Lady Fury. Me? Why would I do that? What kind of a re-release day jaunt in this?
Lady Fury – I didn’t know she did. She doesn’t either. As to why she writes them? Well, publishers are always looking for romances.
Lady Fury – Excuse me. Who was asked along here to do this post? On love? And answer questions about myself?
Lady Fury —Dudes, can we just please…..
Happy Valentine’s Day to you ,Shey and the Hammies 🙂 ❤ xx
Happy Day Ralpha, to you and your lovely lady xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Happy Valentines Day, Shey and those dudes they crack me up every time 🙂
Lots of love to you Carol. Enjoy your day. The dudes were …impeccably…behaved… NOT today. They tried. They truly tried.
Haha..trying is good xxx
Yeah…. As some of my characters have said… We all know that’s not succeeding… but hey. They are but simple souls. x
Dir Carol…thit is whit we let Shey think….
Hippy Vilintine’s Day
The Dudes. x
Ah, lovely. A Lady Shey greatest hits! Happy Valentine’s Day to you and all your heroines. May you all get diamonds, or at the very least flowers and chocolate. :0) xo
Oh I am sure the little fellahs will be back several pounds heavier… Then we will be talking diets. A lovely day to you Pam. Hope it’s the best. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ah, it’s wonderful as I today received my copy of Lady Fury on my kindle!❤️😍💐
OH MYYYYY. You made my day. As it was I was waiting till tomorrow to celebrate Valentine’s and the re-release at a fav eatery in the Ferry but OH I am happy dancing now xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A perfect post, Shey, to remind us on Valentines what love is and how all encompassing it can be. Powerful quotes. I hope it inspires the dudes to spread a little love today. Have a wonderful red-rose day. xxx
I always find writing about love is the hardest thing actually. And after the things H and H have often done to one another, well, I start quaking in my boots, thinking I better at least try and deliver. AS you can see the dudes are already spreading a ton of love…. Have a wonderful day yourself xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Happy Valentine’s Day my Glamorous and Mystical Shehanne!! Thank you for putting all this love (and seduction) into our world!! ❤
Lol… you sussed I hide behind the dudes! THANK YOU for the lovely comment and also for your great blog on family life. I love it. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Happy Valentine dudes. ❤ Some wonderful words on love, Shey, and it can't be defined but we keep trying and those quotes really do go a long way to capturing it. xxx
Happy Valentine’s to you Adele. Yep it is hard to define. And bigger yep we keep trying. Cos also everyone is different. Writing it there’s also the essence, the thing that makes these people tick and seem right for each other at the end of the day. So thank you, cos I truly do find it hard not to sound trite and I wanted to do different takes on it, like Malice’s acerbic one from the start of the Viking and Stillmore’s jaded one from Splendor, cos both these characters have been badly bitten and burnt as opposed to the it’s all rainbows moments. And thank you so much for reblogging xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You’re very welcome, Shey. xxxxxxxx
xxxxxxx. I am away to start on your book today Adele. Got Pauls’ back to him for final proofing xxx
oh, wow, now I’m mega excited and a bit nervous. xxxxxxx
Oh don’t you worry xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reblogged this on firefly465 and commented:
To celebrate the release of Lady Fury by Shehanne Moore I give you the Dudes and the art of defining “love”.
A timely reminder Love is not always hearts and flowers but an unfulled hunger and an obsesive unquenchable desire. Tthere is only one way an author can bring those reckless and feckless feelings to life and that is with the power of the narrative, the words used and the way they use them to paint directly onto a reader’s emotional canvass.
I love they way you use words and they way you structure them within the story; love the rawness and power in your quotes above, how they expose the darkness that lurks at the heart of your characters, and the vulnerability that shines through that darkness, which they use as a mask to hide behind.
Said it before and Will say it again. Your new covers encapsulate the essence of your novels into a single vibrant whiff of SMEXY. Almost like a heady perfume. It’s brilliant branding. Individual and identifiable.
Paul, my day is being made many times over. I love the way you get my characters. Love IS certainly not always hearts and flowers. In fact I won’t write hearts and flowers. I always go back to Rilke on the subject, the difficulty of loving another, the fact there is nothing without it, to make damn sure I won’t actually, nor could I do it today. I tried to pick different quotes from diff places in these books when journeys were still to be made and truly I do get to the quaking in my boots stage when I’ve finally reached the place where I need to pull it all together and hopefully try to deliver this passion, my characters have usually tried so hard to deny. So your words mean a lot, truly. And thank you about the covers xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Happy Valentine’s Day Shehanne!
Happy Valentine’s little Hamsters. Quit eating the mail!!!
Yes, Shey, Your books are about love. It’s always Valentine’s Day between their covers. 📕♥️📕
These look like hearts to me. In every way. The happiest day to you. Your gowns are pure valentines. Every single one xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Dear Resa, we could not help eating the mail No-one gave us any chocolates.
Love
the poor dudes
Don’t know why that big red heart came out tiny? Let me try another way.
📕 ❤ 📕
Happy Valentine, dear Shey and Mr, and the Dudes!
You too Dolly. We are going out for our meal today xxxxxxxx
Does “we” include the dudes? I hope so! Enjoy your romantic meal!
Nah. they would get me flung out of a place faster than I can do myself…..x

A fine Romance…
I have that song in my head now xxxx
really…
I could maybe dance it to your lovely words x
Sounds like Lady Fury lost patience with the dudes. Ah well, I can’t blame her for that, especially when there’s eating of valentines and postmen 🙂 But these quotes on love do get me thinking about how amazing your creativity is, O Sweet Lady Shey. You’ve taken one thing, a universal thing like love, and you’ve transformed it over and over again for each story to make it a unique event time and time again. Beautiful. xxxxxx
Lady Jean, firstly their skills at interviewing my characters are not the best and she and them have a long history where the love bit isn’t mutual. Secondly, your kind words mean the world to me. You come up against this thing in writing romance often where folks just think you write slop and I think …well, ain’t you misinformed and blinkered. I want to write about the human condition–and sometimes that ain’t that nice as we all know — and I am trying to get at what, not only makes these characters tick, but what makes them tick together, so at the end, it’s not all roses and rainbows, it’s a couple who have hammered down each other’s and their own edges to make this work. Originally I’d planned on taking all the big moments from each book but I chose two from earlier in the books about love to show the very different aspects of it and also at this stage, the journeys still to be made. All couples are unique in how they work together, so I am thrilled that you felt this in the extracts xxxxxxxxx
I did indeed! and it’s so true. No couple comes together the same way. Love is an ever-changing connector and you share every stage of its transformation. That’s another reason readers stay engaged with you: they never know what form love will take next. xxxxxxxxxx
LOl xxxx Well one of the things I’m editing right now… I am also busy on a YA book for a forthcoming Black Wolf release for one of our authors…is my latest and this is a tale of revenge that can’t be taken and how two people on the very edge, of a disintegrating edge, can still somehow come together because they make each other feel alive. And because of that –just to complicate things– of not wanting to do that either, of fearing to do that, thinking some falls can’t be broken by another, there’s no end of betrayal. It’s .. ahem… yep, quite complex xxxx
Constant enticement to read more! And for the hammies to eat more mail. Well done, Shey! 💗 Happy Valentine’s Day 🙂
Happy times to you too Ka. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Yeah the hammies did not behave well. they got a bit excited I am afraid. Thank you for the lovely comment xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She hardly got a word in edgeways. But then she and the dudes have never got along xxxxx
Hmmm great twist and turns in the story!!!
Keep up great work dear
Cheers 💐
Have a cup of coffee please☕☕
I am going to have my morning latte and chocolate. My daily wee treat xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It’s always refreshing to read you. Your stories are magnificent that leave a good flavor to follow you.
You always say the kindest things. And they make my day. Truly. It is lovely to have followers like you xxxxxxxx
What a perfect post! Love the beautiful quotes. I can see that a love life of Hamsters is too complicated and dramatic… It is much easier to write about all the beautiful, strong and passionate ladies, like say Lady Fury, right? 😉 Congratulations on the re-release! ❤
Hope you had a stellar Valentine's day xxxx
Dir Inis… it wis too complikatid to rit of so we didn’t. We didn’t interview Lidy Fury either and now we r in trible.
Love
The dudes x
Have you ever been out of trouble, Dudes? Bless your little hearts ❤
We don’t no why we ir alwis in trible. Shey said there we ate hir internet and we nivir did though it wis very nice.
The malined Dudes
And of course they don’t know whey they are in trouble. Sorry Inese, my net collapsed there as I went to reply. Thank you so much for your congrats and your lovely comment. Never mind these dudes, it is of course harder to write about these ladies. I had a quiet Valentine’s Day. We went out the next night for a meal just down the road and a few drinks after. And had a very nice candlelit meal on the Saturday. I hope you had a nice time. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Candlelit meal is so Valentinesque ❤
You are doing a fantastic job writing about all these ladies, Shehanne. I guess it is because you yourself are awesome xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Lol Inese… If only xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Well we don’t use our dining room much cos we have a dining kitchen BUT it is a nice room, very private, very quiet, and it is so nice to sit there over a meal when it’s dark outside with strains of wonderful singers like Billie Holliday in the background. So we ended up, sitting there till 11 instead of lighting the fire and watching some stuff instead. My ladies, well I know they are quite difficult but I do have fun writing them xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi
Happy Friday to you.
thanks
how are you ??

Meet Me…..
Your words are lovely. Keep up the excellent work. I look forward to reading more
Sorry. I meant to reply earlier but I thought I better get ahead with some editing, so then I could get to the good parts of the day, the catching up
I’m a bit late but I wish you and the hammies a beautiful Valentine. I loved your post, Shey. What a brilliant idea to shine the love passages from your novels. Just right for Valentine’s Day – so much passion. xxx
Better late than never Carol. I am so glad you liked the post. I didn’t want to do cutesy love for a number of reasons. I thought let’s go with different aspects and yep, I do find it hard to write about love and not bunch my toes, so thank you, bottom of my heart, thank you xxxxxx
What a never-ending tragedy it was for humanity (and hamsteramnity) when the manuscript of Alistair The Happy Hamster a tale of great love and suffering was forever lost to posterity.
It is perfectly shocking. And indeed it is a tail…oops tale ..of love and suffering. x
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>It is perfectly shocking.Thank you uuuuuuuuuuu(*L*)))))))))))
Oh… I likes to be perfectly shocking now and then….. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Enjoy your day.
Oh … I like to shock every now and then perfect like hidden camera (((as a joke))) … xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Enjoy also sunny thursday day.
Ha ha!! Nothing like a bit of shock. You have a wonderful weekend when I comes.
This is too good Madam.. 🙂 Your highly unconventional style of writing is something totally unique.. I feel like I haven’t learnt anything as of now..!!
Thank you for sharing and giving another reason to smile.. 🙂
Aw, so glad you got a smile. I think you can’t go far wrong in life if you can smile. Oh and be kind, which you are. I don’t know that I have ever been conventional and yep this blog is a bit silly but so long as people get a laugh, then I’m happy.
🙂 😀
Happy to read more and feel deeply privileged to know about your writings.. Believe Me.. 🙂
Thank you so very much. You have so kindly made my day today xx
✨♥️✨
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx you
