No one is safe when the sun is gone in Shiela Stewart’s Paranormal Romance, Seducing the Darkness. Not even the vampires.
Shiela Stewart, 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 series.
Seducing the Darkness in the The Darkness series
Genre Paranormal Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
An outcast by her kind, Trinity Ford has learned to live on her own…not an easy thing to do when you’re a vampire.
Trinity was once a fragile girl. Being taken by a powerful vampire prince changed her. Discovering him in the arms of another woman changed destiny. Alone, she’s learned fast how to be tough, how to survive, and how to protect the people in her city from the evil that lurks in the dark. She was managing just fine, until Basil walked back into her life.
Basil Hawthorn has been the reigning prince of vampires since banishing his father to the Realm of Dark Mystics decades earlier. When a prophetic dream makes him realize Trinity’s life is at risk, he decides the only way to save her is to push her away. Doing so is not easy. Trinity is the only woman he has ever loved, ever will love, and he can’t seem to let her go.
When rumors arise of a plan to raise the King and blot out the sun, both Trinity and Basil know they must do everything to stop it. Even if it means working together. Despite the betrayal and the threat, they find themselves drawn to each other. Love has no boundaries, especially in the face of danger. But will they be able to stop the ritual before it’s too late?
Or will the darkness capture them both?
Which book is this in the series?
Seducing the Darkness is the first book.
How many books do you plan for the series?
Originally it was only going to be a single book with everything wrapping up in Seducing the Darkness. After my publisher read it, she asked if I might consider making it a series. She was thinking 3 books. I couldn’t let the characters go, so 8 were created.
How many books are completed?
All 8 books are complete. I was writing one book while editing the other so that all 8 could be released in one year.
What characters are the main stars in your series?
The heroine is Trinity Ford and she’s a vampire as is the hero, Basil Hawthorn. He is also the Prince of vampires. They are the lead in the first six books, then make guest appearances in the last two.There are also 3 other characters that are key in every book.
What is the overall theme in this series?
Trinity isn’t your normal vampire. She wants to keep her city safe by taking out as many bad vampires as she can. But when a ritual is performed to blot out the sun over Jacob’s Cove, she has her hands full. Each book introduces a new character that are love interests for the 3 other main characters. With the sun gone, the vampires are taking over. Trinity, Basil and the other characters try to save what humans haven’t fled the city while trying to bring the sun back. In the midst of all the mayhem, love blooms adding brightness to a very dark situation. Each book takes up where the previous ended.
Please list the series titles below, in any order you prefer.

The ability to keep the hero and heroines storyline going. Unlike most other romance series books, I give the readers a look at what happens to the couples after their budding romance begins.

Hidden Gypsy Magic by Tena Stetler @TenaStetler #RLFblog #NewRelease #Paranormal Romance/Mystery Time Travel
The consequences in Tena Stetler’s new paranormal romance/mystery/time travel Hidden Gypsy Magic come to life in an old house in Salem, a cabin in Maine and a trip back in time to right a wrong. Will it be too late?
Tena, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Hidden Gypsy Magic.
Hidden Gypsy Magic by Tena Stetler
Genre Paranormal Romance/Mystery/Timetravel
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
The Salem Wildlife Sanctuary is Gwen Taylor’s life work. Her Irish Gypsy heritage provides a hidden talent she uses to help the creatures under her care. But even her magical skills can’t help new rescues in dire need of veterinary care.
The opportunity of signing on as the vet for Gwen’s sanctuary dropped into Brock Scutter’s lap after he expanded his practice to include wildlife. The personal attraction he and Gwen experience is undeniable the more their professional and personal lives collide.
Touring the only “non-haunted” house in Salem they both feel a spark of magic. A trip to his family’s cabin uncovers a heritage he didn’t know existed. If they want a future together, it means facing the consequences of awakening hidden Gypsy magic and a race against the clock to correct past wrongs.
Why did you write this book?
Gwen was introduced in A Witch’s Journey. Brock came to fruition in A Witch’s Holiday Wedding. They insisted on their own story. Then my friend adopted three baby desert tortoises. A story line began in play out in my head, since Gwen is a wildlife rehabilitator and Brock is a veterinarian. They live and work in Salem, Massachusetts. Salem as always intrigued me, so I put a twist on the witch trials and a trip back in time. Then I threw in poachers in present time and a dog and owl rescue. Still the what if’s just kept coming and Hidden Gypsy Magic was born.
What is your favorite genre to read?
I love read all kinds of genres. Favorite if I had to pick one would be paranormal, fantasy, mystery all rolled into one. I like Science Fiction too.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
Dianna Bishop from A Discovery of Witches.
Or Hermione Granger from Harry Potter Series.
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m doing edits on the sixth book in A Demon’s Witch Series. And researching my book for The Wild Rose Press’s Wylder Series (It will be my first attempt at a paranormal historical time travel) I’m really excited about both projects. I can’t wait to get them in the hands of my readers.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
Hidden Gypsy Magic releases today, September 28, 2020. It’s the third book in A Witch’s Journey Series. But is also a standalone.
Chocolate Raspberry Magic will release in April of 2021. It’s part of the One Scoop or Two summer series and the fourth book in A Witch’s Journey Series.
I hope to release the sixth book in A Demon’s Witch Series in 2021 as well as the Wylder book by the end of 2021. Fingers crossed.
All books in my series can be read as standalones.

Meet Shiela Stewart Author of Discovery in Passion #RLFblog #ParanormalRomance #PNR
Living in a small town may seem safe in Shiela Stewarts Paranormal Romance series Discover in Passion. Until the ghosts of the past demand justice.
Shiela, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Discovery in Passion.
Discovery in Passion by Shiela Stewart
Genre Paranormal Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Wanting to start fresh, Cassie Evans relocates to the small town of Passion where she moves into the home of her dreams, complete with dreamy next door neighbor, artist, and handyman Thomas Healy. The only problem is, the house she bought just might be haunted.
Thomas Healy lives a life of solitude and that suits him just fine. Then Cassie Evans moves in next door and begins to turn his peaceful life upside down. He tries to ignore her, but ignoring a woman as beautiful as Cassie isn’t so easy, especially when she shows up at your door, naked, begging for you to paint her. Thomas’ first mistake was to agree to it, his second was to take Cassie to bed, now she’s all he can think about.
When their blossoming love is overshadowed by a ghostly haunting, the curious Cassie launches an investigation into the life and death of her home’s previous owner, uncovering a mystery and attracting the attention of a killer. Where will Cassie’s discovery lead her, to the love of her life or to death itself?
Tell us about yourself as a person.
What makes you different from other people?
Well, I once lived in a haunted house. It wasn’t a malicious spirit. Completely opposite. The spirit of the woman who died in our farm house was very helpful in that she would bring my baby sister a bottle if she woke crying, opened the curtains in the morning to let the sun in and set cups on the table or morning coffee.
What is your favorite subject to talk about?
Anything paranormal. I’m fascinated in others experiences and thoughts of spirits who still remain around us.
What is your favorite meal?
I’m a meat and potatoes gal. I could eat roast chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy every day if I could.
Tell us about yourself as a writer.
What made you want to be a writer?
I’ve always been a storyteller. As far back as I can remember, I told stories to anyone who listened. As I grew, so did my collection of stories. After filling two boxes of manuscripts, my husband urged me to look into getting them published. It wasn’t easy, but I stuck with it, and to date, I have 15 books published.
When you go to a convention, what kinds of things do you take along?
A nice bright bouquet of flowers. Bookmarks for giveaways and merchandise with my books printed on them.
What’s your best advice for a new writer?
If it truly is your passion, stick to it. Don’t let rejections get you down or doubt yourself.
