    #amreading Hidden Desire #8 Vespian Way #SFR by Barbara Donlon Bradley @barbbradley #RLFblog

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

    About the Author

    Writing for Barbara Donlon Bradley started innocently enough.
    Like most, she kept diaries, journals, and wrote an occasional letter but she also
    had a vivid imagination and wrote scenes and short stories adding characters to
    her favorite shows and comic books. As time went on she found the passion for writing
    to be a strong drive for her. Humor is also very strong in her life. No matter how
    hard she tries to write something deep and dark, it will never happen. That humor
    bleeds into her writing. Since she can’t beat it she has learned to use it to her
    advantage. Now she lives in Tidewater, Virginia with two cats, one mother in law
    – who’s 87 — her husband, and son.

    Interview with Barbara Donlon Bradley

    Why did you write this
    book?
    Because if I didn’t, I think my characters would have beaten
    me up in my sleep. This is the 8th book in a series I’ve been working on.
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    I like reading what I write which is SF/futuristic but I also
    edit for a publisher so I’m reading a lot of different genres. It’s something I
    enjoy and it makes me a little sharper when I edit my own work.
    Who is your favorite character
    from fiction (not including your own)?
    Wow – I have to pick just one? Hmmm, I’ve always loved Thomas
    Covenant the Unbeliever – I loved the series so much I bought the books in hardback
    back when I was young and broke.
    What are you working on
    at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    I am finishing the edits on book 9 of my series titled Timeless
    Desire. I changed the timeline leaving only two people who know what happened and
    their job is to set it right. Then I’m working on the next book in the series, editing
    a werewolf book I wrote several years ago and have a short story I want to write
    about dragons.
    Please tell us about your
    latest book.
    Heather wants to fight beside her people, not watch from a safe
    distance. So when her brother comes up with a way to disguise her she jumps at the
    chance. Now she can try out for an elite team to help defeat Reasta, who has a stronghold
    on their planet. No one knows who she is, including her mate, who has also been
    disguised. They must find each other, qualify for the team and help rescue the elders
    without being found out.

    his country hometown would never understand.
    After years of hard work and a chance invitation to a gay gentlemen’s
    club, Jack is discovered. Soon, his talent, matinee idol good looks, and affable
    personality propel him to the height of stardom. But fame breeds distrust.

    Character Interview of Rescuing Cade @ElodieParkes #RLFblog #comeandgetyourlove

    Rescuing Cade
    by Elodie Parkes

    The character interview allows a hero or heroine to tell
    readers about himself or herself. Today’s interview is with Cde from Rescuing
    Cade.

    Cade’s trying to get over a broken heart when his friend Jack
    takes him off to a nightclub, named only, The Club. Although at first Cade is shocked
    by the place he meets Marissa. It’s not long before he and Marissa get together,
    but under the pressure of expectations from, The Club, and Marissa’s fear of commitment,
    they’re both running in opposite directions.
    Gorgeous Cade has touched Marissa’s heart in ways she doesn’t
    want to admit.
    Lovely Marissa has lifted Cade’s sadness and opened his heart
    to love again.
    The trouble is — someone has to give a little. Who’s it going
    to be?

    About the Book

    Title Rescuing Cade
    Genre BDSM Romance
    Author Elodie Parkes
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    What’s the background
    to the story, Rescuing Cade?
    I was asked to write a story for an anthology.
    Almost immediately I had my character, Cade, form in my head and a love story for
    him, but then I was informed the anthology would be BDSM. I thought I’d have trouble
    with the genre, but the editor of the proposed anthology said, ‘give it a go’. I
    began to adapt the love story in my mind for the character Cade, thinking I’d have
    to consider the plot for a short time, but only a few days later the anthology was
    cancelled. By then Cade was so real to me and a story with a sprinkle of the genre,
    BDSM, was firmly in my mind, so I wrote it.
    The story is much longer than I originally thought it might be,
    especially when it was going to be for an anthology, and the romance conflict arc
    is now about both Cade and my heroine, Marissa. As usual, I fell in love with my
    characters and couldn’t stop writing until they reached their HEA.
    I did a little research for this story because I didn’t know
    much about the type of club Jack, Cade’s friend, takes him to. Once I no longer
    needed to place emphasis on dominance and submission, the story unfolded easily,
    interweaving with the original love story I had for Cade when he first began whispering
    in my ear.
    With scorching hot love scenes, tender moments, a dash of angst
    and a splash of humor this is Cade’s journey to love again.
    I hope readers enjoy it.

    Character Interview with Cade Cassidy

    Visiting today, we have Cade Cassidy from the new Evernight Publishing romance release, Rescuing Cade.
    Hi Cade, thanks for coming
    along to the blog today
    Hi, thank you for inviting me. I have to say it’s a little embarrassing
    seeing my story published, although it’s great too.
    What’s embarrassing about
    it?
    Well, without giving too much away, the way Marissa and I meet
    is unusual, I think … (He looks around and smiles as if remembering it.)
    So, Cade, tell us something
    about Marissa.
    She’s pretty, intelligent, lots of fun and best of all she’s
    mine.
    What is, The Club? It’s
    mysteriously referred to in the book blurb.
    The Club, is the name of the BDSM club that my buddy, Jack, takes
    me to. He’s trying to lighten me up right at the start of the story, because truth
    is, I was still recovering from a bad break up. There’s a great description of The
    Club, in the story, which is sexy and gives a good picture of what goes on there.
    A BDSM club … Cade are
    you a Sub or a Dom?
    (He stares at me for a moment with his gorgeous blue eyes.)
    I’d rather not say. The whole thing is still a little gray for
    me. (Now he’s smiling.)
    Okay let’s have some quick
    questions. What’s your favorite, jeans, or a suit?
    I wear suits and jeans. I don’t have a favorite because I have
    some cool suits for work and some great faded denims that I throw on when I’m not
    working. It took me a while to get those jeans just the way I like them, ripped
    and faded. Marissa especially likes the tear in the upper thigh part.
    Do you ever go commando?
    (He grins and his eyes twinkle)
    Er, yes, sometimes in my favorite jeans, the ones I just described.
    Once in a suit when Marissa and I went to The Club to meet with friends there.
    Do you like making love
    with the lights off or on?
    Both, either, it depends … Marissa likes candlelight (He smiles)
    Coffee or Cola?
    Has to be coffee. Are you offering me a cup … I didn’t get breakfast
    One more question. Maybe
    it’s a moot point since you’ve mentioned The Club, but here is it. In bed, toys
    or no toys? (Okay, he’s laughing now.)
    The answer’s the same as lights on or off, both depending on
    the situation. I seriously need coffee now.
