Package Deal – Single Dad Anthology
Families come in all shapes and sizes. Divorced, widowed, adopted, blended, fostered, gay or straight — each family has unique tale. Join these authors as they tell stories of amazing single dads who find love in unexpected places. Laugh, cry, get a little hot, maybe even throw your phone. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Hacking Planet Fun
Kam, Master of the Thieves’ Guild Academy on the planet Kelthia, deals with a school full of fledgling thieves, con artists, and hackers, and doesn’t need attitude from students or faculty. When he rejects a half-feline half-human prodigy for unmanageable behavior, his ex, Brinn, fosters the girl himself.
Brinn handles the unruly child well, and Kam grudgingly agrees she shows great potential as a future thief. Missing Brinn, Kam seeks to win him back. But when the child comes under suspicion as having hacked Planet Fun, an empire-renowned anti-gravity theme park, Kam must decide whether to trust his well-honed instincts… or his long-divided heart.
A twist on academy stories, the male-male science fiction romance Hacking Planet Fun focuses on the staff, and introduces a classroom of tiny precocious thieves who will steal your heart.

What Ari Jade eats for dinner, from Warrior Priest by Kate Hill @katehillromance #RLFblog #SciFi #Romance
In Kate Hill’s science fiction romance, Warrior Priest, will a free-spirited priestess from a new age commune find unconditional love with a warrior priest from a strict religion?
Kate, 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 book.Warrior Priest by Kate Hill
Genre Science Fiction Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
What happens when a warrior priest from a strict religion meets a free-spirited priestess from a new age commune?
Jade and Selena are as different as two people can be, but to facilitate an alliance between their worlds, they engage in a cultural exchange. With their galaxy in danger from a planet that wants to conquer or destroy all others, they realize the importance of their assignment, but it is difficult for a warrior priest and a nonviolent priestess to understand each other.
Selena is both attracted and appalled by his old school masculinity, and Jade is tempted to break his vow of celibacy until marriage due to his powerful desire for her. Will this unlikely pair not only find common ground, but unconditional love?
Let’s chat about what to eat
First, what is your name and how old are you?
My name is Jade, or Ari Jade, if you want to be formal. I’m thirty-four years old.
What is the time period in which you live?
It’s the modern era on my planet—I’m from Covenant—but to someone from Earth during your time, it would be the distant future.
What is your favorite meal?
Land and Sea Delight. It’s sea greens wrapped in noodles with garden snake strips on the side. My mouth waters just thinking about it.
If any, what food do you refuse to eat?
I don’t think there’s a food invented that I’d refuse to eat. Selena always teases me about my appetite. That’s just another way we’re complete opposites. She doesn’t eat much, and she’s vegan.
When you find yourself with some type of unknown food on your plate, what do you do?
Eat it. When you nearly starve to death while trapped for weeks in an ice cave, you learn to appreciate food in a way you never imagined before.
Have you ever eaten military style rations, and if so, what was your favorite?
Yeah, I’m a warrior priest. Meat stew.
Do you skip breakfast or is eating that a must-do for you?
The only time I skip a meal is if I’m forced to or during our annual fast.
Do you keep snacks on hand, and if so, what are they?
Fruit nut mix. Jerky. Cereal bars.
Who are your favorite people to share meals with?
Selena, even though she’s vegan. Just kidding. I’ve had some really good vegan meals since meeting her. At her commune, they have a recipe for sweet potatoes that’s so good I can almost taste it now.
Tell us what your author eats or drinks while writing about you.
Kate is basically a water drinker. I’m with her there. Nothing tastes as good as water when you’re really thirsty. As for food, she has a weakness for dark chocolate and peanut butter.
If your author has a pet, what does she feed the animal?
She has dogs, a cat, and hermit crabs. The dogs eat wet and dry food, sometimes mixed with a little pumpkin. One of her dogs loves apples and celery for snacks. The other won’t touch either one. Her cat prefers cat food with turkey and won’t touch the ones with fish. The crabs? She feeds them fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts, and a variety of dried crab food, calcium powder, and worm castings. Sometimes they enjoy a little popcorn, too.
Same question for you. What do you feed your pet/s?
At this time I don’t have any pets, not because I don’t like animals, but because I’m not home very often, even though that’s about to change. Since meeting Selena, a lot has changed, and I mean that in a good way.

Read the series: Shadow’s Edge by Jami Gray @JamiGrayAuthor #RLFblog #UF
After a lifetime hunting monsters, can Raine stop her prey from exposing the supernatural community one bloody corpse at a time? Find out in this suspense-filled, urban fantasy series first from Jami Gray.
Jami, 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.
Shadow’s Edge in the Kyn Kronicles
Genre Urban Fantasy / Paranormal Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Raine’s spent a lifetime hunting monsters, but can she stop her prey from exposing the supernatural community one bloody corpse at a time?
Everyone fears the hunter in the shadows – even the monsters…
Raine McCord, forged in the brutal maelstrom of magic and science, is an elite hunter at home hunting monsters through the murky shadows of the supernatural world of the Kyn. Not an easy task when you’re trying to keep the humans ignorant of the existence of creatures typically confined to campfire tales. And gets worse when a series of disappearances and deaths in the Kyn community suggests someone wants to rip the thin veil of secrecy aside and expose the horror lurking behind the curtain.
To even the odds, Raine is forced to partner with another hunter, the sexy and tantalizing Witch-Fey, Gavin Durand. Their partnership proves to be as challenging and dangerous as the prey they hunt. Especially when the trail leads back to the foundation that warped Raine’s magic as a child and threatens to resurrect the nightmares of her past.
Determine to stop the threat to the Kyn, Raine and Gavin stalk their prey through a maze of lies, murder, and greed, but will the price they pay be too high?
If you like fast-paced, suspense-filled, dark urban fantasy with a thrilling edge, then grab your copy of Jami Gray’s riveting Shadow’s Edge, the first in her Kyn Kronicles series.
Which book is this in the series?
This it the first book in the Kyn Kronicles where you get to know Raine McCord and Gavin Durand.
How many books do you plan for the series?
There are six books in the initial arc, and I say “initial arc” because I expected to eventually return to the Kyn with more books as there are more than enough characters to steal the spotlight.
How many books are completed?
Six, but Shadow’s Fall will release initially into Kindle Unlimited in July 2022 because the series spent a couple years in KU and I don’t want to leave those readers hanging. It will only be in for 90 days, then it will join the other five books at all retailers in October 2022.
What characters are the main stars in your series?
This was my first series, so I didn’t do the traditional one couple through the whole series. Shadow’s Edge, Shadow’s Soul and Shadow’s Fall all center on Raine McCord and Gavin Durand. Shadow’s Moon is Raine’s best friend, Xander’s story as she deals with her reluctant mate and alpha, Warrick. Shadow’s Curse is Natasha’s time to shine as she locks horns with Darius, and Shadow’s Dream gives us a chance to find out Cheveyo’s heart-breaking history as he reconnects with his one and only, Tala.
What is the overall theme in this series?
The supernatural race knowns as the Kyn have spent centuries hiding in the shadows, but human curiosity and rise of technology is forcing the Kyn to step into light of the mortal world. But what happens when those who populate fairy tales turn out to be all too real?
Please list the series titles below, in any order you prefer.
Shadow’s Edge
Shadow’s Soul
Shadow’s Moon
Shadow’s Curse
Shadow’s Dream
Shadow’s FallWhat did you like best about writing this series?
It was the first series I ever wrote, so I had a blast with the world creation, but in doing so, I broke some rules that made it challenging later on when I needed things to come together.
What other books (not in this series, have you written?)
For now, it’s a complete series, but there’s quite the cast waiting in the wings.

As she tries to solve the mystery of what happens to the ship right before midnight each time the day repeats, Raelyn meets Kev Gordonn, the former Special Forces soldier turned actor and finds herself falling in love with him. Each time the day repeats, she learns more about him while he has no memory of her. Can she persuade him they’ve met before? Will he trust her enough to help stop the Nebula Zephyr’s destruction?

Eileen, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We want to hear your tech tip, but first, please tell us about Celtan Dilemma.
Celtan Dilemma is about a group of women who must choose to kill innocents including children or become traitors to their own species. Once they make their choice, they learn things are not as they’ve been told and the Celtan race offers options they’ve never had.
Celtan Dilemma by Eileen Troemel
Genre Scifi romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Traitor or criminal?
Lieutenant Lillian Buckner receives orders to take her squad of women pilots out to specific coordinates and destroy an unarmed transport. Lilly must decide whether to be a war criminal by firing on an unarmed vessel or to be a traitor and disobey her orders. Her life and those of her six pilots depends on her decision. No matter her decision, the punishment may kill her if she returns to the human forces.
Trust or Punish?
Lord Hugh Korol fights against the humans. They invaded the Celtan’s territory and took sectors of space from them. The humans attacked their home world. When human women aid one of their unarmed transports, he must decide what to do to them. Can he trust the one he desires or will she break more than the fragile trust growing between them?
Tech Tip
With working a day job and writing, my eyes get tired of staring at a screen. I tried writing on a tablet but the transcription was problematic and it took more time to correct the words so I’d lose the flow of my writing.
I love to write. Give me a spiral notebook and pen and I’ll write a complete novel that way. Except then of course, I have to type it up. I learned about Rocketbook and beacons at my day job but for my day job, I didn’t really need it. However, as an author, I saw a lot of potential. When I initially looked into it, it did not transcribe writing to words in a document it only took a picture. So I set it aside and did not use it. Fast forward a couple years, my middle daughter says mom do you want a Rocketbook. I asked if it could transcribe. She said no. I thought well I could try it and see if I could make it work. We got them and I set it aside to work on later. Then in my email, the company emailed to say here’s this new feature. You guessed it – Transcription. I had to try it immediately.
You can get the Rocketbooks in a variety of sizes. I have three – flip pad (think police officer’s notebook), journal size 6 x 9, and then spiral size. My favorite is the spiral size. It has lines and I can fit a lot on one page.
First time I did, I learned a lot. So I’ve written in a journal forever and in my journal, I write from top to bottom and side to side. So Rocketbook spiral, this is what I did. No. Leave plenty of space at the top and at the bottom there’s a QT code which the software uses to do it’s magic. Also don’t crowd your words or write edge to edge. It didn’t take me long to adjust my style for this.
So at the end of the day when my eyes are blurry from looking at a screen but I still want to write, I pull out this spiral size notebook and write. It’s soothing, relaxing, and allows me to continue to write when I struggle with screen work.
The software – app on your smart phone – takes a little to get used to but it is fairly simple. But you must have patience.
Two things I’ve figured out. My scans go to my One Note. You can also send them only to your email and there are all sorts of options. So in One Note you have to have a page available. But I’ve found it comes in to One Note faster if I have my email open as well.
At the top I write ## Title of Book ## This creates a tag in their software. So I add a number for pages – ## Celtan Dilemma 1 ## and ## Celtan Dilemma 2 ## and so on. This allows me to know if I’ve received each page I scanned.
Now the transcription. I am right handed and have relatively neat handwriting. Things that mess up – when letters go below the line it will interfere with the letters on the next line. If I write sloppy, it will put odd things in. But for the most part, it does a good job and as they technology moves forward, I believe it will improve.
This has all been about the books – what are the beacons and how can they be used? Oh I was excited to learn about the beacons. So these are little triangles you buy and can put on whiteboards – according to their ads and product information. The thing is when I read about them I thought of other uses for them.
How many of you have spirals of your writing that you’ll do something with some day? Transcribing handwritten stuff is a pain. It’s time consuming and tedious. But here’s where the beacons come in. Open your spiral of handwritten materials, take your four triangles and the software and start scanning. It takes a little to get used to how to do it, but I scanned three handwritten poems in a short period of time. Now I have them electronically. Even if it’s not in a spiral (if you’re like me) and it’s on the back of an envelope or post it or something else, put your triangles around the text and scan.
I have a handwritten cook book from my mom which I plan to use both the picture of the scan (so we can keep her handwriting) and the transcription of the text. When I’m done, I hope to have a family cookbook which includes family stories about food. Ultimately with this technology, I’ll be able to write wherever and however I want and transcribe it fairly easily. This will give my eyes a break and allow me more flexibility with my writing.
