Joya Ryan | Computer History

facebooktwitter

So…I have my own laptop. It’s where all the writing happens naturally. However,
I forget that surfing the web comes with mapping and tracking your computer
history. Not that it really matters…until you go on someone else’s computer.
Let’s say, for example, my husbands.

Surfing the web for β€œhot shirtless guys with tattoos” may be a normal thing in
my world (because hey, a girl needs to have inspiration when writing about a
ripped, sexy hero!) but when my laptop was out of commission for a couple days,
I used my husband’s desktop computer. When I finally got through the week and
was back to my precious, the hubby had some questions about the browser history
I’d left behind.

β€œUm, J?” he asks as he scrolls through his computer. β€œWhy am I getting pop ups
of…” tilts his head, β€œhalf naked dudes?” He clicks through to get to his Amazon
account. β€œAnd why is Amazon recommending erotic novels based on a book β€˜Owned By
Fate’ to me?” Looks closer at the screen. β€œIs that woman on the cover naked?
With a blind fold over her eyes?”

Oh, I forgot to mention I ordered some E-books through his Amazon account. But!
Nothing to be done now so I answer the best way I can.

β€œYes, honey, she is naked with a blindfold, and just an FYI, the book is
awesome. It’s on your Kindle too if you want to check it out. The half naked
dudes are my inspiration. I’m trying to write this hero and couldn’t decide if
he should have nipple rings or not. What do you think?”

He blinks a few times, then gets up and walks to the kitchen. Shaking his head,
he mumbles, β€œYour laptop is never breaking again.”

About CHASING DESIRE

When the chase ends, the fun begins…

It's her best friend's wedding, and Autumn Lane is trussed up in a pink
bridesmaid dress with a big β€œeverything is great” smile plastered across her
face. She's not going think about her life imploding, or spending the next two
weeks housesitting in the ridiculously small town of Diamond. No, she'd rather
think about the tattooed hottie in the wedding party...and how to turn the
wicked way he’s looking at her into a night of intense pleasure.

Huck Galvin is fiercely attracted to his mystery woman's no-BS attitude, but
their one-night-no-strings plan backfires when Huck discovers that Autumn is the
out-of-towner he's β€œchaperoning” for the next two weeks. Outside the bedroom,
the two can’t stand each other, yet Huck can’t deny how much he wants one more
night with her. But Autumn isn't going to make it easy for Huck. Not by a long
shot...

Re: Joya Ryan | Computer History

I just wanted to Thank You for making me laugh after reading
your posting!! I can just imagine the look on your
Husband's face when he got back on his computer!! lol All
in a day's work - or two, though. Even though your book
sounds like an interesting read, I don't own an e-reader,
and have no space on my laptop to download at the moment. I
currently have voluteered to teach a knitting class, and the
space on my computer filled up really quickly with patterns
that I needed for that purpose. I own an older laptop, so
I've been at this for some time. Anyway, if I ever do get
an e-reader, I will check your books out!!

I laughed at your experience using your hubby's computer. But you have to do research, now don't you....LOL
