Why did you write
this book?Dark Stranger is part three in the Chateau Seductions
trilogy. The manager of the art colony is a loyal companion to the owner of the
chateau, Antoine. Since Cameron was first introduced in book 1, Dark Velvet, I
knew he deserved his own story. How did he end up working for a supernatural
being on a remote island when he is human? How does he feel about the
isolation?With the wolf shifters coming to the island and his wariness
of shifters from an earlier altercation, I wanted to see what would happen with
him paired up with one of them. And oh my, the forbidden attraction is hot!
Especially when Nadya resists the idea of her mate being human.What is your favorite
genre to read?Paranormal romance, especially shifter romance at the
moment.Who is your favorite
character from fiction (not including your own)?I’m a sucker for dark, brooding characters. My favorites are
Dracula and Heathcliff, and if we’re including movies, Darth Vader. I’ve always
had a bit of an obsession with him.What are you working
on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?I’m finishing up a short story with one of the characters
from the Chateau Seductions series. Also, I’ve started book two in the Highland
Gargoyles series, the follow up to Knights of Stone.Please tell us about
your latest book.Dark Stranger is part 3 of the Chateau Seductions trilogyWolf shifters come to Chateau
seeking a missing pack member. During an altercation, Cameron Stevens, the
manager of the art colony, is separated from the others. He ends up alone with
Nadya, one of the female shifters.Together, in the forests of DeRoche
Island, they struggle against conflicting feelings. In addition to battling
each other as well as their mistrust, they fight a powerful, inexplicable
attraction to one another—one that leaves them irrevocably entwined.They’re mates? Cameron can’t
comprehend or accept such a thing is possible. They’re two different species
and their worlds don’t mesh. He can’t fight the heated desire burning between
them and her touch is impossible to resist. His heart and mind aren’t on the
same page where she’s concerned. One thing is certain—Nadya is stamped on both.Paranormal, Erotic RomanceShifters, vampires, gargoylesAbout the Book

Lauren Linwood’s Ballad Beauty @LaurenLinwood #cowboys #RLFblog
Ballad Beauty Romance Lives Forever welcomes Lauren Linwood, historical
western romance author.About the Author
Lauren Linwood became a teacher who wrote on the side to maintain
her sanity in a sea of teenage hormones. Her historical romances use history as
a backdrop to place her characters in extraordinary circumstances, where their intense
desire for one another grows into the treasured gift of love. Her romantic suspense
novels feature strong heroes and heroines who unite to defeat a clever antagonist
and discover a deep, abiding love during their journey.A native Texan, Lauren lives in a Dallas suburb with her family.
An avid reader, moviegoer, and sports fan, she manages stress by alternating yoga
with long walks. She plans to start a support group for House Hunters addicts—as
soon as she finishes her next piece of dark chocolate.Interview with Lauren Linwood
Why did you write this
book?I’d written five previous historical romances, but I’d never
mined the gold in my native state of Texas! I decided it was time to feature a hero
who lived here, and the first thing that came to mind was a Texas Ranger. They helped
tamed Texas from the wild land that it was. My twist? My hero is the son of an infamous
outlaw and chose to become a lawman because of what he’d seen in his childhood.
He knows exactly what his daddy is, but the heroine he falls for has no idea that
her father is also an outlaw—and partner-in-crime to the hero’s daddy!What is your favorite
genre to read?Since I was a history teacher for many years, I enjoy authors
who combine pieces of history within thrillers. Steve Berry, David Baldacci, and
Brad Meltzer are some of the best at this.Who is your favorite character
from fiction (not including your own)?Hands down, it’s Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird. He’s
a hero in every sense of the word, and I admire his moral core and what a great
father he is to his two children.What are you working on
at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?I’m pleased to announce that I’ve dipped my toe into the romantic
suspense pond after releasing six historicals. Leave Yesterday Behind will be released
in June. I have another medieval historical, A Knight for Kallen, coming out in
the fall, and early in 2016 my second romantic suspense, Illusions of Death, will
appear. I’ve just finished another western which I’m letting ferment a bit before
I send it off to my editor, and I’m 25 chapters into another romantic suspense that’s
set in Dallas.Please tell us about your
latest book.After ten years apart, Boston schoolmarm Jenny McShanahan receives
a letter from her beloved father that instructs her to join him in Texas. She has
no idea that he’s become Famous Sam McShan, the Robin Hood of the West. She arrives
to find Sam already gone, but he left instructions for Jenny to hire a guide and
rendezvous with him in Nevada.Texas Ranger Noah Daniel Webster knows Sam personally because
his father, Pistol Pete Webber, was Sam’s longtime partner in crime. When Pete is
killed during their last big score, Noah requests the assignment to bring Sam to
justice. Going undercover, he volunteers to act as Jenny’s escort across the dangerous
prairie, using her to track her outlaw father’s location.As they journey through rough country, love blossoms—but Noah
knows the second he arrests Sam, his betrayal will kill Jenny’s love for him. Should
the lawman do his duty as a Ranger, or should he let love rule? The choice Noah
makes will change their lives forever.About the Book

Merry Chris Mas a Love Play Matchmaking Clare Dargin @clare_dargin #RLFblog
Merry Chris Mas This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces
the story.About the
AuthorI am a fan
girl and scifi geek who loves romance novels. Not a contradiction by any standards
if you consider the love story between Han Solo and Princess Leia in the original
Star Wars trilogy (and we won’t even talk about that taboo thing with Luke and Leia–
hello! I don’t write that kind of stuff nor go for it. Anyways, moving on…)I’ve been
writing stories since I was a child and bored everyone I knew with my little made
up tales of I can’t remember but all I do know is that they were precious gems that
developed into gold mines. Okay maybe I’m exaggerating but my parents did encourage
to continue writing stories.My first novel,
Cold Warriors, a scifi romance was published in 2007 and that just fed my insatiable
need to keep entertaining people with stories of love conquering all. I live in
the midwest and am still writing hoping one day to convert the entire world to my
way of telling stories.Interview with Clare Dargin
Why did you write this book?I had to when
the inspiration struck. I’ve always wanted to write a menage romance and this story
was the perfect fit for that type of romance.What is your favorite genre to read?It depends
on the mood I’m in… it can be contemporary, scifi, paranormal, erotic, menage,
mainstream… It just depends on what catches my eye or strikes my fancy.Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your
own)?It’s weird
but I have favorite characters who live in tv and movies but love certain books
or series. It’s just the way my brain works when I see things. I’m a visual type
of person though I work with words primarilly– yes it’s strange but that’s who
I am.What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you
in coming months?Presently,
I am working on two paranormal books that will be the first of two different series
whilest playing around with a couple of ideas for the sequel to The Love Play Matchmaking
Service. In the coming months you will see the paranormal books published first
followed by hopefully two in the Love Play series.Please tell us about your latest book.Jilly Reimers
wants love but can’t find it. Chris Spinell is a veteran of the war in Afghanistan
who suffers from PTSD and a haunting feeling that something is missing in his life.
Chris Poole is also an Afghanistan war veteran is ready to break out of his shell
but is unsure how.With Christmas
just around the corner, they decide not to spend it alone. Believing The Love Play
Matchmaking Service to be just what they need for a night of fun and passion, they
sign up. But when the guys show up and see that they’ve been set up on a menage,
the only one happy about it is Jilly.Their consultant, called an Eros, assures Jilly that the service

money back. Will they have a very merry Christmas? Or will the three spend yet another

Marilyn Baron Author of The Widows’ Gallery @MarilynBaron #RLFblog #mystery
The Widows’ Gallery Today’s authbor interview is with Marilyn Baron.Why did you write this
book?I love using art and art theft as themes in my books. I studied
art history in Florence, Italy, in college where I fell in love with my favorite
painting—The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli—which hangs in the Uffizi Gallery.
So I decided to make that painting the centerpiece of my story. The cover art is
also reminiscent of that painting. Last year, my husband and I took an anniversary
cruise to the Mediterranean. All these things gelled and I decided to set part of
my book in Florence, Italy, and on a cruise ship, before the main characters arrived
in Lobster Cove, Maine, where the Lobster Cove series for The Wild Rose Press is
set.What are your favorite
genres to read?Literary fiction, women’s fiction and thrillersWho is your favorite character
from fiction (not including your own)?Jamie Fraser in the Outlander series.What are you working on
at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?On March 20, Killer Cruise, the third book in my Psychic Crystal
Mystery Series, will be released from The Wild Rose Press. It also takes place on
a cruise ship and one of the themes is art theft. It’s murder, mystery, and mayhem
combined with high jinks on the high seas. The novel even features a vampire.TWB Press just released my fifth dark and humorous supernatural
short story, The Files Death Forgot http://www.twbpress.com/thefilesdeathforgot.html
The Grim Reaper with a failing memory, a craving for chocolate chip cookies and
a penchant for old movies: Could this agent of death inadvertently save the world
from mass annihilation??MMy current work in progress is called Landlocked, where an inexperienced
South Florida realtor with weather issues, tries to sell her widowed grandmother’s
rural property on an isolated Western North Carolina mountaintop only to discover
the tract is landlocked, and therefore, unsalable. The book features a missing artist,
two romances and a serial killer.About the Book

5 Easy Questions: Anne Kane author Love and Wishes @annekane #RLFblog #fantasy
Love and Wishes
by Anne KaneAnne Kane author of Love and Wishes answers five easy questions
to help readers get to know her better.Author Bio
Anne Kane lives in the beautiful Okanagan Valley with a bouncy
Jack Russell terrier, a cantankerous Himalayan cat, a bossy little calico and too
many fish to count. She spent many years trying to fit in and act normal, but finally
gave up the effort. She started writing romance, and her fate was sealed when she
won a publishing contract with Red Sage Publishing and just a month later Changeling
Press accepted her first submission. Since then she had published more than thirty
stories in a variety of sub-genres, all with a happily ever after.Her hobbies, when she’s not playing with the characters in her
head, include kayaking, hiking, motorcycles, swimming, skating, karate, playing
guitar, singing and of course, reading.What’s your favorite down-home
family style meal?You know I live on the west coast of Canada, and up here wild
Salmon is fairly common. You can catch a nice one by standing on the bridge in the
middle of town and dropping your line into the river. These aren’t little fish!
A side of one can feed at least six people. My favorite way to cook them is to slather
maple syrup on a side of salmon and barbeque wrapped up in tinfoil with some lemon
slices. A nice fresh garden salad, picked that day supplies the veggie component
and some baked potatoes with sour cream, bacon bits and green onions finish the
meal off. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!Describe the perfect vacation.The perfect vacation is a jaunt somewhere exotic with my sister.
We live far apart and rarely get to see each other so one year we decided that each
spring we would meet somewhere in the world and have a vacation together. We’ve
been doing this for the past five years, and absolutely love it! It’s wonderful
to have a travel companion that you get along with, and we’ve been to lots on amazing
places. Come to think of it, it’s time to start planning our trip for this year.What are your hobbies?I have way too many hobbies. I sing in two choirs, play guitar
and piano, hike the mountain trails with my dog, kayak in the river (yup, same one
the salmon came out of) putter in the garden, and read lots and lots of books. I
also swim, skate and practice karate.When you read for pleasure,
what kind of books do you choose?I think I’ve read darn near anything at one point or another!
Romance, murder mysteries,.fantasy, science fiction, contemporary, and autobiographies
of famous people. It depends on what mood I’m in, or what caught my attention when
I was in the book store or browsing in the online bookstores.If the hero of your latest
book called you on the phone, what would be a perfect ringtone for him?Definitely the James Bond Theme song!About the Book
