Some of y’all might already know why. But I love drawing things out. So, I’m a writer already! Oy! And so not Jewish, but I have this voice inside my head that sounds like The Nanny’s mother. (Yes, voices come to visit.)
Just over a week ago, I got this lovely tattoo.
I know my foot looks grubby, but it’s the dye bleeding, and my foot’s swollen. I was in pain, but the tatt looked great. I haven’t taken a new picture for a very good reason. Right now the skin over the tattoo is shedding like snakeskin. I get large pretty flakes of it every time I rub my finger over the flowers and leaves.
I’ve been spending a lot of time looking at my feet. And like the crack addict who is never satisfied, I knew something was still missing from the picture my foot made. So I’ve ordered a toe ring. That’s what the dental floss is for. Ever try to get a tape measure around your little piggy? It’s hard enough at my age to bend that far and wrap dental floss around it and SEE what my pen is marking.
And that’s my excitement for the day. I have a story to wrap up. And a book about to release that I need to start talking up.
Tempted by a Cowboy is due out on June 30th!
If the cover isn’t enough to tell you what’s inside, let me just tell you that there’s plenty of sexy cowboys in tight Wranglers and hot sweaty sex. But hey, you can read an excerpt on my site if you’re still not convinced this is the book for you!
Enjoy!
I love the tattoo, Delilah! Stay off your foot for awhile.
by judie stewart · June 15th, 2009 at 10:47 amI love your tattoo. Mine is almost healed and I’ve got to check it and see if it needs to be touched up. The stuff they told me to use helped a lot.
The cover of your new book looks HOT!!!! I love me some cowboys. I have several of your books and am getting ready to order Lockdown and Sin’s Gift hopefully this weekend.
by heather Brewer · June 15th, 2009 at 11:36 amThe tat of course looks great and so does the book. How did they tell you to take care of it?
Hubby was told for his last one to A&D it and wrap with saran wrap for a few nights. Keep uncovered during the day an he lotioned it like crazy. As far as I know it still looks great.
by Brandy W · June 15th, 2009 at 11:38 amThe tat is beauteous! If I had the courage to get one It would be a fairy or flowers. About the toe ring, at least your toes are not crooked so it all good. I cant what for your book to get here. Congrats, It looks good!
by Sarah Ulfers · June 15th, 2009 at 2:09 pmMmm… Another great cover for another great book, Delilah! And yes, that tattoo is gorgeous! What kind of ring are you getting?
by Fedora · June 15th, 2009 at 3:58 pmLove your ink and am certainly looking forward to the release of another cowboy book.

I try!! I wrote all day today, but broke down and went for a swim. I know. I should stay away from the chlorine, but dang, it was a pretty day!
Heather!
Thanks so much!! I hope you like the demons as well as you do the cowpokes.
Brandy!
by Delilah Devlin · June 15th, 2009 at 6:09 pmThey said to use A&D for the first week, then treat it normally so it would scab. Ew!
Sarah!
Yeah, the tatt takes courage. Imagine a razorblade cutting into the top of your foot. But strangely, I’m already planning the next.
Fedora!
I ordered a little silver band of flowers.
Sonya!
Thanks! I hope you like the stories as well as you like that cover!
by Delilah Devlin · June 15th, 2009 at 6:12 pmI love the tat! Absolutely gorgeous, but just thinking about getting one on the top of my foot makes me cringe–that’s such a sensitive area! you’re a braver woman than I am!

by Delilah Devlin · June 17th, 2009 at 11:39 amCourage had nothing to do with it. Try ignorance. I had no idea it was going to more senstive than any other place for him to “carve”. I just wanted something pretty I could see all the time!
Its beautiful. It is a good size too. Some are to small and others are way to big. That ink looks really good. I agree, toe ring. That would look really good on you.
