Hey all,
It feels like forever since I have blogged on here. I had a hellish deadline; two stories due at the same time… May 1st. One for Avon, one for Kensington.
I took a trip in April so that I would not be distracted by dishes, laundry, picking up kids toys, cooking, etc. I found that this works really well for me and will continue to do this in the future when I have deadlines. I suppose, who doesn't work better when you can sit in the sun and have vodka gimlets brought to you as you write! I did however gain 10lbs from eating too much chocolate and carbs. sigh.
I also had a release during this time… Animal Lust came out in March and because of my distraction and stress, I really have not had a chance to promote it/ hold contests. Etc.
I also had a site redesign during this time so if you have not seen it… stop by and take a look at my new site! www.lacydanes.com
I am starting to think proposals for my next book. I tend to get my best ideas when I am reading history books… Have no idea what I will be doing just yet.
If you have any suggestions on a good history book, social history or other, or if you have something you would love to see from me; paranormal dragons, paranormal bears, or straight historical, tell me in a comment here and I will pull a name to win a copy of Animal Lust at 9PM PST on May 13th!
The two stories I recently turned in were straight historical, but as always… erotic.
Hugs and kisses!
Lacy.
My new book released this past week and has been doing so very very well... So i thought I would give away a free copy!
So here is my question...
What is your favorite sub genre of historical romance? ie Paranormal historical, Time travel historical, wild west, Victorian etc...
I will draw one winner at 9PM PST on Monday March 10th from everyone who posts their answer.
Also I wanted you all to know that I will be doing a reading and signing at the Seattle Babeland store on Tuesday March 11th from 6-8 pm. For more information on this event check out my blog Lacy Underthings on Monday the 10th and I will have a post up.
Hugs and kisses,
Lacy.
I am under major deadline pressure. I have a book due on March 1st. I also have my next book releasing this month. on Feb 26th. Animal Lust.
I have received some wonderful reviews for this book.
RT. gives Animal Lust 4.5 stars... and says...This fantastic novel keeps the reader engrossed. You'll turn page after page and not be able to put it down! Each story of the cursed Ursus brothers starts off with a bang, thanks to amazing characters, and readers will feel as if they are in Regency England. Danes is a rising talent.
Coffee Time Romance gives Animal Lust 4 cups and says... Animal Lust is not only, four steamy hot stories, about four well-developed brothers, and the four women who capture their heart, but it is engaging, wonderfully written, great dialogue, and secondary characters that even pull the reader into the midst of the tales. Lacy Danes crafts a read that is explosive. This great read entertains as the characters still linger with the reader long after the story if finished. It comes highly recommended.
Animal Lust is about 4 brothers who are descendent from a Viking clan and live in Regency England.
The first story in this book, Martian's story, the opening scene came to me in a dream.... the sniffing at the door.
The other stories just came one after the other after that. I really enjoyed writing this book... I mean who can resist Bear men?
Dreams are amazing things... some say they are your subconscious flushing bits of information you no longer need (when you have crazy weird dreams that make no sense) or that your subconscious is working on a problem you are having... but have you ever had a dream come true? I have and it is kind of freaky when it happens.
So I guess my question is... do you remember your dreams? and have you ever had any of them come true?

Hi All this post will be short as I have a deadline looming and I need to write.
Okay deep breath.
The story that I am currently working on is based on Viking folklore for the Bear and the word Berserk. 
I am really quite excited about the book, it is a paranormal historical set mainly in Regency England, one story is in Scandinavia. The book is about four brothers in a family, who is part of a subspecies of humans called Ursus.
Ursus are human only more…
The book my editor is calling ANIMAL LUST. LoL
I get a lot of my story ideas from reading history books. This one was no different really, though I did most of my research for this book after I had written the first scene, which actually is the third scene in the first story, The Love Of Ursus. (That scene came to me in a dream while I was writing Lusts Vow, the first story in WHAT SHE CRAVES.)
I have three of the four novella’s in this book written, and two of them edited. I have three weeks to write a novella and edit the last two. I have taken time off work and I am buckling down to write like mad!
My question is... Does it bother you when writers mix genres? Regency set historical erotic romance, mixed with paranormal, etc.
Off to write! See you all in June.
Hugs and Kisses,
Lacy.
