    both an accountant and a programmer. Once her kids were born, she decided to
    give her dream of being a writer a try and loves to incorporate the heartaches,
    headaches and fun of being a mother and a woman into my books. 
    She is now working on finishing her Family Tree series…Summer’s Growth and
    Fallen Leaves. (Paranormal Romantic Suspense) The last two Winter Wonders and
    Spring Rebirth will come out in the next two years.

    the country. She hasn’t hit every state, but she hopes to someday. You might

    Meet Blue Trace from Outside the Lines #romance @allyabishop #RLFblog

    When you do something effortlessly and people commend you
    continuously, you have found your gift. That’s what I tell people all the time. And it’s true. 
    I’m Ally Bishop. I get story. I always have. I started writing when I was eight on a
    Smith Corona (the electronic kind — I’m not THAT old). I wrote stories in
    every spiral notebook I had. Eventually, I graduated to a Mac (yes, I’m one of
    THOSE people). I imagined new worlds, emotional conflicts, and HEAs while I
    waited at stoplights or wandered the grocery store. But here’s the thing: I
    didn’t just dream it up and write it down — I critiqued what I read. I knew
    when ideas were good, and when they stunk. I ran writing groups, judged
    creative contests, and eventually got two graduate degrees in writing. That’s
    right: I love it that much.
    So here I am, years later, writing kickass heroines and devastating
    good guys, along with some mystery and vampires thrown in (I promise: THEY’RE
    COMING). And what’s really cool? I do what I love. Wanna write a success story
    for your life: I promise you, that’s it. Do what you love. And hopefully, you
    can make a living at it too. That’s the golden ticket, Charlie.
    And chocolate doesn’t hurt, either…
    About the Book
    Title Outside the Lines
    Genre Erotic Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Don’t take up space.
    Don’t talk too loud.
    Don’t tell anyone.
    Blue. I’ve always
    been the problem child. My name alone should have warned anyone with a half a
    mind that I’d be trouble. Who’s named for the broken crayon nobody wants?
    Professor Rhys
    Kennison should have seen me coming a mile away, and I should have known better
    than to fall for someone so far out of my league. But his touch is like fire
    and his taste…like the finest chocolate. What woman could resist that
    combination?
    We’re headed for
    disaster, though—after all, it’s what I know best. No matter how hard I try, I
    can’t stop destroying anyone who gets too close. And Rhys doesn’t understand.
    How could he? When I don’t even understand myself?
    Introducing Blue Trace
    Welcome to Romance Lives Forever! We’re happy to
    have you here today.
    Name: Blue Trace
    Age: Twenty-eight
    Gender: Female
    Birthplace: Bakertown, PA, USA
    Profession: That’s up for debate
    Ethnicity/Species (if not human): Some days…
    Describe
    your body and build, skin tone, height and weight. Include any unique features
    such as dimples, freckles, or scars.
    5’2”, sunburnable, the ol’ string-bean
    build—nothing like my sexy sisters, Lux and Zi. :sigh: I’m super freckled,
    thanks to my frizzy red hair, and my eyes are dishwater green (someone once
    described them as “mossy,” so I’m going with that).
    Who
    is the significant other in your life?
    Currently, no one. But I’ve been seeing
    someone…well, “seeing” is a relative term, isn’t it? Let’s just say, he’s
    definitely not my type, and there’s no way this can ever work.
    Please
    tell us a little about yourself.
    Oy…not much to tell. I just got laid-off—that’s
    the nice term for it, so I’m trying to figure out my place in life. My sister
    Lux insists I should get into art, but I’m not sure. I’m not very good, despite
    her insistence otherwise. She’s biased.
    Life’s a mess right now. Not as bad as it’s ever
    been…but that’s not comforting, to be honest. Whenever I’m around, it seems
    like things can slide backwards pretty fast.
    Still…I’m repairing my relationship with my
    sisters, I’m trying to figure out my skills, and at least Dr. Rhys Kennison is
    crazy-sexy. If you’re going to go down in flames, you might as well make it hot
    enough to really burn, right?
    If
    we could only hear your voice (but not see you) what characteristic would
    identify you?
    God help you all. Ugh. My voice is, um, normal,
    I guess? I hate hearing it on voicemail, but I guess everyone does. Plus, I
    guess you’re kind of doing that now, right—“hearing” me without seeing me? Not
    sure I’m doing very well.
    Please
    tell us about your education.
    Ah, well, you can read about that above. I’m not
    good in school. I’m not really sure why—I try. My teachers said I was lazy, and
    I ended up on the “Morons and Mayhem” track in high school—you know, the
    “remedial” classes. And even there, I struggled, though I eventually passed.
    Now I’m taking Pre-Algebra, and even that feels
    too hard—the letters don’t look right. It’s like they move around or something.
    I don’t know.
    I know I’m failing, and my sister says I should
    get tutoring. And I will say, if tutoring were always like the last time, I’d
    be an A-student! ;) But that’s a world of trouble, and I’m trying really hard
    to get life right this time.
    Do
    you get by, live comfortably, live extravagantly?
    Answer D: survive?
    Are
    any of your skills a source of pride or embarrassment, and if so, which ones
    and why?
    I don’t, um, really have any, to be honest. My
    sister Lux insists I do, and she thinks I should take another look at the whole
    art thing, but I’m not that good. Not really. And I don’t know how to use
    Photoshop or anything like that.
    Mind you, if I told her that, she’d immediately
    pay for classes and buy me computer. She’s like that, and I love her for it.
    Among other things.
    What
    kinds of things do you always carry (in pockets or purse)?
    Cash, my bank card, and my little Yoda keychain.
    Zi bought that for me when I was…eight, maybe? It was originally one of those
    candy dispensers—Pez, I think they’re called—but the dispenser part broke off,
    so I threaded silky bracelet thread through it and I carry that. Speaking of, I
    always have one of those silly luck bracelets on my arm—the kind you buy at
    dollar stores and wear until they fall off. I don’t know why—I just do.
    What
    is your family like?
    Complicated. My mom just died, and she
    was…mentally ill. I’m still coming to terms with that—I didn’t handle her death
    well. And my grandmother’s a controlling b—um, *witch*.
    My sisters, though, and their partners are great
    and very supportive. They have a lot of friends I don’t know, so I’m just
    starting to get comfortable enough to hang out with everyone. 
    Do
    you see morality as black-and-white, or with shades of gray?
    My *life* is a shade of gray. I’d be a hypocrite
    to look at others any other way.
    How
    do others perceive you based upon looks, and is this assumption accurate?
    I’m small and skinny, so most people think that
    I need to be protected. Which…if we’re being honest, used to be the case. I’m
    tougher than I look though.
    I’m not ugly—I mean, I got lucky in the sense
    that I have a decent face and a little makeup does wonders for my eyes. But I’m
    not curvy, so guys don’t really notice me all that often.
    If
    someone from your past showed up, who would you most want it to be, and why?
    My best friend in middle school. When my sisters
    and I were put into foster care, we moved into a different school district, and
    I lost touch with her.
    If
    someone from your past showed up, who would you most NOT want it to be, and
    why?
    My ex-boyfriend. I don’t have many…I’m not a
    commitment kind of girl. But he was a bit of a jerk most of the time.
    Can
    you keep a secret? Why or why not?
    Yes. I’ve never taken someone’s trust for granted.
    Someone like me doesn’t earn trust easily, so I try hard not to screw that up.
    What
    inner doubt causes you the most difficulty?
    I don’t know that I’m good at anything, to be
    honest. What if I’m destined to never be anything more than an underpaid server?
    What
    past event causes you the most fear?
    When I was younger, I was a cutter. I’m
    terrified I’ll do that again.
    What
    is your biggest need?
    Heck, if I knew that, I could have saved on
    years of therapy. Maybe to be seen? Valued?
    What
    are your biggest hopes and dreams?
    I’ve always wanted to have my own “thing.”
    Business, craft, hobby, something. I at least have my apartment. It’s the first
    place I’ve ever had on my own.
    What
    would help you face hardship and meet any challenge?
    I guess I already have it, though I don’t know
    what *it* is. I’m still standing, after all.
    If
    you could make any one thing happen, what would it be?
    To stop hurting my sisters. We’ve all been hurt
    enough by people who should have loved us. Yet I keep making things worse on
    them. I try so hard not to be the problem, but some days…that’s all I seem to
    serve up.
    When
    there is a setback, what doubt or flaw surfaces?
    That I deserve this. That’s it all I’m ever
    going to have.
    How
    do you express disappointment?
    In the past or now? Before…not very well. Let’s
    just say, the red hair wasn’t *enough* warning. But now, with my therapist’s
    help, I’m able to say what’s bothering me and talk through it.
    When
    (if) you lie or are upset, what gives you away?
    :chuckles: My skin. I blush at the drop of a
    hat.
    Who
    in your life has the power to hurt you the most and why?
    My sisters. I would do anything for them.
    What
    would you like people who hear your story to know?
    We are lovable, as-is. No magic pill or perfect
    body will ever be enough for someone who doesn’t think you’re enough as you are
    right now. I’m not perfect—far from it. I’m damaged, from the scars on my body
    to the holes in my memory. But I’m enough.
    I had to realize that on my own, and let me be
    enough for *me.* Then I can be enough for someone else too.
    You can do that, too, promise. It’s a sucky ride
    at first, but it gets better. <3

    New Romance by @ChrissyLaurence #RLFblog

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

    About Muffy Wilson

    Muffy Wilson, author of provocative romance about love, sex, hope and passion, was born in Texas to traditional parents. With two older brothers, she was the youngest, the family “princess,” indulged and pampered. Her father was a career Colonel and pilot in the U.S. Air Force which required the family to travel extensively. Muffy spent her formative years in Europe and ‘came of age’ in France which forged her joie de vivre and love for books, writing and education.

    ~ Live, Laugh, Love with Passion

    Chrissy Laurence is the cousin of Best Selling mystery writer CKLaurence. Chrissy has always wanted to write, but until her dear friend Muffy encouraged her to do so, she kept the manuscript she had started tucked away without moving forward. Thrilled with the opportunity to collaborate, she forwarded her manuscript to Muffy. It turned out that the two women were a perfect team. Yours to read and enjoy–thoroughly!

    Interview with Muffy Wilson

    Why did you write this book?

    One of my favorite mystery authors, C.K. Laurence (The Mystery of Jessica Benson) and I talked about collaborating on a book together. She wanted to dip her toe, so to speak, into the pool of erotica and erotic romance. We appreciated one another’s writing style and commitment to excellence and thought, if one is good—two is gonna be great! Chrissy (C.K.’s erotica pen name for her more sensitive mystery fans) had begun the outline and I started to work of fleshing out the story. I would finish a chapter and C.K. would edit and finalize the work. Worked like a charm and a year later—voila! We had Cheerleaders.

    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?

    Perry Mason by Erle Stanley Gardner. I know, sounds ridiculous but when my father was stationed in France in the USAF, we did not have a television. I had just turned thirteen and because of the entire series, I developed an insatiable appetite for mysteries, reading, books of any kind. I spent was free tiem I had at the base library checking out books to read throughout the week. I read everything in criminology: fiction and non-fiction. For a long time I wanted to be a criminologist or a medical examiner. It really shaped my love of reading and knowledge.

    What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?

    I just finished a 20,000 word story I titled Consenting Hearts for an anthology with 20 other well-known authors, Indulgence, sponsored by The Erotic Author’s Guild due out in February 2016. Right now, I am working on a labor of love, my father’s memoire titled, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the War: A Memoire of LtCol. Joe Lyle Jr USAF. My dad was one of the original Top Guns aka Tom Cruise in the early 1950’s and flew transport, fighters and helicopter aircraft from Alaska to France and Vietnam. He was a fine man, an officer and a gentleman and very patriotic, but like most of us, he had flaws, strengths and honor. I want his life to be memorialized for those that are his successors. He is the tenth in a long line of twelve generations of our family that have proudly served the United States of America in the military. After I finish that, I have two series to complete beginning with The Para-Portage of Emily (The Shadow Seduction Series) and Moonbeams of Unintended Consequences (Ribbons of Moonbeams Series) so I should be pretty busy this coming year.

    Please tell us about your latest book.

    NOTE: Although this novel is lighthearted, campy and full of laughter with an occasional tear and lots of sex, there is a chapter that deals with rage, drugs, rape and is extremely violent. This chapter is not meant to glorify aberrant non-consensual sex and/or drugs and violence in any way. It is a pivotal chapter that lives at point to give Cherie a reason to live, rather than be sucked further into the dark abyss into which she is sliding.

    — Miami Rattlers Cheerleader Cherie Redd is exquisitely beautiful, athletic, and very, very lonely. Romance: a puzzling phenomenon she figured had something to do with guys’ fear of rejection or lack of self-confidence because they just didn’t have what it takes to win someone like Cherie.

    Titillatingly sexy and breathtakingly beautiful, Cherie and her other cheerleading friends often spent their lonely Saturday nights lamenting their beauty and available just for the asking. The prettiest single women around: lonely, loveless and forlorn.

    Frustrated by too many quiet nights at home or with other cheerleaders, Cherie was oh-so-eager for romance and a man to seduce her lavishly. She wanted to feel what a real orgasm in the arms of an adoring man was like once again. So, she tucked her vibrator away and took to the Internet. Cherie had no clue how rapidly the seduction would begin or where her life would careen as a result. Painfully naive and overwhelmed by admirers before her spinning head cleared, Cherie was learning things her momma never even knew enough to warn her about.

    Follow Cherie and her friends as their sexual scoreboards light up brighter than in any stadium. Or does it?

    About the Book

    Title What the Marquess Sees
    Genre Regency Romance
    Author Amy Quinton
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    England 1814: He is a marquess
    with a woman to protect and an assassin to thwart. She is…not nice.
    The Marquess of Dansbury is a strong, charismatic man living
    a charmed life as an agent for the crown. His past isn’t without tragedy, but
    he is too amiable to allow misfortune to mar his positive outlook on life.
    Until now…when he finds himself tasked with protecting the one woman in the
    world he actively disdains, Lady Beatryce Beckett. 
    Lady Beatryce Beckett is mean. She ruins other women on
    purpose. She lies. She cheats. She even steals. And she takes particular
    pleasure in provoking a certain marquess. In short, she’ll do anything to get
    what she wants: freedom from her abusive father. But she is strong (she’s had
    to be), worthy (who’d have thought it), and in love… Wait, what?
    It will take a special man to see the true woman beneath the
    surface…and a strong woman to allow him that glimpse. Is the Marquess of
    Dansbury up to the task?
