    Stephen Grafton from Christmas Carols by @DaisyBanks16 #Historical #RLFblog

    Daisy Banks shares details
    about the creation of Stephen Grafton in the book Christmas
    Carols.

    About the Book

    Title Christmas Carols
    Genre Historical Romance
    Author Daisy Banks
    Book heat level G, Sweet
    Stephen Grafton, the blind organist
    at Holy Trinity Church, is gaining a reputation for his fine playing and
    compositions. Alice Broadbrace’s initial venture back into society after years
    in deep mourning brings her to the notice of the talented organist, and he offers
    her the opportunity to sing a solo carol to his accompaniment. His courage
    convinces her to find her own, while her charm entices him into thoughts of
    romance. A difficult walk in a snow storm is only the beginning of Stephen and
    Alice’s journey to happiness. Enjoy this sweet Victorian tale of talent and
    love blossoming.

    Introducing Stephen Grafton

    Name: Stephen Grafton
    Age: 29
    Gender: Male
    Birthplace: Birmingham, England.
    Profession: Musician and composer, organist at Holy Trinity
    Church.
    Ethnicity:  English
    Stephen is approximately 5’10 in height, quite tall for the
    era he lives in. He is lean and slender with fair hair and expressive hands.
    Stephen has been blind since birth and uses a dog to help him, he calls the dog
    Blue.
    Who is the
    significant other in your character’s life?
    Alice Broadbrace.
    How does your hero
    dress?
    Stephen wears the fashions of his era, the early 1860’s. His
    day to day wear is a suit with tail coat, trousers and waistcoat. For recital
    performances he asks his valet to tie an elaborate bow tie for him. His dog,
    Blue, also has a bow on his collar for recital evenings. As the story is set in
    the winter Stephen wears a warm top coat and a hat. He does wear gloves as is
    socially acceptable for the era but he dislikes them as they mean he loses
    depth in his sense of touch.
    If you could only
    hear this character’s voice (but not see him) what characteristic would
    identify him?
    Self certainty and confidence radiate in Stephen’s voice. He
    has passed through many trials to reach the position he is in and this means he
    is definitely willing to voice his opinion with little fear.
    How educated is this
    character?
    Stephen has a doctorate in music from Cambridge. He prefers
    not to use the official title as he finds people make presumptions about him if
    he does. He takes an interest in things cultural and issues of the day in his
    local community. 
    Does he scrape by,
    live comfortably, live extravagantly?
    Stephen has his own home not too far from Holy Trinity
    Church. A legacy from a relative assisted him to attend Cambridge and once he
    qualified to purchase his home. He receives a salary from the church for his
    playing and his recitals. He lives comfortably enough with his dog, has a
    manservant to attend him and assist with the running of his house, and a maid
    of all work who comes in to clean.
    What is your
    character’s viewpoint on wealth?
    Wealth is a useful tool which enables Stephen to travel and
    live his life in the way he wishes. He does not consider himself to be a
    wealthy man in monetary terms he is far more concerned with his music.
    Are any of his skills
    a source of pride or embarrassment, and if so, which ones and why?
    When Stephen was a very small boy a tutor recognized his
    talent in music. He is a gifted musician and with coaching his skills improved
    to the point he could attend university to study further. Stephen is aware of
    his skills and is very demanding of himself in performance and composition. He
    would say he is always learning.
    What kinds of things
    does your character always carry in his pockets?
    Stephen usually carries a white linen handkerchief, keys to
    his home and to his cash box in the house. He also makes sure he has his coin
    holder and some dog biscuits as a treat for Blue.
    Does this character
    see morality as black-and-white, or with shades of gray?
    This question would entertain Stephen as being blind he
    doesn’t see the world through visuals but through touch, sound and smell.
    Stephen has a strong sense of what he considers right and wrong, and finds some
    social customs and expectations foolish especially those Alice believes might
    lead to gossip. He would say, the gossips should go and find more useful
    occupations.
    Does your character
    care about what others assume about him?
    In short, no. Stephen is a self confident person and has a
    vast amount of self belief. He takes care that his appearance and manners should
    be acceptable and has attained a level of independence he enjoys. If people
    assume he is weakened in any way by being blind he will do his best to show
    them that is not so. He does recognize there are situations when he requires
    some assistance and isn’t too proud to ask for it in unfamiliar places.

    About Your Writer

    Why do you think your
    writer chose to write about you?
    Ms. Banks enjoys the unusual and I suspect she found me a
    surprise and therefore wished to work with me. As the story continued I like to
    think Ms. Banks grew rather fond of Alice and I. We are both glad she told the
    story.
    What do you wish your
    writer had not told others about you?
    Nothing. I am aware that there are times in the story when I
    am forthright and frank but those qualities are part of my personality. I am
    sure readers will understand my motives for some comments were genuine concerns.
    I only wanted the best outcome possible.
    What other character
    from your book do you think your writer should write a book about, and why?
    I think Ms. Banks should devote sometime to Elijah Whistler,
    the owner of the Eagle Book Emporium. I would think there might be a natural
    affinity between the two, with his interest in books and her work as an author.
    If Ms. Banks spent some time working with him it might also soothe his
    discomfort at the outcome of my story.
    Why do you think your
    writer loves to write?
    Ms. Banks listens to music frequently but she is not
    musical. I am afraid that is a flaw I am forced to comment on. Ms. Banks
    neither plays nor sings and in my opinion she therefore devotes her energies to
    writing. I do know she is quite driven at times when she writes. Having some
    understanding of the creative process I recognize its grip on an individual.
    However, I still think she would be improved by a more direct association with
    music. When she began the tale I had hopes to influence her to at least take up
    some choral activity but sadly I failed.
    Is there anything
    you’d like to say to your writer?
    Ms. Banks, Alice and I thank you for putting our story into
    words.

    Bucket List: Magnus from To Eternity @DaisyBanks16 #RLFblog #PNR

    To Eternity
    by Daisy Banks 
    Introducing Magnus Johansson from To Eternity. This is his
    bucket list.

    About the Book

    Title To Eternity, wild beneath the moon-Book 2 in the Timeless
    series.
    Genre Paranormal
    Author Daisy Banks
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    For four centuries Magnus has lived
    according to the dictates of the moon, his heart isolated by the domination of his
    wolf nature. Now fate has brought the beautiful, independent Sian to his house at
    Darnwell and their irresistible attraction has exploded into a white-hot passion.
    Yet she is not wolf, and the time has come for her to embrace the change. But once
    she completes the ritual and claims her place next to Magnus, the rivals will appear
    on the horizon…

    The Bucket List of Magnus Johansson

    This interview is designed for your hero to describe his/her bucket list for
    readers. Answer the questions as the character.

    Name: Magnus Johansson
    Age: Approximately four hundred and eighty five.
    Gender: Male
    Birthplace: Darnwell England
    Profession: He is of independent means and therefore has no professional
    title.
    Welcome to Romance Lives
    Forever. Your author introduced you. Now we’d like to get to know you better. Please
    tell us about yourself.
    Thank you for inviting me to take part in this interview. Man
    or myth, or something in between, that is how I have described myself in the past.
    My existence, I can’t call it life, was grim. Until I met Sian I had been solitary
    for many years. I preferred to be alone rather than risk forming relationships with
    others. I had some bitter experiences in my youth and the pain from them was compounded
    by living through the losses of the war years. I thought being alone was my only
    honorable option.
    I am sure you are aware I am afflicted with the werewolf curse.
    Please, don’t worry. I am quite safe at present. The full moon is past for this
    month. Even during the full moon I try to limit the number of times I hunt and am
    very selective of my hunting grounds. When I am not under the control of the moon
    I spend much time in organizing restoration work on my home. The orangery and the
    walled garden are current projects. Since I met Sian she has helped me with these
    tasks and so many other things. Sian has turned my world around, I wouldn’t be here
    speaking with you today if not for her influence. Sian shares my interest in antiques
    and architecture. She has an eye for beauty in its many forms.
    I do apologize, this is supposed to be about me, but I can’t
    help talking about Sian. Shall we continue with the interview?
    When someone dies, we say they “kicked the bucket.”
    Therefore, a list of things that a person wants to accomplish, places to go, situations
    to experience, and so on have become known as a “Bucket List.” We’d like
    to know yours, please. If you haven’t made one before, perhaps now would be a good
    time. Who knows? It might inspire another book. While you’re at it, how about telling
    us about some of your other favorite things? Here are the questions.
    What are two places you
    would like to visit before you die, and why?
    This is very interesting. As a werewolf, my death, barring unfortunate
    circumstances, is very unlikely, but I would like to answer the questions all the
    same. I would enjoy the chance to visit Egypt with Sian. She quite rightly pointed
    out that if I journey there I could relish the sense of a time well beyond my own
    existence. That would be a very enlightening experience.
    There is also a beach I once visited in the Caribbean and I would
    like to return there. The memory of the place features often in the dreams I share
    with Sian. I would like to take her there and show her the reality. Hopefully, in
    the intervening years since I first visited, the beach hasn’t changed too much.
    I once found peace there and in my younger days that was a very rare occurrence.
    Where is a place you would
    never like to return, and why?
    The place is London, but not as it is now. Sian has taken me
    to visit London several times and I have enjoyed each journey we have made. I would
    prefer not to return as I was in the eighteenth century. I behaved rather badly
    then and have no pride in my activities in that era of my life. Grief can have a
    very damaging effect in many different ways. I’m afraid it made a self-centered
    creature of me. I hunted with impunity and relished the chase in a way I am rather
    ashamed of now.
    Who is someone you would
    like to meet, and why?
    I would like to meet the founder of my family line and discover
    how the werewolf curse first took hold. I would ask them if they ever found a way
    to conquer the wretched affliction.
    Who is someone you would
    like to avoid, and why?
    At present the person I would wish to have no contact with is
    Mr. Franklyn Gorsewell. He is a despicable creature who has threatened and even
    physically harmed the woman I love. A reckoning between he and I must eventually
    come, and I believe it will be savage. Please don’t think I fear that, I don’t,
    but Sian will be distressed by such an event, after all he was once her employer
    and so called mentor. He abused that position of trust. He is utterly without merit.
    If you could time travel
    to any date, what would it be, and what would you do there?
    I have a rather strange and sometimes strained relationship with
    time. If I were able to travel in time I would wish to return to the day I met Sian.
    I would do things differently you see. I’m afraid to say I wasn’t very grateful
    at first that she made me live. I’d been alone for so long, I might as well have
    been dead. I fought against being dragged back to life in the fear of its hurts.
    I shouldn’t have done. I ought to have been gentler with her, accepted the wonderful
    love she offered me and thanked her for it. Yes, if I could travel in time I would
    return to experience those first days with her again. She is the most courageous
    woman I have ever met and I’d like to honor that rather than being as difficult
    as I was. Of course, Sian has forgiven me my foibles, but I would like to make her
    memories of our meeting sweeter.
    What is your birth order?
    I am an only child.
    Tell us about your favorite
    toy as a child.
    My childhood was rather isolated, understandable given my heritage.
    I had few toys but I did have several dogs as companions. It was then I discovered
    my body is not that of an ordinary person. The dogs aged and died, but I hardly
    changed. My parents always provided new ones, but I had to accept the loss of creatures
    I loved. Each lost hound proved bitter lesson for me. I also had several favorite
    ponies and horses as I matured. Their loss though painful didn’t sting quite so
    much as those of my dogs. They did not sleep on my bed, nor beg from my plate or
    offer such devoted companionship.
    I was very fond of a hunting hawk. I’d named her Starlight, for
    her gleaming under wing feathers, when she died I gave up hawking. Later, once I
    reached adolescence and I’d undergone the first year or two of moon induced transformations,
    my parents departed and I became master of my home. I amused myself as any young
    man of wealth might in the era.
    Describe your favorite
    food and how it’s prepared.
    The wolf inheritance influences many aspects of my life and as
    a man I eat a great deal of steak. My cook knows to serve it rare.
    Tell us about your best
    friend.
    Other than my few servants, my contact with people over the recent
    past has been very limited. In the war years when I was quite active there were
    young men who I called friends, however, they never truly knew me as I am. Sian
    is the one person who knows and accepts me. She offers me the gift of her love.
    She is everything.
    I must leave now as Sian is waiting. Thank you for your questions.
    I hope we meet again sometime in the future. Good day.

    Interview: Daisy Banks author of A Perfect Match @DaisyBanks12 #RLFblog #scifi #fantasy

    A Perfect Match 

    About the Book

    Title A Perfect Match
    Genre Futuristic Fantasy
    Author Name Daisy Banks
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Daisy Banks whisks you
    into a futuristic world, where you might
    fight for water, or offer up your freedom and become a slave for the promise of
    enough to drink.
    Passion and politics
    ripple through A Perfect Match where the enmity between the government leader, Lord Chardel and Commander
    Varon, head of the Astan water acquirement fleet, is at flashpoint. The enforced
    marriage of Anwell Nastor, a young Temple
    adept, to Commander Varon, not only breaks Astan religious rules, but could break
    untried hearts. This cruel ploy meant to silence Varon’s opposition to current circumstances
    in the city-state brings unexpected results. Through careful manipulation of the
    news links, Varon and his bride become the city’s most adored couple, but danger
    shadows their steps.
    Join Anwell and Varon
    as they discover the power of A Perfect Match on their perilous journey in a world
    full of dangers and political intrigue.

    Interview with Daisy Banks

    Why did you write this
    book?
    This book is the offshoot of another I started. I realized I’d
    begun in the middle of something and needed the reasons behind those events for
    things to make sense. Therefore A Perfect Match came into being. I had a great time
    writing this story and found the characters, like their world, compelling. I think
    this is a cross genre romance, part fantasy and part sci-fi.
    This is the first time I have written something so complex and
    I enjoyed the challenge of world building and creating a religion, government and
    social structure. The society my characters function in is one where they shine
    as individuals and as a couple. I always enjoy seeing my characters overcome obstacles
    and Varon and Anwell face a raft of difficulties in A Perfect Match. I also like
    to see my characters grow and this couple develop as individuals as they learn to
    depend on each other.
    I guess the most basic reason of all as to why I wrote this story
    is that it was in my head and I wanted to tell the tale. The sci-fi futuristic elements
    to the story are a step in a different direction for me and I surprised myself with
    some of the aspects of the story.
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    I enjoy fantasy and have done for a long time. I like fantasy
    romance and epic fantasy stories. One of the joys of fantasy is the range and depth
    it offers both writers and readers.
    What is your favorite
    character from fiction?
    My all time favorite character remains Merlin in all the many
    interpretations of his story. I like the many different qualities within the character
    of Merlin. I also enjoy the range and depth different writers have discovered showing
    many elements to him.
    Do you enjoy films and/or
    TV shows? Which are your favorites?
    I enjoy movies in many genres and I love some of the old movies
    from the 30’s and 40’s. My favorite version of Pride and Prejudice is the black
    and white version. I adore Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dance movies and anything
    with Katherine Hepburn in it. I watch more up to date movies too and I have a big
    collection of DVD’s.
    The two most memorable films I saw in a cinema are Jaws, because
    the whole audience stood clapping and cheering at the end when the shark got killed,
    and Lord of the Rings part 1 because Hobbiton looked so close to my imagining.
    I don’t watch a great deal of TV but I do like Sherlock Holmes
    and Dr. Who. I tend to watch historical documentary style programs rather than anything
    else.
    What are you working on
    at the moment, and what are we likely to see from you in the coming months?
    At present, I am thrilled to have my book A Perfect Match released
    today by Taliesin Publishing and am working on some promotional activities and blogging
    about that story.
    I am also in edits with the sequel to Timeless, To Eternity,
    which will be published by Lyrical Press, A Kensington Imprint, later this year.
    I am very excited that this story will be available to readers soon.
    Next year my fantasy story, Marked for Magic, will be released
    by Lyrical Press too.
    I am also working on short story for a group anthology but that’s
    all a bit hush hush right now.
    There is a new historical as a work in progress too and a short
    story that should be finished by the end of July. All in all, there is lots going
    on and I’m working hard.
    Please tell us about your
    latest book.
    Commander Varon Jarlath is an interstellar water diviner of great
    talent and a hero to the city that survives because of his successful missions.
    His popularity with the folk adds to the reasons behind the enmity of Lord Chardel,
    leader of the city government body, the Carnag.
    Varon understands the malice behind the offer of a bride and
    the political difficulty he might face should he refuse the generosity of the Carnag.
    His hopes for the success of his marriage are not high until he meets his bride.
    Anwell Nastor has spent every day since her twelfth birthday
    in the Temple offering
    prayer chants to the gods. The shock of her wedding almost overwhelms her but she
    has courage and a mind.
    Political intrigue, the danger to the folk and the city all push
    Varon and his bride to work together to gain popularity so they can have a voice
    and make a difference.
