    Spring Into Love 
    Marcia James author of “Love Unleashed,” one of eleven
    novellas in the Spring Into Love eBook boxed set answers five easy questions to
    help readers get to know her better.

    Author Bio

    Marcia James writes hot, humorous romances featuring heroines
    you can root for, heroes to die for, and funny dogs. She finaled in 11 Romance Writers
    of America contests before selling her first comic romantic suspense, At Her Command.
    In her eclectic career, she has directed submarine training videos, organized celebrity-filled
    nonprofit events, and had her wedding covered by People Magazine. After years of
    dealing with such sexy topics as how to safely install traffic lights, she is enjoying
    “researching” and plotting her novels’ steamy love scenes with her husband
    and hero of many years.
    What’s your favorite down-home
    family style meal?
    From childhood, my favorite comfort food has been meatloaf with
    mashed potatoes, followed closely by chicken and dumplings.
    What is your go-to meal
    when you dine out?
    I prefer to eat several appetizers (usually interesting things
    like steamed edamame or pork belly tacos) vs. getting a full entree. The exception
    is when I’m at an Italian restaurant and want to take part of a pasta dish home
    for yummy leftovers. I also enjoy Mexican and Asian dishes.
    Describe the perfect vacation.
    I love any relaxing vacation that offers wine tastings, gourmet
    restaurants, and an opportunity to play video poker at a casino. That’s why we’ve
    visited Napa Valley, CA; Las Vegas, NV; and Scottsdale, AZ numerous times. I’m not
    a beach person. I’d prefer visiting the mountains, like Breckenridge, CO, to a Florida
    beach vacation.
    What kinds of things do
    you read when you’re researching a new book?
    For research, I read articles and books, but I also talk with
    people who are in the professions my hero and heroine have chosen or who have knowledge
    of some aspect of my work-in-progress. For example, I’ve spoken to crime lab techs
    for my comic romantic suspense, At Her Command. And I’ve interviewed several sex
    therapists for Sex and the Single Therapist, the first in my “Dr. Ally Skye”
    funny romantic mystery series. My next novella, “Racing Hearts,” is the
    first in a series about a therapy dog training facility, and I’m arranging to watch
    the classes at a local facility that trains dogs for people with emotional, health,
    and disability challenges.
    If the hero of your latest
    book called you on the phone, what would be a perfect ringtone for him?
    The hero in “Love Unleashed” is a radio DJ with the
    on-air nickname of “Rabid Ron” Hart. So I imagine he’d enjoy a ringtone
    of the wolf-howling chorus from Warren Zevon’s “Werewolves of London.”

  • Character Interviews

    Philippa Marlowmellow from Mallow Mayhem by @Lisa_Haman #RLFblog #parody

    Interview with Philippa Marlowmellow

    This interview is designed for your hero or heroine to tell
    readers about himself or herself.
    Tell us about
    yourself, please.
    Well…I’m Philippa Marlowmellow. I’m a private detective. I
    live in Mallowtown. I work and live in the Pink.
    What is the Pink? Did
    you grow up there?
    Oh no. I didn’t grow up in the Pink. The Pink is the seedier
    side of Mallowtown. It’s a dangerous place to be. No one really chooses to live
    in the Pink. You just kind of end up there.
    How did you end up in
    the Pink?
    I had a great time growing up. I lived in the burbs, went to
    the right schools. Had the right friends. When I was in college, my roommate
    and best friend disappeared. They found her body in the Pink. She was…she
    was…well, anyway, I changed my major from education to criminal justice, but I
    couldn’t leave her murder alone. I had to find out what happened. And I did. I
    quit school and got my detective’s license. I live in the Pink because that’s
    where most of the mallows need help.
    Authors call what you
    want but cannot have “the conflict” — what is yours?
    Hmmm…that’s a hard question. Sometimes I want to go back to
    my other life and unsee the things I’ve seen. I have a love/hate relationship
    with the Pink. Sometimes I want to go back to the suburbs, live in a nice
    graham cracker house with a white sugar picket fence, marry a successful mallow
    and have 2.5 chicks, but then there are the mallows that need my help. Those who
    don’t have anyone to look out for them; it’s hard.
    What can you not do (but
    need to do) during this story?
    I think I did everything I could do during this story. It’s
    hard not to be a bunny when trying to get into stripper joints, since chicks
    don’t make good strippers. I don’t think we’re limber enough.
    What inner doubt
    causes you the most difficulty?
    That I will miss something in an investigation and some
    mallow gets hurt.
    In the story world
    your author created, explain what it is you fear most and why.
    That I will lose my sense of self. I don’t want to be that
    jaded chick who thinks the world is an awful place. I’ve seen some pretty bad
    things, but the world is still a beautiful place.
    Tell us about your
    significant other, that person who makes living worthwhile.
    Right now I don’t have one…although there is this chick at
    the MBI who is really cute.
    What would that
    person say about you?
    Right now this mallow would say I’m crazy and likes to get
    into trouble.
    What is your family
    like?
    I have a great family. My dad is a banker and my mom is a
    stay-at-home mom. We were pretty boring. We were that typical suburban family.
    I have a sister, which is good. My parents worry and they can dote on her, the
    normal one. (she laughs.). She had a temper, and when she blew…oh my. My dad
    used her craft scissors to cut up some licorice rope. You don’t mess with my
    mom’s craft scissors. I thought the roof was going to come off the house. It
    was short lived and they made up. My parents never stayed mad at each other. They
    encouraged us to be our best. They may not like what I do, but they support me
    the best they can.
    What special skills
    do you rely on?
    My mallow senses. They tingle and I know something’s not
    right. They’ve kept me out of trouble and help when I need to investigate
    something further.
    If someone from your
    past showed up, who would you NOT want it to be, and why?
    I don’t want to be a cliché and say Big Bunny, because he’s
    nothing to me. I don’t think I have anyone that I wouldn’t want to show up.
    Like I said, I grew up in a pretty boring suburban setting.
    Why are you happy (or
    not happy) with the way your story ended?
    Why wouldn’t I be happy with the way my story ended? I love
    the way it all came together. I was the heroine, along with Jenny. The bad
    mallows went to jail, Easter Bunny was saved and all is well with the world…at
    the moment.

    About the Writer

    Lisa Haman lives in the suburbs of Atlanta with her
    wonderful husband, two beautiful children, and two cats, O.C. and Koko. Koko
    loves to help her to write on occasion by sitting on the keyboard of her
    laptop. Lisa plays electric bass, aka Kitty Blue, with the praise band at her
    church. Although she doesn’t design her own patterns, Lisa creates beautiful
    pictures with counted cross stitch, which more often than not go to family and
    friends. Lisa’s interest in the paranormal fuels her imagination. She likes to
    scare herself silly with reality ghost series on television. She likes to write
    wherever her imagination takes her, but focuses on young adult fiction. She
    also is working on her first paranormal series for young adults yet to be titled.
    Her first novella, Fat Farm, is a
    work of speculative fiction, takes us on a journey where beauty is important
    and being overweight sends you off to a fat farm, where you may or may not
    return. Lisa’s favorite quote is from Robert Frost. “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, and
    that has made all the difference.” Lisa takes the road less travelled in her
    stories.
    What was your biggest
    challenge in writing this book?
    I originally wrote this as a writing exercise that got away
    from me. The story contained all the original candy names. I learned I couldn’t
    use those names because of trademark issues, so coming up with other names for
    the candy was tough.
    Why did you choose
    this character for the interview today?
    I think Philippa is a neat character. I watch a lot of shows
    like NCIS, Elementary, and I like how they solve crimes. I like to know what is
    going on. I’m kind of nosy and unfortunately my sense of right and wrong won’t
    let me get into people’s business, so I let Philippa do it for me.
    Are any sequels
    planned for this book?
    Yes. She’s a fun character and I want to find out more about
    her.
    What would your
    readers be surprised to learn about you?
    During Christmas I will watch every version of the movie of
    A Christmas Carol I can find. It could be the good ones with Alastair Sim and
    Patrick Stewart, to the cheesy ones, and the really bad ones. The funny thing
    is I’ve never read the book. It’s on my to-read list.
    Why should readers
    who haven’t picked up one of your books before give this one a try?
    It’s fun. It’s total escapism. It’s a fun detective story
    that is off the wall and cool.
    Is there anything
    you’d like to say to your readers?
    I’m glad you are out there. I’m a reader and have loved
    books all my life. My goal as a writer is to tell a good story and have people
    enjoy them. I hope you enjoy mine.

    Week before Thanksgiving,

    Interview with Marilyn Baron

    Why did you write this
    book?
    I wanted to feature a heroine of a certain age because I’m not
    getting any younger and I believe people don’t just want to read about twenty-somethings.
    This book was originally called, The Colonoscopy Club, so right away you know what
    age I’m talking about. In Stones, I take a humorous look at a woman who can’t seem
    to get closure in her life. My central character Julie has issues. Even her issues
    have issues. Stones is about how Julie deals with those issues and features the
    themes of first loves and second chances.
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    I write in a number of genres—from historical romantic thrillers
    and suspense to paranormal and women’s fiction—and I love to read a variety of genres.
    Among my favorite genres are thrillers, literary fiction, and romantic suspense.
    I have read a lot of amazing YA lately.
    What is your favorite
    character from fiction (not including your own characters)?
    Gabriel Allon in the Daniel Silva books.
    Do you enjoy films and/or
    TV shows? Which are your favorites?
    I love movies and I watch a lot of TV. Some of my favorite TV
    shows are Castle, Rizzoli and Isles, Major Crimes, Blue Bloods, The Good Wife, The
    Bridge, and Downton Abbey.
    What are you working on
    at the moment, and what are we likely to see from you in the coming months?
    I am currently finishing Book Three of my Psychic Crystal Mystery
    Series. Book One is Sixth Sense; Book Two is Homecoming Homicides. Book Three is
    called Murder on the Repositioning Cruise.
    I have a new women’s fiction book coming out this year in The
    Lobster Cove Series from The Wild Rose Press (TWRP) called The Widows’ Gallery.
    I’m very excited to be participating in this series. Lobster Cove is a quaint and
    quirky fictional town on the coast of Maine near Bar Harbor. Participating TWRP
    authors write stories across all lines as long as they’re set in Lobster Cove.
    Here’s the blurb for The Widows’ Gallery:
    Four recently widowed women meet on a Mediterranean cruise, bond
    over the Renaissance masterpiece, The Birth
    of Venus
    , in Florence, Italy, and find love, friendship and joy in their joint
    venture to open an art gallery in the quaint, quirky, coastal town of Lobster Cove,
    Maine.
    Please tell us some fun
    facts about your latest book, Stones.
    The Colonoscopy Club (Now the published novel Stones) finaled
    in the GRW Unpublished Maggie Awards for Excellence in 2005 in the Single Title
    category.
    I lived in Florence, Italy, for six months during my junior year
    in college, where I studied Art History, Italian, English, Mythology and Religion.
    Part of Stones is set in Florence. The story is also set in Atlanta, Miami, and
    Palm Coast. I was born in Miami and currently live in Atlanta and I own a beach
    condo in Palm Coast. My central character owns an upscale jewelry boutique called
    Stones, hence the name of the novel. I love jewelry, which is why I chose that career
    for my heroine. My birthstone is an emerald which is why I wanted an emerald necklace
    on the cover. A priceless emerald medallion is also featured prominently in the
    book.
    In Stones, Julie is planning her son’s wedding and in real life,
    I’m planning my daughter’s wedding.
    The first line and my favorite line of the book is “Thank
    God for lint.”
    The book will be officially released September 26. Right now
    it’s only available in paperback. It was released early in paperback in time for
    my appearance on a panel at the Decatur Book Festival Saturday August 30 from 10:00
    a.m. to 10:45 a.m. called “Tackling Sensitive Issues in Fiction.” Additional
    information about the event is available on https://www.facebook.com/events/623254154448358/
    If you’re in the Atlanta area over Labor Day I hope you’ll attend the presentation/book
    signing.

    Character Interview: “Left at the Altar Series” Brides @JanaRichards_ #RLFblog

    Always A Bridesmaid 
    Jana Richards, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. We’re excited
    to interview your heroines from the Left at the Altar series, Sarah Stevens, from
    Her Best Man, Olivia Taylor from There Goes The Groom, and Dani Dipietro from Always
    A Bridesmaid.
    Genre: Contemporary humorous romance
    Cover artist: Judith B Glad
    Length: Each book is between 50,000 and 60,000 words
    Heat rating (based on movie
    ratings): R
    Her Best Man When Sarah gets dumped at the altar she discovers
    the best man for her really is the best man.
    There Goes The Groom Tony is given a second chance when fate
    throws him back together with Olivia, the woman he left at the altar eight years
    ago.
    Always A Bridesmaid A heart guarded too closely can’t be broken,
    but neither can it find love.
    Always A Bridesmaid, releasing
    today!
    Dani Dipietro has always considered herself an ugly duckling in a family
    of swans. She’s the bridesmaid her friends count on, but never the woman any man
    wants for his bride. So she plays the funny girl and guards her emotions, and her
    secrets, closely.
    When Zach Morrison was dumped at his wedding, Dani was there to help him
    through the humiliation. A year later they meet again and once more Zach needs her
    help. To fend off the unwanted attentions of his former fiancé Chantal, he asks
    Dani to pretend to be his girlfriend. They play their roles a little too well, and
    make believe turns into reality. But their relationship comes crashing down around
    them when Zach’s trust issues cause him to accuse Dani of cheating. Telling the
    truth means that Dani will betray a friend, something she will never do. But keeping
    her secrets means she may be destined to remain a bridesmaid forever.

    What are your main characters’ names, ages, and occupations?
    Sarah is a kindergarten teacher, Olivia works in promotions for

    They’re all about the same age at 29.

    Interview with Sarah Stevens, Olivia Taylor, and Dani Dipietro from the ‘Left
    at the Altar’ series by Jana Richards.

    Jana:              Tell us about yourselves. Why don’t
    you go first Sarah?
    Sarah:            Okay, sure. Well, I’ve been a teacher
    for about seven years and I’ve been married to my husband Will for almost two years.
    Olivia:             (laughs) Why don’t you tell the folks
    how you met your husband, Sarah?
    Sarah:            Funny story. He was the best man at my
    wedding. His brother was my fiancé, the one who dumped me at the altar. Fortunately,
    we can laugh about it now.
    Dani:              As I recall, you weren’t laughing then.
    Sarah:            No, not so much. It was the most humiliating
    experience of my life and practically everyone I knew was there to witness my groom
    become incoherent with fear at the thought of marrying me. Good times!
    Olivia:             Unfortunately, I know exactly what you
    went through, Sarah. At our first wedding, when Tony stopped the ceremony to tell
    me he couldn’t marry me, I was mortified. But in a strange way I was also relieved.
    I was barely twenty and I wasn’t ready for marriage, even though I loved Tony desperately.
    I never stopped loving him during the eight years we were apart.
    Dani:              If you never stopped loving Tony, who
    happens to be my brother, why did you become engaged to someone else?
    Olivia:             (shrugs) It seemed like a good idea
    at the time. By the time I turned 28, I wanted a family, kids. Stuart was solid
    and dependable, or so I thought. It turns out, we were both kidding ourselves.
    Sarah:            Liv, do you realize that Dani is the
    only one of us who hasn’t been dumped at the altar?
    Dani:              (snorts) That’s because you can only
    get dumped at the altar if you actually get engaged. I haven’t even had a date in
    six months.
    Olivia:             I’ve got a feeling that’s going to change
    for you very soon.
    Dani:              So are you psychic now?
    Olivia:             No, I just have a good feeling.
    Dani:              You’re delusion.
    Sarah:            You really need to get laid. You’re getting
    grumpy.
    Jana:              Okay, play nice, ladies. Here’s another
    question for you. What do you wish was different about your life?
    Sarah:            I don’t know if I’d want to change anything.
    My life is pretty terrific right now. Will is a wonderful, loving man, and he has
    a fantastic body. Handsome face, buns of steel, six-pack abs. He’s the whole package.
    And what a package he’s got.
    Dani:              Sarah! There could be children reading
    this!
    Olivia:             No, there’s not. Geez Dani, I didn’t
    know you were such a prude.
    Sarah:            Told you she needs to get laid.
    Dani:              Is this gang up on Dani day or something?
    Olivia:             Of course not. Okay Jana, to answer
    your question, I think the only thing I’d want to change about my life is that I’d
    like to have a family. Maybe not seven kids like Tony and Dani’s family, but a few.
    Having a baby with Tony would be so wonderful. We’re working on it. And I really
    hope we keep working on it for a long, long time. My husband is amazing in bed.
    Last night he–
    Dani:              (sticks fingers in ears) La, la, la.
    I can’t hear you. For cripes sake, Liv, this is my brother you’re talking about.
    Olivia:             Well, he is amazing. In a lot of ways.
    (winks)
    Dani:              Ever since you two got married, all
    you think about is sex.
    Sarah:            Yeah, pretty much.
    Olivia:             Sounds about right.
    Sarah:            Dani, someday when you find the right
    guy, you’ll understand where we’re coming from.
    Dani:              The right guy. Sure.
    Olivia:             You haven’t answered Jana’s question,
    Dani. What do you wish was different about your life?
    Dani:              Thanks, but I’m good. I don’t need
    to change anything.
    Olivia:             Do you mean it, or are you just saying
    that because Sarah and I didn’t want to change anything about our lives?
    Dani:              Okay, maybe there’s a couple of things
    about my life I’d want to change. I could always stand to lose a few pounds. Or
    twenty.
    Sarah:            The question was what do you wish was
    different about your life, not your body. You’re always so hard on yourself, sweetie.
    Dani:              Maybe. I guess if I could wave a magic
    wand, I’d want someone in my life who would love me just the way I am, warts, love
    handles and all.
    Olivia:             It’s going to happen for you, Dani.
    I know it will.
    Dani0:            (grins) Are you having a feeling again?
    Olivia:             Absolutely!

    About the Author

    When Jana Richards read her first romance novel, she immediately
    knew two things: she had to commit the stories running through her head to paper,
    and they had to end with a happily ever after. She also knew she’d found what she
    was meant to do. Since then she’s never met a romance genre she didn’t like. She
    writes contemporary romance, romantic suspense, and historical romance set in World
    War Two, in lengths ranging from short story to full length novel. Just for fun,
    she throws in generous helpings of humor, and the occasional dash of the paranormal.
    Her paranormal romantic suspense “Seeing Things” was a 2008 EPPIE finalist.
    In her life away from writing, Jana is an accountant/admin assistant,
    a mother to two grown daughters, and a wife to her husband Warren. She enjoys golf,
    yoga, movies, concerts, travel and reading, not necessarily in that order. She and
    her husband live in Winnipeg
    with their Pug/Terrier cross Lou and several unnamed goldfish. She loves to hear
    from readers and can be reached through her website at www.janarichards.com
