Cassandra sent us a pic of her adorable pups for captioning. We are getting lots of great pics, keep them coming! (We will post all pics in the pet parade under STABLES button, even if they are not used for the caption game)

I’ll start you off this week with my caption:


Hum, that chat sounds like a good idea.

Looking forward to seeing you all in chat on Saturday!

Best,
Cory

A reader, Tee, sent us some pictures of her very adorable animals for our captioning game. The kitten’s name is Tazz and the puppy’s name is Brindle. Brindle is a rotti/wolf mix and Tazz is only 10 weeks old. How could we resist? On that note, I’ll start off the fun with the first caption:




“Mmm, my appetizer has arrived!”

You all did a great job last time- let’s see what you come up with for this playful shot! If anyone would like to submit pictures of their animals for the game we would love to see them. We will pick the photos that have the best potential for the game. All submitted pictures will be posted in the Pet Parade on the STABLES link so all your pets will be the stars they deserve to be! Oops, I got to go back to finishing this novel.

Love,
Dara

Raising a glass of good cheer!

Okay, I’m going to admit it right off the bat.  I don’t know if I am a blog kind of person but I am willing to give this thing a try since so many of you have requested it.  The thing is, I feel as if I am walking into the middle of a one way conversation with myself.  Not that there’s anything wrong with that- it just feels  slightly odd.  (Usually I walk into the end of a two way conversation with myself.)   That being said, the answer is, “I am getting take out Chinese for us tonight.”   So I am curious about you.  How many of you like this format and what is the sexiest thing anyone has ever said to you?  C’mon, spill it. 

 

Oh, and Happy Valentine’s Day. : D

Wonderful news!!!

For those who haven’t heard, yes, Dorchester and I have reached a settlement agreement!!

I want to take this opportunity to thank the thousands upon thousands of readers who sent me their best wishes and letters of support. It was a long and difficult six and a half years and your kind words meant more than I can say. These letters often came on the days I needed them most and I will be forever grateful to all of you for that. It has always been a pleasure to write for you.

Although neither side can discuss the terms of the settlement, I am happily looking forward to bringing you the very best novels I can deliver. Get ready, the stories you have been waiting for will be coming your way soon! Within the next few months, I will have more great news for you concerning the release dates of my upcoming novels, which will be brought to you via traditional publishing channels.

To add to the celebration, I have an special Valentine for my readers. I know so many of you have been waiting really, really patiently for another Matrix story and I do not want you to have to wait any longer . . . so, as of today, I am immediately releasing a brand new Matrix of Destiny story called:

DEATH BY PLOOT PLOOT!

We will be doing this for a limited time only so if you want to receive your copy or would like more information, just go to http://officialdarajoy.com/MarketPlace/marketplace.html

And from the bottom of my heart, thank you again for all your prayers and hugs!

Love Always,

Dara
