    Heartland: contemporary western #romance @sara_w_ellwood #RLFblog

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

    About the Author

    Although Sara Walter Ellwood has long ago left the farm for the glamour of the big town, she draws on her experiences growing up on a small hobby farm in West Central Pennsylvania to write her contemporary westerns. She’s been married to her college sweetheart for over 20 years, and they have two teenagers and one very spoiled rescue cat named Penny. She longs to visit the places she writes about and jokes she’s a cowgirl at heart stuck in Pennsylvania suburbia. Sara Walter Ellwood is a multi-published and international Amazon bestselling author of the anthology series Cowboy Up. She also dabbles in the paranormal genre with her The Hunter’s Dagger Series, which was previously published under the pen name Cera duBois.

    Interview with Sara Walter Ellwood

    Why did you write this book?
    I actually came up with the idea for this book while writing the heroine’s parents’ romance back in 2010. When Heartstrings (Singing to the Heart book 1) was eventually published in 2013, I just had to wait a few years to write it—to allow the heroine to grow up.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    Oh, wow, that’s a hard question because I read so many: contemporary romance, paranormal romance, science fiction (I’m a HUGE Star Wars geek), straight historical and romance, fantasy romance… I really can’t pick one.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    It really is a tie between Scarlett O’Hara and Princess Leia (from the Star Wars Legacy universe—the old Expanded Universe).
    What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    I’m working on A Hunter’s Wings–book 3, of my paranormal series, The Hunter’s Dagger Series. I hope to have it released by January. I’m also plotting and doing research for a time travel historical YA fantasy set in early sixteenth century England/Scotland. The story will involve two fairies who go back in time to prevent another time-traveling fairy from assassinating King Henry VIIs daughter before she can marry the Stuart King, James IV, which would prevent the eventual secession of the Scottish kings to the English throne.
    Please tell us about your latest book.
    Sex, drugs, and country music. That was the lifestyle for Emily Kendall, a Texas girl who hit it big on the country music charts—until she found herself pregnant and battling addiction. Now out of rehab and seeking a new life for herself and her unborn child, Emily returns to her hometown of McAllister. The last thing she’s looking for is trouble, no matter how good it looks in uniform.
    A widower, single father, and former Army Ranger struggling with PTSD, Sheriff EJ Cowley has his own demons to battle while keeping folks safe. The last thing he needs is a troubled celebrity speeding through town in her bright red Maserati. But when someone from Emily’s past threatens her safety and the peace of McAllister, EJ has no choice but to protect her. And soon both will learn there’s more to the other than meets the eye. And that wounded hearts can love again.

    A Place Where Anything Can Happen @liviaquinn #RLFblog #UrbanFantasy

    Come to a place where anything can happen… with Livia Quinn.

    Author Bio

    Livia Quinn is a D.C. native living in Louisiana. She’s written ten books in her Storm Lake series, both paranormal and contemporary romance. “It’s like a mini-vacation from the real world.” “Walk don’t run to the buy button” her readers have said. Come to a place where anything can happen…

    Storm Crazy, A Storm Lake Novel

    Title Storm Crazy
    Genre Paranormal
    Author Livia Quinn
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
    I’m Tempest Pomeroy, and my human job is delivering the mail. To say I was having a bad day would be like saying Katrina dropped a little rain on New Orleans. First, River’s amphora went missing—that’s genie bottle to you mere-mortals. I know— the names right? We were just lucky we didn’t end up as Black Cloud and Little Sprinkle. Or Flash and Flood. With my hair, I’d have been Flash. I’m also a Paramortal like the rest of my family. Or I’m supposed to be. If it wasn’t for a few little talents I’d think I was adopted.
    On my first delivery, a scantily clad doctor triggered a hallucination when we touched. Pheromones? An old trouble-maker had a stroke but I saved the old fart with a zap of my Zeus juice! It was the first time I’d actually called my power on purpose, and our hunky new sheriff almost saw me use my magic—big no-no. He showed up again when the owner of Flowers by Dick complained that I’d dropped a seventy-five pound box on his foot. Yeah, I did, but it was an accident. He put his hand on my butt and my hands sorta… slipped. Then things really went downhill.
    I discovered a dead body while rescuing River’s bottle from a locker as the sheriff arrived again. Now, my brother’s missing, my mother’s AWOL and the sheriff and my ex-lover are squaring off like yard dogs staking a claim on a poodle. I am no one’s poodle. Aurora says all this chaos is a sign of my quickening power and things are only going to get worse.
    Oh, and the sheriff? He thought he’d settled in a normal small town to raise his teenage daughter. Like Mayberrry. We’ll see how that turns out. Things had better settle down soon, ‘cause I’m about to go Storm Crazy.

    They’re heroes who care…
    Hard Days Knight is Free!!  Ex-Navy officer Luc Larue knows how it looks when the sexy cop and her partner respond to a silent alarm at the grocery where he stopped for a six-pack. Luc’s job with KPI requires certain…attire and equipment.
    The tall, dark and deadly looking mercenary Delilah Burke confronts at the robbery scene is sexy as sin, and apparently “saved the day”. Is he a hero or a crook? The guy seems too good to be true. Then, trouble arrives from his past and Del is faced with a choice to believe the evidence against Luc, or trust her heart.
    Her First Knight    “Take ‘em off, Tucker. Tucker. Tucker…”
    Ridge considers himself the consummate decision maker, wearing many hats—inventor, Ranger, mentor, CEO. So how had he wound up on stage in nothing but his trousers and tie beside two covermodels before a hundred women screaming at him to take it off. What seemed like a recipe for harmless fun could turn into his worst nightmare – one curious CEO follows a gorgeous redhead onto the wrong floor. Add a hundred romance writers attending a conference. Toss in some false assumptions, throw out a lifetime of good behavior and Ridge is up to his Special Forces tattoo in manure.

    Merry Christmas, Baby  It’s a weekend full of love. Larue social media is all a twitter at the return of their hometown movie idol, Ducane Beauregard Larue at the only place to celebrate Christmas eve, the Romanos’. Nothing could make Buffy happier than delivering some surprises and helping the people she loves find love. A Christmas eve miracle confirms what she already knows – with a little nudge, all her love ones’ happily ever-afters will happen in the not so distant future.

    Author Livia Quinn
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
    “You vill meet a dahk dangerrous strangah…”  
    …Aurora predicted at the Mardi Gras ball, and as if someone left their Swords of War videogame on “share” in a parallel universe, the Dark Knight walked in. Conor de Sept Flambe´ with the distinctive leathery tattoos spanning his muscular shoulders and magnificent flashing swords. “Where did he get those swords?” Montana drooled. She’d been unable to force her eyes away from him, then he parted the crowd like Moses through the Red Sea, and asked her to dance.
    He said he wanted to show her some of his moves. Right! Her Dinnshencha warrior wasn’t born yesterday… But there’s more to this Knight than meets the eye, and he’s quite an eyeful.  Recognizing her diminishing strength, he offered to prepare her for the Chaos, twenty-four hours when many Paramortals would lose their power.
    With crazies coming out of the woodwork, Paramortals losing their abilities, personalities going AWOL, Sheriff Lang wants to know who will be left standing with him when the Para-moon begins. If Flambe´ is what Jack thinks he is, Destiny might have a chance. If not, they’ll be in deep… trouble.  Where’s an F-18 when you need one?
