    5 Easy Questions: Kelley Heckart author The Bear Goddess @CelticChick #RLFblog #Fantasy

    5 Easy Questions is an interview is designed to be quick,
    easy, and fun. Today’s guest is Kelley Heckart.
    What were you like when
    you were in school?
    I was quiet and shy. My teachers wrote on my report cards that
    I needed to speak up more in class.
    What is your favorite
    quote?
    “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks
    of changing himself.” Leo Tolstoy
    What was your favorite
    book as a child?
    I started reading at age 4 so I don’t remember what I liked then,
    but I do remember when I was a little older I liked the Nancy Drew series. I do
    remember a favorite book as a pre-teen: Where the Red Fern Grows. I also liked The
    Outsiders.
    What was the last movie
    you watched (home or theater)?
    Divergent. I liked it because there was a strong female heroine
    who wasn’t afraid to fight back.
    If the hero of your latest
    book called you on the phone, what would be a perfect ringtone for him?
    My latest hero is a centaur shifter so I guess it would be a
    song about horses. Wild Horses by the Rolling Stones would be his ringtone. I love
    that song.

    About the Book

    Genre: Greek myths/fantasy
    Author: Kelley Heckart
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Romance, fantasy and magic in Bronze Age Arcadia (Greece)
    Forbidden love…Broken vows…Betrayal…
    Callisto, the daughter of the great Arcadian King Lycaon and

    among the nymphs of Artemis, taking a sacred vow of purity. But when she meets a
    mysterious man, her life changes forever.
    Kasin is a prince among the fierce centaurs and one of few who
    can take human shape. A follower of Zeus, he is mystified to save a nymph’s life
    and even worse, to fall in love with an enemy of the centaurs. He is torn between
    his duty to his people and his love for Callisto.
    When
    the nymphs capture Kasin for their next sacrifice, his capture threatens to expose
    his secret connection with Callisto and her betrayal to Artemis. Soul bound to him,
    she cannot allow him to be sacrificed and helps him escape. Obsessed with having
    Callisto for himself, the god Pan is determined to kill the centaur. On the run
    from the nymphs, danger and betrayal follow Kasin and Callisto. To survive, they
    must evade Pan’s vengeance as well as others who also want to keep them apart. Will
    their love for each other be enough to save them?

    5 Easy Questions: JM Stewart author of Risking It All @JMStewartWriter #RLFblog #Contemporary

    Risking It All 
    5 Easy Questions is an interview is designed to be quick,
    easy, and fun. Today’s guest is JM Stewart.
    What is your go-to meal to order when you dine out? Your favorite
    “I know it will hit the spot” item.
    Well, I had my gallbladder
    out a year ago and have since had to start eating healthier (aka boring. Lol). Low
    fat, low carb, gluten free. So right now, my favorite “dine out” meal
    would be a good grilled chicken salad. My favorite is the naked grilled chicken
    salad at Q-Doba. Before though? I didn’t really have one. I like variety. But usually
    anything with chicken and pasta. Though I am fond a good teriyaki. Depends on my
    mood.
    What were you like when you were in school?
    Oh geez. I was that quiet
    girl in the back of the class trying not to be noticed. lol Not a geek, but definitely
    not popular either. I was a “band fag” (pardon the term; it’s what we
    called ourselves) in high school. lol
    Would you rather stay inside and watch snow falling, or get
    out in it and build a snowman?
    Get out in it and build
    a snowman for sure. I don’t like being cold, but when it snows, I’m still a kid
    at heart. I want to get out my gloves and boots and go throw snowballs. lol
    What is your favorite quote?
    From Diana Gabaldon’s
    Outlander. It’s a favorite because I can relate to him in this moment.
    “Sassenach?”
    “Yes?”
    “Ye know the fortress
    I told ye of, the one inside me?”
    “I remember.”
    He smiled without opening
    his eyes, and reached out a hand for me.
    “Well, I’ve a lean-to
    built, at least. And a roof to keep out the rain.”
    If the hero of your latest book called you on the phone, what
    would be a perfect ringtone for him?
    Something that would
    make people laugh when they heard it. Kyle’s kind of a goofball. He’s a great big
    kid at heart. Like that “Kung Foo Fighting” song, just because you couldn’t
    help but laugh (at least, I couldn’t) when it went off in a public place.

    About the Book

    Genre Contemporary Romance
    Author JM Stewart

    She’s everything he wants…
    For years, Kyle Morgan has hidden his true feelings from the
    gorgeous girl next door that he grew up loving and protecting. But when she shows
    up at his apartment in the middle of the night, desperately needing comfort and
    support, his iron will begins to waver…
    …and the only thing he can’t bear to lose.
    Kyle was always the big brother Cecelia Anton never had, but
    suddenly her goofy best friend has become a sexy man she can’t keep her thoughts—or
    hands—off of. As their deep connection melts into uncontrollable desire, Ceci is
    willing to put it all on the line for a shot at true love. Only Kyle is keeping
    a terrible secret about Ceci’s past that could destroy not only their lifelong friendship
    but their happily-ever-after…

    5 Easy Questions MJ Schiller author of Leap into the Knight @mjschiller #RLFblog #ScifiRom

    Leap into the Knight 
    5 Easy Questions is an interview is designed to be quick, easy,
    and fun. Today’s guest is MJ Schiller.
    What is your go-to meal to order when you dine out? Your favorite
    “I know it will hit the spot” item.
    Ha! Love this! My kids
    always make fun of me because I will always order chicken quesadillas if they are
    on the menu.
    What were you like when you were in school?
    Yikes! I was the nerdy
    bookworm up until high school. Then I became a “popular” girl because
    hung out with some people high in social status. Someone once told me they expected
    me to be a snob and were surprised I was nice. They based this assumption on a particular
    jacket I wore with what they believed to be a designer name on the lining. I then
    informed them that I bought that jacket saving money I earned mowing lawns and vacuuming
    houses and it wasn’t a major designer name, just a Target brand name. It
    was one sweet jacket though. Corduroy, with patches on the elbows…
    Would you rather stay inside and watch snow falling, or get
    out in it and build a snowman?
    Ooh! Stay inside! Stay
    inside and make everyone else hot chocolate. I do occasionally like playing in the
    snow, but it’s like an every five year kind of thing. ;)
    What is your favorite quote?
    Winston Churchill~ “Never,
    never, never give up.” Or “You are unrepeatable. There is a magic about
    you that is all your own…” –D.M. Dellinger
    Or “All right, they’re
    on our left, they’re on our right, they’re in front of us, they’re behind us…they
    can’t get away this time.” –Louis B. “Chesty” Puller, Lt. Gen., USMC
    Just one more, I swear:
    “The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone
    said to themselves, ‘You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but
    I’m just not close enough to get the job done.'” I’m a bit twisted.
    If the hero of your latest book called you on the phone, what
    would be a perfect ringtone for him?
    “Oh, What A Night”
    by The Four Seasons because he’s a Knight of the High Order!

    About the Book

    5 Easy Questions: Mel Curtis Author of Breaking the Rules #RLFblog #contemporary

    Breaking The Rules  

    5 Easy Questions is an interview is designed to be quick,
    easy, and fun. Today’s guest is Melinda Curtis.

    What is your go-to meal
    to order when you dine out? Your favorite “I know it will hit the spot”
    item.
    Chicken, apple, walnut, gorgonzola salad.
    Who is your “book
    boyfriend”? You know, that hottie you read about and drool over.
    My latest preoccupation is with Cyrus Jones from The Hot Zone
    (Jayne Castle). Take some sexy, add some paranormal and I’m in!
    What were you like when
    you were in school?
    Will my kids read this? I should probably talk about elementary
    school. I was a model student, of course.

    I’m inside, drinking wine in front of the fire and reading a
    good book.
    What is your favorite
    quote?
    “Don’t strive for perfection when good will do.” As
    a writer, you try to write fresh, but sometimes it’s okay to type ‘he said.’

    About the Book

    a time-out to find their happily ever after. And life coach to Hollywood’s rich
