About Me
- Author Gail DeYoung
- Southeast, Florida, United States
- I've had a love affair with books since I was a little girl. Once I discovered that stories could take me to amazing worlds where heroes and heroines could tackle insurmountable odds and yet live happily ever after, I was hooked. My overactive imagination always questions "what if?" and I often daydream about scenarios for the next story. Living in South Florida is a dream I fulfilled. For many years now, the balmy breezes, palm trees and surf crashing upon the shoreline have satisfied my soul. They often show up as settings for my stories. I used to say that I'd try anything once, but that was before some suggested skydiving, mountain climbing and swimming with sharks. Nowadays, I prefer the comfort of my chair in front of my computer where the most dangerous thing I face is writer's block. I let my characters tackle the impossible challenges and all I have to do is make sure they have a happy ending. I welcome readers to explore the fantastic world of my imagination where anything is possible and most likely will happen. Look for my books and e-books at Ellora's Cave, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and many other fine e-tailers

Hi, everyone!
Thanks for dropping by. I really appreciate your taking the time to come here. I know there are a gazillion other places on the web you could be visiting at this moment.
If you’re an occasional visitor to my site, you’ve probably noticed that I don’t post as many articles as other authors. For someone who uses words to entertain, you’d think I’d have a plethora of things to say. But I don’t want to bore you, so my motto is “less is best.” I’ll always keep you informed of release dates, a contest I’m holding or news of a good book that I just read. I’m not sitting idly by twiddling my thumbs. Even though my fingers might not be clicking away at the keyboard, my brain is working overtime.
You see, I’m a perfectionist. Oops, I let the cat out of the bag. Yep, I let stories brew in my mind until I really know those characters, the setting and the circumstances that face them. I’ve discovered that I can write a decent story quickly but if I wait until the time is right, the story has more depth and evokes more feeling. There are little details that I love to include, such as an “ah ha!” moment or an “oh shit!” moment. Gosh, I get such a kick out of those. If I cry, laugh out loud, get mad at a character or get turned on, I know there’s a good possibility I may affect my audience the same way.
There are authors who publish six or more stories in one year. They’re amazing and unlike me, probably don’t hold down a full-time job also. For now, cranking out one or two books a year is probably my best speed (though I may surprise you when you least expect it!)
My current W.I.P. (work in process) is “Decadent Delights”. I’m doing one final self-edit before I ship it off to my editor. I really love this story and I hope you will, too. It should appeal to anyone who loves chocolate and sex, not necessarily in that order (wink). It has identical twin brothers, two completely different types of candy shops and one very creative, sexy woman. Can anyone say “competition?” It started out as a 15,000 word “quickie” and is now close to 45,000 words. See what happens when I let a story brew?
I recently joined a group of ladies writing a series called, “1-800-DOM-help” at Ellora’s Cave. If you’re looking for a great BDSM read, I highly suggest you check out these books. I’ll be working on my own story for that series soon which I’m tentatively calling, “Pleasure Bound.”
In the meantime, I wish you happy reading and thank you once again for your patronage.
