It's been fun...

Anna, thank you again for inviting me to be a guest on your blog. It's been fun and I've met some wonderful people.

I'd like to remind the readers that I am still awaiting interesting contest ideas and suggestions for my Tricks or Treats Blog Contest in honor of Halloween.

The idea I pick to use will win someone a free download of my newest release, Curse of the Marhime. No worries that I won't be here tomorrow. I am always available at my blog, so you can post ideas there or shoot me an email. All my contact information is availble on both my website and blog. I'll keep an eye out for suggestions through September 15th, at which time I will decide the suggestion I like the best and choose a winner. To register and list an idea please visit my blog or email me placing "Tricks or Treats Contest ideas" in the Subject line.

Thank you all for taking the time to join me here today, comment, and share a piece of yourselves with me. And good luck to you. May one of you win the drawing for the $15 gift certificate for Barnes & Noble that Anna is offering at the end of the month.

October with Dayana

Hi! I'm back!

Home for lunch. Thought I'd drop in and see what's going on here. Gypsy is happily eating her lunch and will soon be lounging upon her own personal ottoman in the livingroom gazing out the front picture window keeping an ever vigilant eye on the neighborhood.

I am tossing a sandwich together, grabbing the chips, and a diet coke with lime thinking about what I would like to do on my website and blog to celebrate Halloween. Do any of you have any neat Trick or Treat ideas for a fun Samhain/Halloween contest? How about something like a scavenger hunt for ghoulish icons scattered about my sites? Or maybe a wolf trivia quiz? Maybe a get to know the local vampire quiz? You would have to read through the sites to find this one, LOL

Here's an idea. Why don't I let you guys suggest some interesting contest ideas and the person's idea I like best and choose to go with will win a free download of Curse of the Marhime? Are you game?

Let me know when I check in again after work. That gives you about five hours to think up some really great contest ideas. Hey! I think this will be fun. I hope the afternoon goes by quickly so I can get back here and check out what you guys have come up with.

Alrighty then, gotta get cleaned up and back to work now. I'll be back shortly. Get busy with your contest ideas:)

Who is going to get a free copy of my new release, hmmmm?

Paranormal Romance Author, Dayana Knight

Good Morning!

My name is Dayana Knight.


I want to thank Anna for inviting me here today as a guest on her blog. I am thrilled at this opportunity to introduce myself and my newest release to you.

I am a paranormal romance author who enjoys writing the darker more erotic side of Weres and Vamps.

I'll take a moment to introduce myself:



As you all know, I currently live in South Florida and have always been enthralled with haunted places, old cemeteries, and deep misty forests which I love to explore. I enjoyed watching shows like Dark Shadows(my personal favorite), Night Gallery, and the Twilight Zone.

I love sticking my nose into anything to do with the paranormal, witchcraft, and ghostly matters

hmmm...

Favorite holiday? No brainer. Yep, you've got it. Halloween! I even take a vacation every year during Halloween week. You should see the transformation of my house decor. It's right up there with Christmas! That will begin next weekend.

My favorite authors to lose myself in are earlier Anne Rice(The Vampire Lestat series along wiht The Witching Hour series), and more recent authors such as, J.D. Ward's Black Dagger series, and Laurel K Hamilton's Faery and Vamp/shifter series, just to name a few.

I am very excited about my newest release, Curse of the Marhime, Book One of The Roma Wolf Tales, a new paranormal romance series.

Pita Sedgewick is my unsuspecting heroine in this tale of discovery, deceit, and soul-binding love. What do you do when you discover your life isn’t the simplistic one you’ve always known, and though you knew you were adopted, you suddenly discover that you are a part of an amazing but scary lineage?

Pita realizes just how resilient she is when she finds herself alone in Romania, tracking her heritage and bloodline. Will she survive the knowledge of what is hidden there.


Why not check out Curse of the Marhime for yourself? Now available at The Wild Rose Press (http://www.thewildrosepress.com/)

Let's see what else can I mention here? Well, I am a devoted animal lover and proud mom of a Shetland Sheep dog, Gypsy Lee, who enjoyed the limelight in Dog Fancy magazine, August 2003 with mom and starred as herself in a perspective view article titled, "Crate Beginnings."


Orchids, roses, playing in the dirt are additional loves and means of relaxation to me. I also keep three freshwater aquariums. A 75 gallon with a huge 17 inch plecotamus who is now on his third tank and started out 2 1/2 inches long, 45 gallon with fancy gold fish and a couple more plecos normal size:) -- that would be a small couple of inches, and a 1o gallon adopted from a neighbor who moved with one small tetra and two new cories which are small catfish.

I work full time as an Orthopedic Assistant/Xray Technician at a very busy Orthopedic Surgeons practice. And speaking of that, I'm going to have to talk to you all a little later as I do need to go get ready for the day job. Nope, I'm not a full time writer yet. It is my ultimate goal but there does seem to be one small problem...

the mortgage;)


One of these days *sigh*

Anyway, I want to remind you that Anna is having a drawing this month for a $15 Barnes & Noble gift certificate for one lucky commentor. So please have at it and get busy with those comments. I'd love the winner be on my watch. And who knows, I may just toss a question out there some time today for a nifty grab bag prize chock full of goodies and sweets. So stay tuned and I'll be back a little later. Don't hesitate to ask questions or make comments. I'm pretty easy, I'll answer just about anything you toss at me:)

Thank you for listening to my ramblings. I'll be back in a little while. I hope you'll stick around.

Guest Bloggers for September

I'm having a great time with my guest bloggers and am looking forward to a new month of other people doing my blog for me each Monday. I didn't schedule anyone for today, either because I didn't realize the 1st fell on a Monday, or I realized it was a holiday.....I can't say for sure which my excuse is. But that's cool. It'll let me tell you about the four people who will blog for me this month:
