A Letter to my Readers

Dear Reader:
First I want to tell you that RSJ was wonderful. It's always fun meeting with other authors and readers. I even picked up a couple of names to use in my vampire series, fans of Beverly Jenkins's who wanted to murder me. LOL. They all know my plans to have Adam Omega kill them off so you don't have to go and tell on me. I'll always tell on myself.
I recently signed two new contracts with Parker Publishing. One is for an anthology that will be coming out in Nov. If you know anything at all about me you know I tend to write rather long books. So naturally no one thought I could do an anthology. I want to thank JM Jefferies for inviting me to be in The Lotus Blossom Chronicles with them. And yes, I did of course go over my page limit but I know you were expecting that anyway. LOL. The second book will be a sort of women's fiction/paranormal and it will be written under my F.D.Davis. Actually the book is already written and edited. I'm busy at work now on the third book of my vampire series. Again I have to thank all the people at Parker Publishing, for making it a company that I want to continue writing for.
My second vampire book, In Blood we trust will be released in September
The dedication for Another Man's Baby was accidentally left out of the book so I'm posting it here. It's the only book that I've written that I felt honored my husband as a marine and an American. I think I'll describe this book as a book for more serious readers. Now don't go getting upset with me. I am in no way putting down the craft I love. I'm a romance author. Actually i guess I should say I'm a writer and I go where the muse lead me. This time the muse led me to write a book with a more serious issue. I'd say this would be a book for those of you who say you don't like romance. I hope those readers who like the romances that I write will give this book a try. I don't think you will be disappointed in the least. Elsewhere on the site I have a video of Another Man's Baby, so that you the reader will know that it is a different book.
Namaste
Dyanne Davis
Dedicated to Lance Corporal, William Davis. USMC--From 1964-1968. Thirteen months tour of duty in 1966 in Vietnam. once a marine always a marine. My friend my husband, my lover, the father of my child, the kee per of my dreams the yin to my yang, it is with great honor that I dedicate this book to you. I am eternally gratefully that God was with your throughout your tour of duty in a country ravished by war. There were many horrors in that war as there are in any war. You came home whole and that is a true gift.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your service to the United States of America for your courageous involvement in a war no one wanted. YOU didn’t run but did your duty to your country. You were not in a war that was supported by the people. No one rallied around you or praised you for your service. Being a Black marine carried with it a double whammy. On your return home it was to a country in upheaval with the assignation of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. You were disrespected when you returned home as though you were the ones who had signed the declaration of war. Though it was not a war of your making, still you served.
You didn’t come home from Vietnam to cheers and accolades. So I will give them to you now. < st2:PersonName>Lance corporal William Davis, I personally thank you for having served your country and for putting your life in danger for thirteen hellish months in Vietnam. I appreciate your bravery of heart and spirit. And it is with deep respect, honor and love that I dedicate Eric’s struggles to you. This is the only book that would have done justice to You, the marine. I love you with all my heart, soul mind and spirit. Thank you for being all that you could be: The Brave. The Proud. The MARINE.
