    Genre Paranormal Urban Fantasy
    Author April L. Wood

    Before the light is reborn within the womb of darkness and the Sun returns, will Winter reverse the curse?
    When High Priestess Iris Rose-Thorne bets her granddaughter’s womb in a broom flying contest–and loses, Winter wonders where the real danger lies: from the Witch Hunters she fled from the far North or her shady grandmother.
    She finds safety with Turmeric of the Wormwood clan. His eagerness to protect her warms her frozen heart. But her love for him defies the Segregation Curse of Old, cast by the Elders to preserve ancient clan bloodlines.
    Can they find a way around the Segregation Curse of Old to be together?
    And with time running out as the Winter Solstice nears, will Winter be able to reverse the curse on her womb? Or will she agree to her fate and remain barren?

    Marmalade’s First Christmas #contemporaryRomance @pmillhouse #RLFblog

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

    About the Author

    I write books. Books where romance, fantasy, and suspense collide.
    Born and raised in Savannah, Georgia, where Spanish moss whispers tales in breezes from the Atlantic Ocean, as a child, I soaked in the sunshine and heritage of cobblestones, pirate lore, and stories steeped in savory mysteries of the South. I graduated with honors from both Armstrong Atlantic State University, and Georgia Southern University.
    I live in the mountains now with my husband, but honor my southern heritage as a storyteller by sharing my romance fiction with readers.
    What’s in it for you?
    A reward. Treat yourself to an entertaining diversion from your daily routine by reading my stories. You’ll find themes like justice does exist, love is worth fighting for. Happily-ever-afters are expected.

    Interview with Paula Millhouse

    Why did you write this book?
    I wrote Marmalade’s First Christmas because I wanted to share my love for all things Christmas, woven into a contemporary romance. I like to think of the novella as sort of a Hallmark movie, with extra sugar and spice.
    Also, a kitten adopted us last year at Christmas, an orange tabby. He’s brought so much love into our lives! I wanted to weave my sweet adorable kitten into a story. I think Marmalade steals the show.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I love paranormal fantasy romance, but I’m also getting into some contemporary romance now. I read broadly – historical, thrillers, and lots of non-fiction.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Just one…? Seriously, Kayelle – that’s a tough question!
    Right now I’m in love with Mirren Kincaid from Susannah Sandlin’s Absolution in The Penton Legacy Series. What an amazing character!
    What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    I’m writing a paranormal romance, the first in a series, where sexy agents in a supernatural police force find love while making the universe safe for humans.
    I also have two romantic suspense novels out on submission with my agent. Fingers crossed, and do send positive cyberwishes my way that these stories find their perfect editor.
    Please tell us about your latest book.
    Marmalade’s First Christmas
         When billionaire Jake Simons rescues a kitten the week before Christmas, the orange tabby leads Jake to the greatest gift of the season – Veterinarian Marley West.
         The last thing Marley needs is a client meddling in her personal business, but Old Man Winter, Mother Nature, and Jake’s pregnant mares have other plans for her holiday. When she gets snowed in with Jake during the worst blizzard in racehorse country, sparks fly.
         But will Jake be strong enough to let go of ghosts from his past? And, in this friends-to-lovers story, will Marley learn to trust that Jake just might be her very own Christmas miracle?

    Author Milou Koenings
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG
    Ella Martin’s always done what she should. But has she lost touch with what she wants?
    When she gets the call that her father and stepmother have been injured in a freak accident, coming home to Green Pines to take care of them isn’t really what she’d planned. She’s spent her life getting away from small-town Green Pines. If ever there was a dying community in need of Ella’s expertise in neighborhood revitalization, though, this is it.
    She’s willing to give a shot at saving Green Pines, but things get complicated when billionaire real-estate developer Covington Black moves in up the road. Sure, she’s got a crush on him – who wouldn’t? But he’s just taken out an injunction to keep her from picketing his construction sites, so when he starts romancing her, he must be up to something. Whatever game he’s playing, she knows he’s only going to break her heart.
    Covington Black knows what he wants. He’s seeking solace in the only place he’s ever been truly happy – his grandfather’s farm in Green Pines. He’s got big plans for the place and he’s looking for a partner to share his dreams with. He wants to believe Ella’s the one, and yet it seems like falling for her is the one thing he shouldn’t have done.
    A tender tale that hits the sweet spot at the intersection of family, community and the love of your life.

    About the Author

    My love of reading romance fiction goes back to those early years when I was raising a young family. It wasn’t until much later in life I actually took up the pen to write my first historical romance, Wind Warrior. I really don’t fit into one specific niche. Once a story starts to flow, it’s only then I know what genre/sub-genre it will fit under.
    I have only one regret, and that is not getting to this point in my career much sooner, rather than later. Life has a way of setting up road blocks, which for me, was supposed to work out that way. Because of those detours, I have become a more passionate and expressive writer, allowing me to create the kind of raw human emotion I want my readership to feel.
    It is my hope you walk away with not just an entertaining read, but the importance in knowing, “Without imagination & dreams, we lose the excitement of wonderful possibilities.

    Forever Yours a new #Romance by @AuthorJPerkins #RLFblog

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

    About the Author

    Kinsley Stone never thought she’d arrive at her honeymoon destination being single. She believed a working vacation at Mimosa Key, building her business, would be the best place to recover after being jilted at the altar. It felt like the ideal getaway until her ex-fiancé and his new wife showed up.
    Logan Sweet had made a commitment to his parents that he was done with his party lifestyle. He insisted he was ready to settle down and take control of the family business with his brother and sister. He kept that promise until he met Kinsley.
    Can Kinsley and Logan handle the roadblocks thrown their way, or could there possibly be fireworks they hadn’t imagined?

    Interview with Jennifer Perkins

    Why did you write this book?
    I was generously invited by Roxanne St. Clair to write my own story in her Amazon Barefoot Bay kindle world.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I love reading Contemporary Romance and seeing characters develop as they navigate through their lives and relationships. I enjoy going with them to their happily ever after.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    I just love Joy Ballard from Dining with Joy by Rachel Hauck. Joy is a cooking show host who can’t cook. Looking for a simpler life, she might just find it with Luke Redmond who’s asked to co-host with Joy. This is a beautifully told story of love, life, and reputations on the line.
    What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    My current wip is another novella, releasing in Carly Phillips Dare to Love Amazon kindle world in December. This novella is spicier and hotter. I’ll have two additional kindle world novellas in 2017 and beyond that I’m working on a boating series.

    Renegades: The Wildblood (Book 2) #postapocalyptic @HoagSheila #RLFblog

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

    About the Author

    S. A. Hoag is an author, lapidary artist, very amateur astronomer (“I just look at the stars, I can’t tell you their names.”), hockey fan, and accidental desert-dweller. Born in the middle of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, she has lived in a number of cities, in a number of states, before crash-landing in the New Mexico desert. Not Roswell, however. Science Fiction has always been her first interest in reading and writing; many other genres sneak into the novels and that’s alright with her.

    Interview with S.A. Hoag 

    Why did you write this book? 
    It’s book 2 of a series, I’m just not finished with this story, yet.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    Sci-fi.  Any sub-genre is fine!
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Just one?  I love the bad guys, the protagonists, the damaged souls that can’t save themselves.
    What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    I’ve got an untitled sci-fi in progress.  It’s an apocalypse, dimensional shift thing.  Also, Book 3 of The Wildblood, which I hope to have released next summer.  The series is going to have novellas appearing as I can finish them.
    Please tell us about your latest book.
    They made you strong, and smart. We kept you safe, and in the shadows. It took them damned near twenty years to find you.
    Uncontrollable. Unpredictable. Dangerous.
    The Wildblood.
    Now, Team Three know what they are.
    Renegades: Book 2 of The Wildblood takes up with Team Three not at all convinced the search for the truth about themselves is over.
    Protecting their home, an isolated northern stronghold known as The Vista, has been the first duty of Team Three. Now they scatter across the Front Range of a post-apocalyptic North America, in an attempt to determine where their enemies are hidden and if they have any true allies.
    It’s rumored that Team Three has gone renegade. With Wade in Colorado, Shannon in parts unknown, and Mac running the Cody base outside of The Vista’s jurisdiction, it looks like it’s possible.
    Out among clans of the Altered, and cities where civilization has held ground, their efforts to establish The Vista’s domain create unique conflicts and unexpected help. One of the most pressing obstacle turns out to be their own governing council, a threat as real and dangerous as the nomads of the outlands. Forced to face the consequences of their actions, Team Three has run out of options.
