Olivia Night, a fictional character herself, has always been an avid reader and writer. She found the romance genre in college and has never been able to get enough. One sleepless night, the main characters of Book One in her Men of FTI series sprang from her head fully formed. They demanded she tell their story; so she did. As they revealed themselves, so did two other intriguing characters. Those characters convinced her to give them their own books because their stories were worth telling too. And so Olivia suddenly became a romance author. When Olivia is not writing, she has the best job in the world, which, too, will remain a secret. In her free time, she reads, write, drinks wine, or is, most likely, out emulating Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Olivia lives in one of the most diverse and vibrant cities in the U.S. — Baltimore. She lives with her cat, which she is convinced was a gladiator in his past life. Olivia plans to continue being awesome at this thing called life. Really, thatâs her only goal.Author Social Media

The Turkish Affair #contemporary romantic #suspense @JArleneCuliner #RLFblog
The Turkish Affair by J. Arlene Culiner.About the Author
Born in New York, raised in Toronto, J. Arlene Culiner has spent most of her life in England, Germany, Turkey, Greece, Hungary and the Sahara. She now resides in a 400-year-old former inn in a French village of no interest and, much to public dismay, protects all creatures, especially spiders and snakes. She works as an actress, a photographer, a contemporary artist, a musician, writes mysteries, history books and perfectly believable romances. Her heroines are funny and gutsy; her heroes, dashingly lovable; and all are (proudly) over the age of forty.Interview with J. Arlene Culiner
Why did you write this book?I know that many readers expect a romantic suspense to resemble what they see on television: danger, stalkers, a serial killers or two, violence, car chases, shoot outs and terror. But I dislike television, and Iâve always preferred realistic stories, even in the romance genre. It seems to me that if I were being threatened by a madman, Iâd be so wrought up, I wouldnât have time to fall in love â and for me that means, getting to know the other person, finding common interests, feeling those first gentle feelings of soft magic. None of that is possible in dangerous situations; and besides, in real life, thereâs very rarely, a gorgeous, sexy interested secret agent on hand ready to rescue you.I did however, want to write a love story as well as a suspense, and I came up with The Turkish Affair, a mystery where there is certainly menace, but itâs more psychological. Yes, there has been a murder, but itâs off stage : no description, no chases, no screaming sirens. I wanted a strong-willed but warm and brave heroine, a gorgeous hero who is both intelligent and tender. I also wanted an exotic setting â the archaeological site of Karakuyu in central Turkey, once home to the long-vanished Hittites. I added true stories as well, and real places, and a few strange characters I met while living in Turkey.What is your favorite genre to read?I read everything, switching back and forth constantly: contemporary romance, biography, mysteries, mainstream literature, history â particularly that of eastern Europe â classics. Every book has its right moment.Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?Saul Bellowâs Moses E. Herzog? Stella Gibbonsâ Flora Post? Salingerâs Holden Caulfield? No, there are far too many others. Impossible to choose one. And besides, all great characters have terrible flaws.What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?Iâm presently working on 1) a creative non-fiction work about a small village in eastern Hungary, 2) a contemporary romance that takes place in Blakeâs Folly, the same Nevada community I used in my previous romance, All About Charming Alice, and 3) a series of portraits.All three projects are so different from each other, Iâll have to wait and see which one pulls the strongest. Theyâll all get finished eventually, I think, but none will be completed in the coming months. I need years to write a book, perfect the story and refine the language.Please tell us about your latest book.A top notch Washington journalist before a liaison with the wrong man implicated her in scandal, Anne Pierson has been hiding in backwoods Turkey and working as a translator. Sheâs determined to keep her past a secret, to avoid personal relationships. But after meeting Renaud Townsend, her discrete little world is turned upside down.Archaeologist Renaud Townsend is troubled by Anne Piersonâs refusal to talk about her past, but instinct tells him he can rely on her. Or is it only desire speaking? A lusty love affair for the duration of the summer dig is a very appealing idea.When Anneâs bad reputation links her to stolen artefacts and murder, the budding romance with Renaud comes to a halt. If they learn to trust one another, her name can be cleared. But is there still enough intensity to give love a second chance?About the BookTitle: The Turkish AffairGenre: Contemporary Romance/Romantic SuspenseAuthor: J.

Title Viking GoldGenre Romantic AdventureBook heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13Norway is the land of Vikings and myths, and deep in a fjord, a sunken Nazi plane filled with gold.Which is exactly the kind of adventure Abby Carswell and Hermann Weiss relish undertaking. Enough so to make them push aside their misgivings over their enigmatic new business partner.Abby, an adrenaline junkie, barely avoids deathâs scythe on every quest she undertakes. Hermann knows he canât continue to watch the woman he loves put herself deliberately in harmâs way. He wants her to choose the power of their love over her need to beat the odds.But first they have to survive this hunt for Viking gold which has turned deadly after they discover the treasure has mythic qualities and is coveted for its power. Their quest becomes a battle against an evil whose tentacles may run deeper than this single expedition.Live The Adventure ~ Love The RomanceIntroducing Hermann Weiss
Welcome to Romance Lives Forever! We’re happy to have you here today.Name: Hermann WeissAge: 43Gender: MaleBirthplace: GermanyProfession: Engineer/Inventor, oh, and add treasure hunter, which I love, not for the money but for the adventure.Ethnicity/Species (if not human):Describe your body and build, skin tone, height and weight. Include any unique features such as dimples, freckles, or scars: Looking in a mirror is not something I do often, but describing myself would be tall, dark blond with blue eyes. Abby says I have a stubborn chin, I prefer the word strong. The other day a young woman wanted my autograph, Abby gently broke it to her that I wasnât Chris Hemsworth. Iâm not quite sure the lady believed my wife, though I canât see the similarities.Who is the significant other in your life?Abigail Carswell, or Abby/Ab for short. She is truly my other half.Please tell us a little about yourself.Thank you for having me as your guest today. Iâm the youngest of two boys. My father was the brilliant engineer and founder of Weiss Engineering in Germany. My elder brother and my father perished in a quest to find the famed diamond sword in Viet Namâs Son Doong Cave. People blamed it on my fatherâs equipment, but I refuse to believe that. I rebuilt the business and far exceeded anyoneâs expectations. Engineering is my lifeâs blood, but treasure hunting is my soul. My heart belongs to Abby Carswell.What is your viewpoint on wealth?Wealth gives one opportunities, but it doesnât bring happiness or love or give one intelligence. Itâs a tool.What past event causes you the most fear?Abbyâs capture and near sacrifice in the Yucatan. Outwitting an immortal took every ounce of belief in myself along with Tori and Reid. I still shudder when I realize just how close to failing we were.What is your biggest personal flaw?Self-preservation. But only when there is nothing else I can do to solve the problem, and that has happened twice. I like, in fact often feel compelled to be in control. Self-preservation can take many forms, it doesnât necessarily mean flight. Although it did with Abby.How do you express disappointment?With silence and withdrawal. I pull into myself. I donât want to be around anyone. Even those whom I love.How emotionally expressive are you to others?Youâre asking fairly uncomfortable questions here, at least for me. (Interviewers note: Hermann said this with a devastatingly wicked smile.)To those I trust and love, emotion comes easily. Germans can be of two disparate camps, either very emotional or not. There are four people in my life with whom I can be completely honest and open. My wife, Abby, her twin, Tori. Toriâs husband Reid and Alfred Choy. Each of these took time and tests to earn my trust, thus my ability to share emotions.Who in your life has the power to hurt you the most and why?Abby. I nearly walked away from her while we were on our quest in Norway because she was always looking for that next adventure, taking chances that were in my opinion, way too risk-laden. I thought leaving her would be the only way to hide my fear of losing her in some God awful way. I was wrong.What would you like people who hear your story to know?I was introduced in Stone of Heaven, Book 1 in the Carswell Adventure Series. Viking Gold continues with Victoria (Tori) who is now married to Reid Hunter. But Viking Gold is really itâs own book, about what love it, putting those you love above yourself and of course the treasure hunt. Itâs really full of twists and turns. L.A. Sartor can pen our stories any time.Buy This Book
