RW: What’s your story? Why would someone come
up with a story about you?
DS: I’m Darien Scott. Uber famous, multi-Grammy
winner, sexy stud, and rock star. Why would somebody come up with a story about
me? Let me repeat—I’m Darien Scott.
RW: Where
do you live?
DS: I
currently own three residences: a beach house in Wrightsville Beach, North
Carolina, a mansion up near Boone, NC, and a condo in L.A. But being a rock
star means I’m usually on the road somewhere. I’d say I’ve spent more time in
hotels than in my own homes.
RW: How
are you coping with the conflict in your life?
DS: Vodka. I know. I know. Bad habit. But
being on the road so much means I’m not with Erika. Just being with her makes
all my troubles go away. But when I’m in Brazil and she’s in Thailand, that’s
when I shift to vodka.
RW: Bubble baths or steamy showers? Ocean or mountains? Puppies or
kittens? Chocolate or caramel?
DS: This is a fun question. Erika and I have had a couple of hot
times in a steamy shower.
Ocean or the mountain
is a hard to choose. I have a home in both places.
Puppies or kittens—As I
said, I’m always on the road, but I’d love a pack of puppies.
Chocolate or Caramel—warm
liquid chocolate dripping down the flesh of the woman I love. It doesn’t get
any better than that.
RW: If money were not an object, where would you most like to
live?
DS: Money isn’t an object which is why I have three fabulous
places.
RW: What is your secret guilty pleasure?
DS: Vodka shots off the small of Erika’s back.
RW: Cherries or Bananas?
Leather or lace? Black or red? Mud Bath or Oily Massage?
DS: A bowl of cherries and
woman in black lace and a bottle of massage oil. Now that’s a fantasy. Excuse
me; have to text something to Erika.
RW: If you came with a
warning label, what would it say?
DS: Dangerous.
RW: Party life or quiet
dinner for two?
DS: Being a rock star, I’ve done the party
thing. Done it to death. It gets old fast. But I have to maintain the image—sex,
drugs and rock’n roll. But, I prefer a quiet night at home, candlelit dinner
with Erika
RW: I love pizza with (fill
in the blank).
DS: I love pizza with a naked Erika next to
me.
RW: Those
are all the questions I have for you. Thank you for speaking to me.
DS: Thank you. And thanks for not asking the
over-asked question—Briefs? Boxers? Or Commando?
Meet Daryl Devoré
Daryl Devore (@daryldevore)
lives in an old farmhouse in Ontario, Canada, with her husband, a large salt
water aquarium full of fish, a black cat named Licorice, and some house ghosts.
Her daughter is grown and has flown the nest. Daryl loves to take long walks on
her quiet country road or snowshoe across the back acres, and in the summer,
kayak along the St. Lawrence River. She has touched a moon rock, a mammoth, and
a meteorite. She’s been deep in the ocean in a submarine, flown high over
Niagara Falls in a helicopter and used the ladies room in a royal palace. Life’s
an adventure and Daryl’s having fun living it.
DARIEN’S DESIRE
The Plot
You
loved What Happens in Bangkok and
want to know what happens next….
It’s complicated is not only her
relationship status, but the definition of Erika Bailey’s life. She loves
managing her drag queen club in Bangkok, Thailand, but her rock-star boyfriend
resides in North Carolina. And to top it off, her father threatens she must
stay away from Darien or lose the Pink Flamingo. Does she protect her club or
her love?
Darien
Scott, Grammy award-winning international superstar, wants nothing more than to
wake up in the arms of Erika, the woman he loves, but contractual obligations
force him to exotic video shoots and an isolated movie set with one of
Hollywood’s sexiest stars.
With
the feeding frenzy of social media trending every aspect of Darien’s life—real
or not—it’s hard for Erika to know the truth. Will she be able to see through
the lies and trust Darien? Or will evidence from damaging Internet rumors
condemn their relationship?
An Excerpt:
Erika rubbed her palms on her thighs. “Darien
went out with his friends and they got a little drunk. Then some girls came
over and started chatting.”
“Bitches.” Sandee pursed his lips.
“Oh, I haven’t got to the bitch yet.”
“What?” Sandee pressed his hand on his chest.
“Her name’s Savannah and she’s an ex.”
His eyes widen. “Oh. No. He didn’t. I will
bitch slap that boy the next time I see him.” He chuckled. “I think I just
channeled Ra-chell.”
“She kissed him. Twice. Then suggested they
leave for somewhere more private.”
He placed his hands over his ears. “La la la
la. I’m not listening.”
Erika laughed and pulled his hands down. “He
didn’t go with her. He went home.”
Sandee scratched his head. “So why are you so
sad?”
“He almost did. What if he had?” Her voice
broke on the last word.
“Look on the bright side. He didn’t cheat on
you.” Sandee held out his hands palm up. “Think of it this way. He went to the
donut store. He had a choice between a chocolate covered donut or a bagel.” He
lifted his left hand. “Donut.” Then his right hand. “Bagel. The donut has
sprinkles. Sprinkles will get a man every time. I oughtta know, I’m awesome
with sprinkles.” He fanned himself.
“Trust me Sandee, there is no one as fab-U-lous
as you.”
“I know. But back to Darien. Darien wants the
donut. He lusts after the donut. His groin is on fire for the sprinkles.”
Erika waved her hand in front of her face. “I’m
getting the picture.”
“But did he eat the donut?” Sandee shook his
head.
“No. He tossed the donut on her ass.” He
flipped his left hand with a pompous sneer.
“Which leaves me being the bagel.” She raised
an eyebrow.

Book Links:
You’ll
notice we always include the publisher’s buy link. That’s because authors
usually receive 40-50% of the net proceeds from the publisher. Editors and
cover artists usually receive about 5%. When you buy a book from Amazon, Barnes
& Noble or another third-party vendor, they take a hefty cut and the
author, editors and cover artists receive their cuts from what is left. So, if
a book costs $5.99 at E-Book Publisher.com and you buy from there, the author
will receive about $2.40-$2.99. If you buy the book at Amazon, the author will
receive about $1.70-$2.10.
Download
the file from the publisher onto your computer as you would any other file.
I’ve created a folder for books on my computer, with subfolders by source
(Marketing for Romance Writers, Net Galley, Authors who find me on Kindle
lists, etc.). That way, if there’s a glitch with your Kindle, the books are on
your computer. Some publishers send books in all digital formats. If my Kindle
breaks and my kids buy me a Nook, I won’t have to replace all of my books. If
you have a Kindle and your hubby has a Nook, you won’t have to buy separate
copies, so buying directly from the publisher can save you money.
Moving
the file from your computer to your e-reader is as easy as transferring any
file from your computer to a USB flash drive. Plug the larger USB end of your
e-reader charging chord into a USB port on your computer and simply move the
file from the folder into which you’ve downloaded the book to Documents/Books
directory on your e-reader. You can move the file by highlighting it and
dragging it to the documents directory in you Kindle you want to move it to. Or
right click on it, and then left click copy or move. Or hit Control/C for copy,
Control/X for cut, and Control/V for paste.
Your
author will be happy you did when he/she sees his/her royalty statement.
Thanks
for visiting.
Thanks for letting Darien take over your blog.
