It’s In the Mix (Wit and Wizardry) by Ayla Ruse @aylaruse #RLFblog #paranormal #romance

Ayla Ruse, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. I’d like to get to know you better. After we talk, I’ll ask for your bio and social media. Let’s jump in to a Quick and Fun answer session.

QUICK

Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?
I write Romance. Within romance, my stories are varied. I’ve written contemporary, sci-fi, paranormal, and horror.
How do you come up with ideas?
Whew. From everywhere. Sometimes it can be a prompt from the publisher, sometimes a song. Sometimes, as I’m writing one story, I may shoot off left and find I’m taking notes on a completely unrelated but interesting storyline. The idea for my latest story, It’s In the Mix, came from a theme from another author wanting to create a multi-author series.
What is the single most important part of writing for you?
Being able to have the time to write. I lead a hectic life and snatching those few hours to write is my lifeline. It’s important to me to be able to lose myself in the characters, in the storyline. When I hit that roll, I lose track of time and place. My fingers fly over the keyboard, capturing dialogue flying between the characters as I let them tell their story. THIS is my happy place. Nothing about writing is more important.
When did you write your first book?
I like the distinction you made—first “book,” not first “story.” My first book was written over the course of two years (yikes!) and published soon thereafter by Totally Bound. That was in 2011.

FUN

Leather or lace? I’d wear leather and admire lace.
Black or red? Black
Satin sheets or smooth cotton? Cotton. Satin, although prettier, is simply too hot!
Ocean or mountains? Mountains.
City life or country life? Funny how we change in life. Ask me that twenty years ago and I’d have responded City in a heartbeat. Now, I crave the country life.
Party life or evening at home? A party is good from time to time, but I much prefer a cozy evening at home.
Dogs or cats? Cats (even though our family dog is totally my girl).
Tell us about It’s In the Mix (Wit and Wizardry Multi-Author #3)

Mix 1 part narrow minded fairy with 1 part human bachelor to get 2 parts love everlasting.

Aisling is not happy to be tending bar in a human pub. Her fairy aunt predicted she’d find love by the next full moon, and that means she should be back in Ireland — not in the middle of Massachusetts.

Despite the happy married lives of his friends, Daniel is content to remain a bachelor. After all, the pretty new bartender may want to come home with him. Why spoil that with a relationship?

Something might have happened on its own, but a mischievous pub owner slips each of them a Wit and Wizardry brew known to contain a powerful love potion. Before either can say a word, Aisling and Daniel find themselves tumbling headlong into love.

Unfortunately, all is not happily ever after. Aisling does not want to love a human, and Daniel believes he’s unfairly pressured her into being with him. When the pair settle down to breathe, can they discover something deeper to bind them, or will daylight make the heady effects of a potioned brew fade away?

Ayla Ruse Social Media

Handed a historical romance at young age, Ayla Ruse fell in love with love and with happy endings. Having grown up living life tasting a little of this and a little of that has not changed this attitude, but it’s expanded her views. Love isn’t always happy and it isn’t always the way a person “thinks it should be.” Sometimes it’s outside the box, and it’s always a challenge. Ayla is a stay-at-home mother who, in cooler weather, loves being outdoors, reading, and exploring.
