And a very romantic return to Atlantis, for Valentine’s Day? I donated a short story–Valentine’s Day in Atlantis--to this anthology to benefit First Coast Romance Writers, a non-profit chapter of Romance Writers of America that helps writers hone their craft and expand their knowledge of the publishing industry. A portion of the proceeds will also be donated to Feed America.

Got carded buying wine!
Me: Really? *dripping skepticism*
Her: It’s the mask.
Me: Oh! That makes sense. Here’s my ID.
Her: Plus you have really young hair.
Me:
So there you have it. Young hair and wine – my Monday is going to be awesome. LOL.

(In worse news – and why I needed the wine – had to postpone APPLE OF MY EYE to September. Stay tuned for exact release date.)

ACIMH: Grilled cheese edition

August 12, 2020 by Alyssa Day Leave a Comment

ACIMH*

Last night at 9 or so I decided I really needed a grilled cheese sandwich.

Me: I really want a grilled cheese sandwich.

Navy Guy: And this is a hint?

Me: Nope. I can make it myself.

NG, jumping up: Nope, I’ll make it. It will just be better.

Grilled Cheese Sandwich Served On A Plate

[NOTE: I have a slight history of burning grilled cheese sandwiches. Like, All the grilled cheese sandwiches]

Me: HEY! I didn’t burn one, once.

NG: And it was a proud moment for all of us.

Me:

Me: *laughing too hard to punch him*

(he did make a perfectly golden brown grilled cheese sandwich)

Me: Show off.

(this is a generic sandwich pic; I ate mine too fast to take a picture of it)

ACIMH* – Painting edition

Me: Oops! I got dressed in these nice clothes and actually put makeup on since we’re venturing out, but I forgot I wanted to put the second coat of paint on my bookcase this morning. Will you do it for me?

Navy Guy: Oh. The “I forgot” excuse. Nice!

Me: Never mind. I’ll do it.

NG: And then you’ll get a migraine from the heat and have to sit all alone in a dark room, and it will be my fault?

Me: Um…

NG: I’ll paint your bookcase, honey.

Me, in the garage: That’s the wrong brush. I used this brush.

NG: *Explains why his brush is better* (he’s right)

Me: Ah, you missed a spot there.

NG: *Gives me The Look*

Me: I’m just supervising!

NG: You’re lucky you’re cute.

Rainy afternoon…

A fresh cup of coffee, a slice of homemade pineapple-coconut cake, and notes on my next story. This miserable rainy weather (and my migraine) will not defeat me. I hope you’re all having a lovely day.

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!

July 24, 2020 by Alyssa Day Leave a Comment

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.
