Why did you write this book?I traveled to Greece a few years ago. I had an amazing time, my
husband and I hired a sail boat and we explored the Ionian Islands. Finding
deserted coves, dropping anchor, swimming with dolphins then cracking open a
bottle of wine and feasting on bread and cheese was amazing. We really did feel
like we’d landed in paradise. I’d been looking forward to writing a story in
this setting ever since so when the idea of an older woman/younger man novel
came to me I decided to send my characters on the holiday of a lifetime to
Cephalonia.What is your favorite genre to read?I read lots, but if I had to pick a favourite probably
contemporary male/female. I like menage a trois too, to read and to write.Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your
own)?Oh Mr Darcy!!!!! I adore his brooding, sexy ways and his clipped
dialogue that’s loaded with meaning.What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in
coming months?I’ve just finished a short BDSM story that will feature in Totally
Bound’s Over the Knee anthology in the autumn. It’s about the Victorian kink of
‘ginger-figging’ – Google it! I’m also working on a menage novel that includes
some hot military men who are into each other as well as a very lucky lady.Please tell us about your latest book.Getting something unexpected can be a shock, but it can also be a
wonderful treat, if you allow yourself to indulge that is!Kay is bubbling with excitement. She’s booked a sailing holiday of
a lifetime in Greece with a man she’s fallen for hook, line and sinker. They
met on the Internet— She’s from Oxford, he’s from Washington State. She’s a
business lecturer, he runs his own successful business.They’re perfect for each other, and she can’t wait to meet him and
spend time in and out of his bed allowing him to seduce her for real and not
just with softly spoken words over the telephone.But when she arrives in the idyllic port of Fiscardo she’s in for
a shock. There’s a reason Sullivan’s photographs were grainy and it’s not
because he’s sporting a pot belly or balding as she’d suspected, it’s because
he’s over a decade younger than her and could rival any Greek god in the looks
department. What’s more his sex appeal and lust for her is off the scale.Should Kay take what she can with her ‘toy boy’ and have some fun
in the sun or hop on the first plane back to England? It’s a tricky decision
for a woman who believed she couldn’t be surprised by life any more.About the Book

accomplished his dream of working as a public school teacher. When offered the

sexy older man, ignited a spark inside Brandon he’d never had before.Though five years have passed since the death of his lover, Dr.
Sebastian “Tash” Weber has no interest in relationships or love. But

life is tough, there is always a happy ending just around the corner. I started
reading traditional historical romances when I was a teenager, then life and
law school got in the way. It wasn’t until I picked up a copy of Bertrice Small
and became swept away to Queen Elizabeth’s court that my interest in romance
novels became renewed.But somewhere along the way, my tastes shifted. While I still
enjoys a juicy Historical romance, I began experimenting with newer, more
cutting edge genres and discovered the world of Male/Male romance. Once I
picked up her first, I became so enamored of the authors, the character-driven
stories and the overwhelming emotion of the books, I knew I wanted to write my
own.I live in New York City with my husband and two children and
hopefully soon a cat of my own. My day begins with a lot of caffeine and ends
with a glass or two of red wine. I practice law but daydream of a time when I
can sit by a beach somewhere and write beautiful stories of men falling in
love. Although there is bound to be angst along the way, a Happily Ever After
is always guaranteed.Author Social MediaWebsite http://felicestevens.comPinterest https://www.pinterest.com/felicestevens/Amazon Author Page http://www.amazon.com/Felice-Stevens/e/B00MVNEDB6 -
Philippa Marlowmellow from Mallow Mayhem by @Lisa_Haman #RLFblog #parody
Interview with Philippa Marlowmellow
This interview is designed for your hero or heroine to tell
readers about himself or herself.Tell us about
yourself, please.Well…I’m Philippa Marlowmellow. I’m a private detective. I
live in Mallowtown. I work and live in the Pink.What is the Pink? Did
you grow up there?Oh no. I didn’t grow up in the Pink. The Pink is the seedier
side of Mallowtown. It’s a dangerous place to be. No one really chooses to live
in the Pink. You just kind of end up there.How did you end up in
the Pink?I had a great time growing up. I lived in the burbs, went to
the right schools. Had the right friends. When I was in college, my roommate
and best friend disappeared. They found her body in the Pink. She was…she
was…well, anyway, I changed my major from education to criminal justice, but I
couldn’t leave her murder alone. I had to find out what happened. And I did. I
quit school and got my detective’s license. I live in the Pink because that’s
where most of the mallows need help.Authors call what you
want but cannot have “the conflict” — what is yours?Hmmm…that’s a hard question. Sometimes I want to go back to
my other life and unsee the things I’ve seen. I have a love/hate relationship
with the Pink. Sometimes I want to go back to the suburbs, live in a nice
graham cracker house with a white sugar picket fence, marry a successful mallow
and have 2.5 chicks, but then there are the mallows that need my help. Those who
don’t have anyone to look out for them; it’s hard.What can you not do (but
need to do) during this story?I think I did everything I could do during this story. It’s
hard not to be a bunny when trying to get into stripper joints, since chicks
don’t make good strippers. I don’t think we’re limber enough.What inner doubt
causes you the most difficulty?That I will miss something in an investigation and some
mallow gets hurt.In the story world
your author created, explain what it is you fear most and why.That I will lose my sense of self. I don’t want to be that
jaded chick who thinks the world is an awful place. I’ve seen some pretty bad
things, but the world is still a beautiful place.Tell us about your
significant other, that person who makes living worthwhile.Right now I don’t have one…although there is this chick at
the MBI who is really cute.What would that
person say about you?Right now this mallow would say I’m crazy and likes to get
into trouble.What is your family
like?I have a great family. My dad is a banker and my mom is a
stay-at-home mom. We were pretty boring. We were that typical suburban family.
I have a sister, which is good. My parents worry and they can dote on her, the
normal one. (she laughs.). She had a temper, and when she blew…oh my. My dad
used her craft scissors to cut up some licorice rope. You don’t mess with my
mom’s craft scissors. I thought the roof was going to come off the house. It
was short lived and they made up. My parents never stayed mad at each other. They
encouraged us to be our best. They may not like what I do, but they support me
the best they can.What special skills
do you rely on?My mallow senses. They tingle and I know something’s not
right. They’ve kept me out of trouble and help when I need to investigate
something further.If someone from your
past showed up, who would you NOT want it to be, and why?I don’t want to be a cliché and say Big Bunny, because he’s
nothing to me. I don’t think I have anyone that I wouldn’t want to show up.
Like I said, I grew up in a pretty boring suburban setting.Why are you happy (or
not happy) with the way your story ended?Why wouldn’t I be happy with the way my story ended? I love
the way it all came together. I was the heroine, along with Jenny. The bad
mallows went to jail, Easter Bunny was saved and all is well with the world…at
the moment.About the Writer
Lisa Haman lives in the suburbs of Atlanta with her
wonderful husband, two beautiful children, and two cats, O.C. and Koko. Koko
loves to help her to write on occasion by sitting on the keyboard of her
laptop. Lisa plays electric bass, aka Kitty Blue, with the praise band at her
church. Although she doesn’t design her own patterns, Lisa creates beautiful
pictures with counted cross stitch, which more often than not go to family and
friends. Lisa’s interest in the paranormal fuels her imagination. She likes to
scare herself silly with reality ghost series on television. She likes to write
wherever her imagination takes her, but focuses on young adult fiction. She
also is working on her first paranormal series for young adults yet to be titled.
Her first novella, Fat Farm, is a
work of speculative fiction, takes us on a journey where beauty is important
and being overweight sends you off to a fat farm, where you may or may not
return. Lisa’s favorite quote is from Robert Frost. “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, and
that has made all the difference.” Lisa takes the road less travelled in her
stories.What was your biggest
challenge in writing this book?I originally wrote this as a writing exercise that got away
from me. The story contained all the original candy names. I learned I couldn’t
use those names because of trademark issues, so coming up with other names for
the candy was tough.Why did you choose
this character for the interview today?I think Philippa is a neat character. I watch a lot of shows
like NCIS, Elementary, and I like how they solve crimes. I like to know what is
going on. I’m kind of nosy and unfortunately my sense of right and wrong won’t
let me get into people’s business, so I let Philippa do it for me.Are any sequels
planned for this book?Yes. She’s a fun character and I want to find out more about
her.What would your
readers be surprised to learn about you?During Christmas I will watch every version of the movie of
A Christmas Carol I can find. It could be the good ones with Alastair Sim and
Patrick Stewart, to the cheesy ones, and the really bad ones. The funny thing
is I’ve never read the book. It’s on my to-read list.Why should readers
who haven’t picked up one of your books before give this one a try?It’s fun. It’s total escapism. It’s a fun detective story
that is off the wall and cool.Is there anything
you’d like to say to your readers?I’m glad you are out there. I’m a reader and have loved
books all my life. My goal as a writer is to tell a good story and have people
enjoy them. I hope you enjoy mine.About the Book

A Fading Amaranth by @Shauna_A_Knight #RLFblog #PNR
Shauna Aura Knight author of A Fading Amaranth answers five easy
questions to help readers get to know her better.Author Bio
Shauna Aura Knight
An artist, author, and presenter, Shauna’s work is inspired by magic and
awakening mythic imagination. She’s a fantasy artist and author of paranormal
romance and urban fantasy including Werewolves in the Kitchen, Werewolves with
Chocolate, A Winter Knight’s Vigil, and The Truth Upon Her Lips. Her
mythic artwork and designs are used for magazine covers, book covers, and
illustrations.She travels nationally offering
workshops on the transformative arts of community leadership, facilitation,
dreamwork, and personal transformation, and is the author of numerous articles
and books on those subjects. http://www.shaunaauraknight.comWhat is your go-to meal
when you dine out?Barbecue. I discovered that I have a number of food
intolerances that lead to brain fog, exhaustion, and depression, and I need my
brain at 100% to write and paint. Thus, pasta, pizza, and ice cream are all off
the menu. But barbecue…oh barbecue. Particularly brisket. I also like a good
ribeye. And fresh-squeezed orange juice is kind of like my ice cream these
days.Tell us about your
favorite toy as a child.Star Wars toys, particularly Luke Skywalker. I used to build
elaborate rebel bases out of mud and sticks. Probably won’t surprise you that I
also liked Legos a lot too! When I was thirteen, I started my own small
crafting business to save up money for a sword. It wasn’t quite a lightsaber,
but it was close enough.What are your hobbies?The word “hobby” and the word “work” definitely overlap for
me. I’m an artist and an author, and writing and painting are both things that
I do for enjoyment as well as professionally. One of the things I used to do
for fun is build replica Star Wars scenery for parties. I met up with a bunch
of Star Wars fans years ago and we started throwing parties at sci-fi
conventions; I was in charge of decorating the suite. Each year we’d get more
elaborate. Hoth, Dagobah Swamp, the Emperor’s Throne Room, the Trash Compactor,
Jabba’s Palace, and Cloud City and the Carbonite Chamber. For a while I had a
life-size replica of Jabba the Hutt living in my apartment. If anyone wants
pictures, just contact me, I have them on my portfolio.When you read for pleasure,
what kind of books do you choose?Definitely paranormal romance, particularly my go-to authors
like Emma Holly, Sherrilyn Kenyon, and Karen Marie Moning. I’m also fond of a
good epic fantasy series. An old favorite of mine is the Dragonriders of Pern
by Anne McCaffrey.What kinds of things do
you read when you’re researching a new book?I love the internet. There was one day where I was
researching what I should call underwear in the 1940’s, how long it takes a
hunter to butcher a deer, and researching certain landmarks in New York City. In
fact, Google maps even allowed me to get both birds-eye and on-the-ground views
of Central Park, which allowed me to plan out a fight scene. I have another
vampire romance where the characters are questing for the Grail, so I have a
stack of books on Grail lore, but I was also online researching different types
of meteorites since some legends hold that the Grail is an emerald that fell
from the sky. In other words, I’m a big time geek when I’m doing research for a
new book!About the Book
