Any Day Now...

2009-11-05T15:49:00.000-08:00

(I stole this idea from my dear friend Lilli Feisty. I am sure she won’t mind…Here is my Any Day Now…)

Any Day Now...

I will change the patterns that seem to circle in my life for the better.
I will learn the lessons I am meant to learn.
I will take the dog for a walk longer than around the block.
My kids laughter will fill every room.
I will be 36… again.
I will stare up at the moon and feel powerful.
I will go to yoga or belly dance.
I will feel the beat of horse hooves pound under me as I gallop through a field.
My kids will put their toys away.
My stairs project will be complete.
I will have lunch with my girlfriends.
I will love a partner without protective boundaries.
I will take a trip to Portland and have hot coco with a dear friend.
I will start saving for a trip to London. (I have never been)
I’ll stop procrastinating and make my dreams happen.
I’ll finish the story I have been writing.
I will laugh so hard I pee.
I will learn to organize.
My promised trip to see my parents will be real.
I will tickle someone until tears rundown their face from laughter.
I’ll spontaneously go… somewhere…anywhere.
My worry that I am not good enough will go away.
I’ll lose 5 lbs.
My debt will be paid off.
My daughter will eat fish.
My son will ride his bike without training wheels.
My gut and heart will tell me what to do instead of my head.
I will write my best work.
Trust will be second nature for me again.
I will stop fearing a leap of faith.
I will simply be me.

Hugs and Kisses,
Lacy.

Fix You

2009-09-25T10:53:00.000-07:00

Fix you... by ColdPlay.

This song struck something in me today. I think it calles to a part of me that was once hurt and tried so hard to make it better...to fix...to move on happy.

I hope you enjoy.

Hugs,
Lacy.
~~~~~~~
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I...

Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face

And I...Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Decision made...

2009-08-13T21:38:00.000-07:00

So I decided to go with the lava. I was told by the maker that if I didn't like them once I had them here I could exchange them for any of the other colors with out any issues. Huge Grin. Thank you all so much for helping me pick out the color combination. They should be here in 8-10 days. When I have them installed I will take more photos and post them for you to see.

Oh and the winner of one of my books pulled by random number from a hat is...

Sasha White.

Sasha, let me know which of my books you would like and I will ship it off to you. Grin. How cool that my writing sexy mentor and teacher wins one of my books!!!

Hugs to you all,

Lacy.

I need your help...

2009-08-05T13:42:00.000-07:00

with a remodeling quandary.

This summer I took on the task of redoing my stairs. There are some local internal HOA rules that I have to abide by, so in doing my stairs I learned that my treads needed to be carpeted! So no hardwood for me.

I am still in the middle of completing the tiles on the risers and then doing the wall moldings.

I found these lovely carpet treads for the steps and I am having a hard time in deciding whether to keep things neutral or to liven things up a bit.

The walls around the steps are a light tan color called latte, but the room they ajoin as well as the entry are red. As you can see here...

So which would you go with...

Mineral

Lava

Red Winks

Of course please tell me if you don't like any of them at all!

Post your opinion by end of day on Friday the 7th of August and I will draw one name to win the book of your choice.

Thanks for your help.

Hugs and Kisses,
Lacy.

Take Me!

2009-08-03T22:06:00.000-07:00

Hey all,
Sorry it has been awhile since I wrote. I have had a busy summer so far and having the kids with me each day is exciting, fun, and exhausting. I am here today to pimp an fantastic book written by a very dear friend of mine Shelli Stevens. Her first book with the Kensington Aphrodisia line is a fast paced read that will leave you breathless and panting for more...

Check out this excerpt from TAKE ME!

After years as a slave to the pleasures of the powerful, Talia knows how to make a man mad with lust. But her pleasure counts for nothing—until a handsome, ruthless stranger appears. Ryder dares to look at her… to touch her… to awake in her a desire she’s never imagined. When he kidnaps her to learn her secrets, Talia vows not to let her passion take control. But soon she discovers that her captor’s intense gaze and searching hands can perform their own kind of interrogation, a sweet torture she finds impossible to resist…

Excerpt (18+ only please!)

“Don’t call me Talia,” she muttered, attempting to pull away but his grip simply tightened.

“In the corridor you told me that was your name.”

Her laugh rose to semi hysterical. “In the corridor I was out of my mind.”

“Perhaps you were in the state of mind you have always deserved to be in.”

What did he mean? And yes. The accent was gone, and his words were more formal now than that bizarre slang he’d been speaking to the Council with.

They arrived outside her chamber and she turned to him, her brows drawn together in a frown. When she hesitated to open the door, he grabbed her hand and placed it on the palm recognition security box. A few men passed by them in the corridor casting curious glances their way.

The door slid open and he pushed her inside.

She stumbled to the middle of the chamber, swinging around to face him. Her breasts rose and fell beneath the fabric. “You need to explain.”

A predatory smile crossed his face and he reached for the tie around his neck. “I don’t need to explain anything, princess.”

Hi s voice was cold, not even a trace of the accent. Who was he? A shiver ran down her spine and she took a few steps backwards.

He pulled off his suit jacket and dropped it to the floor. “Take off your dress.”

Her pulse slowed and then accelerated right back up into double time. The heat that spread throughout her brought a flush to her body.

She ran her tongue across her lips. “No. I will not.”

“Agreeable indeed.” He raised an eyebrow. “All right. If you will not remove it, then I will do so for you.”

He lunged and her scream reverberated through the chamber. Her dress ripped as he caught the hem and jerked.

“No!” She twisted away, causing the dress to split halfway up her hip.

He jerked hard on the fabric he held in his fist, catching her off balance and sending her sprawling to the floor.

“Barbarian!” she screamed trying to scurry away.

He fell to his knees and straddled her, grabbing her wrists in one hand and forcing them above her head. With his other hand free, he grabbed
the bodice of her dress and ripped hard. Her breasts spilled free and she closed her eyes with a groan.

The room went quiet, with only the sounds of their ragged breathing to break the silence.

“By gods, Talia,” he rasped. “You’re more beautiful than I imagined.”

She shook her head and tugged at her wrists. She tried to hold onto the anger inside her, but there was a more dominant emotion fighting to
take hold. Hot fire spread through her body, locking the breath in her throat and hardening her nipples.

“Oh gods. This makes no sense,” she confessed huskily. “I should not want this.”

His eyes darkened. “But you do.” The calloused pad of his thumb smoothed over one nipple and she gasped, heat moving between her legs.

“You do, princess.”

He lowered his head and nuzzled her throat, kissed the pulse that beat there before sliding up toward her ear. His palm, wide and rough, cupped her breast. He caught her earlobe between his teeth and bit gentl y.

Talia’s hips arched off the floor, a guttural cry escaping past her lips. It was back, this strange heat and almost drunken state of arousal she got when he got near her.

He rolled her nipple between his finger and thumb. Another tremble rocked through her body and hot cream gathered in her pussy.

“I can smell your desire for me.” His fingers moved between her legs and rubbed lightly between the folds—the sensation so intense the muscles of her cunt clenched. “Unfortunately, fucking you will have to wait.”

“I…I don’t understand.” She squirmed, desperate with the need for him to press his fingers inside her. “Alan…please.”

His lips moved against her ear, his words just a whisper. “My name’s not Alan.”

The odd response brought her up from the thick depths of desire. “W-what?”

His hand moved away from her pussy and slid over to wrap around her right thigh. His expression turned somber, hard. “I’m sorry, princess.”

She saw the flash of the needle, just before it swung down and jabbed painfully into her thigh.

“No!” She struggled again, panic slicing through the fog of desire, but it was too late. Her flesh burned from whatever he was injecting into her.

Oh Gods! What had he just done? She struggled harder, managing to free one wrist because of the terror—induced adrenaline.

“Hold still.” He recaptured her wrist and held her down, kissing the tears that rolled down her cheek. “Just relax.”

She shook her head, but the movement made her dizzy. The lights above her head left tracers. Opening her mouth to speak, she found her tongue thick and the words stuck in her throat. Why? Why had he done it?

“That’s it, princess. Close your eyes,” he whispered and smoothed his thumb over her lips.

Her eyelids grew heavy, too heavy, and finally she closed them, almost certain she would never wake up.

Cooper The Puppy!!!

2009-06-19T14:32:00.000-07:00

Puppy ownership has been filled with laughter and love during this past month here are some of coopers funny moments…

My daughter picks him up and puts him in a box, places another box in front of his and sits in it herself… she says “Look mom we are on a train.” Cooper stayed in the box happily chugging along until she took him out.

A fly few into the house from the porch. Cooper jumped up from his sleeping spot on the couch, tilted his head to the side, barked at it like it was the intruder it was, and chased it back outside.

Cooper starts barking at something in my bedroom….I go to investigate… he has found my vibe and some how turned it on. He is standing above it barking.

I have now started growling at my kids when they do something wrong.?.? puppy training taken in reverse.

Cooper loves my neighbor and when ever possible will sneak in their door to get his head scratched. Luckily my neighbor adores him too.

Cooper barks at one of my neighbors no matter what he is doing or how far away he is… Does Cooper know something I don’t about this man?

Cooper loves to hop into the bath when I am taking one. He also adores the blow dryer.

Copper has a fondness for picking up anything of my daughters and carrying it around with him when she is not here…. We have only had one casualty… poor ooh ooh… he lost an eye.

Cooper hates to go out in the rain to pee… he has resorted to going outside standing under the covered area and peeing on the side of the walk way. When I go out further into the rain and call him, he looks at me like I am nuts, turns around and runs back inside.

Anyway… I am sure there will be more puppy adventures to come!

Hugs,
Lacy.

One of those moments...

2009-05-18T08:34:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I had one of those moments...

It was an amazing sunny weekend here (yes we do get sun in Seattle). My kids and I spent both Saturday and Sunday out in the sun playing ball, riding bikes, drawing with chalk on the sidewalk, cooper the puppy hanging out along side us.

Sunday afternoon after the heat had peaked and we had come inside to cool off, get a late lunch, and watch a little TV, I sat on the couch, the dog cooper tucked up next to me out cold. My son came up and cuddled on the other side, my daughter came and sat on my lap leaning back with her head tucked under my chin. We sat there all four of us watching zoombafoo.

I realized quite suddenly, I was in that moment totally and completely content and happy. Just realizing this in normal times is amazing, but with all the job layoff stress I have been going through it brought tears to my eyes. Tears of joy.

Huge grin.

I just had to share.

Hugs and Kisses,
Lacy.

A Busy Good Few Weeks

2009-05-06T08:00:00.000-07:00

The last few weeks have been filled with lots of good things. My mom came out for a visit, I got a new puppy, I went to SEAF and I sold my short story Decent Exposure to Harlequin for their SPICE BREIFS line.

I love when my mom is here. Living so far from family I sometimes forget what it is like to have someone there to lean on. My mom and dad are wonderful sweet people and I just love when they come to visit. We spent most of the time with my kids and playing with the new puppy, but on the last night it was just me and mom. We went out to the local pub and had a beer and sat and talked about investments and life and other stuff. It was such an amazing time.

While my mom was here I attended SEAF. The photo of me is from that night. I love this event. The people watching is what inspires me the most. couples, singles, groups and friends, kinky, vanilla, straight, bi, gay, old and young and any other orientation all together to celebrate erotic. The burlesque was amazing to watch.

The most wonderful news though was that I sold my short story DECENT EXPOSURE to Harlequin. I love writing for this line and seeing the first short I wrote for them just came out in print in NAUGHTY BITS as the first story in the book I am simply delighted to be still writing for them... I wonder what my cover will be like for this one. Here is the PublishersMarketPlace blurb for this sale.

Lacy Danes's DECENT EXPOSURE, involving a woman's and man's first in-person encounter into dominance and submission after meeting and playing online, to Susan Pezzack-Swinwood at Harlequin Spice Briefs, by Roberta Brown of the Brown Literary Agency.

Grin.

Hugs and Kisses,
Lacy.
PS. My new puppy is named Cooper (my kids named him after my car). He is 15 weeks old and a Havana Silk Dog.

Home sick putting together my play list...

2009-04-17T17:49:00.000-07:00

I am home sick today and have been working on my play list for the story I am currently working on. I came across this song. The lyrics are truly beautiful poetry. I thought I would share them and the song.

~~
Strange how you know inside me
I measure the time and I stand amazed
Strange how I know inside you
My hand is outstretched toward the damp of the haze

And of course I forgive
I've seen how you live
Like a phoenix you rise from the ashes
You pick up the pieces
And the ghosts in the attic
They never quite leave
And of course I forgive
You've seen how I live
I've got darkness and fears to appease
My voices and analogies
Ambitions like ribbons
Worn bright on my sleeve

Strange how we know each other

Strange how I fit into you
There's a distance erased with the greatest of ease
Strange how you fit into me
A gentle warmth filling the deepest of needs

And with each passing day
The stories we say
Draw us tighter into our addiction
Confirm our conviction
That some kind of miracle
Passed on our heads
And how I am sure
Like never before
Of my reasons for defying reason
Embracing the seasons
We dance through the colors
Both followed and led

Strange how we fit each other

Strange how certain the journey
Time unfolds the petals
For our eyes to see
Strange how this journey's hurting
In ways we accept as part of fate's decree

So we just hold on fast
Acknowledge the past
As lessons exquisitely crafted
Painstakingly drafted
To carve ourselves instruments
That play the music of life
For we don't realize
Our faith in the prize
Unless it's been somehow elusive
How swiftly we choose it
The sacred simplicity
Of you at my side

~~~
I hope you enjoyed.
Lacy.

Happy Friday And A Pimp.

2009-04-03T20:26:00.000-07:00

Happy Friday evening everyone! Today started out cold and snowy here in Seattle, but by the end of the day it was sunny and warming. My kids have been on spring break all this week, and because of the icky weather I decided to take them and get out of the house. We are on a short trip, a stay in a hotel for a night, go to dinner out, and then go for a hike tomorrow morning. Tomorrow we may also hook up with my friend Shelli Stevens and her daughter.

On that note... Shelli has a new short story out that is so HOT you have to read it! Heres the deal.

When there’s a tiger—and a lion—on your tail, there’s no escape…

Delilah is strong, independent—and a princess on the run. Her father, King of the Falcon kingdom, wants to unite her with Pierce, Prince of the Tiger kingdom, and Jason, Prince of the Lions. Never can she imagine giving herself to one man if there is no love—let alone two! So she flees her home in hopes of avoiding the union.

Delilah may be dead-set against the plan, but Jason and Pierce have no doubts. She is the one they want to complete their triad, to be their mate. She alone has the power to form the bond that will, in turn, join all their kingdoms in peace.

They’re prepared to use every means of pleasure to convince her they are all destined to be together. But first they have to catch her…

Product Warnings: This book is hot! Hot! Hot! Threesomes, m/m, and capture fantasies, oh my!

Available to purchase here.

Go get it! You won't be disappointed!

Hugs and Kisses to you,
Lacy.

Two New Reviews!

2009-03-31T09:38:00.000-07:00

Being Wicked has received some fantastic reviews in the last two days!

Fallen Angel Reviews~ Gives Being wicked 5 angels and a Recommended Read!!!

Being Wicked was wickedly entertaining. I loved the two stories, and they overlapped at the best moments. All of the characters were very intense, passionate, and relatable... something very key for me, when reading a romance of any genre. Ms. Danes is an awesome example for erotica writers everywhere... even though she is relatively new, she is already making a name for herself. I believe it is because she always has a plot that captivates, strong chemistry between her characters, and love scenes that burn up the pages, among other things. I have read all Ms. Danes' novels to date and have found them all extremely entertaining. I look forward to reading her next masterpiece.

A Giveaway!

2009-03-16T10:44:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the late post. I know this was supposed to go up yesterday but life got in the way.

On March 22nd at 9PM PST I will pull a name from the comments below.
The lucky winner will receive:
A Signed Copy of *MISTRESS OF PLEASURE* by Delilah Marvelle (My dear friend and brainstorming buddy.)
A Signed Copy of *BEING WICKED*
A Signed Copy of *A RED HOT VALENTINE'S DAY*
A Signed Copy of *NAUGHTY BITS*
As well as a bag of Salted Caramels from the wonderful store Cacao
(a small chocolate shop in Portland... they serve wonderful hot
drinking chocolate spiced with cinnamon too. Stop by if you are in
town for that fantastic treat!)
And a Jimmy Jane LITTLE EMBER SET

I am currently working on a historical erotic set in the mid 19th century Cornwall England. I am having a tough time finding a name for my heroine that I feel truly fits her. Currently I am calling her Rachel.

Rachel has deep brown hair and hazel eyes that change color depending on what she wears. She is the daughter of a coachman, and a housekeeper. Her last name is Grey. Her personality is open, loving, and curious. She is following in her parent’s footsteps and longs to find for herself the deep committed love her parents share. She has a fear of small spaces, and a love for anything pink including a pair of deep pink boots she received as a hand me down gift from the daughter of her parents employer.

Other ideas I have had for her name are Alice, Elizabeth, Charlotte.
Please reply to this post with an idea for my heroine’s name. It can be one of the above... or something you think up!

Best of luck to you!
Hugs and kisses,
Lacy.

A very busy week!

2009-02-18T18:44:00.000-08:00

This past week was very busy. Between the 7th of February and the 14th I had three book signings and one radio show. I also had my kids because my X was out of town.

The signings were a blast. Below are some of my favorite shots from them.

As you can see I kept the pink and the cream dresses. Thanks again to all of you that offered your opinions to me about them. They helped greatly.

After all that I was exhausted and needed some fun down time. On sunday I decided to take the kids on an in city vacation and rented a room down town so the kids could swim and we could explore the city like tourists.

The time at the Westin in Seattle was good. I have to admit I thought the room was a bit expensive for what you got and the heavenly bed... not so heavenly. My hips hurt after two nights on that thing! The kids and I did have a blast in the pool and walking around Pioneer Square. We even celebrated someone very special to me's birthday one of the days which was topped off with an amazing kid and adult friendly meal at Assaggio. Man I love Champagne! The food and company was perfect too.

It was a very nice time away/not away in the heart of the city... Next year though I think we shall be Disneyland bound!!!

Hope you are all well!
Hugs and Kisses,
Lacy.

This morning I awoke feeling quite groggy. I decided I needed to get moving and quick. In honor of this help me wake up and shake it day. I though I would post the songs that got me moving.
Here are my top five:
Lilli Allen ~ Alfie

Peter Bjorn and John~ The Chills

David Byrne~UB Jeasus

Amy Winehouse~ you know I'm no good.

The Bastard Fairies~ Venomous Tale

Hope they got you up and shaking it today too!

Joanne...

from this post.

>>>Like the lacy song sleeved dress as it suggests a naughty but nice attitude. With sling pumps and a simple locket or cameo you'd be stunning.

LUV the pink dress as it's timeless and be worn day or night. With your coloring you'd turn heads. Men would take note while women would wish they were you!
