:

Bane was nodding at Hunter when the woman he hadn’t even known he’d been waiting three hundred years for ran into the room and started shouting at him.

“Who the hell are you, and where is my staff? My God, you’re not even sterile, and ninety percent of his body is open to compromise!” She ran across the room, put herself between Hunter and Bane, and shoved Bane away from the bed, putting her entire body weight into it.

Jack is Back!

from APPLE OF MY EYE (set in early November), coming next month:

I was singing loudly along to Santa, Baby, when the bells over the door chimed, signaling a customer.

“I’ll be right with you,” I called out, concentrating on trying to thread a bit of glittery gold tinsel through a rather plain-looking wreath.

“No rush,” a very familiar voice drawled. “I’m just glad to discover that the noise was your

singing and not the terrible shrieks of tortured tourists.”

That was just mean. Accurate, maybe, but mean.

I focused—really, really hard—on not falling off my stepladder.

Jack was back.

I refused to turn around to look at him until I knew I could keep the emotions off my face. “Gone for more than two months, and the first thing you do when you get back is criticize my singing?”

I heard two fast footsteps, and then his hands were on my waist, and he plucked me off the ladder and pulled me to him in a long, tight hug.

“I thought I’d start with the ‘I’m so glad to be home’ kiss, but then I figured you’d punch me in the face,” he said, when he finally let me go.

“Good call,” I said, narrowing my eyes.

And then I punched him in the stomach.

The Double-Decker Dog Palace

In dog news, I asked Navy Guy to build a nice dog bed for Rosie and Penny, since Connor leaves for law school soon, and instead, being himself, he built a Double Decker Dog Palace! Rosie the pug loves it and slept inside all night last night, but Penny isn’t quite sure yet.

Thank goodness! It was a very stressful couple of weeks, quarantining and waiting for testing. But my schedule is blown up, so I’m moving the next two books back by a month each. Apple of My Eye will now be out 8/26, and Blink of an Eye will now be out 9/24. Thank you so much for your patience!

Me, generally: Do young people get arthritis? Because I have a terrible suspicion that I’m getting arthritis in my right thumb.

Everybody: *crowds around to look at my thumb*

Law School Ninja: Well. You’re not really young, Mom.

Me: Have fun paying for law school, kid.

Him: I have a scholarship

Me: Have fun living in a cardboard box at law school, kid.

The St. Augustine Art Association is hosting a summer sale. I wanted to buy All The Art, but managed to restrain myself (sharing is good!) and just brought home this gorgeous dancer. She’s an inspiration in my office. The artist is Donna McCarthy-Jensen. I quite love it!

The peril of BOGO

July 17, 2020 by Alyssa Day Leave a Comment

Me: Hey – buy a few donuts on your way home.

Navy Guy, walking in the door with two giant boxes of donuts: IT WAS A BOGO!

Me: There are only three people in this house! That’s 24 donuts!

Him: BOGO

Me: I …

Him: BOGO! DONUTS!

Me: Sigh.

A man named Lucky walked into my pawnshop carrying a skull and a pie tin.

June In Atlantis! Final Days FREE For January In Atlantis!

May 16, 2020 by Alyssa Day 2 Comments

I hope everyone is staying safe and staying sane in these difficult times. I finally got to see my daughter again for Mother’s Day, and we snuck off to a tiny beach nobody really knows about and practiced social distancing for 45 minutes with the soothing sounds and sights and smells of nature. I didn’t even realize how much I needed it until I felt my shoulders relax from two months of sustained tension. We also celebrated Law School Ninja’s 23rd birthday with a special dinner and chocolate pie (his pick!) at home. I hope you had a lovely weekend.

TIGER’S EYE MYSTERIES RELEASE DATE CHANGES!

May 16, 2020 by Alyssa Day Leave a Comment

This has been a scary time, hasn’t it? We lost a beloved family member and it was very hard not to have been able to even have a funeral for her. I hope you and your loved ones are doing well and staying safe. As a tiny way to help put a smile on your face during a difficult time, I’m giving you a FREE short story about Jack. Please see below for a cover reveal and the details about releases, too. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Releases:
Unfortunately, due to the pandemic and impacts on both me and my production team, you may have noticed that we’ve had to postpone some releases. Since A DEAD END CHRISTMAS is a Christmas book, I’ve moved it to Christmas, 2020, and I’ll be changing the book so it fits in the timeline. We also delayed APPLE OF MY EYE to May 28, and I have to admit that this may not be a final date, because it depends on when my editors can get back to work.

**NOTE: We’ll have news on the Poseidon’s Warriors schedule in an upcoming post. Stay tuned!**

In fun news: here’s the beautiful cover for APPLE!!

When Tess starts receiving mysterious gifts from a stalker, addressed to “The Apple of My Eye,” she starts to worry. Because it’s Dead End, Florida, where dead bodies have been piling up faster than competitive pecan pies at the county fair. But when the gifts turn deadly, she and Jack know they have to solve the mystery and track down the stalker before they find another dead body … and this time it might be Tess!

Please see below for adjusted release times and the link for your FREE short story. I appreciate your patience with me during these difficult times.

All my love and happy reading,
Alyssa
