    Storm Crazy by Livia Quinn

    Genre Paranormal

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13

    Welcome to Destiny, or should I say Middle Earth…

    I’m Sheriff Jack Lang. After an exciting career as a Navy pilot, Destiny seemed like the perfect place to settle down – safe, sane and secure. But that ship sailed when I met Tempest Pomeroy – sexy redheaded mail lady and trouble magnet. Tempe never fails to test the limits of my patience or the law. Every time I think it’s the last straw, up pops another haystack.

    My name is Tempest Pomeroy, and my human job is delivering the mail. I’m also a Paramortal like my family, or I’m supposed to be. If I didn’t have a few little talents, I’d think I was adopted. To say I was having a bad day would be like saying Katrina dropped a little rain on New Orleans. My brother’s genie bottle is missing, my mother’s AWOL, and the sheriff and my ex-lover are squaring off like yard dogs staking a claim over a poodle. I am no one’s poodle. I’ve denied my heritage for most of my life but all this chaos is a sign of my quickening Tempestaerie power.

    Oh, and the sheriff? He thinks he’s settled in a normal, quaint small town—like Mayberry?! We’ll see how that turns out… Things better settle down soon, ’cause I’m about to go…Storm Crazy.

    Stressing Tempe

    Every heroine has a story. She has a background, a history, and a past. This interview allows us to meet a heroine and get to know her better, by focusing on how she handles being relaxed, as well as how she handles stress.

    Please tell me about your heroine.

    Age: 29

    Gender: Female

    Birthplace: Destiny, Louisiana

    Profession: mail carrier and weather witch

    Ethnicity: Paramortal

    Species (for scifi/fantasy characters): Tempestaerie

    What does your heroine look like?

    Tempe is tan and fit, a redhead with rainbow streaks in her hair. Her eyes are sunny blue until she gets her weather dander up then they go stormy.

    Who is the significant other in her life?

    Jack Lang, is becoming her significant other, but he hasn’t seen her wild side yet.

    The Heroine’s Relaxed Side

    This heroine is at a party. Considering her story, describe the party.

    The is being given by Jane Fortune, Destiny’s gossip columnist and 900 Psychic. It’s a ploy to get new fodder for her column.

    How does the heroine feel about being this particular party, and what body language is she displaying that gives it away?

    Tempe did not want to be at Jane’s party so when Jane starts asking her about the dead body she found at the clubhouse, sparks fly from her fingertips.

    Is she more likely to mingle or remain aloof?

    Tempe isn’t really a mingler. She and her brother were abandoned by their parents when she was ten so she tends to stay to herself.

    If she drinks, what is her drink of choice at this party?

    She’d love a shot of tequila but she learned her lesson – twice – this week, that Tempestaerie elements and alcohol don’t mix.

    How much drink is her usual?

    Ha! less than one is plenty to get her in trouble.

    The heroine figures out where the hiding places are and then goes there. Is it to hide, to avoid someone, or to go drag a friend back to the party?

    To avoid someone, this time the hostess.

    Is she likely to latch onto a friend and stay with him/her and ignore others, or is she the friend that others latch onto?

    Tempe would find Montana her bigger than life intimidating warrior friend to hang out with.

    If someone picked a fight at this party, how is the heroine going to handle it?

    It depends on whether they are human or a supernatural since letting others see you use your powers is a no-no. But most likely Tempe would toss a lightning bolt at them, or call up a gust of wind to distract them.

    Is the heroine the one most likely to get tossed out of the party, or the one who does the tossing?

    Tempe’s a trouble magnet but not the kind to get thrown out. People understand why she’s having trouble

    Will she know when to leave, or stay late and make a nuisance of herself?

    LOL, she’ll be looking for the first opportunity to get away.

    The Heroine’s Stressed Out Side

    How does the heroine handle it if the cops or some other authority figure pulls her aside when she was blameless in a situation?

    This happened and it didn’t go well. The sheriff didn’t believe her when she said she stepped over the dead body to steal her brother’s genie bottle from the locker. Ooops.

    If she sees someone being assaulted, what is the FIRST thing she does?

    Tempe wouldn’t hesitate to jump in and help.

    This heroine attempts to rescue someone and realizes that she is in over her head. The odds are against her and there is no way out. She is going to get her butt handed to her. What does she do?

    She’d fake it, pretend she was winning until she could gain an advantage, or outlast them.

    The heroine runs into the one person from her past she wanted to avoid. She can’t get out of the situation and must interact in some way. What does she do?

    Something she didn’t want to do after having a shot of tequila. She kisses him.

    Someone younger than the heroine is in charge of the situation, and they are handling it badly, perhaps bungling things. How does the heroine deal with it?

    She raised her brother so she understands the mistakes young people make and would try to help them without making them feel like she’s taking over.

    The heroine is in physical pain but must bear up under it and keep going. What does she tell herself in order to get through the situation?

    Pain is just a state of mind. Deny, deny, deny.

    What mentor’s words come to mind in a bad situation?

    “Whatever you do, stay calm. You’re about to go through your quickening.”

    What lesson from her past gets her through a stressful situation?

    Even when things seemed hopeless and there was no one to turn to she managed to get herself and her little brother through a bad time and they came out okay.

    What one thing would you like readers to know about your heroine?

    Tempe’s like most of us, she’s just trying to protect the ones she loves and do the right thing but somehow things just keep happening and that dang sheriff keeps showing up at the worst possible time.

    Violet by Emily Mims @EmilyMimsAuthor #RLFblog #NewRelease #contemporary romanceEmily Mims, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.

    Violet

    Genre contemporary romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    He’s Everything
    Karen Gregory has always been into big, take-charge, brooding alpha males. Not small, cute, second grade schoolteachers. Even though her marriage to Deke Gregory failed, she still thinks his type of man is what she wants. Or does she? When she returns to her hometown with the son her ex all but abandoned, she meets fellow teacher and singer Gary Jeffries, and finds herself falling for a man who is the antithesis of everything she thought she ever wanted. When Deke dramatically re-enters her life, Karen is faced with an impossible choice. Go back to her romantic ideal, and the father of her son, or stay with Gary?
    But Not Her Ideal
    Gary Jefferies knows he’s not what smokin’ hot, talented teacher and singer Karen Gregory wants. But he also knows that he is, by far, the better man for her and her son. Especially after meeting her arrogant, obnoxious ex. But shared history and a ten-year old child are strong ties to sever. Gary fears he’ll he lose Karen to her romantic ideal, even though Gary is the man she hasn’t yet realized she needs.
    Why did you write this book?
    I thought it would be fun to write a hero who doesn’t fit the romance novel ideal of big, take-charge and brooding. Gary is small, cute, and smiles all the time…just like the father I grew up with.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    Contemporary romance and romantic suspense. I also love a well-done paranormal.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Eve Dallas of the ‘In Death’ series. Without a doubt.
    What are you working on at the moment?
    I just finished ‘Ruby’, a Smoky Blues novella reuniting Lexi Barstow and Senator Collins Wentworth. They are my first foray into a love story involving characters with Medicare cards in their wallets.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    You will see the above-mentioned ‘Ruby’, as well as ‘Amethyst’, the sequel to ‘Violet’ in which Karen’s ex gets his own happily ever after.

    Is It True: Blast from Her Past by Katy Eeten @KatyEeten #RLFblog #Romance

    Is It True: Blast from Her Past by Katy Eeten @KatyEeten #RLFblog #RomanceWelcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Let’s play Is It True with today’s guest, Katy Eeten, author of Blast From her Past, a contemporary inspirational romance. This is a game with yes and no questions. Writers can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.

    Blast from Her Past

    Genre: Inspirational Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG

    After a disastrous failed engagement, Sydney Hampson is leaving her past—and her faith—behind to focus on her career instead. Following through with her new, albeit misguided, resolution proves easier said than done when former classmate, and reformed bully, Grant Williams signs on with her company, and they must work closely together.
    Grant Williams gave up his teenage antics years ago, and now he’s looking forward to a future that includes a strong relationship with God. When he realizes he’ll be working with none other than Sydney Hampson—the girl he had a secret crush on throughout high school—he couldn’t be more thrilled. Until he discovers she’s not the same caring, compassionate woman she used to be.
    When a business trip gone awry leaves the pair stranded in the middle of a snowstorm, Grant sees his chance to make things right and put their past wrongs behind them…if only Sydney can get over her distrust of men. And with a conniving coworker intent on destroying Sydney’s happiness, can she put her faith back in God and learn to trust in Grant before she loses her chance at happiness?

    Is it true:

    this is your first book?
    Yes.
    this book is part of a series?
    No, it’s a stand-alone.
    you lost sleep while writing this book?
    Yes. I have a full-time job and two school-age kids, so I have to squeeze in writing sessions when I can – even late at night.
    you did research for this book?
    Yes, but only small stuff. For example, I had to find out if people in North Dakota call it “soda” or “pop,” what could cause a car to suddenly break down, and the distance between various locations in the Dakota states.
    some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
    No. All humans.
    this book has more than one genre?
    No. It’s a straight-up Christian romance.
    you speak more than one language?
    No. I did take four years of Spanish in high school and two semesters in college, but that was a while ago and I’ve not put it to use.
    you grew up where you live now?
    Yes. I moved away for several years, but just last year I moved back and bought a house in the same city where I grew up.
    you love to read?
    Yes, but I don’t have a lot of time to do so and it takes a while for me to get sucked into a book. Once I am, I can’t put it down!
    you are never late?
    Well … I used to be overly punctual. Now that I have kids, I’m typically just on time (if I’m lucky!).
    you love pizza?
    Yes!
    you love sushi?
    No. Never had it and never want to. I’m not very adventurous and I don’t like seafood of any kind.
    you have a pet?
    No. Just two kids.

  • Contemporary,  Is It True

    Is It True: Baby, That’s the Spirit! by Robin Michaela @robinsromances #RLFblog #Romance #Indiereads

    Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Let’s play Is It True with today’s guest, Robin Michaela, author of Baby, That’s the Spirit!, a contemporary romance with paranormal elements. This is a game in which authors answer yes and no questions. They can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.
    First, tell us about your book.
    When free-spirited clairvoyant, Amethyst Raines, comes to Sweetness to tell fortunes at the fall festival, she crosses circuits with hunky electrical contractor, Adam Burkett. While she’s drawn to him, she has no intention of getting involved with the sexy single dad. The problem is, she has a message for him from beyond the grave…and, she’d deliver it, if she could just get the infuriating man to believe she can speak with the dead.
    Cynical skeptic Adam is tired of deceitful women. All he wants to do is finish out his job contract and settle his beloved grandmother’s estate before saying good-bye to Sweetness forever. And, he’s definitely not going to be tempted by a woman who claims she can talk to spirits. But when his little girl goes missing, Adam will do anything to find her, including putting his faith in the seductive medium he can’t seem to resist.
    She’s trying to solve a century-old secret; he’s trying to find his daughter. If they can work together, their relationship just might stand a ghost of a chance.
    Genre: Contemporary
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Now, tell us Yes or No for each answer below. Feel free to explain any (or none) of your answers.

    Is it true:

    This is your first book?
    No, I have three published books and a fourth will be released in April.
    This book is part of a series?
    Yes. This is Book #2 in the Southern Hearts series under the Southern Roads Kindle World (it’s a standalone, with an HEA, though). The first book is Baby, Count on Me, which tells the story of Amethyst’s cousin, Beau. He’s still carrying a torch for his first love – his college sweetheart, Jenna. Beau is stunned when Jenna unexpectedly shows up in his small town, but he’s pretty sure it’s a bad idea to risk his heart again.
    You lost sleep while writing this book?
    I did, but I lose sleep when I’m writing all of my books. I keep turning plots over and over in my head….
    You did research for this book?
    Yes. In addition to the romance element, there’s a ghost and a lost treasure from the Civil War in the book, as well as a setting in the Underground Railroad.
    Some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
    This book has a few ghosts in it, as well as Amethyst’s black cat, Boo.
    This book has more than one genre?
    Kinda sorta. Baby, That’s the Spirit! is a contemporary romance with some paranormal elements (hence, the word “spirit” in the title!).
    You speak more than one language?
    I had three years of German in high school and can only remember about 20 words now. So, not really…
    You grew up where you live now?
    No, I grew up in Florida, but now I live in Georgia.
    You love to read?
    Yes, in fact that’s one of the things I miss most about being an author. I don’t read as much as I used to because I’m always writing.
    You are never late?
    My Handsome Prince wishes that I was on time, but I have to admit to usually being on either right on the nose or a teensy bit late for most things (I’m always trying to get one more word on my manuscript…)
    You love pizza?
    I do! Especially Hawaiian pizza (Canadian bacon and pineapple on top. Yum!)
    You love sushi?
    Not really, but I can get by with California Rolls in a pinch.
    You have a pet?
    Yes, I’m owned by a black cat named Boo. He’s the inspiration (and namesake) for Amethyst’s cat in Baby, That’s the Spirit!.
    Where can we find your book online?
    Baby, That’s the Spirit! is $1.99 on Amazon or FREE to read on Kindle Unlimited https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076B56V9J

    Master Me by Sayara St Clair @SayaraStClair #RLFblog #NewRelease #Romance

    Sayara St Clair, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.

    Master Me

    Genre: Erotic Romance, Contemporary Romance.
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Trixie Meier, a club submissive who’s tired of being pushed around, has decided she’d rather be on the other end of the whip. She’s set her sights on Xavier Adams—the most enigmatic and unapproachable man in the club. Xavier’s a regular Mr. Darcy. If Mr. Darcy was covered in tattoos, wore black leather, and was built like a Sherman tank.
    Xavier has big secrets, and he keeps them behind an impenetrable wall of intimidation he employs to keep everyone at a healthy distance. Everyone but Trixie. The irrepressibly feisty sprite isn’t afraid to get all up in his face, in the worst and best ways. He’s convinced himself she’s far too sweet for the likes of him…just before he starts stalking her.
    When he discovers Trixie doesn’t want to submit to him, but master him instead, Xavier’s sure it’s the most ridiculous thing he’s ever heard. A big, scary guy like him, submitting to what has to be the tiniest Mistress known to BDSM kind? Ludicrous.
    But Trixie packs a lot of woman in a small package. And Xavier’s about to learn sometimes the old adage is true—the bigger you are, the harder you fall.
    Why did you write this book?
    There were two characters with cameos in the first two books of The Dante’s Purgatory Series, who became so intriguing to me, that I just had to write their story next. Trixie is a tiny woman with a larger-than-life personality. She has a hysterical sense of humour and is—as she described herself in the book—”approximately three quarters crazy, about seventy-five percent of the time.” I knew matching her up with the big, scary, silent and brooding, Xavier, would lead to extremely interesting things.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    Romance. All sorts of romance, eg erotic, paranormal, historical and romantic suspense. An unashamed, incurable romantic—that’s me.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    That’s such a hard question to answer. There are so many characters I’ve admired/fallen in love with over the years. Hmmm…I think I’ll go with one who’s fresh in my mind because I’ve read the book recently. And that is Malkom Slaine from Demon From The Dark by Kresley Cole. He’s a vampire. He’s a demon. He’s the scariest “vemon” around. And he has a heart of gold. LOVE!!
    What are you working on at the moment?
    I’m working on the second book in my upcoming paranormal (vampire) romance series.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    The first book in my paranormal series will be released in the next couple of months. It’s a hilarious look at the lives of a blood bank scientist and her newbie vampire boyfriend who has serious control issues. A blood bank scientist and a vampire— Is theirs a match made in heaven or hell? We shall see…

    Sayara St Clair Social Media

    If someone told a young Sayara St Clair that one day she would be an erotic/paranormal-romance-writing Aussie expat living in Thailand, she would have snort-laughed and yelled, “You. Be. Crazy!”
    If someone told her the same thing now, she would not yell, only nod solemnly. Because that actually happened.
    Sayara has a science degree, with majors in both microbiology and biochemistry. Working in the fields of serology and tissue banking, she got to do lots of cool and sometimes slightly weird stuff. She was employed as the manager/buyer for furniture retail stores, where she had a chance to unleash her inner interior decorator. (Interior design is one of her great passions.) And for a time, she taught English to students in Asia. (Hanging about in a roomful of extremely loud, pint-sized humans is not one of her great passions.) She has written: ads for TV, print and radio; real estate brochures; website copy; and a screenplay. Now she’s writing fiction and has discovered it’s her favorite thing to do. She’s also learned that writing sultry romances is so much more fun than writing dry old scientific journal articles. No one has sex in scientific journal articles. Not the ones she wrote anyway.
    When not writing, she may be most commonly found in a horizontal position reading, in the kitchen baking, in the garden planting, or somewhere else singing at the top of her lungs. She loves music and is prone to spontaneous bouts of dancing.
    With regards to vampires and chocolate: she bites one on a daily basis and has had a lifelong obsession with the other. And she’s not telling which one’s which.
