Settling into the redesigned website. . .

Posted on March 12, 2008 by WMaster41DaraJoy* Posted in FanSpeak .

is like getting reacquainted with a room after you have remodeled. You love the updated features; but it takes a while to find your favorite chair. As many of you have noticed, we are playing around with ideas (yours and ours), trying to find the best fit. Thanks to everyone for the feedback; please keep it coming. We’ve added more functionality to the blog- you can now respond to each others posts as well as mine. You can even add an emoticon to puntuate your heartfelt sentiments! Consequently, we’ve taken down the php board for now (I think it may be redundate and I have never liked that format anywho).

Thanks to everyone who submitted the captions to the cat attack picture. Hillarious. This seemed to be popular so we will be on the lookout for some fun pics to caption.

I would also like to invite anyone who wants to guest blog to submit their entries to Cory at qask89@prodigy.net. We would especially love to hear from writers and readers about writing, the industry- whatever topic you wish to discuss. (Please note we do not have any desire whatsoever to be a negative website; we are looking for intelligent discussion- not slamming and snark.) Guest blogs will be posted periodically.



“Have you ever blogged, Dr. Hackenbush?”
“Only when no one’s watching.”

A long time friend and all around super bookseller, Rosemary from Rosemary’s Books in Australia has sent us a lovely review for DEATH BY PLOOT PLOOT:

“At long last the Matrix of Destiny is back. DEATH BY PLOOT PLOOT updates the series and it’s like catching up with dearly missed old friends as the characters have not changed and ring true. I so enjoyed this story as it bridges or transitions between the past and the future books. This is vintage Dara Joy and I smiled and laughed whilst reading as the dialogue is funny and quirky and I felt really good about the story.
Welcome back, Knights of the Charl.”


Thanks, Rosemary! (You can check out Rosemary’s incredible store at Rosemary’s Romance Books).


Cory has posted a page of reviews on DEATH BY PLOOT PLOOT from readers and reviewers here. If you would like to add yours to the page, send it to Cory at QASK89@prodigy.net.

Well, it’s back to writing for me!

Love,
Dara

    I have so missed your new works. Mine to take was the last I was able to purchase. I have gone through several years of really life altering events. I just ordered Death by Floot Floot. I am so looking forward to the soul healing that you always give me when I enter your world. You Rule. Woman, keep up the great work. Chris

    Someone gave me one of the “Matrix” books and after reading it, I scoured Ebay and Books-A-Million and immediately bought all your books I could find!! You have a new faithful fan.

    LOVED them all.

    i also wish to know if dara is going to bring her books to ebook format for my palm tx. i have had to make some hard choices on who to keep in book format and who not to. she will be one of them. but when you go on vacation you just can’t take a suitcase full of books and books downloaded on to my palm tx are handy. just the matter of deciding who you want to read that day!

    very glad that dara is back! and looking forward to the next adventures of rejar, lorgin and traed! poor yaniff and bojo!

    To Dara, I have many authors I enjoy reading.You are by far my favorite. I have given my family and friends your novels to read(with the promise that they return them) :) They now can’t wait for the next “Dara” novel to come out. I have turned on other romance novel readers to your novels at bookstores where I shop. You are a unique writer. Definitely one of a kind! Glad your nightmarish suit is over. Please hurry and publish the MOD series and keep them coming! I read them to fast. Once I start reading I can’t put it down. Welcome back, Wish you both the best!

    Cubby :)

    Yes, I am a die hard fan of the Matrix of Destiny. Love REJAR and MINE TO TAKE as well as RITUAL OF PROOF. Is there going to be any more books to the same matriarchal world?

    Can’t wait to start reading!
