Know the Heroine from Pets in Space® 4 Star Cruise Idol’s Curse by Veronica Scott @vscotttheauthor #RLFblog #SciFi #romance
Veronica Scott, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your heroine, but first, tell us about the book.Pets in Space® 4 Star Cruise Idol’s Curse by Veronica Scott
Genre Scifi romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
One of the 13 all new stories in this year’s Pets in Space® 4 anthology to benefit Hero-Dogs INC.,
An unusual bequest….
Juli Shaeffer, the Nebula Zephyr’s cruise director, receives a mysterious bequest from the estate of a longtime passenger – a lump of rock taken from a reef on the planet Tahumaroa. Legend states anyone who steals from the ocean gods will be cursed. The passenger’s will requests the rock be returned to the beach so his heirs won’t be affected by the bad luck he believed he’d incurred. Juli doesn’t believe in superstitions and she agrees to carry out this small favor on the ship’s next stop at the planet in question.
Until the rock disappears from her office…
When the rock disappears and reappears in various locations around the ship, and seems connected to a steadily escalating series of mishaps, Juli turns to Third Officer Steve Aureli as the only one she feels she can trust. Along with Steve and his elderly Aunt Dian – a passenger aboard the Nebula Zephyr for this cruise – she investigates the strange series of malfunctions plaguing the interstellar luxury liner. Steve and Juli enlist his Aunt Dian’s dog, Charrli, a retired Sectors Z Corps canine, to help them track the missing rock as it moves about the ship.
Juli and Steve must find the rock, hang onto it and transport it to the planet’s surface, before the alien idol’s curse turns deadly. The attraction between the two of them grows as the threat to Juli becomes more and more focused. Can she carry out her task while he keeps her safe from the alien curse? Will the capricious alien idol bring them good fortune…or disaster?
Know the Heroine: Juli
Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
Juli would probably research the next stop for the Nebula Zephyr, since she’s the Cruise Director, and identify fun things for her passengers to do while on the planet.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
She tries to eat a healthy diet but she’s on the go all day so her snacks are fruits and nuts. If she was feeling really decadent, she’d go have a special ice cream cake in one of the ship’s upscale restaurants.
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
On duty she wears the cruise line’s blue and white uniforms, mixing and matching various approved pieces depending on the day’s activities. She likes to be casual in her time off but she does enjoy wearing a fabulous gown for special occasions.
Does she know how to fix things?
Juli knows how to problem solve for her passengers, so she knows who to talk to on the ship to resolve issues and she’s happy to work through the cruise line’s offices on various planets to fix problems encountered by passengers in their local travels. She’s not technically trained in any way so she’d call the ship’s chief engineer or ask the ship’s Artificial Intelligence to fix anything of that nature.
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
Earlier in the same cruise, one of the passengers, who is a famous opera singer, and who has symbiotic butterflies instead of hair, was pounced on by the ship’s cat. The alien butterflies flew away, the diva nearly died (because she lost her symbionts – the cat didn’t hurt her) and only the ship’s captain could persuade the singer not to sue. Luckily the butterflies returned. Juli had to apologize and swallow a lot of insults directed at the cat!
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
She’s very good with children, a natural at talking with them and discovering their interests and enthusiasms. She organizes a lot of activities on the cruise ship to keep passengers’ children happy and busy.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
She needs a loud alarm to wake up but once she does open her eyes, she’s a total morning person who jumps out of bed and dives into the day’s tasks. She’s always conscious of her To Do list and feels the pressure to get things done.
How does she act around people who don’t know what she is?
Juli has built up a healthy level of self-confidence over her years working in the interstellar cruise ship industry so she knows she can resolve problems and issues successfully. In her personal life, she’s a bit more insecure, as with her crush on Third Officer Steve Aureli. Fortunately the events in this story force Juli and Steve together in the course of their duties and she’s able to pursue the romance she’s always hoped to have.
Will she let a worker handle things or do it herself?
She has a bit of an inner conflict not doing everything herself but as she’s risen through the ranks, she’s had to learn to delegate effectively and not micro manage. She’s effective at training people to carry out their duties, which eases her mind, and she has a wonderful assistant on the Nebula Zephyr, who is able to fill in for Juli when the issue of the idol’s curse sidelines her.
Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?
I know Juli loves earrings but she doesn’t have any piercings or tattoos. She does like the tatts Officer Aureli has though.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
Since she lives aboard the ship, she borrows a groundcar from the local cruise line office if possible when she’s on a planet, or would rent a vehicle if necessary. She’s not much for public transit only because she’s always under so much time pressure.
Recycle or toss?
Definitely recycle!
Thanks for helping us get to know your heroine!

Linda O’Connor, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your heroine, but first, tell us about the book.Before the Whistle by Linda O’Connor
Genre Medical Hockey Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
Jordyn Kendra is a talented designer and savvy businesswoman. Spending eighteen hours a day establishing and running a successful business doesn’t leave much time for pursuing a relationship, and frankly she hasn’t really missed it. But when an invitation arrives that could help her fulfill her career dreams, she has to make a decision. What’s harder: going to a gala without a date or finding someone to ask?
Ben Matthews, head athletic therapist for the wildly popular Clarington Quakes hockey team, tends to stand out in a crowd. When Jordyn doesn’t recognize him, it puts a dent in his ego, but he catches her attention when he jumps in to save a life.
She’s a queasy bystander, cowering at the sight of blood, and he’s cool, calm, and confident, which she finds irresistible. With a little prodding from her spirited aunt, Jordyn realizes that she and Ben might be the perfect mismatch.
Before the Whistle – when cool and calm in an emergency is totally hot.

Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.
It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
She designs skate wear and swimwear for a living, and she’s learned the hard way that the fabric can do funny things in the water – transparency and shrinkage oh my. So as part of her routine, she whips up a a mock swimsuit and tests out the fabric in the water. The pool in her condo building is open 24 hours, so she’d be there testing out her latest creation.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
Chocolate Caramel Turtle Pie – it’s a fav!
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.

Does she know how to fix things?
She’s a master seamstress so she can fix anything – with fabric and thread.
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
She reluctantly tried to sign up for a First Aid/CPR course and ended up in a First Responder course.

She has 2 best friends who are doctors – and figure they’ll jump in to save a life. Why would she need to?
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
She recently made little duckling costumes for the local kiddy skating club. Putting little ones quickly at ease is part of her job.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
She wakes up slowly but gets up early.

Like a champ.

Know the Heroine from An Awareness of Evil in Mystic Desire by Dee S Knight @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #psychic #PNR
Dee S Knight, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your heroine, but first, tell us about the book.An Awareness of Evil in Mystic Desire by Dee S Knight
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Mystic Desire, is a collection of short paranormal romance stories. I have always been a big fan of short stories, both reading and writing them. For the reader it is a chance to read the work of a diverse group of authors. I have discovered some great writers from reading short stories. From the author’s prospective, it gives us a chance to experiment on something new, a different style, or something a bit more daring.
The themes are varied from native American Dream Catchers, to lustful, vampires. And from hot warlocks to a zombie apocalypse. There is something in this anthology for everyone, from soft and tender love, to hot passionate, kinky sex.
An Awareness of Evil – Dee S Knight
Only two things stand between evil and a small girl: the visions of Amanda McMasters and Detective Brendan Gilchrist. Neither can afford to be wrong.
Know the Heroine from An Awareness of Evil in Mystic Desire
Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.
It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
Professionally, Amanda is a fabric artist. She’s always tinkering with ideas and concepts that she can turn into stunning artistic pieces. But when she needs a break, she goes antiquing, tries a new recipe, gardens, or reads. Her commissions keep her pretty busy, however.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
A Baby Ruth candy bar. She hates seeing them on store endcaps because she’s always tempted to buy!
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
She’s one of those people who can throw on an old scarf and look stylish, so she looks good in most anything. When going out, she likes to wear skirts and colorful tops, with pumps. Yes, she’s old-fashioned that way. At home, comfort is paramount. She’s in tees or a long-sleeved knit shirt (Idaho gets cold!), sweatpants, comfy jeans, or cargo pants so she has plenty of places to stash all the things she likes to have handy.
Does she know how to fix things?
Yes. She’s been on her own since leaving school and has found that YouTube can help you fix almost anything. No clogged pipe is getting the best of Amanda McMasters!
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
This is an example of no good deed going unpunished–she tried to do the right thing and it went wrong. She used her psychic capability to save a child. When word got out, she was deluged with calls and visits from people clamoring for her help. She didn’t know how to handle it. Panicking and overwhelmed, she packed up and moved. Not a very good response.
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?She doesn’t “take” to children she doesn’t know, although she doesn’t dislike children in general. Children in need seem to have an affinity for her. This is the second child in danger who has reached out psychically for her help.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
Amanda is one of those dreaded “Oh look! It’s another beautiful day!” people. She likes her coffee first thing, but she’s perky even without it.
Can she use chopsticks?
No. Never seen a need for them.
Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?
Yes, and she drinks it black and strong.
What apps would she have on her phone?
She lives in a university town and would have an app for events at the school. Also, for several upscale fabric vendors she uses. Lastly, apps for galleries that feature her work.
Android or iPhone?
iPhone
Earrings or unpierced ears?
Pierced ears. While in school she once thought about getting her tongue pierced but backed out.
Tattoos or unadorned skin?
Unadorned skin.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
She has a truck but she’s close enough to downtown to walk, which she does frequently.
Recycle or toss?
Tossing is easier. Her town has made so many rules for recycling that she has to force herself to keep up and separate her trash. But she does because deep down she thinks it’s the right thing to do.

Sarah and Mike don’t respect each other’s jobs. When they have to work together, sparks fly and ice melts. Can they play a game they both can win?
Love on the ice doesn’t always go smoothly.
Know the Heroine from Between the Pipes
Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.
It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
She loves putting together fancy tablescapes – it’s relaxing and creative. She has over ten sets of coloured dishes and a variety of tablecloths, napkins, and napkin rings to play with.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
She would go out of her way for a piece of turtle pie – caramel and chocolate decadence.
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
She prefers a casual professional look – nothing flashy. She runs a mobile clinic for street youth and wants to be able to connect with them quickly. Definitely sweats or yoga pants to relax at home.
Does she know how to fix things?
Only with respect to the human body. She’s a family doctor.
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
Sarah tried to do a favour for her best friend and professional hockey team doctor, Dr. Danni Angelo, by covering a hockey game. However, because of a childhood trauma, stepping into a rink isn’t easy for her. She was a little green around the gills and had to push through a feeling of lightheadedness when an emergency on the ice couldn’t wait. The doctor in the rink could’ve used a doctor in the rink!
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
She’s kind and welcoming – always smiling and encouraging.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
She wakes up alert and ready to go – from years of being on call.
Can she use chopsticks?
For table decorating: like a pro. For eating: not so much.
Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?
No coffee – she didn’t acquire a taste for it. She’ll have a mango and avocado smoothie instead – packs a good morning punch to get her going.
What apps would she have on her phone?
CPS (Compendium of Pharmaceuticals and Specialties), UptoDate, Mobile Banking, Grey’s Anatomy, Napkin Folding 2.0
Android or iPhone?
iPhone
Earrings or unpierced ears?

Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
What happens when a resentful man is determined to win the favor of the one you love?
For years Atol Livia has desired only one thing—to move north, far from the corruption of his father’s business, and start a life with the woman he loves. That is if Anna Jenel can look past his poverty and will agree to marry him. When Anna informs him that she gave her heart to him long ago, never once caring about any wealth he might have, he’s elated. But their plans are delayed when Atol’s father is found murdered. Once Atol has finally settled his obligations and is able to leave town, he goes to collect Anna but discovers that she is gone.
Anna doesn’t understand why her father whisked her away in the middle of the night to travel north. When they arrive, she finds a fully operational cattle station, and an associate of her father’s willing to do anything to gain possession of it—even marry her.
When Atol arrives up north, all he can think of is being reunited with Anna. But he soon discovers that the man who murdered his father now has his eyes set on Anna and will do whatever is necessary in order to have her as his wife. This man is determined to gain possession of Anna’s cattle station and the orange sapphires hidden there.

Desperate to remember what she’d been told, along with her already growing love of writing, Faye began to write about the history of her local area. Never could she have imagined the history of her small home town in Australia would become a growing list of published books.
Faye’s passionate stories combine controversial subjects and provocative encounters as her characters struggle to survive the lifestyle in early rural townships throughout Australia. She explores slavery and abortion, drug addiction and murder, as well as forbidden love and passionate affairs of the heart.
When she’d not writing, Faye enjoys sharing a bottle of wine with her husband in their ever-growing garden, and encouraging the varied interests of their combined family of nine children.
