Jessica was wandering the highway after a storm when Quentin stops to help. His tractor trailer proved not large enough for her emotional baggage, but his immediate love of her was more than adequate.

June, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about 88s, Baby.

Thanks for having me!

88s, Baby by June Kramin

Genre Contemporary Romance

Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

It’s currently just 99¢ – it’s book 1 of 2

When a terrible storm takes Quentin on a detour, he finds something far more dangerous than tornados and hail; he finds Jessica, who threatens to leave a gaping hole in his heart.

Jessica is running from more than a storm. A painful secret from her past has left physical as well as emotional scars. Although she finds herself falling for Quentin, she flees the safety of his company, convinced he’d be better off without her.

Unfortunately, trouble finds her before Quentin does. Freeing Jessica from a would-be kidnapper is just the beginning. Convincing her to forget her past proves to be an even tougher challenge as he persuades her to return with him to his Texas home.

QUICK

Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?

Yes, I do. I also have a middle grade fantasy series, Before Happily Ever After, under the pen name Ann T Bugg. The stories are fairy tales and folklore retold, with the shenanigans only my 2 characters, Valerie and Samantha can deliver. It ranges from sweet Snow White and Rapunzel tales, to helping King Arthur and Captain Nemo, and they even find the lost cities of gold and Atlantis! The first book in the series is currently free.

How do you come up with ideas?

I honestly have no clue. I’ve always said I have nothing to do with my writing process! Ideas hit me when the characters are good and ready. (This is the part where you run from the crazy writer…) I had one character interrupt me when I was in the middle of book 4 of my romantic suspense series and demand I write his next book. It was actually the favorite of many fans, so it pays to listen to them. (The others waited patiently for me to return. *whew* )

What is the single most important part of writing for you?

I hope to make an escape for the reader. I love when I get an e-mail, “You kept me up last night!” Things are depressing enough these days. I want the reader to be able to be lost in another world and hopefully, with a new book boyfriend. I receive that e-mail a lot about Quentin! I have to admit, he is one of my favorites. (Don’t tell the others.)

When did you write your first book?

Although I had been told I would be a writer since I was in third grade, I was forty before I actually sat down to write. When I did, it was a full-length novel. I didn’t have dozens of spiral notebooks like many of my friends with tons of unfinished stories and ideas. I never did the article, short story, novella thing. I went straight to 80K. I went from there to a middle grade, and back and forth for years. Fifteen years later, I’m at thirty books published. Seems like it went by in a blink.
