Saying goodbye to the Romance Lives Forever blog #RLFblog
-
Thank you and ‘Auf Wiedersehn’ to Kayelle’s RFL Blog from Iris Blobel @_iris_b #Books #RLFblog
I know today’s post is supposed to be a last chance to promote one of my books for the last time here on the RFL Blog before the blog retires next year.But I’d like to take this opportunity to say thanks. Thanks to Kayelle, who deserves more than a thanks. My gratitude for all she’s done over the many years, and not just for the RFL blog, but for everything else she’s created, oversees, and keeps running. The many (many!) ways that she tries to help authors find their way in the business of publishing. And she doesn’t do it by just creating opportunities, no, she guides everyone along. She’s always reaching out to help and finding solutions. I had a quick look through the blog and counted six posts promoting my books. That’s amazing. And she did it without asking for anything in return.
Her support went beyond helping authors. October was always the #Canceraware month on the RFL Blog, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who appreciated the opportunity to talk about the illness and its struggles.
Kayelle, my sincerest thanks for everything you have done over the many years. I hope one day all your good deeds will come back multiplied in good luck. ♥
And while I am here, I might as well ‘show off’ one of my books. 😊
Fresh Beginnings is currently 99c (on Amazon only).
Why did I write this book?
I love this book. We went to the USA a few years ago, travelling in a motorhome through 5 different states and having the time of our lives. After returning home and looking through hundreds of photos, I came up with the idea to turn our itinerary into a story. Fresh Beginnings was born. I hope the readers will enjoy this little journey, and hopefully my love for the places that we went shines through.Iris Blobel Social Media

Bigalow by Iris Blobel
Genre Contemporary Romance with a touch of paranormal
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): 3He came out of nowhere … encouraging her to ask the right questions.
Hannah believes her life in solitude is all she wants and all she needs. She’s settled in the small town of Fermosa Bay where she’s taken over a medical practice after leaving her husband. When the enigmatic Bigalow steps into her life, turning it upside-down, she can’t hide the growing irritation inside. Yet, slowly and steadily, he reminds her what life is all about and what she’s missing out on. Especially when she crosses paths with her neighbour, Gideon.
As she begins to ask the right questions, Hannah’s fondness for Bigalow gently grows, and so do her feelings for Gideon. But is she ready to hear the answers to her questions?
Why did you write this book?
My life has been a little chaotic (and sometimes scary) over the last few years. And with Covid across the world, I wanted to write a book to remind myself, and hopefully the readers as well, how precious life is and how much we should enjoy it. Each day.
What is your favorite genre to read?
I read across the board, but I prefer mysteries and crime.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
James Bond
What are you working on at the moment?
I have two books I’m working on at the moment. One is book two in the Fermosa Bay series, of which Bigalow is part of as well, and the other one is another book in the Alinta Bay series.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
I’m hoping to be able to finalise “Secrets of the Past” over the next few months.

Read Entangled Moments the new #SportsRomance by Iris Blobel @_iris_b #RLFblog #ContemporaryRomance
Sometimes risking what you have means you might lose everything…Iris, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Entangled Moments.
Entangled Moments by Iris Blobel
Genre Sports Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): steamy’ish
Markus and Sarah’s lives couldn’t be more different…
After three years away as a goalkeeper for an English soccer club, Markus DeLeon is happy to be back in Melbourne, back with his family and friends, including Sarah. He has known her since childhood, and has often provided her with a safe place from the teasing of other children and the troubles of a broken home. Yet, events after attending their friends’ wedding set off a shift in their relationship and questions, which neither Markus nor Sarah know how to approach.
Sarah Winter caught her boyfriend cheating on her, and not for the first time Markus offers her a much-needed shoulder to cry on. This time, however, an attraction between them intensifies, ending in a passionate afternoon, and Markus doesn’t know how to handle this new side of their friendship and flees to the coast. Sarah, unsure as well about the recent events, is surprised by his sudden departure, but is soon sidetracked by misunderstandings and a family emergency.
Why did you write this book?
The book is part of a series I wrote about 10 years ago. I wanted to write about sport stars so I chose a popular Australian sport (Australian Football League AFL), a sport I really like (Baseball) and a sport I have some knowledge about (Soccer).
Entangled Moments is about soccer player Markus who’s returning to Australia after playing in the UK for a few years. Writing about his relationship with his best friend Sarah was interesting and challenging at the same time when both are attracted to each other but neither are game enough to risk their friendship.
What is your favorite genre to read?
I really like crime and mystery books.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
James Bond & Jack Reacher
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m writing a romance story with a different twist.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
I’m finalising another book set in New Zealand. Can’t wait for it to see the light of day soon.
