Anne, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Evil Lives in the Night.

Evil Lives in the Night by Jan Selbourne and Anne Krist

Genre Historical mystery suspense

Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG+

Two great historical novellas that will keep you guessing.

In Jan Selbourne’s The Next Stop is Dead, a woman boards a city train one night and finds herself alone in the car with four strangers, all men. When she discovers one of them is dead, she has to find a way to exit the train and get help. Will she escape, or will the next stop be her final one?

In Anne Krist’s Missing, sisters Audra and Daina communicate using “twin language.” But how much difference will that make when Daina disappears? Can Audra find her sister before her abductor ends Daina’s life? Even with the help of an over-protective detective, saving her missing twin might not happen in time.

Know the Heroine from Evil Lives in the Night

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

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

Audra has such a hectic schedule, she hardly has time to be bored. Plus, she’s almost always with her twin sister, Daina, and she can make anything boring into something fun. She’ll start singing, or grab Audra for a waltz around the room or suggest they race each other if they’re involved in a task that requires no thinking. Daina is the fun to Audra’s seriousness.

What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?

A Bing bar. They’re made at the Palmer Candy Company right there in Sioux City, Iowa. Dee-licious!

Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.

Audra rarely wears pants or slacks outdoors. If she goes out, it’s in a dress or skirt. She wears low heels or sturdy shoes, and her hair is braided and then set in a twirl on her head, much the way her mother and grandmother wore it in years past. She’s a Lithuanian farmgirl moved to the city, but she likes the ways she was raised. Not so with Daina, but then, Daina might revert back to more of the family’s ways when she’s ready to settle down.

Does she know how to fix things?

Simple things. Her parents were farmers, unused to buying replacements. She was expected to keep things running as well as she could, and that meant repairing until whatever she was using wore out.

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

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

Audra loves children and she does very well with them, whether she is familiar with them or not. She’s quiet and calm, and her bearing helps children be quieter and calmer, too. She’s not averse to sitting on the floor (or the ground) and playing on their level.

What is she like first thing in the morning?

Audra doesn’t jump out of bed, but she does wake up awake. When the alarm goes off, she sits up, stretches and gets up. She says her prayers and prepares for the day. She likes coffee with her breakfast but she isn’t one of those people who “have” to have it before she functions.

How does she handle things when in a “proper” social situation?

She isn’t used to very formal situations. She doesn’t know which piece of silverware to use if they’re more than four pieces at a place setting, or own formal gowns, for instance. But she was raised with good manners and she’s always found a smile takes her far in any situation.

Maid or takes care of herself?

Oh, definitely takes care of herself. If she finds herself in a clothing pickle, Daina helps out.

Proper dress or casual clothes?

A dress—clean, pressed, and to the knees—for church, along with gloves, a hat, and polished shoes. A skirt of casual wear, also to the knees. A pressed blouse. She mostly wears casual for work and school.

Sleeves buttoned or rolled up?

She isn’t above rolling up her sleeves for chores, though normally she will wear blue jeans (or corduroy in winter) and a blouse when she’s cleaning or helping out at home.

Powdered wig or natural hair?

Our stories take place in the mid-1950s, so no powdered wigs. I mentioned above how Audra wears her hair. Her twin, Daina, likes to wear hers down around her shoulders and turned under.

Carriage or horseback?

Neither. They take the bus or they walk. Taxis fares are too expensive. Some—but not many–of their friends have cars but catching a ride somewhere is a treat, not a common occurrence.

Thanks for helping us get to know your heroine!

Anne Krist Social Media

A few years ago, Dee S. Knight began writing, making getting up in the morning fun. During the day, her characters killed people, fell in love, became drunk with power, or sober with responsibility. And they had sex, lots of sex. That’s how Dee spends her days. Her nights? Well, she’s lucky that her dream man, childhood sweetheart, and long-time hubby are all the same guy, and nights are their secret.

After a while, Dee split her personality into thirds. She writes as Anne Krist for sweeter romances, and Jenna Stewart for ménage and shifter stories. All three of her personas are found on the Nomad Authors website. Also, once a month, look for Dee’s Charity Sunday blog posts, where your comment can support a selected charity.
