    You Always Have Me by Sherell Cummings @arabellaj19 #RLFblog #NewAdult #RomanceSherell Cummings, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about writing new adult romance, and about your new book.

    The Appeal of Writing New Adult Romance

    I read. A lot. Especially romance. And I found this pattern. I didn’t know there was a formula to it, but as I read book after book I realized that everything I read followed this same pattern. In the romance genre if you didn’t follow this pattern – love interests meet, they fall in love, something breaks them apart, they get back together and live happily ever after – your book would never be noticed. When I started my writing adventure I thought about going in that direction because I wanted my book published, but after a while, the appeal to write got lost in trying to fit into the prescribed pattern.
    So, I went in my own direction.
    I write New Adult romance to get lost in the minds and emotions of the main characters I create, each seeking something they didn’t know was lost until they found it in each other. I see what they see, feel what they feel and take them through the roller coaster of highs and lows that is their journey to love. I want to pull the emotion out of the reader, make them believe that although this is fiction, it can be real. It’s about being creative in my own way, and no longer following the pattern of your typical romance novel, but sending the reader on an adventure of the heart through my eyes.
    My hope is that I’ve succeeded in making everyone feel what I did while writing the story.

    Two writers in one. Daryl Devoré writes hot romances with sexy heroes and strong heroines. Victoria Adams is Daryl Devoré’s alter ego when she’s inspired to write sweet romances with little to no heat.
    Daryl lives in an old farmhouse in Ontario, Canada, with her husband, a black cat named Licorice and some house ghosts. Her daughter is grown and has flown the nest. Daryl loves to take long walks on her quiet country road or snowshoe across the back acres, and in the summer, kayak along the St. Lawrence River. She has touched a moon rock, a mammoth, and a meteorite. She’s been deep in the ocean in a submarine, flown high over Niagara Falls in a helicopter, and used the ladies room in a royal palace. Life’s an adventure and Daryl’s having fun living it.

    Daron’s Guitar Chronicles by Cecilia Tan

    Sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Coming out and coming of age in the days of AIDS, MTV, Reaganomics, and Just Say No.
    Daron Marks is a young guitar player with a dream, make it big like the guys he grew up idolizing in New Jersey–or at least escape his dysfunctional family. He makes it as far as music school in Rhode Island, and the rock clubs of Boston beckon him. But it’s hard to succeed from the closet.
    Ziggy Ferias is an art school dropout who dreams of fame. One day he sees a guitarist busking in the park, and his entire vision of his future changes.
    A story of how finding one’s self is key to finding love, and loving one’s self is key to loving another.
    Winner of the Rose and Bay Award for Crowdfunded Fiction!
    “For me, Daron is one of those rare fictional characters that I have a hard time believing does not actually exist on the physical plane. He is just too real. Part of it is that Daron is only a couple of years older than me and the way the 80s are brought to life here reminds me very much of my own coming of age: the musical references, the language, the AIDS scare, the technology, the hair… Most of all, though, it is the fact that Daron is an extremely well written character. He grows and changes and engages.” (Gay Book Reviews)

    Eighteen-year-old Brinn Hathaway has survived alone in an abandoned cabin in the High Country of North Georgia since she was a child. If her life is lonely and less than complete, at least she is safe from the man who kidnapped her, held her captive, and left her for dead in a shallow grave in the mountains. She believes that her parents are dead, the police are her enemy, and that if she returns to the world, her tormentor will find her. With the help of some unlikely friends, she has what she needs to survive, but is surviving enough?
    Life takes a turn when a young nature photographer, Justin Spencer—in pursuit of the fabled Wild Child—captures her on film. While chasing the story of a lifetime, Justin is injured and Brinn comes to his rescue. The two build a tentative friendship, but with his own violent past, he must decide if proving himself is worth betraying the trust of the girl he has vowed to help.
    Trust is a commodity Brinn has been unable to afford. Can the kindness and gentle touch of a stranger break through the wall she has built around her heart? After half a lifetime of living in isolation and fear, Brinn must decide if leaving the safety of her remote cabin is worth the hope—and danger—that may await her.

    Hi all, I’m Jessi Mcpherson. I live in a small town in Iowa right on the banks of The Mighty Mississippi. I started writing when I was about 10 years old. Almost every girl has a journal but I not only had fun stories of the day but poems and short stories that popped in my head. I love fantasy and romance novels and read almost daily. I like to find my inspiration in everyday life. That’s one of my goals is to find one thing every day that inspires me. I grew up an army brats so I have traveled to a few places over the years. I have two amazing children and a very amazing husband. They thankfully put up with crazy work schedules because being a mom and a writer isn’t enough but I am also the general manager of Sidelines Sports bar in my home town. No matter how busy I find time for it all. I do hope you enjoy my books and I look forward to writing more.
