Excerpt

“Landry, honey, are you hurt? Landry, look at me.” Jack reached over and pulled her up by her shoulders. Once she was standing, he wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly. He could feel her shaking and she buried her head into his chest. They stood there like that for several minutes until her tremors subsided then she straightened up and pulled herself out of his arms. “Are you hurt?” he asked again, lifting her chin with his finger so that he could look at her. An angry knot twisted in his stomach when he saw the dark mark on her face. Her cheeks were wet and streaked from the tears that had fallen and he couldn’t resist the temptation to wipe them away. He slowly brushed his thumb across her cheek, first one side then the other and heard her soft intake of breath. In the dim lamplight, he saw her eyes widen as he lowered his mouth to hers and kissed her. It was a soft kiss, the merest brushing of his lips on hers but it was enough to make him instantly hard. He pulled away and took a step back, trying to get himself under control. After what she had just been through, he didn’t think it was entirely appropriate to take her to bed, which is what he wanted to do in the worst way. No woman had ever had this effect on him before. He had known Landry for over two years. How had he never noticed her before?

~Interview with Ms. Raymond~

Do you suffer from sleepwalking?

I did when I was a little kid.  Now I suffer from sleep writing!

What's your bad quality?

I repeat myself a lot.  I repeat myself a lot.

Do you speak with your dog?

All of the time.  He doesn’t listen to me any better than my husband does. 

If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

You’ve succeeded.  I think that the only time you can fail is if you don’t try at all.

Describe yourself; what do you think about yourself and do you think people perceive you in the same way?

I like to be by myself; I am not very outgoing and I’m not comfortable in crowds.  I don’t think that other people see me that way though because I tend to push beyond my comfort zone and do things that people don’t expect.

What do you do when you feel very sad or depressed?

I usually give in to it for just one day.  Instead of trying to fight it, I let the emotions flow through me and then the next day, I usually feel better.

What makes you angry? Are you short-tempered? How do you overcome your anger?

I get angry when I see other people being taken advantage of.  It is in my nature to want to stick up for people (I think because no one ever stuck up for me).  I have a short temper but a long fuse.  It takes a lot to make me mad but once I am, look out!  I can get over my anger pretty quickly if I can talk about it.  Once I can verbalize it, it tends to dissipate pretty rapidly.

What is your idea of fun?

Doing whatever I feel like without having to worry about the consequences.  Like shopping without worrying that I am spending too much.

Which is your favorite time of the day?

Just before dawn.

Are you a morning person or a night person?

I am definitely a morning person.  I would rather get up at three in the morning to get something completed than stay up until eleven at night.

What is your favorite color of socks to wear?

Any, as long as my feet are warm   (I do however, LOVE aloe infused socks!)
