GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN, A TRIBUTE TO DELLANI OAKES

 

The writing world just got a little smaller yesterday. Our friend, co worker and talented writer Dellani Oakes passed away after a long battle with cancer. She was a friend to many and gave exposure and encouragement to many new writers by hosting them on her radio shows

.Dellani will be missed by all.

 

Dellani Oakes is a former A.P. English teacher, photo journalist, substitute teacher and Mary Kay consultant. She can give skin care & makeup advice, correct grammar, take pictures and write an article while controlling a classroom full of rowdy children.

Dellani was making up stories before she could read. Her first really cohesive work began when her older sister started school. Left to entertain herself, she invented an imaginary friend and would regale her mother with tales of Snowy Green and Rainbow School. These stories paved the way for songs and poems in elementary school and short stories in high school and college.

A college theatre major, Dellani took play writing. It became her new love. Scripts being dialog heavy and character driven, this aspect has followed her into her novel writing. She uses verbal exchanges & sparring as a way of revealing both plot and characterization.

Dellani had to set aside her love of writing when she began working as a teacher. Her creative energies were channeled into writing exams to make her students cry–although this wasn’t usually intentional. Unfortunately, between that and motherhood, she didn’t have time to write.

Once her youngest son started school in 2002, she was able to write full time. Her first novel, “Indian Summer”, was published in 2008. Her second novel, “Lone Wolf” made its debut in September 2011. “Lone Wolf” is the first in her science-fiction series. Book two of the Lone Wolf Series – “Shakazhan”, came out in July of 2013. Both have recently been reissued in Kindle Format.

In addition to her historical novel and sci-fi, Dellani has added 7 romantic suspense novels, 4 of which are published by Tirgearr Publishing. The rest, she has independently published. She also shares some of her unpublished work for free on her blog.

Dellani is a Blog Talk Radio host with two shows each month on the Red River Radio Network: Dellani’s Tea Time 4:00 PM Eastern every 2nd Monday & What’s Write for Me at 4:00 PM Eastern every 4th Wednesday. Look for her on Red River Radio Network. (Guests vary)

IT’S BIKE WEEK AND JAMIE & DRAVEN ARE ON THE RUN–ONE NIGHT IN DAYTONA BEACH BY DELLANI OAKES

 Gangs, Bikes and BabesReviewed in the United States on October 31, 2015

Verified Purchase

Who writes a strip tease scene with Marilyn Manson playing in the background? Author Dellani Oakes that’s who! This is by far my favorite book she’s written yet! A Night in Daytona Beach is the story of Draven Wick, an actor who is happens to be at Daytona’s infamous Bike Week when he stumbles into a hot redhead doing a sexy routine on a motorcycle. At the request of the female spectators, he does his own routine alongside her when he discovers she is Jamie Humphrey, a long, lost love from a decade ago. From their first meeting to their first date, there is sexual tension that threatens to send readers to the showers in order to hose down. Yes, it’s that hot!

After their first sexual encounter Jamie discovers that Draven hasn’t been completely honest with her and is in real danger after a mysterious phone call. I won’t give away any spoilers but the story is thrilling with bikers, sex and witty dialog that most romance/erotic books lack. IMHO. If you want a good, steamy read, A Night In Daytona Beach is a good buy and a good read. I give 5 stars easy!

Detectives Walter Scott and Vanessa Weinstein are called in on the case, ready for action. Unfortunately, Detective Scott hadn’t counted on the eyewitness, Cadence Stuart.

Unfortunately, so far, the killer’s identity and whereabouts are Undiscovered.

TEENS, MUSIC AND TROUBLE UNDER THE WESTERN SKY —A RETRO ROMANCE IN 1970S NEBASKA BY DELLANI OAKES

 

It’s small-town Nebraska in the late 1970’s and life in the small Midwestern town is quiet and uneventful. That’s what Libby Marshall and Bobby Menedez think until Bobby’s cousin, Ramon is beaten by a group of white boys because he is dating a white girl. Libby and Bobby realize that their relationship might make them targets, but they believe their love is stronger than hate. But is it? Something quite evil lies hidden Under the Western Sky.

C. Giguere5.0 out of 5 stars A Timely Book That’s Totally Retro!Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2013Verified PurchaseBobby Menendez has it tough, he is a Mexican teenager in a small town that has more than its share of racial tension. On top of that, he is dating Libby Marshal, a blond hair blue eyed white girl. This doesn’t go unnoticed by the local bigots who are determined to make Bobby’s life and everyone he loves, hell. Betrayed by his best friend, Bobby is left to face his enemies on his own all the while trying to protect Libby.

A plan is hatched and traitors close in on all sides while unlikely allies appear to fight at Bobby’s side. Secrets are exposed and the people Bobby thought he knew, reveal their true nature. In an effort to protect themselves and preserve their “perfect” town, it is decided Bobby must die. This is when all hell breaks loose!

Under the Western Sky is a story that could have easily been ripped from today’s headlines only it takes place in the 1970’s. I could almost hear the hiss from the turntable as the Santana record played while Bobby and Libby danced together. Dellani Oakes does an awesome job at depicting the era as well as the issues that plagued that period.

Under the Western Sky is filled with action, romance and suspense which will leave readers glued to the pages or eReader which ever you prefer. I give it 5 stars.
