Yikes! I just hit PUBLISH by mistake on my vampire story for Halloween!! Sorree! Ignore!
Hello all!
It seems everyone is publishing a new book at the moment and everyone wants to tell us about it.
Today I welcome multi-published author Anya Richards to my blog as part of her blog tour presented by Romance Book Haven.
Thank you so much for inviting me to be here today,
Denise!
For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Anya
Richards, author of a wide variety of erotic romance and erotica titles, some
under my other penname, Anya Delvay. In my catalogue you’ll find contemporary,
historical, paranormal/fantasy and M/M titles… I go wherever the muse leads me,
because I’m easy that way *grin*!
A transplant, I’m very thankful for the wide
experiences life has given me, since they’re all used as fodder for my books.
Originally from the Caribbean, I’ve traveled a fair amount and now live in
Canada. After a slew of jobs, from vet assistant to jewelry sales, I’ve settled
into the role of part time law clerk and author, with the author job definitely
taking precedence, especially in my heart.
I look for inspiration wherever I can find it. I
love nature and am incredibly curious about pretty much everything, especially
what makes people tick. Really and truly, that’s what lies at the very heart of
every good book, movie, story—no matter how many explosions there are, how many
murders, or bouts of sex, or car chases, if we don’t sort of understand and
feel for the characters, it all falls flat. A good book really doesn’t need a
lot of fluff if it has soul!
My usual modus operandi when I want to write is to
chase everyone away and turn on some music. Of course my cats think that’s the
perfect time to want affection, and I’m such a sucker I can’t chase them away,
so I’ve become a competent one-handed typist. When I first started writing I
needed silence, but now prefer music or something I can sort of ignore on the
TV in the background. I wish I could say I can write anywhere, but I’ve learned
I can’t write love scenes when I’m in public… even when I know no one can see
the computer screen!
Writing quite simply completes me. It’s both a
journey I’m compelled to take and a release from life’s stress. It allows me to
live out some fantasies and is a way to get the characters to stop bugging the
heck out of me by telling their stories. Writing is also a way for me to try to
make sense of the world, and give sad stories a happy ending. And I think
that’s something we all need to see regularly…
Bellissima
Blurb:
Jane Rollins is anything but plain, but to keep her
position as housekeeper to a wealthy family, she is content to hide her beauty
behind a dull façade. This deception has become second-nature to her—until
dance master Sergio Fontini waltzes into her life.
While the other inhabitants of the house see him as
a foreigner and beneath their notice, Jane sees strength, barely leashed power,
and an aura of iron control—an irresistible, arousing combination.
Sergio sees through Jane’s disguise to the woman
beneath, and the desires in her veiled gaze call to him like the utterly
irresistible strains of a beautiful symphony. The circumstances couldn’t be
worse, for seducing her will endanger both their livelihoods.
Yet there are lessons he cannot resist teaching her,
steps of a dance that crescendos to her final surrender…
