    Christmas Goes Analog 

    Kate Lowell, welcome
    to Romance Lives Forever. Let’s talk about your book, Christmas Goes Analog.

    Genre: Contemporary
    Holiday
    Publisher: Loose Id
    Cover artist: Valerie
    Tibbs
    Length: 30,000 words
    Heat rating: Explicit
    Tagline: When plans
    to celebrate a traditional Christmas together with Rob’s family fall apart, Shawn
    decides to create their own Christmas tradition.
    Blurb:
    When Rob’s dad was injured
    by an uninsured driver, it spelled the end of Rob’s carefree childhood and, more
    important to Rob, the idyllic Christmases they used to have. Hard work and sacrifice
    nets him a degree in computer programming and then a contract at a rapidly-growing
    video game company. Things are looking up, especially when he meets his new System
    Administrator. But the closer it gets to Christmas, the more bugs there are in the
    system.
    Shawn’s found him. The
    Guy. But Rob’s had it rough and it’s been years since he’s been anything but responsible.
    It all comes boiling to the surface when a family financial crisis is followed by
    a work emergency that ruins Rob’s plans to bring Shawn home to meet the family over
    Christmas holidays.
    With Rob’s mood growing
    darker the closer it gets to Christmas, Shawn needs to find some way to give Rob
    the Christmas he’s so desperate for. And he just might have the plan…

    Interview

    How did you get your start in the industry?
    I was laid off one summer,
    from a job I hated, and decided that I would give the writing a serious go, as a
    way to take back the parts of me that the hostile work environment had crushed.
    I started several different projects, in differing genres, and kept noodling away
    at them until I had one finished. At some point, I stumbled across my online critique
    group, which has been the best thing that ever happened to me, because it was their
    support and approval that convinced me to submit something. I was lucky enough to
    catch the eye of Raven McKnight at Loose Id and it’s been a fantastic experience.
    It’s nice to work with someone who gets your goofy jokes and actively encourages
    your weirdness and ‘not in the box’-ness.
    What is the most important thing you do for your
    career now, as compared to when you first started writing?
    I give it time and treat
    it seriously. I think I’m more forward about promotion, because a professional treats
    promotion like a part of the job. And I’m more likely to give myself the ‘down’
    time between drafts, because I understand how I write much better now. I tend to
    write a clean first draft, but–like many pantsers–it’s more of a detailed outline,
    not a full first draft. Rewrites
    Underground Erotica

    are necessary to add in the layers of information
    and make sure plot elements are properly supported. So I keep a number of different
    projects going at once (I have about a dozen right now, at various stages, from
    single scenes to more than half finished.)

    What websites do you visit daily?
    Daily? My email. Twitter.
    Absolute Write. My critique group. News sites and any interesting links that show
    up in my Twitter feed or elsewhere. I try to stay off the internet, if I can, since
    it can be a huge time waster and I’d rather make words.
    If you could change something about your first
    book, what would it be?
    Lol. I’d write the prequel
    first. The biggest complaint about the first book was that people wanted to know
    the story of how Levi and Glynn got together. Bite Me Tender took place about four
    years into their relationship. But I love those two so much, they’ll definitely
    be coming back.
    What do you enjoy most about writing?
    I like that I’m independent,
    that it’s a structured activity that taps my creativity in a way that everyday life
    doesn’t even come close to. If you want to get all psychological about it, I’m an
    INTJ, which makes me analytical, creative and someone who can’t help fusing things
    that, on the surface, don’t belong together. Writing feeds a part of me that the
    day job can’t even touch.
    If you could give the younger version of yourself
    advice what would it be?
    Write anyway. Find some
    time. Find some people to help you learn to do it better. Don’t be ashamed of your
    ideas, don’t let anyone tell you that girls can’t write scifi or fantasy. Own your
    weirdness and seek out people who are also weird. Experiment. Don’t think of a failed
    project as a waste–it’s practice.
    And don’t let anyone
    tell you that you’re too aggressive and it’s not appropriate. Screw that. Push.
    What is your work ethic when it comes to writing?
    When not tied down by
    other responsibilities, I like to hit a minimum of 1500 words a day, though not
    necessarily all on the same project. It’s nice if I get it all on one, but it rarely
    works that way. A lot of days I’ll go beyond that, but not always. I keep a number
    of projects going at the same time, because some days my subconscious isn’t ready
    with the next step of a story, so I move to something else. As long as words are
    coming out, I’m happy, but there have to be words each day.
    How do you cope with stress as an author?
    Work avoidance, until
    I can’t take it anymore. :P Then I very deliberately open up a file that doesn’t
    have a due date and put about 250 words on it. After that, things tend to flow smoothly.
    But I do have a tendency, once I get a book open, to obsess over it and work on
    it all the time, which is part of my stress-coping mechanism.
    Do things your family or friends do ever end
    up in a book?
    Can I plead the Fifth,
    even if I’m Canadian?
    I’ll confess, names
    of people around me often end up in books. Very rarely do personalities get transplanted,
    though, since characters tend to arrive in my head with very definite ideas of who
    they are and what they want. Random stories often appear, with names changed to
    protect the guilty. You’re all fodder to the word machine!
    What kind of books do you read when taking a
    break from your own writing?
    I read MM and other
    LGBT fiction, plus a variety of fantasy and science fiction. I’m a spec fic writer
    by nature, but I love the challenges of writing in the MM genre and the freedom
    it gives me to write about themes and ideas that are skated over or often downright
    ignored in mainstream publishing. So I go back and forth between my two loves. Last
    MM book read was the Power Play duology by Rachel Haimowitz and Cat Grant. Last
    sff book (series, really) read was John Scalzi’s Old Man’s War, which was an interesting
    setting, though I found I was getting a little tired of the ‘Oh, what a cool universe
    I’ve created’ by the fourth book, and began hoping for a bit more story.
    Bite Me Tender 
    What good book have you read recently?
    I listen to a lot of
    audiobooks, because I do a lot of driving. So, I’m ‘reading’ Joe Abercrombie’s The
    Blade Itself trilogy, which is a pretty interesting take on the fantasy genre. It
    looks on the surface like a fairly generic epic fantasy, but he takes a number of
    classic fantasy archetypes and–shifts them, ever so slightly. Odd little combinations.
    His characters are likeable, the story keeps me coming back, though it’s so subtle
    I really can’t explain the draw. Next book slated for listening is a non-fiction
    about sociopaths.
    What do you like to do when you’re bored?
    Lol, I do research.
    Or household repairs. There’s always a list for both. Right now, I’m researching
    San Francisco history,
    reading up on police procedures and making lists of angelic hierarchies. I’m also
    fixing two broken chairs, building support frames for the firewood in the basement
    and contemplating building a swinging gate in the pony barn.
    If you were a color, what color would you be?
    Red. Definitely red.
    Or midnight blue.

    Please complete the sentences

    I love pizza with ham
    and pineapple
    .
    I’m always ready for
    a nice bottle of red wine. Australian, preferably.
    When I’m alone, I giggle
    and immediately throw my to-do list out the window, in favour of reading about boys
    in love and drinking wine.
    You’d never be able
    to tell from looking at my house, but at work I’m really incredibly organized.
    Anally so, so to speak.
    If I had a halo it would
    be dented and crooked, or lost under a pile of papers somewhere.
    If I could change
    one thing about myself
    , I’d like to be able to sing, instead of just scaring
    small children.
    I can never watch
    horror movies
    because then I’m trapped in my house with the axe in my hand,
    until the authorities take me away.

    His boyfriend, and the love of his life, is a witch. After living together for three
    years, they decided to commit to each other and change Glyn into a werewolf. Levi
    hoped the pack would accept Glyn more readily as a wolf. Glyn hoped it would eliminate
    his erratic magic and erase the OCD it caused. One year later, they’re still trying…

    why his bite won’t change Glyn and he’s running out of time to figure it out. His

    Christmas Recipe: Tomato Cake w/Cream Cheese Frosting @VickiBatman #RLFblog

     Great Fruitcake Bake Off
    Welcome Vicki Batman to the blog with a wonderful cake recipe that has a secret ingredient (tomato soup).
    When I grew up, my mom and her family baked and crafted special
    things at Christmas time. Mom and our neighbor spent a whole day making divinity,
    and yes, it was divine. My sisters and I did Wrap-a-thon. My grandmother was known
    for her special dessert: Tomato Cake.
    Before you get all weirdly freaked out, know this: I am/was a
    picky eater and I loved this cake. It does have tomato soup in it, but you know
    what? If you didn’t know that was an ingredient, you’d love it too. There are spices,
    nuts, raisins, and a decadent cream cheese frosting.
    This year, I wrote a hilarious holiday story entitled “The
    Great Fruitcake Bake-off.” I do like fruitcake. There are lots of varieties,
    some of which don’t have the candied fruit we’ve come to associate with the treat.
    Care to be daring and try a variation on Grandmother’s holiday
    cake?

    Tomato Cake

    From Campbells
    Soup: http://www.campbellskitchen.com/recipes/tomato-soup-spice-cake-24354
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 1/3 cups sugar
    4 teaspoons baking powder
    1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
    1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell’s®
    Condensed Tomato Soup
    1/2 cup vegetable shortening
    2 eggs
    1/4 cup water
    Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 13×9-inch baking pan. Stir the
    flour, sugar, baking powder, allspice, baking soda, cinnamon and cloves in a large
    bowl. Add the soup, shortening, eggs and water. Beat with an electric mixer on low
    speed just until blended. Increase the speed to high and beat for 4 minutes. Pour
    the batter into the pan. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the
    center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
    Frost with:

    Pineapple Cream Cheese Frosting:

    ½ C crushed pineapple with juice
    2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
    1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
    2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    2 3/4 cups confectioners’ sugar
    Beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract in a medium
    bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 2 minutes or until the mixture
    is smooth and creamy. Beat in the confectioners’ sugar. Add the pineapple and juice,
    1 tablespoon at a time, until the frosting is the desired consistency. Fill and
    frost the cake.
    This version is a tad different from Grandmother’s as it uses
    eggs and my sissie likes the Pineapple Cream Cheese Frosting. Grandmother added
    raisins and chopped dates too.
    And just to keep you hungry, here’s a fun excerpt from
    “The Great Fruitcake Bake-off.” Happy Holidays to you and yours!

    Interview

    How did you get your start in the industry?
    I got my start many years
    ago when a small magazine published a short story I had written during down time
    in college. Several years later I decided to pursue it again and to take the tumble
    down the rabbit hole.
    What is the most important thing you do for your career now,
    as compared to when you first started writing?
    A book needs nurturing
    even after publication. I strategize more about where I am headed with the stories
    I write and what I am trying to accomplish by writing it.
    What websites do you visit daily?
    I always tune into Twitter
    and Facebook.
    What do you enjoy most about writing?
    I enjoy creating worlds
    with unique characters that take on a life of their own.
    If you could give the younger version of yourself advice what
    would it be?
    Being a late bloomer
    is a good thing!
    What is your work ethic when it comes to writing?
    I don’t force the words
    to come. If that means some time away from the laptop, then I do it for the sake
    of the story I’m trying to complete.
    What do you think is the future of traditional publishing?
    I think traditional publishing
    is finding a way to work successfully with new technology. I believe printed books
    and e-books can live in harmony with a mutual respect for each other.
    Imagine you get to go on a dream vacation, but you have only
    one hour to pack and leave, and it starts as soon as you finish this interview.
    What will you take with you and where will you go?
    I would go to California and I would take
    an overnight bag filled with essentials like my laptop, iPod, camera and few clothing
    items.
    What is your favorite holiday and why?
    I like Christmas because
    people are a bit nicer because they are filled with the holiday spirit.
    If you were a color, what color would you be?
    I would be the color
    blue. Blue is cool, fluid and it puts people at ease.
    Please underline which statement is more like you:
    “I am a vacation spa because I am laid back and relaxed.”
    “I am a ten-countries in ten-days tour vacation, because
    I do things as fast as possible.”

    Please complete the sentences

    I love pizza with Dr. Pepper soda.
    I’m always ready for a Golden Girls marathon.
    When I’m alone, I like to watch television.
    You’d never be able to tell, but I like to crochet.
    If I had a halo it would be glowing.
    If I could travel back in time I’d learn how to sky
    dive.
    I can never have a cat because I’m a dog person.

    Character Interview with Bailey

    Tell us about yourself.
    Oh, I’m a natural born
    disaster. I swear I must have one of those cute little daemons on my shoulder and
    if something bad can happen, that little critter will make sure it does.
    Tell us about Sebastian
    Why, I’ve loved that
    man forever. He’s hot, and I do mean really hot. He hasn’t got an ounce of flesh
    that doesn’t flex and ripple with hard muscle. The way he sits astride a stallion,
    well, phew, I just can’t take my eyes off him – or my hands, or my … well, never
    you mind.
    What do you think is your strongest point?
    My determination and
    persistence.
    What would Sebastian say is your strongest point?
    Well, I think he might say it’s my ability to stay seated – on
    a rodeo pony of course.
    What would Sebastian say is your biggest weakness?
    Him.
    What was it like where you grew up?
    I grew up on a ranch.
    From the moment I could walk, I was put on the back of a pony. I loved it. I really
    missed it when I moved to New York.
    It was never the same. Can’t disappear into the wild blue yonder whenever you like.
    What do you wish was different about your life?
    I wish I wasn’t such a disaster attraction. I’ll tell you what,
    you would not be wise to get on a flight with me. Nu uh.
    What do you wish I had asked you? Please ask and answer it
    now.
    I wish you’d asked me
    about the little old lady – perhaps you want to know her name? Well I can tell you
    now, because we’ve become such good pals. Lady Felicity Shadwell. She’s lovely really,
    but I do have a little problem with her dead fox.

    Romance Lives Forever
    features authors and new books. It has a blogger’s FAQ page with a downloadable
    guide and optional interviews. Readers can follow via Google Friend Connect,
    Networked Blogs, Bloglovin’, Linky Followers, email, an RSS feed, and there’s a
    blog button readers and authors can grab.. RLF takes up to three images per
    article, so authors can share previous books. The blog uses author or publisher
    names as SEO tags on posts, and author Twitter handles in the titles. The site
    is broadcast over Triberr with a potential reach of over a million readers via
    its Twitter-linked network. Twitter mentions are also gathered in several
    Paper.li ezines, giving the author an additional opportunity for promotion. At
    the end of each year, a pdf version of the blog is available for readers to
    download and share.
    The Romance Lives Forever
    Paper.li ezine
    features guest authors on its front page every day. The Yahoo Group Romance Lives Forever has
    nearly 1200 members, and is Kayelle’s private group. It is open once a month to
    authors who have been guests on the blog. Guests get one day to post info,
    share news, book releases, offer contests, and so on. For that day, the group
    is open and members are allowed to reply and take active part. It’s like an
    old-fashioned chat, where you can share and answer questions. Only authors who
    have reserved the day are allowed to post, so it’s exclusive. There is no
    charge. You can read more about it here: http://is.gd/rlfauthorday
