    Fiction Furbaby: Meet the afanc from Mermaids Marry in Green by Alice Renaud @alicerauthor @RobsRescues #RLFblog #Pets

    In Mermaids Marry in Green, a fantasy romance by Alice Renaud, a feisty shape shifting mermaid teams up with a warlock to capture a water monster, the afanc, who is threatening to flood London. But powerful warlocks are also after the creature…

    Alice, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We support all furbabies, real life or fictional. We want to know all about your Fiction Furbaby, but first, please tell us about Mermaids Marry in Green.

    Mermaids Marry in Green by Alice Renaud

    Genre Fantasy Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Caltha Dooran is the toughest, fiercest shape-shifting mermaid in the western seas. She has three Clans to rule, and no time for romance. But when a warlock, Jonty, turns up and asks her to come with him to London to capture a water monster, she can’t say no. In London, away from her duties, her attraction for Jonty grows… and they soon fall under each other’s spell. But will his past and her responsibilities pull them apart, or can they find the only true magic, the one that binds two souls together?

    Meet the afanc from Mermaids Marry in Green

    Full name: the afanc

    Nickname: none

    Gender: male

    Species: mythical Welsh water monster

    Physical description: the afanc has the head of a crocodile, and the body and paws of a beaver.

    Relationship to main character: the afanc is rescued by the heroine, Caltha, and becomes her devoted companion.

    Relationship to the villain/antagonist: Powerful warlocks are hunting the afanc because he has the power to make waters rise. Through him they hope to kill the current leader of the warlocks and take over London.

    Where this furbaby came from: the afanc has lived in the rivers of London for millennia. He fell asleep centuries ago, but was woken up by magic. Now he is lost in a modern city he no longer recognizes.

    What inspired you to create this character?

    I love Welsh legends, particularly the creatures. The afanc, with its odd appearance, is one of my favorite monsters.

    What does the main character think about this furbaby?

    Caltha, the mermaid heroine, expects to find a scary monster. Instead, she discovers a vulnerable animal who asks her for her help. She is determined to rescue him and take him to a safe place, away from the warlocks who would use and enslave him.

    What does the villain/antagonist think about this furbaby?

    The warlocks who are after the afanc only want him for his power to control water. Through him they hope to take over London. Some warlocks, “the good ones,” would not use the afanc in this way, but they would treat him like a laboratory exhibit and study him.

    What does this furbaby eat?

    Mainly fish and crustaceans.

    What is this furbaby’s natural habitat?

    The afanc lives in lakes and rivers. He wakes up after a century-long sleep to find out that his river is now underground in London, and encircled by sewers. He is lost and miserable until Caltha finds him.

    What does this furbaby add to the story?

    The afanc is the reason why the heroine Caltha comes to London and teams up with the hero, Jonty the warlock. The afanc brings the two main characters together, and pits them against the villains who are seeking to capture the animal for their own ends.

    What about this furbaby will readers like, and why?

    I hope readers will find him sweet and unusual. He is intelligent, can talk and is devoted to the heroine.

    Know the Heroine from The Holiday Mermaid in the Desire Me Again BVS anthology by Alice Renaud @alicerauthor #RLFblog #paranormalromanceWhen Rowena left Adam without a word, she broke his heart. Now it’s almost Christmas, and she’s back… but she has webbed hands and feet, and a tail! Can Adam and Rowena put their past behind them and build a future together?

    Alice Renaud, 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 Holiday Mermaid, a short story in the Desire Me Again anthology by BVS.

    The Holiday Mermaid in the Desire Me Again anthology by Alice Renaud

    Genre Paranormal Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Blurb for The Holiday Mermaid

    Adam fell for surfer girl Rowena the second he saw her. But just as their summer fling was becoming serious, she left him without any explanation. Now, with Christmas just a few days away, she’s back… and Adam discovers that she’s a shape-shifting mermaid, from a Clan that hates humans. Can he love her as she is? Can she brave her family to be with Adam for good, not just for Christmas?

    Blurb for the BVS anthology Desire Me Again

    The hopeless romantic believes that a soulmate exists for each of us. That there is one person who makes us feel how good it is to love them. For some couples, things trigger them to push that love away. They find out too late they’ve lost true-love. Sometimes genuine love deserves a second-chance at the happy ending that eluded them the first time.

    Desire Me Again is an eclectic assortment of short stories exploring a second-chance at love. The collection is as diverse as the authors who wrote them. Here’s a chance to read the work of talented writers you may not have read before. Within these pages, there are blends of tender, often moving and thought-provoking stories.

    Know the Heroine from The Holiday Mermaid

    Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.

    It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?

    She goes for a swim. There’s always some fish to chase or a dolphin to chat to.

    What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?

    Fresh seafood. Oysters, shrimp, mussels… raw or cooked she loves them all.

    Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.

    As little as possible. Clothes are a hindrance when you’re a shape shifting mermaid, they make shifting more difficult.

    Does she know how to fix things?

    As long as it’s something related to a boat or the sea. She can repair a fishing net in minutes, but don’t ask her to change a plug or fix a car engine. She’s never driven in her life, and she spent most of her life underwater until she met Adam.

    She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.

    She was always attracted by the human world. So one summer, she took advantage of the fact that her uncle and cousins were away to visit a human village on the coast. She met a young local man, Adam, and was immediately attracted to him. She thought she could have a summer fling, and then go back to her life as a dutiful mermaid of the Regor Clan. But she fell in love. She left Adam without a word or a note, because she couldn’t tell him the truth… but couldn’t bear to lie to him.

    How does she act around children she doesn’t know?

    She loves children. She is warm and playful with them. She finds it easier to relate to human children than to adults.

    What is she like first thing in the morning?

    Bright and sparky and ready to go, to catch the morning tide!

    How does she act around people who don’t know what she is?

    She is always on her guard, for fear of betraying her secret. Shape-shifting mermaids and mermen are supposed to keep their true nature hidden from humans.

    Will she let a worker handle things or do it herself?

    She’d have to let a worker handle things if it was something she didn’t have a clue about – like human inventions such as cars or electricity. But she prefers to do things herself when she can. She was brought up to work hard and be self-sufficient, as her parents died young and she was brought up mostly by her stern and traditional uncle, Rhys, leader of the Regor Clan.

    Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?

    Mermaids in the Regor Clan don’t wear jewelry or tattoos until they get married.

    Personal vehicle or public transport?

    Public transport. But she likes her surfboard best of all.

    Recycle or toss?

    Recycle. Mermen and mermaids love the sea and the coast and do everything in their power to keep them clean.

    Thanks for helping us get to know your heroine!

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.

    Music for a Merman by Alice Renaud

    Genre Fantasy Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Rob Regor knew that humans were trouble. All the shape shifting mermen of the Morvann Islands knew it. And human women were double trouble… especially when they were lying on the road in front of a digger.

    Rob has a mission. Go to the mainland. Work as a policeman. Spy on humans. Report back to his father, the head of the Regor Merman Clan. It should be easy. Until he has to arrest Charlie. Rob can’t fight his attraction to the sexy eco-warrior, and it puts him on one hell of a collision course with his family and his Clan. Will he break the rules – or break her heart, and his?

    Love ’em and leave ’em, that was Charlie’s motto. It had served her well until now. But Rob is different… Can she open up her heart to Rob – when a secret buried in her past surfaces and changes her completely?

    Know the Heroine from Music for a Merman

    Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.

    It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?

    Charlie goes out to a late night bar or nightclub, to find some people still awake and up for some fun.

    What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?

    Chips. She can’t resist chips.

    Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.

    Her favorite outfit is a swimsuit. She’s never happier than when she’s near the sea, or better still, in it. She prefers casual clothes – jeans, shorts, T-shirts.

    Does she know how to fix things?

    Yes. Since she’s left home, she’s lived on her own, and often in places with dodgy electrics or faulty plumbing. She’s learnt to be self-sufficient and fix what doesn’t work.

    She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.

    Charlie is an eco-warrior. She was protesting against a development in the village of St-Sulien, on the Welsh coast. But the site manager called the police and she got arrested… by the hero of the story, Rob. Rob is a cop who is also… a shape shifting merman. She fell in love with him, which really wasn’t part of the plan!

    How does she act around children she doesn’t know?

    Charlie likes children and is at ease with them. She will chat to them as equals, ask them questions, and play with them.

    What is she like first thing in the morning?

    She’s a night owl rather than a lark… she’s a bit grumpy until she’s had her first cup of coffee. She hates being woken up suddenly.

    How does she act around people who don’t know what she is?

    Natural. She is very good at putting on an act. Though the mask slips sometimes.

    Will she let a worker handle things or do it herself?

    She will try to do it herself. She doesn’t like relying on other people.

    Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?

    No earrings or piercings – she doesn’t tend to wear jewelry as it’s not practical when swimming. No tattoos – her stern family would not have approved when she was young, and she didn’t bother once she was an adult.

    Personal vehicle or public transport?

    Public transport. She’s an environmental activist, and she walks the walk.

    Recycle or toss?

    Recycle. She hates polluters.

    Thanks for helping us get to know your heroine!

    Meet Rob Regor from Music for a Merman by Alice Renaud @alicerauthor #RLFblog #paranormalromance #PNR

    Meet Rob Regor from Music for a Merman by Alice Renaud @alicerauthor #RLFblog #paranormalromance #PNRWelcome Rob Regor from Music for a Merman, a new paranormal romance by Alice Renaud.

    Rob Regor

    Age: 22

    Gender: Male

    Birthplace: Regor Island, in the Morvann archipelago, off the coast of west Wales, UK

    Profession: policeman

    Ethnicity: In human shape, white Caucasian.

    Species (for scifi/fantasy characters): Shape-shifting merman.

    Please provide a physical description of your character.

    In his merman, or aquatic, shape, Rob looks a bit like a dolphin. He has black skin and webbed hands and feet. He also has a foot-long, flexible tail. But not a fish tail! Mermen are one hundred per cent hot-blooded mammals. In human shape he is tall and muscular, with black hair, tanned skin, and eyes that look black from a distance but are actually midnight blue.

    Please tell us a little about your character.

    Rob is tender and sensual, brave and caring. He is a bit of a rebel, he wants to be loyal to his father and Clan, but can’t help feeling attracted to the human world. He is a talented singer, and composes beautiful mermen songs. Once he falls in love with Charlie, the heroine, that’s it – she’s the one, there’s no doubt about it, and he will risk anything to protect her.

    Who is the significant other in your character’s life?

    He meets Charlie, a beautiful, sexy, spunky environmental activist, when he has to arrest her. He can’t stop himself from falling for her, even though she’s on the other side of the law, and she’s human – mermen of his Clan are completely forbidden from having relationships with human women.

    How does Rob dress?

    Rob is a policeman, so he wears his uniform when on duty. Off duty, he likes casual clothes, jeans and T-shirt. Regor mermen spend most of their time in their aquatic shape, so he’s not used to wearing human clothes. He finds them restrictive, especially his uniform.

    What special skills does Rob rely on?

    Rob is a shape shifting merman, he can move between the human world and the sea world. In aquatic shape, he can talk to sea mammals, swim as well as any dolphin, and stay underwater for as long as whale. Like them he uses echolocation to orientate himself, and communicate at a distance with other mermen. Rob is a talented musician and singer, he composes beautiful songs in the mermen language of musical clicks and whistles. In human shape, he’s a fantastic swimmer.

    What is Rob’s family like?

    Rob’s mother died when he was very young, he doesn’t really remember her. He has a good relationship with his two elder brothers, Rhodri and Rhun, but he is afraid of his father, Rhys, head of the Regor Clan. Rhys hates humans, and has a fearsome temper.

    Does Rob see morality as black-and-white, or with shades of gray?

    Rob was brought up to see things in black and white. Good or bad, human or merman. And human = bad, merman = good. But now that Rob is living among humans, he is discovering that things are not so simple.

    What inner doubt causes Rob the most difficulty?

    Rob’s father sent him to the mainland to spy on humans. Becoming a cop was the perfect cover, or so Rob thought. But the more time he spends with humans, the more he likes them. He is increasingly torn between his loyalty to his Clan, and his attraction to the human world.

    What past event causes Rob the most fear?

    When Rob broke the Clan’s laws by going to a human music and poetry festival, his father punished him by imprisoning him in an undersea dungeon for 3 days. Rob was only 15 years old at the time. Rob has very bad memories of his time in prison, and he is afraid of what his father might do to him if he disobeys him. Most of all, he fears what his father might do to Charlie, if he learns that Rob is in a relationship with her.

    About Your Writer: Questions for your character to answer about you.

    To honor the person who chose to share your story, please answer at least four of these questions. Questions with more than one point should be considered one question. You may answer as many more as you like.

    Was there anything your writer discovered about you that was a surprise to one or both of you?

    My writer was surprised to discover how much I love music and poetry, both the human and the merman kinds. She hadn’t planned for me to be an artist!

    Why do you think your writer loves to write?

    It’s more fun than preparing presentations and telling people about company policies. Although rather less well paid.

    What other character from your book do you think your writer should write a book about? Care to tell us why?

    I think my writer should write about Caltha Dooran. She is the leader of all the Clans, and the feistiest mermaid on the Morvanns. She’s a great character, properly kick-ass. I wonder what kind of man could tame her!

    Is there anything you’d like to say to your writer?

    Don’t give up on your dream.

    Alice Renaud was born and brought up in Brittany, Western France, her father was French and her mother British (from Wales). She moved to London, UK, in 1997, where she now lives with her husband and son. She works full time as a compliance specialist in a pharmaceutical company. She has been writing in her free time since she was 14. She got quite a few short stories published in UK magazines, before moving to longer fiction. She wrote three contemporary romance books, but didn’t find a publisher for them. She then realized that mermen, sea witches, and time travelling warlocks were a lot more fun than sheikhs and billionaires! Her first two paranormal romances did not find a publisher either, then she wrote A Merman’s Choice, which was published in January this year by Black Velvet Seductions. It is the first book in the Sea of Love series, a fantasy romance trilogy inspired by the landscapes and legends of Brittany and Wales. She loves reading and writing stories, and sharing them with anyone who’s interested!
