    Introducing Melissa Crandall from Naval Maneuvers, by Dee S Knight @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #romance

    Let’s meet Melissa Crandall from Naval Maneuvers, an erotic romance, by Dee S Knight. Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about the story your author wrote.

    Naval Maneuvers by Dee S Knight

    Genre Erotic romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Men and women of the armed forces experience desire and love pretty much like everyone else. Except, well, there is that uniform. And the hard-to-resist attraction of “duty, honor, service” as a man might apply them to a woman’s pleasure. All things considered, romance among the military is a pretty sexy, compelling force for which you’d better be armed, whether weighing anchor and moving forward into desire, dropping anchor and staying put for passion, or setting a course for renewed love with anchor home.

    Introducing Melissa Crandall

    Please tell me about yourself.
    Age: 33
    Gender: Female
    Birthplace: Jacksonville, NC
    Profession: Doctor
    Ethnicity: Caucasian
    What do you look like?
    I’m maybe a little more curvy than fashion dictates. I have auburn hair, shoulder-length and deep green eyes, and I’m relatively tall—around five eight or nine.
    Who is the significant other in your life?
    I recently met David Stimson and fell hard and fast, despite my usual deliberative personality.
    How do you dress?
    I like the classic styles—trouser pants with pleats and a belt when going out casually and soft, collared blouses. I have three distinct little black dresses and almost always wear dresses or skirts when going out for an evening. I enjoy heels because they make me feel feminine (and yes, sexy!) but am just as comfortable in flats. Clothing must be comfortable and I tend towards the flowing, draping types of materials of very good quality.
    Please tell us about your education.
    I attended undergraduate school at Georgetown but went to University of Virginia for medical school. I also practice here in Charlottesville.
    Do you get by, live comfortably, live extravagantly?
    I live comfortably but I am not extravagant. I enjoy good clothes and I like attending lectures and seminars on topics like archaeology and history (a must if you live in Virginia!). I own my house, but it’s modest, and though I have a mid-priced car, I usually bicycle to work.
    On what special skills do you rely?
    My attention to detail, empathy for my patients, and a quick memory. I use these things to give my patients the best care.
    Are any of your skills a source of pride or embarrassment, and if so, which ones and why?
    Definitely pride. I truly like people and see it as my duty to serve them the best I can.
    What is your family like?
    I love my parents very much though I’m closer to my mom then my dad. He was a “lifer” in the Marine Corps, often away while I was growing up. I hated that he loved his job more than Mom or me because it seemed he was always away when we needed him most or wanted him there, like for recitals and plays. I saw my mom as a tower of strength because she held us together when I would have given up. Only recently have I realized how much my dad loved me, too. In fact, since I fell in love with David and then gave him up, I’ve learned a great deal about life, love, and being an adult—and all from my parents.

    Meet High Lord Sarc from Blood of the Ruby Throne by Sultry Summers @SultrySummers1 #RLFblog #scifi #romance

    Meet High Lord Sarc from Blood of the Ruby Throne by Sultry Summers @SultrySummers1 #RLFblog #scifi #romanceWelcome Lord Sarc from Blood of the Ruby Throne, a new Science Fiction Romance by Sultry Summers.

    Introducing Lord Sarc

    Age:26
    Gender: male
    Birthplace: Planet Alphxorn
    Profession: High Lord of Alphxorn and Seti-Cronus
    Ethnicity: Native of Alphxorn – third generation descendant of Seti-Cronus
    Species (for scifi/fantasy characters): humanoid
    Please provide a physical description of yourself.
    I will allow my Lady Zera’s observations to answer this question.
    The High Lord of Alphxorn, taller than her by almost a full head, seemed to tower over her. — Sarc’s dark hair showed a hint of auburn accenting his strong, masculine face. The determined and confident set of his firm jaw and chin further indicated the measure of sound character. She gazed a second longer to glimpse past the stern countenance he portrayed. His demeanor suggested a man of courage and honor. Still, a hint of arrogance slipped through.
    Please tell us a little about your character.
    Lord Sarc was brought up to rule! He swore to his dying father, and again on the assumption of the Throne of Alphxorn, to protect his world. Marauding pirates threatened Seti-Cronus, their civilization’s birth planet and neighbor and Sarc knew his world and rule were next. An honorable lord, he offered marriage to their ruler, Lady Zera. She refused. He had already conquered her world but Sarc allowed her to defend her throne. Defeating her, he offered her a choice of ruling by his side or as his slave. His judge of character, proven right, he and Zera married and she retained her position as High Lady of Seti-Cronus and as a warrior. But Sarc, as a husband, finds her role as a warrior difficult to accept.
    Who is the significant other in your character’s life?
    Lady Zera. Sarc has known no other like her. Convincing her to join the two worlds garnered his respect but acknowledging her as a fighter forces him to face losing her. Zera quickly became part of him and will challenge his rule and his oaths.
    What are the qualities of his voice? (pitch, quality, volume)
    Lord Sarc rarely raises his voice, instead, richness and depth command attention. When addressing his court, he pitches his voice to be heard at the back of his throne room without electronic aid. Taught from childhood how to modulate his voice, he can reveal emotion or withhold it. His frigid toned judgement on an adversary has been known to cause them to tremble. Zera knew panic for the first time in her life, when, after their duel he whispered to her his terms of her defeat.
    Is he close to family?
    Sarc is extremely close to his younger, nineteen-year-old brother. Aware of his brother’s quick mind and knack for military matters, he often seeks his council.
    Does this character see morality as black-and-white, or with shades of gray?
    Sarc realizes the nuances of the everyday life of his subjects of his world. However, in his private life he is less sensitive, and tends to expect the same level of honor he holds sacred.
    What inner doubt causes your character the most difficulty?
    Before meeting Zera, he feared a life without that special person or a soulmate.
    What is your character’s biggest need at the beginning of the story?
    He is secure in his role as a warrior and in his rule. Love was his concern.
    How emotionally expressive is your character to others?
    Sarc’s childhood training allows him to withhold showing his emotions or express them in a manner suiting the situation.
    Who in his life has the power to hurt this character the most? Why?
    Zera. She holds his heart in her palm. In his mind, only dereliction to his duty could hurt him worse than her loss.

    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.
    Why do you think your writer chose to write about you?
    I think Lady Zera had a great deal to do with it. She can be persistent and Zera knows we all have more stories to tell. You might enjoy her interview. I’ve included the link
    https://www.rlfblog.com/sultry-summers-0718/
    What do you wish your writer had not told others about you?
    She could have omitted the scene where I am paraded around the Luithian court almost naked.
    What do you wish your writer would write next?
    Alphxorn and Seti-Cronus are filled with varied and interesting subjects. Seti-Cronus, our people’s birth world, has history that goes back into the mists of time and is more tolerant by nature. However, Alphxorn has yet to be completely explored. One reason our people migrated here was political, but not entirely. There is great mineral wealth here and room for a culture to grow.
    What other character from your book do you think your writer should write a book about? Care to tell us why?
    My younger brother Phorx. He hasn’t had the burden of sovereign rule and he is a fearless fighter. A less weighty childhood allows him to be more personable. His adventures scream to be told.

    It’s been awhile, about four years, since I last published. I hope those who have, in the past, read my works haven’t forgotten me. Since then I’ve moved a couple of times, have had a few adventures and have finally found home. My husband, daughter, two dogs and several cats, have settled into a cute little bump in the road town in Eastern Tennessee. Our valley is so tucked away in between mountain ridges our cell phones don’t receive necessitating a landline and satellite everything else. I know for sure the rock wall in our backyard, that serves as property divider, is Civil War era. It’s a great place for my wayward imagination. Seriously, I think we have fae frequenting the backyard and at night I expect to see a UFO land in the hayfield I can see out the front bay-windows.
    Though I have kept my website up and running, until about a year ago I’ve had a major writer’s block that I managed to move past. I also made the decision to Indie publish. While I do have one book, Tail of the Dragon, which remains with Decadent Publishing, I have withdrawn my other works. Over the next months, I plan to republish them beginning with Blood of the Ruby Throne. The others will follow after I’ve revisited them. With the assistance of a wonderful editor, I have had the pleasure to work with, you will see them re-released. I also have several new works coming, as well as a series I’ve been working on for a long time.
    I’ve missed being an active author and I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

    Know the Heroine from Dropping Anchor in Naval Maneuvers
    Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.
    It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
    Plays MENSA games on her phone. The girl is gorgeous, but she’s no dummy.
    What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
    Carie isn’t much of a junk food girl. She’d pick up an apple and skip the chocolate.
    Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
    A uniform when working—she’s a JAG officer—and loose fitting casual clothes when she’s relaxing. Of course, nothing is best when she’s with her sweetie, Todd Baxter.
    Does she know how to fix things?
    She knows how to fix coffee, and she knows how to make reservations. Anything else, she hopes she marries well.
    She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
    She tried to surprise Todd by dropping in on him without notice. She was the one surprised, and not in a happy way.
    How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
    Carie is not a child person. She keeps her distance when around children she doesn’t know. But since falling in love with Todd, she can finally see children in her future.
    What is she like first thing in the morning?
    So ready for action if Todd wakes her up. Otherwise, she’s one of those people who annoyingly wakes up with a sunny attitude and keeps it all day. That doesn’t mean that she doesn’t turn into a shark when she’s handling a trial. The only thing she likes better than being with Todd is winning her cases.
    Can she use chopsticks?
    She can but wonders why she should. It was fun when she was going out with college pals, but now, what’s the point? Food takes just as good using a fork.
    Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?
    Coffee? You mean life’s blood? Yes!! She drinks it often and she drinks it Navy strong!
    What apps would she have on her phone?
    The aforementioned MENSA games, Kindle, the Weather app, Google and Google maps, and email so she can stay in touch with the office. Carie prefers to interact with people rather than her phone, so she really only uses it when she has to or there is absolutely nothing else to do.
    Android or iPhone?
    iPhone
    Earrings or unpierced ears?
    Earrings, even though while in uniform they have to be posts and demure.
    Tattoos or unadorned skin?
    She has an intriguing tattoo of a dragon on her lower back, the result of a game she played in college. Todd is especially interested in finding out about her dragon.
    Personal vehicle or public transport?
    She doesn’t mind public transportation but usually her job requires her to be flexible in getting around so she drives herself.
    Recycle or toss?
    Definitely recycle. She’s responsible and civic-minded.
    Thanks for helping us get to know your heroine!

    Meet Luther Henderson from Drakon Unchained by NJ Walters @njwaltersauthor #RLFblog #PNRLet’s meet Luther Henderson from Drakon Unchained, a new paranormal romance novel by NJ Walters.

    Victoria Marshall is living a lie. She works for a member of the Knights of the Dragon, a secret society that traps and uses dragons for their own gain. As a child, she made an unlikely friend—a drakon. He went missing, and she’s spent the past twenty years searching for him. The only thing distracting her from her mission is Luther Henderson, her boss’s new head of security.
    Luther is also living a lie. One, if discovered, could lead to a fate worse than death. He’s attracted to Victoria, but can’t fully trust her, doesn’t know if she’s truly innocent or a true member of the Knights. It’s not only his life at stake, but those of the people he loves.

    As they’re thrust deeper into the dangerous dealings of the Knights, they each have to share their secrets in order to survive.

    Introducing Luther Henderson

    Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. I’d like to get to know you better. Please tell me about yourself.
    Age: I’m older than I look
    Gender: male
    Birthplace: Alaska
    Profession: Security Expert
    Ethnicity: Caucasian
    Species (for scifi/fantasy characters): I’m a drakon
    Please provide a physical description of yourself.
    In my human form, I’m 6’6″ with short blond hair and blue eyes. I have a tattoo that covers the entire left side of my body from my neck to my ankles. It’s a birthmark and is a swirling pattern that is silver and outlined in the same blue as my eyes.
    Tell us about yourself, please.
    I’m currently employed as the head of security for a member of the Knights of the Dragon. Their sole purpose is to capture and control dragons (that’s what they call drakons) for the healing power that exists in their blood. My purpose is to infiltrate their organization.
    Who is the significant other in your life?
    *leans forward aggressively* Why do you want to know about my Victoria?
    How do you dress?
    I much prefer jeans and T-shirts, but I’ve worn custom tailored suits for the past few years. Most of the mercenaries who work for my employer wear black combat-style clothing. Over the years, I’ve learned that when I wear a suit, it puts people at ease. They tend to underestimate me, forget I’m dangerous. Which works all the better for me.
    Are you book-smart, self-taught, widely-experienced?
    All the above. I’ve always learned whatever I’ve needed to, plus I’ve had a lot of experience in different situations.
    Do you get by, live comfortably, live extravagantly?
    I’ve worked hard and made my fair share of money. Money gives you power and freedom, things I value. I don’t mind working hard to get what I want. Makes it all the sweeter.
    Can you keep a secret? Why or why not?
    Can I keep a secret? Baby, my entire life is about keeping secrets. The things I know… Well, if I told you, I’d have to kill you.
    What inner doubt causes you the most difficulty?
    I try not to have doubts. I prefer to stay focused on my goals, believing I can achieve them. *shakes head* If I’d allowed doubt to creep in, I’m not sure I would have survived, might have given into despair years ago.
    What is your biggest need?
    To have everyone I love safe. And make no mistake, I’ll do whatever it takes to make that happen. If the world has to burn… *shrugs* Then it burns.

    Where to buy Lights Out

    This story will be released Sept 17, 2018

    He can save mankind. After he does one important thing. Die.
    Join the Ghost Corps, they said. You’ll live forever, they said. You’ll save mankind, they said. They didn’t say that to do it, first he had to die.
    When Tornahdo signs on the dotted line, he puts his life into the steady hands of the mighty Ghost Corps. Three grisly deaths and three agonizing resurrections later, he’s assigned duty on the space station Enderium Six.
    He’s facing his most dangerous mission yet, the very reason the corps exists.
    Do they expect him to win? Fat chance. Tornahdo and his team are already dead and this mission is codenamed “Lights Out.” No, there’s more to this than he can see.
    To discover the truth, he must face an unbeatable, unkillable enemy, and this time–somehow–find a way to keep himself alive…
    Lights Out is in the Science Fiction/Space Opera anthology The Expanding Universe Vol 4, edited by Craig Martelle.
