Destiny, Talent, and Strategy
What did you like best about writing this series?
I enjoyed writing all my characters, but I had an especially good time with the pets. Delfina’s emotional support animal, Bulu, is similar to a flying lemur or flying squirrel, only she can change colors like a chameleon. She loves to play with the other characters and with Wulf, Andromeda’s robotic service dog. Writing about Bulu and Wulf made me smile.
What other books (not in this series, have you written?)
My other sci-fi romance novels include The Colony, Stellar Affair, Fate’s Mission, and Space Race. Paranormal romance readers might enjoy Wild Side, In Her Element, Dragon Tears, or Passion Fire. My fantasy works include Riding the Storm, The Great Road, Vanquished, and Noodles and Noggins. I also write a humorous cozy mystery series that includes The Clam Festival Murders, The Fish Fry Fiasco, The Sand Castle Calamity, The Lobster Trap, and The Shrimp Attack. There’s something for everyone!
Where can we find links for all your books?
My books are available at all the major booksellers. You can find the links on my website (https://author-laurelrichards.blogspot.com/) or visit my Amazon Author Page (https://www.amazon.com/author/laurelrichards).

Is It True: Blame it On the Moon by Livia Quinn @liviaquinn #RLFblog #PNR
Play Is It True with today’s guest Livia Quinn, author of Blame it on the Moon, an Urban Fantasy. This is a game in which authors answer yes and no questions. They can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.
First, tell us about your book.
Destiny – is it Mayberry or Middle Earth?
It’s the height of the Para-moon and Sheriff Jack Lang is up to his ‘6’ in alligators. Defending those weaker than himself is in his DNA which is what drove him to become a Navy pilot. But who is he kidding? Alligators he could handle! But supernatural bad guys? Ragtag doesn’t begin to describe his band of temporary ‘heroes’. If he has to go to war with the group that showed up at dawn, he might as well start cutting up white sheets and attaching them to garden stakes.
With Tempe and the other Paramortals ill or incapacitated and the sudden appearance of beings he’s never heard of, will Jack be able to keep Destiny out of the hands of their enemies for the rest of the power down an–very important–keep the humans in the dark?
It’s only twenty-four hours. If worse comes to worse, he has a dragon on his side and a few surprises up his sleeve. “Yippe, ki, yi…”
But a lot can happen in twenty-four hours and things don’t always go as planned.
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
Genre: Urban Fantasy

Storm Lake Boxed Set by Livia Quinn @liviaquinn #RLFblog #paranormal
Today’s featured book is the Storm Lake boxed set, a paranormal by Livia Quinn.
Welcome to Destiny, or should I say, Middle Earth?
I took the Sheriff position in Destiny thinking it a quaint, safe, normal small town – like Mayberry, but that ship sailed after I met Tempest Pomeroy – trouble magnet, storm witch, daughter of a Djinn and Tempestaerie, friend to dragons, fae, witches, and vampires.
Holy… to say my life had gone FUBAR was like saying Wolverine’s fingernails were long enough for a manicure. For a man who prided himself on being in control, never confronting a situation I couldn’t handle, suddenly I was face to face with my own delusions.
I may have thought that was the last straw. But there was always another haystack.
