    When Ash Remains @DenaGarson #RLFblog #PNR #historicalWelcome Dena Garson author of When Ash Remains, a new Native American historical paranormal romance.

    Why did you write this book?
    In truth, because a friend of mine nagged me for years to write it. The secondary reason was because the myths and legends of the Skinwalker fascinated me. I live in Oklahoma so some of those Native American stories seem a little more, well… real.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    It depends on my mood – it’s a mix of historical, paranormal, contemporary, fantasy, urban fantasy, and sci-fi romance. That’s probably why I write in so many of those categories!
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Doctor Who. Not only does he get to travel across the universe(s) but through time. He has seen (experienced) all kinds of people, places, and cultures. And yet he is a protector and has a strong sense of equality and respect for life. I hope that series runs for another 50 years!
    What are you working on at the moment?
    I’m working on a Steampunk romance as well as a follow up to Mystic’s Touch.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    The Steampunk romance will be part of a box set that comes out later this year. And I’d like to get into a sci-fi romance set that a group has been putting together for later this year. *fingers crossed*
    Please tell us about your latest book.

    A warrior with a mission
    There isn’t a buffalo or deer that Kajika cannot take down. So when his cousin is slaughtered he relishes the chance to track down the killer. The trail leads him to a woman with gifts he has trouble believing in. Despite their differences he cannot fight his instinct to protect her from all threats – even those he cannot see. That drive even rivals his desire to explore every inch of her body.
    A woman with a destiny
    Knowing the spirits will protect her, Ahyoka allows the handsome warrior to take her to be questioned by his chief about the unexplained deaths in their village. He may not believe in her abilities but he is one of the few who doesn’t treat her like something to be feared or shunned. He awakens feelings that make her yearn for things she thought she’d never have. Her biggest fear is that once he learns the full extent of her gifts he will reject her like most of her tribe did.
    A killer twisted by hurt and anger
    Kajika and Ahyoka must work together to find the one responsible for the string of deaths in and around their villages. Faith, trust, and even a little bit of love will be needed to defeat the killer and right the wrongs committed in the pursuit of power and revenge.

    The Best Man by @AuthorNicMorgan #99cents #RLFBlog

    Today’s featured book is The Best Man, a novella within the
    Wedding Dreams by Nicole Morgan and others.

    About The Best Man (Wedding Dreams Boxed Set)

    Genre: Contemporary Romance
    Author: Nicole Morgan, et. al
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Avery Foster first met the
    charming and irresistible Jackson Parks three years earlier at her best friend’s
    wedding. After days of flirting with the sexy best man who made her pulse race
    the two embarked on a passionate night unlike any she’d experienced before.
    Truly believing that they shared a connection, Avery had been heartbroken when
    she woke the next morning to find a note to learn that she had been nothing
    more than a one night stand.
    Now years later and on a much
    needed vacation from her demanding job, Avery is looking forward to the quiet
    days of solitude she is sure she’ll find in the mountains of Colorado. What she
    doesn’t know is that her matchmaking friends have other plans in store for her.
    They’ve arranged for Jackson to join her in hopes the two can rekindle their
    romance that fizzled out far too soon.
    Jackson always regretted the way
    he had left things with Avery. Older, wiser and in a better place in his life
    where he wants something more, Jackson is sure that Avery is what he’s been
    looking for all along. He knows he burned a bridge the day he’d walked out on
    her, but he refuses to let that be the reason he doesn’t at least try. He’d
    been foolish enough to let her go once. He wasn’t about to make that same
    mistake again.
    And this time, he won’t let her
    go…

    Meet Beatrice Bordel: Marked by Honor @AlexaAston #RLFblog #medieval #romance

    Welcome, Beatrice Bordel, from Marked by Honor (Book 2
    Knights of Honor), a new medieval historical romance.
    Genre medieval historical romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
    1363 A.D. – Lady Beatrice Bordel loses her mother and
    grandfather on the same day, leaving her penniless. With no protector and no
    prospects for marriage, her future is dismal. Hoping her grandfather’s oldest
    friend will take her in, Beatrice journeys north and is set upon by a band of
    highwaymen. All seems lost—until Sir Raynor Le Roux arrives.
    Raynor nurses a broken heart as he returns to his home. He
    comes upon a scene of horror in the woods and rescues a beautiful woman who
    stirs strong emotions within him. When he learns that Lady Beatrice travels to
    her betrothed and is alone in the world, the code of chivalry that guides
    Raynor’s life compels him to escort her so that she may marry her intended.
    But Beatrice has told Raynor a white lie, trying to protect
    herself, even as she is drawn to the handsome knight. As their growing
    attraction turns to love, her dishonesty stands in the way. Will Beatrice admit
    to her deception and tell Raynor the truth—or will this chivalrous knight turn
    away from the women he desires?
    Join Raynor and Beatrice as they travel toward their
    inevitable destination of love.

    Introducing Beatrice Bordel

    Age: one and twenty
    Gender: female
    Birthplace: England
    Profession: noblewoman
    Ethnicity: Caucasian
    Please provide a
    physical description of yourself.
    I am considered petite, especially when I stand next to Sir
    Raynor Le Roux. I have straight hair that falls to my waist, a rich brown in
    color, and my brown eyes are mixed with amber. My skin is porcelain, and I have
    a dimple in my right cheek.
    Please tell us a
    little about yourself.
    I am quite practical in nature. We have little coin, and
    I’ve never known any luxuries. I enjoy gardening and sewing and cook better
    than most. I play the lute and compose my own songs. I have been afraid of
    horses my entire life because when I was young and riding with my father, we
    were thrown. I survived the fall, but my father died soon after. I’ve grown up
    in isolation, with my mother and grandfather as my only companions. Grandfather
    says I’m most stubborn.
    Who is the significant
    other in your life?
    I have fallen in love with the most dashing knight in all of
    England, Sir Raynor Le Roux. Unfortunately, I told Sir Raynor a small, white
    lie in order to protect myself. If he finds out the truth, I shudder to think
    what might occur between us.
    Do you have children?
    More than anything, I long to be married and have children.
    We are poor, though, and Grandfather cannot afford the bridal price. I fear I
    will never know the touch of a man nor carry a babe in my belly.
    If someone from your past
    showed up, who would you most want it to be, and why?
    If my father could once again enter my life, I would be the
    happiest woman in England. He died in a riding accident when I was young. I can
    still remember how we would race on his horse around the meadow, the colors
    flying by, and the wind in my hair. I loved Father more than anyone in the
    world and miss him every day.
    What is your biggest personal
    flaw?
    My biggest flaw is that I am a liar. I never was before, but
    suddenly I find I have lied to my landlord, to the man I love, and to the man I
    hope will offer me refuge in his castle. Lying is a grievous sin, and I can
    only hope that God will forgive me.
    What would you like
    people who hear your story to know?
    I did receive my happily ever after with Raynor, thanks to
    Alexa Aston. I would tell others that they must be strong and truthful,
    especially with those they love.

    No One on Earth @JenniferTLoring #RLFblog #scifiromance #SFR

    Welcome Jennifer Loring author of No One on Earth, a new m/m
    sci-fi romance.
    Why did you write
    this book?
    After Glows Publishing had put out a call for m/m sci-fi
    romance novellas to be collected into a holiday-themed anthology. The concept
    interested me, so I experimented with a couple of different story ideas, all
    involving Native American folklore, before settling on the legend of the
    Handsome Fellow. I grew up on a reservation, but this was my first time writing
    an indigenous character. I don’t think it will be my last. J Anyway,
    the novella first appeared in Starstruck Holidays this past Christmas and is
    now releasing on its own.
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    It will probably always be horror. I also love non-fiction.
    Who is your favorite
    character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Two are characters I’ve loved since I was a
    teenager—Irrylath from The Darkangel Trilogy by Meredith Ann Pierce and Zach
    from Poppy Z. Brite’s Drawing Blood. I also adore Constantine from Robin
    McKinley’s Sunshine.
    What are you working
    on at the moment?
    A Gothic/paranormal romance novella for After Glows,
    concepts for a narrative game, and a lot of short fiction.
    What books will we see
    from you in coming months?
    March will bring my novella Prison Made of Mirrors, a
    retelling of Snow White, from Strange Fictions Press. The final book of The
    Firebird Trilogy (The Pieces of Us) releases from Limitless Publishing in April,
    and the first Erotikós anthology—containing two of my erotic horror short
    stories—from DarkFuse. In May, I’ll be in a contemporary romance anthology that
    I can’t talk about yet.
    Please tell us about
    your latest book.

    Jon, a psychic since childhood, has never felt at home in
    the world, even less so after his lover died on Winter Solstice a year ago.
    Since his abilities failed him when he needed them most, he turns to alcohol
    and rejects his family’s assertion that he is a Star Child—an alien/human
    hybrid. When Jon’s sister suggests he should look into the legend of Handsome
    Fellow, Jon decides that if he cannot find happiness himself, he will bring it
    to others.
    Erukkass’ people, a species of interdimensional aliens, have
    been observing Earth and interacting with humans for so many centuries that
    some Native American tribes believe their ancestors originated from the stars.
    After his lover passed away in what appears to be a medical accident, he
    accepts a scientific mission… but not for the reasons his government expects. He
    has located his beloved on another timeline, in another universe—ours—and he
    will not leave without him.
    Jon returns home from work one evening to find a gift of his
    own—a strange young man waiting for him. Erukkass unveils one stunning
    revelation after another, including the truth behind his lover’s death and the
    nature of time itself. Can he and Jon forge a future together, or will two
    timelines that have always intersected, no matter when or where, finally be
    forced to diverge?
