The Dantes by Day Leclaire

Excerpt from The Dantes

Her hands slid upward to grip the broad width of his shoulders. She could feel the barely leashed power of him rippling beneath her palms, could sense how tightly he held himself in check. And she found that she wanted to unleash that power and break through those protective safeguards. What would his embrace be like if he weren’t holding back? The mere thought had her moaning in anticipation.

He must have heard the small sound because he tensed. A compelling combination of desire and determination poured off him. His kiss deepened as he shifted from enticement to an unmistakable taking. He wanted her, and he expressed that want with each escalating kiss. If they’d been anywhere else, she’d have done something outside her realm of expertise. She’d have surrendered to his seduction and given herself to him right then and there.

She’d never experienced anything that felt so right, not in all her twenty-six years. How could she have doubted? How could she have questioned being with this man? She belonged here in his arms and nowhere else. She wanted what only he could offer. More, she wanted to give him just as much in return. As though sensing the crumbling of her defenses, he lifted his head and stared down at her with dark, compelling eyes.

“Come with me,” he insisted, and held out his hand. “Take the chance, Francesca.”

How could she refuse him? Without another word of protest, she linked her fingers with his.

Interview with Day Leclaire

Q: What is a typical writing day like for you? What inspires you?

DL: I get up and get the kids ready for their day. Put on a giant pot of coffee and find a spot to settle on the back porch if the weather is nice. Once I’ve got my cup in hand, I sit down and review what I wrote the day before and plan where I’m heading with today’s writing. Then I get down to it. Writing is equal parts comedy and tragedy, so my inspiration follows suit.

Normal day-to-day events inspire me, and I think that’s actually what makes writing fun. For example, I recently wrote a newsletter about the lie of applesauce. Who would think that replacing oil in a sweet recipe with applesauce would be such a hotly debated topic? Further, who would think that debate was applicable in contemporary romance?  But, it most certainly is! A well-written story leaves you feeling full of hope, happiness, and even occasionally a bit of grief that the tale is complete.

If the writer put a sneaky filler in the recipe of their writing, would you feel as full or satisfied with the emotional catharsis you were hoping to gain from reading? I don’t think so. As a result, I have promised my readers that our romances will always be full fat, full flavor, and, most importantly, full of emotion. Inspiration can come where you least expect it, even over a recipe change!

Q: How many bookshelves are in your house?

DL: I can’t count that high, friend. Don’t make me do the math.

Q: How do you handle writer’s block?

DL: Talk, talk, talk. I play the “what if” game with my characters. No question is off limits. What if he wrecked his car into a bridge? What if she says no? And what if there’s a secret baby? No! What if she wrecks his car into the bridge while carrying the secret baby after he said no?! You’ll never know how many heroes have been saved from the brutality of my imagination with this process. ?

Q: Any advice for new writers?

DL: Don’t stop trying! Keep working at your craft. Take classes to learn how to become a stronger writer and business-person. Let others read your work and help you learn how to refine it. Be kind to yourself, and never, ever give up. You have something the world needs! Your brilliant, beautiful imagination!

Q: What is your ideal writing space?

DL: Currently, I am in love with sitting on the screened-in back porch. The wind filters through the trees and sings a lovely rustling song to me while I write. When I get stumped for the right words, I take a break and go look at the tiny goldfish pond in our backyard. It’s the size of a kiddie swimming pool, but it is so calming to look at. By the time I’m done watching the streaks of gold and white zip around the water, I’m usually in a much better head space to tackle that tough scene that stumped me.

Q: What is your favorite part of being a published author?

DL: The thing that makes me smile most is when people say that they’ve read something I’ve written and that it touched their heart. The stories I’ve written as Day Leclaire are meant to give the reader a wonderful escape for a little while. Sometimes, that escape ends up leaving a permanent mark on them, and that’s pretty amazing.

This Or That Questions:

Coffee or Tea?  Coffee…with just the right amount of French Vanilla in it, and a splash of collagen peptides to encourage the 90’s to give me back my eyebrows.

Morning or Night? Ooh, trick question. When it comes to writing, whenever the mood strikes. The story must get on paper, regardless of time of day, when you’re hit with inspiration. Everything else? Nighttime, please! There’s nothing like a quiet house when you’re working on a project.

Print or Ebook? Ebook…no one needs to see just how many stories I’m devouring at any given time. Besides that, I don’t have to get fancy about hiding my covers if the story is *REALLY* good. ?

Spiders or Snakes? If I’ve got to deal with them, I guess spiders, but you’ve really given me a gnarly set of options. I think I’d rather have a cat instead. He’ll eat the spider and take the snake away. I’ll name him George…the cat, not the spider.

Summer or Winter? Summer! Warm wind carried on foam topped waves at the beach, singing cicadas, lightning bugs in the evening, and fresh watermelon…heaven!

Haunted Mansion or Un-haunted Shack? Haunted mansion, hands down. It isn’t the space so much as the horrifying stories I’d be able to cook up as a result. Now, that said, if it’s a haunted mansion filled with ghosts complaining about the dry cleaning they forgot to pick up before they departed for the big mansion in the sky, I’d take the un-haunted shack in a heartbeat. I have enough to worry about without getting a ghostly honey-do list from non-rent paying house guests.
