Hey all,

I figured I'd post my, ahem, intro from THE BAR over here. Here goes:

My name is Deirdre (Dee) Savoy aka The Lady in Red
My favorite color is (duh) red
My age: if I told you it would defeat the point of posting that lovely (younger me) photo everywhere
My first rejection came from MAD magazine when I was eleven. They sent me a form rejection letter telling me I wasn't funny. (I was so lacking in a sense of humor that I never bought another copy of that mag.)
My drink of choice: banana daiquiri paid for by someone other than me

I started out writing romance in 1999. Graduated to romantic suspense in 2002. Now I'm hoping to do a mystery series once I work out a couple kinks. Also working on a women's fiction title and some fantasy thingie. My thirteenth book, Forbidden Games, will be out in February of next year.

So now, let's hear from you. Add some chatter to the chatterwall. Introduce yourself either here, at THE BAR or both. Okay, who's going to be first?

It's Heeeeere!

I finally got my author copies, and I must admit the book looks good--if I do say so myself. But I walked into my local Barnes and Noble and was disappointed not to find it. So I'm calling on you folks. Do me a favor and let me know if… Continue

Character Assassination

Dumbledore is gay and I'm annoyed as hell. I have to admit I haven't read one page of one Harry Potter book. I've bought 'em all and my kids love them. I've seen some of the movies and even bought the damn DVDs. One year we went to a Harry Potter party with my kids dressed as Hermoine and Harry--complete with capes wand and a pair of busted glasses. Even Mama went in costume though I'd be hard pressed to tell you exactly what I was. I tell you this so you know I don't mind Pottermania, even th… Continue

Try to do a good thing . . .

Don't know why it is, but I didn't notice until now that I have deigned to highlight the WRONG Elaine Viets title. The other one is a reprint that just happens to be coming out this month. Oy!
Anyhoo, here's the title I was supposed to be helping spread the word about: Murder with Reservations.

Now if someone could just tell me how to get… Continue

He was brought up by a single mother, was graduated from college (in three years), was a Koren vet, a musician (played over twenty instruments), a Formula-One race driver, and a pilot, and an A&I.

Best of all, he married me and took on my two children. We would have been married thirty-five years last Thanksgaving, but he died of a heart attack while working in our yard. I have his love letters and recordings of his music.

On romance side, looking forward to my December Kimani release, CHRISTMAS HEAT, writing as Devon Vaughn Archer.

At 11:36am on May 29th, 2007, JANE PADRUTT said…: Hi Dee,
Mind if I join you in a banana daiquiri? We'll probably need a really BIG glass...and a couple of straws...and a couple of lamp shades...but only if the bar allows dancing on the tables. Thanks for befriending me.

Well, I'm more a pint of ale man myself, though I'm partial to a fine, premier-cru Bordeaux if someone else is picking up the tab ... but at the right time, in the right place, with the right person, yes, I can see the allure of something sweet and intoxicating ...

Small world. My mother would have killed me over confession magazines, too. She found a romance comic book once that a friend of mine had given me and ooh boy. ;)

All the best,
Dee
