    Interview with Destiny Booze

    Why did you write
    this book?
    The idea for this book came to me over a decade ago in a
    dream. I started writing this story in my head way back then. It’s amazing I
    kept it all in there for this long! Ha ha.
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    Romantic Suspense! I want an intense conflict, continuing
    suspense, romance, and a happy ending.
    Who is your favorite
    character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Just one? Oh boy, I’m not sure… Maybe Wonder Woman. Doesn’t
    every girl secretly want to fly?
    What are you working
    on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    I am currently working on a romantic thriller about a deaf
    girl whose sister goes missing. It is a really fun and exciting challenge to
    write. I’m loving it. It does not yet have a title. Any ideas are appreciated! J
    Please tell us about
    your latest book
    .
    Eric Teague is moments away from
    making history. Thanks to him, the world of gaming is about to experience
    technology like it has never seen before. When his new establishment, Against
    the Game, opens, playing video games will be a thing of the past.
    At Against the Game, players
    experience the game as if it is real in a virtual reality. There is no TV, no
    console with wires and controllers. The game feels absolutely real. Kids get so
    much more than puppeteering cartoonish characters through a game of basketball.
    No matter the person’s health or physical ability, they will be the characters
    in a world without limits and they will experience what it is really like to
    compete as a pro ball player.
    During test trials, kids called
    Against the Game “amazing,” “fantastic,” and
    “miraculous.” One kid declared it was the best experience of his
    life. Indeed, everyone knew it was going to be something big enough to alter
    the whole gaming industry. For Eric, it meant a long awaited dream come true.
    But, all too soon, reality breaks
    into Eric’s moment when something goes terribly wrong. He and his best friend
    Lacey get trapped in the virtual reality of the supercomputer behind his
    establishment. It is definitely no longer just a game. The danger is real. The
    consequences are real. And, Eric and Lacey’s fight for survival is more than
    real.
    To live, they must win, and to win,
    they must overcome the biggest challenge of all: to trust and to love.

  • 5 Easy Questions,  Paranormal

    Tricia Schneider author of The Witch’s Kiss @TriciaSchneider #RLFblog #paranormalromance

    Tricia Schneider author of The Witch’s Kiss answers five easy
    questions to help readers get to know her better.

    Author Bio

    Tricia Schneider is an author of paranormal and gothic
    romance. Before the supernatural took possession of her pen, she worked for several
    years in a Waldenbooks store as Assistant Manager and bookseller. Since the
    closing of the bookstore, she now writes full-time while raising her 4 young
    children. She lives with her musician husband and 2 neurotic cats in the coal
    country of Pennsylvania
    What’s your favorite down-home
    family style meal?
    I’m the fortunate wife of a man who loves to cook. Since I
    tend to burn everything I try to create in the kitchen, this situation works
    well for us. Marc makes many amazing dishes, but my favorite is grilled salmon
    with a baked sweet potato. He also makes delicious meatloaf and lasagna,
    too. 
    Describe the perfect vacation.
    About 10 years ago, my husband and I visited some friends in
    Germany. We fell in love with area so much that we considered moving there.
    Since we didn’t get to see everything that was on our list during that trip, my
    perfect vacation would be going back there. Hiking trails in the Black Forest
    to visit the castles that are nestled in the hills, spending a relaxing day
    visiting the Marktplatz while eating an ice cream cone, sipping Hefeweissbier and
    people watching at a village café, and walking the cobblestone streets with my
    husband’s hand in mine are a few of the things I’d like to do.
    Tell us about your
    favorite toy as a child.
    My bicycle. It was something I had wanted for years. When I
    was about 9, my grandmother bought one for me. I practiced riding up and down
    the driveway every day, falling and scraping my arms and knees (my parents saw
    no need for protective pads or helmets back in the ‘80s). Every time I fell,
    I’d get right back up and try again. I was so happy when I finally learned how
    to ride. I spent countless hours riding my bike every summer for years.
    What are your hobbies?
    I like crafts. Cross-stitch and crotchet are my favorite,
    usually in the winter while watching hockey games on TV with Marc. I’m also an
    amateur genealogist. Researching my family tree has been a hobby of mine since
    I was a teenager and first learned from my grandmother that I had American
    Indian ancestry. On my search for my native ancestors, I also wanted to
    discover where my red hair came from when both of my parents were born with
    dark brown.
    When you read for pleasure,
    what kind of books do you choose?
    I read anything. Really. If it has words, I’ll read it.
    While romance has always been my favorite genre since I was a teen, I also
    enjoy reading urban fantasy and classical literature. My favorite authors are
    Kelley Armstrong, Gayle Wilson, Julia Quinn, Daphne du Maurier, Jane Austen and
    Charlotte Bronte.

  • 5 Easy Questions

    Rebecca Hunter author of Stockholm Diaries, Caroline #RLFblog #NewAdult

    Rebecca Hunter author of Stockholm Diaries, Caroline answers
    five easy questions to help readers get to know her better.

    Author Bio

    Rebecca
    is a writer, editor and translator who has always loved to read and travel.
    Though she earned a Bachelor’s in English and a Master’s in English Education,
    most of what she learned about writing romance has come from other sources.
    Rebecca has, over the years, called many places home, including Michigan, where
    she grew up, New York City, San Francisco, and, of course, Stockholm, Sweden.
    After their most recent move from Sweden back to the San Francisco Bay Area,
    she and her husband assured each other they’ll never move again.
    Well, probably not.
    What is your go-to meal
    when you dine out?
    We live in California, so we eat a lot of taqueria food. A
    lot. My favorite is a carnitas burrito with black beans, extra pico de gallo
    and guacamole, sometimes split with my husband, sometimes all for myself. If
    we’re “going out,” I’d choose something with a little nicer atmosphere, but Cal-Mex
    is definitely our go-to.
    Who is your “book
    boyfriend” (that hottie you read about and drool over)?
    Hmm… that might be Lisa Kleypas’s Derek Craven from Dreaming
    of You. We watch Craven struggle hard with his past and the idea that he is
    incapable of love. He resists Sara as long as he can, but unlike many
    historicals the couple is happily together by the middle of the book. Craven is
    clearly devoted to Sara, but the rest of the book is about Derek’s attempts to
    adjust and to let himself love.
    When compared to contemporary romance heroes, a historical
    hero can be a little more over-the-top, a little crasser or more hardened or
    melodramatic, his history a little more fantastical. I think this is because a
    reader like me is more willing to suspend disbelief when the setting isn’t
    connected to anything in my own experiences. This is especially true of Craven,
    whose past I probably would never accept from a contemporary hero but somehow
    feel comfortable with in a historical hero!
    Describe the perfect vacation.
    The answer to this changes rather frequently, but these days
    I’ve been fanaticizing about week or two in a cottage on a white-sand beach in
    Hawaii. In front of us would be some sort of hidden break with steady, rolling
    waves where my husband and I could surf. On the beach, we’d have a canopied
    swinging futon bed (something I saw on a vacation ad that stuck with me!) where
    we’d lie and read after a long surf session. Sometimes our two kids are with us
    on this fantasy vacation, playing in the sand and swimming, and sometimes it’s
    just my husband and me…
    What are your hobbies?
    Of course, reading has always been one of my favorite
    pastimes. Beyond that, I love to hike and surf, but most of all, I love to
    spend time with friends and family doing pretty much anything. I’m an
    extrovert, but I also thrive on extended periods of time along, a less common
    combination in a writer if I’m to believe what I read. To balance my quiet
    hours alone, I make sure to plan in time for walks and coffees, especially with
    other writer friends.
    When you read for pleasure,
    what kind of books do you choose?
    I read a lot of romance, both for pleasure and for learning,
    but that’s only a recent development. Before I began writing romance, I read
    literary fiction almost exclusively. But there were times when I felt too busy
    or too scattered to invest myself in literary fiction, so during those periods
    I wouldn’t read at all.
    Now, after many years, I’m finally finding my own personal
    balance! I read both romance and literary fiction regularly, depending on my
    mood, along with some occasional fantasy, sci-fi, poetry, or mystery that
    friends recommend. I’ve been a member of a book club for many, many years, and
    that ensures I read at least one book of literary fiction or non-fiction per
    month that I didn’t find on my own. Plus, I have elementary-age kids, so I read
    plenty of middle-grade fiction as well, sometimes more enthusiastically than
    others.  

    About the Book

    Title Stockholm Diaries, Caroline
    Genre New Adult/Contemporary
    Author Rebecca Hunter
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    A Swedish pro hockey player with a
    rough reputation meets the American girl next door in a steamy twist of travel
    and adventure. Will they be able to overcome his dark past and her uncertain
    future to turn their sensual nights into something more?
    Photographer Caroline Mendoza finally sheds her safe life in Michigan for
    adventure and a fresh start, and her first stop is Sweden. But Stockholm
    suddenly becomes more than just a casual stopover when Caroline discovers her
    reclusive next-door neighbor is ex-Red Wings player Niklas Almquist, whose
    high-profile alpha bad-boy image, both on and off the ice, has followed him
    back to Sweden.
    While Niklas’s darker side draws
    her to him, she knows the sensible decision is to move on from Stockholm before
    she gets too attached. Her time in Stockholm is running out. She must choose
    between what is safe and what her heart tells her is right. Is she strong
    enough to take the risk?

  • Character Interviews,  Historical

    Avery Fox from The Duke’s Daughter by @sashacottman #RLFblog #historicalromance

    Character Interview with Avery Fox

    This interview is designed for your hero or heroine to tell
    readers about himself or herself. Answer the questions as if the character were
    talking.
    Tell us about
    yourself, please.
    ‘My name is Avery Fox, I am in my late twenties, but
    considering I lied about my age to join the army as a young lad you will have
    to forgive me if I don’t reveal my exact age.’
    What inner doubt
    causes you the most difficulty?
    ‘It would take a special woman to want to love me. I don’t
    know that such a woman even exists. Having never known love myself, I am not certain
    I am capable of feeling such an emotion.’
    In the story world
    your author created, explain what it is you fear most and why.
    ‘I fear that the world will discover I am a man without
    honor, that I am no war hero. I took a life and personally gained from it.’
    Tell us about your
    significant other, that person who makes living worthwhile.
    ‘Beautiful, kind but unattainable. She is a duke’s daughter
    and I just happen to have suddenly found myself in line for an earldom. There
    can never be a future for the two of us together.’
    What is your family
    like?
    ‘I don’t have one, though I do envy those who have a loving
    family. It is not something I have ever known.’
    What special skills
    do you rely on?
    ‘Expert marksman. Former army sniper. I am also a proficient
    sketch artist and painter. There was a lot of downtime in the army so you have
    to find something to amuse yourself.’
    If someone from your
    past showed up, who would you NOT want it to be, and why?
    My older brother Thaxter, he made my life a living nightmare
    as a child, which is why I ran away from home at such a young age. Fortunately,
    there is little chance of ever meeting him again.

    About the Writer

    Sasha Cottman’s debut novel was
    published in 2013. Letter from a Rake, was a Romantic Book of the Year finalist
    in 2014 and won the Book Junkies Choice Award in 2014.
    Her books are centred on the theme
    of love, honour and family. Her current book series, The Duke of Strathmore,
    covers the story of the love lives of a group of siblings and their cousins.
    Sasha’s second novel An Unsuitable
    Match, was a four time ARRA finalist in 2015. The third book in the Duke of
    Strathmore series, The Duke’s Daughter, was released in August 2015.
    Sasha divides her time between the
    city of Melbourne, Australia and her family beach retreat at Torquay. She and
    her family have discovered all the places the family cat disappears to whenever
    it realises they are about to head home on a Sunday night.
    Before accidently enrolling in a
    course for romance writers a number of years ago, she had always had a love of
    history. While her writing career may appear at odds with her professional
    career as a finance executive, it means she can spot a poorly written company
    board report at twenty feet.
    A self-confessed ‘hopeless’ cook,
    she writes a blog, In the Regency Kitchen, where she recreates recipes from the
    Regency/Georgian era. Her family have so far managed to survive being the test
    subjects of her culinary efforts.
    The little time she has left during
    the week and weekends is spent trying to beat her husband at Fitbit challenges
    and trying to find where the pair to that sock really went.
    What was your biggest
    challenge in writing this book?
    Finding time with a full time career is always a challenge.
    This book actually wrote much of itself (I know that sounds odd, but I am a
    plotter and this book had less planning than any of my other books).
    Why did you choose
    this character for the interview today?
    Avery Fox was a character that demanded he be written. I
    loved exploring what it must be like to live in a world where no one has ever
    loved you and then meet someone capable of unconditional acceptance and love.
    Are any sequels
    planned for this book?
    This is book 3 in my Duke of Strathmore series. I am
    currently writing book 4.
    What genre(s) would
    you like to write that you haven’t tried yet?
    Fantasy fiction with all its world building would be
    brilliant.
    What would your
    readers be surprised to learn about you?
    I spend my days working with facts and numbers while
    managing 40 staff of a listed company before going home to write about the
    lives and loves of imaginary people who live in England 200 years in the past.
    Why should readers
    who haven’t picked up one of your books before give this one a try?
    If you want a happily ever after story, a laugh and the
    warmth of reading about characters and the family who love them, then my books
    are for you.

    About the Book

    Title The Duke’s Daughter
    Genre Historical Romance
    Author Sasha Cottman
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
    When handsome army officer Avery Fox unexpectedly inherits
    a fortune, he instantly becomes one of the season’s most eligible bachelors.
    More accustomed to the battlefield, he has no patience with the naive
    debutantes who fill the ballrooms of London.
    Honest and impetuous Lady Lucy Radley is a breath of fresh
    air, guiding him through the season and helping him to avoid any traps. So when
    Avery is left with little option but to marry Lucy, he can’t help but feel he’s
    been manipulated. Nor can he shake the feeling that a duke’s daughter should be
    out of his reach.
    From the wildly beautiful Scottish Highlands to the
    elegant soirees of Paris, Avery and Lucy go on a journey that is full of
    surprises for them both.  But will their feelings for each other be strong
    enough to overcome the circumstances of their marriage and survive the ghosts
    of Avery’s past?

  • Contemporary

    The Thin Person Inside a new #contemporary romance by @RochelleWeber #RLFblog

    This quick interview includes info about the author, and
    introduces the story.

    About the Author

    Rochelle Weber is a Navy veteran
    with a BA in Writing from Columbia College in Chicago. Her novels Rock Bound
    and Rock Crazy are available in both e-book and print. Her third book, The Thin
    Person Inside, is available at MuseItUp Publishing, Inc. Ms. Weber edits for
    Jupiter Gardens Press, The Author’s Secret, and publishes the Marketing for
    Romance Writers Newsletter, winner of the 2013 Preditors and Editors Readers’
    Poll for Best Writers’ Resource. She also started Roses and Thorns Reviews
    and currently has two partners.
    Ms. Weber battles bi-polar
    disorder, quipping, “You haven’t lived until you’ve been the only woman on the
    locked ward at the VA.” Her song, “It’s Not My Fault,” won a gold medal in the
    National Veterans Creative Arts Competition. She has lost over a hundred pounds
    and kept it off for over three years. She lives in Round Lake Beach, Illinois.

    Interview with Rochelle Weber

    Why did you write this book?
    The Thin Person Inside: Kristen
    Jensen never expected to fall in love when she got help for her morbid
    obesity—let alone with a rock star. I started to write a book about a secretary
    who meets a rock star. Originally they met at an AA meeting, but I just
    couldn’t get the conflict there. First he relapsed. Then she did. Then I
    decided a story about a person in recovery relapsing was just too trite. Then I
    decided to put it in the future and have them meet in Rockton on the Moon. Maybe
    the conflict could be that he lived on Earth. Then they were going to honeymoon
    up there. Nothing worked.
    Then someone said, “You should
    write about your weight loss.” Bingo! I changed Kristen from an alcoholic to a
    food addict, described my experience in treatment, even copied my homework from
    treatment, and the whole thing just flowed. I decided Sean should lose his hand
    because I already had a hero with crushed legs in another book. I’m not a heavy
    metal fan, so I didn’t know there was a drummer out there who lost an arm and
    came back to the band. I met a veteran who lost his hand in a farm accident and
    played piano, and that’s where I got the idea Sean could manage keyboards with
    one hand.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    Do I have to choose one? I love
    sci-fi, mystery/suspense/thriller, sweet romance, some paranormal—pretty much
    everything but erotica and BDSM. I find erotica boring and BDSM just isn’t my
    thing. I just don’t get the concept of deriving pleasure from pain. I’m a wimp.
    I don’t want to feel pain, and I’m empathetic so I don’t want to read about
    anyone feeling pain.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Again, must I choose only one? I
    think I can narrow it down to three. 
    Professor McGonagle and Molly Weasley from the Harry Potter series, and
    Maureen Johnson Smith, mother of Woodrow Wilson Smith, aka Lazarus Long, created
    by Robert A. Heinlein. All three are strong, independent women who protect the
    people they love and stand up for what they believe in.
    What are you working on at the moment, and what will see from you in
    coming months?
    My current WIP is languishing
    somewhat, as I’m busy with promoting my new release and various editing
    projects. It’s an historical book set during the Vietnam Era called Full Circle
    about a girl who dates a bad-boy biker wanna-be.  She thinks he’s dumped her when he stops
    showing up, not realizing he’s been arrested and gone into the Marines. She
    joins the Navy and becomes a Hospital Corpwave and meets him again when he’s
    admitted to her hospital after being injured in Vietnam. I guess I seem to be
    forming a pattern of injured heroes. I’m running out of body parts to maim. ;-/
    Please tell us about your latest book.
    Kristen Jensen, a Navy veteran,
    tips the scale at a crippling three hundred pounds. In desperation she asks her
    VA therapist if she can go into addictions treatment with the guys where she
    meets Sean. With black hair, blue eyes, and a perfect body she figures the
    reason he’s speaking to her is that she’s the only other person in the room.
    The Haystack told their lead
    singer, Sean Wesley, to get clean or get out. But none of the big-name clinics
    worked. Sean’s a Desert Storm vet, so they send him to a VA in the middle of
    nowhere. When he meets Kristen the first day, he thinks it’s tragic such a
    pretty girl’s trapped in a huge body. And her honesty, intelligence, and
    bravery are even more impressing. Sean’s drawn to Kristen, but she’s had
    decades to build layers of defense.

    3.5M readers via its Twitter-linked network. Twitter mentions are also gathered
    in several Paper.li ezines, giving the author additional opportunities for promotion.

    its front page every day.
