Introducing Brodie from Windmaster Golem by Helen Henderson @history2write #RLFblog #fantasy #romance
Save magic, the city, or a friend? Windmaster Golem by Helen Henderson
You have no magic. How do you stop a rogue mage, an army of clay soldiers, or save a friend from an invisible stalker?
Let’s meet Brodie from Windmaster Golem, a fantasy romance, by Helen Henderson. Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about the story your author wrote.
Windmaster Golem by Helen Henderson
Genre Fantasy Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
Kiansel, sister to the current Oracle of Givneh, is expected to one day assume the mantle and lead the temple’s followers. Her emerging powers force an impossible decision. To answer the siren call of magic requires she turn her back on her family, her heritage and the teachings of the Oracle.
Banishment to a remote village as healer, a position he despised, fueled Relliq’s desire for revenge. The discovery of a mythical city and an army of clay soldiers provided the means to control all mages—including the one he wanted most—Kiansel.
Brodie, weaponsmith for the School of Mages couldn’t refuse the archmage’s request to act as escort for a healing team fighting a curse upon the land. But how can a man without any magic of his own fight a curse or protect a friend from an invisible stalker?
Introducing Brodie
Please tell me about yourself.
Age I have lived 30 turns in this volume. However my tale actually begins when I make a brief appearance in Windmaster as a youth
Gender: Male
Birthplace: A mountain village in Nerelan
Profession: weaponsmith
Species (for scifi/fantasy characters): human
What do you look like?
I have brown eyes that can have an intense gaze when creating a tool for a special friend. My hair is brown, which is usually kept cropped to collar length so that it doesn’t get in the way when I’m working. Long legs that give me a height that is taller than most on the Isle of Mages, except for the archmage and Murdo, who serves as sergeant major for the residents, helps make quick work of the climb to my hilltop forge.
Who is the significant other in your life?
Ahhh. I don’t have a significant other. I am fond of the archmage’s two daughters, but they are not a romantic interest (at least on my part) as I think of them as my own daughters. There is one whom I can envision a life with. However, Kia is the sister to the current Oracle of Givneh… and a mage. A future between Kia and me cannot be as I have no powers.
Please tell us about your education.
My first exploration into learning a craft was as a mercenary. And my first assignment was a failed attempt to kill Lord Dal. Fortunately for me, he spared my life. I studied for a year with the king’s head guard, then spent a cold season at Telarim the Red’s mercenary camp, studying weapons and their use. There my talent for weaponsmithing was realized and I stayed on for two campaigns working with the troop’s weaponsmith before I apprenticed with the top weapon makers in Nerelan. Book learning came later, as did training to develop my natural talents in the arts of sketching, engraving, and working with stones to use in the jewelry and blades I create.
Are any of your skills a source of pride or embarrassment, and if so, which ones and why?
My ability to imbue life into steel is something I am extremely proud of. The weapons I make for the journeyman mages will serve as their tool for the rest of their lives. Even though I don’t know who will select what token for the hilt or what blade, each piece is special and customized for their future owner. Although I haven’t witnessed it myself as I have no powers of my own, those who are summoned to the council fire say the token, hilt, and blade that are meant to go together call out to the mage who will use the dagger to focus their powers. The pieces have been said to emit a beam of light skyward that only the intended future wizard can see.
Do you get by, live comfortably, live extravagantly?
My needs are simple. I have my own cottage on the isle, the freedom to come and go as I please. Those who like growing plants do so for everyone from student to master, mage and villager alike. Meals can be eaten in the communal hall or you can cook for yourself. Most days I take a slab of bread and some sliced meat with me to eat as my mid-day meal while I work. The evening meal is at the village. Murdo is a good cook and an even better baker.
Those who see me out and about on the archmage’s tasks might say I live extravagantly because of the horse I ride and my welcome at the most powerful houses in the land. I will share a secret about Wirake. He is no ordinary horse, but the son of the head stallion of the vale. And instead of selecting a wizard, he chose me, a man with no magic of my own, as his rider.
What is your family like?
I never knew my parents and those who lived in the mountain village they came from never accepted me. Which is why I signed up with Ruaridh, the head of the mercenary troop serving the false oracle I was hoping to find a family in the brotherhood of fighters. Of course, if I had had a happy childhood, I would never have met the archmage. Dal and Ellspeth became my family, and their daughters mine. While I may not have a family bound by blood, I ended up with one with even stronger ties.
What inner doubt causes you the most difficulty?
That because I don’t have any magic of my own, that one day I will fail Dal and his mate, Ellspeth. The archmage and his lady are my friends. They and their daughters treat me as a member of their family. I would never forgive myself if they fell in battle because I did not train them well enough… or if I failed to protect them.
If you could make any one thing happen, what would it be?
Almost every day since I came to the isle of the wizard’s council and school of magic, I have rued the fact I don’t have the ability to work magic. The other wizards have never treated me less because of it. We are friends… They are my family… I am just not fully one of them.
If I could make one thing happen, it would be for me to hear the summons to the council fire where journeyman mages earn their rank and dagger. For, if I heard the silent summons that would mean I have powers and be worthy of Kia.

Know the Hero from The Cinderella Curse by Dee S Knight @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #Romance #FairyTale #Contemporary
An erotic version of Cinderella, with a special Dee S Knight twist! A worldly Prince, a naïve Cindy, and an unassuming fairy godfather come together in a magical HEA ending.
Dee, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Thanks for sharing two tips with us today, but first, please tell us about The Cinderella Curse.
The Cinderella Curse by Dee S Knight
Genre Contemporary erotic romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
One evening, in a land far away, a wife spins a story for the amusement of her husband. Like the original tale, this contemporary Cinderella is definitely for those who love romance and a HEA. However, she adds a few touches of the erotic. For her husband, you understand.
In this tale, Charlotte dreams of her prince, James, but learns about beauty and love from her fairy godfather, Cooper. She might not lose a glass slipper, but her heart is in danger of being left behind. One thing for sure, by the time our Charlotte arrives at the ball, she’d sure like to know which man is her real Prince Charming.
Know the Hero from The Cinderella Curse
Here are some fun questions to help us know your hero.
It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?
Cooper is a photographer and therefore he’s never bored. His mind is always looking at the world through a new lense and thus a new perspective. If he’s not taking photos, he’s examining and evaluating them, either for work or pleasure.
What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?
He has the joy of high metabolism and preferring almost any kind of food. He might pick up a candy bar for a burst of energy but he’s more likely to look for a protein bar or trail mix.
Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.
Definitely comfortable because he’s often clambering over rocks or even up trees to get the best shot. Cargo pants work since they have lots of pockets. For dressy he rarely goes beyond khakis and a sports jacket over solid-colored tee.
Does he know how to fix things?
Oh yes. He has to be able to tweak cameras since he’s not always near a camera shop. He can fix simple things on a car and in the house, but he doesn’t do much beyond handyman-type items.
He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
Cooper is really more a beta hero than an alpha. He was engaged once upon a time. She left him for another man and he make quite the effort to act like he got past the hurt. He pretended to be friends with her, though she’d broken his heart. In the end, he might have made the girl feel better but he never ranted and raved so it delayed the healing. (He’s such a nice guy—I think a favorite hero of mine.)
How does he act around children he doesn’t know?
He’s great with kids and they inevitably like him. Some day he’ll make a wonderful father.
What is he like first thing in the morning?
He’s even-keeled in the morning—as he is most of the time. He doesn’t jump out of bed ready to attack the day but he’s not a grump, either.
Can he use chopsticks?
Yes, but he doesn’t use them to show off. If he thinks his use would make his dining companions feel weird, he’s happy using a fork.
Does he drink coffee? If so, how does he take it? If not, what does he drink instead?
Black coffee
What apps would he have on his phone?
The app for the magazine where he works, one or two for his favorite museums—you can’t study art color and composition too much—a couple for his favorite photography supply places. Of yes, and a news app.
Android or iPhone?
iPhone
Beard or clean-shaven?
Clean-shaven. He tried a beard once but couldn’t get past the itchy in-between stage.
Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?
No piercings or tattoos. If Charlotte breaks his heart, he might be upset enough to get a tattoo.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
Personal vehicle. He has to be in the field too much to use public transit.
Recycle or toss?
Truthfully, he usually tosses. But when he thinks of it, he doesn’t mind recycling.

The Maharaja’s Fake Fiancée by Alisha Kay
Genre Romantic Comedy
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
A scandal-averse Maharaja.
A free-spirited actress.
What do you get when you throw them together and add a fake engagement to the mix?
Either a match made-in-heaven or a royal disaster.
Nivy Sharma knows exactly what she needs – the freedom to be herself and follow her passion. Guess what she doesn’t need? A tailor-made husband.
When her meddlesome mother tries to throw her into the arms of a mom-approved suitor, Nivy runs the other way.
Right into the arms of the man who shattered her heart five years ago.
His Highness Veerendra Singh can recognize a pain-in-the-ass when he sees it. Especially when it falls into his arms.
Even if said pain-in-the-ass has legs that go on forever and lush lips that just beg to be kissed, Veer vows to run the other way. As he did once before.
But, when the marriage-minded princess of Tejpur sets her sights on him, Veer runs back into Nivy’s arms to propose a fake engagement.
When ‘fake’ starts to feel very real, Nivy and Veer have to decide what is important – long-held prejudices or the chance for a life with the only person they’ve ever loved.
Will this be their second chance at love or will their broken past ruin their hope for a shared future?

Jeans and a t-shirt.

Only computers.
He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
He tried to date a fellow royal, Princess Anika Dogra. That was a disaster because Veer has no interest in spoilt princesses.

He treats them as if they are adults.
What is he like first thing in the morning?
Grumpy until he has his first cup of coffee.
Can he use chopsticks?

One thing for sure, by the time our Charlotte arrives at the ball, she’d sure like to know which man is her real Prince Charming.
Know the Heroine from The Cinderella Curse
It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
Before meeting Cooper, her very own fairy godfather, Charlotte would have tried to catch up on work or (better yet) take the chance to sleep. Her two bosses, much like ugly stepsisters in the original Cinderella, work her to the bone, leaving her sleep deprived all too often. Since meeting Cooper and giving in to her “makeover,” he keeps her busy but with fun excursions to antique malls and sexy explorations in bed. With Cooper she’s almost never bored.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
A Baby Ruth candybar. Usually she eats healthfully, though.
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
Nothing that emphasizes her figure. She’s more a hide-the-shape kind of woman. She’s learning to get past that and wear more clothes that flatter her shape and coloring. Cooper is teaching her. Even now, though, she likes slacks and blouses for work, jeans and tees for casual.
Does she know how to fix things?
Basic things she’ll try but anything that hints at complexity she hires someone to fix. She can change a tire but won’t tinker under the hood, for example.
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
Charlotte has had her Prince Charming in mind the whole time she’s worked with Cooper, and she’s tried hard to remind him as they’ve been together that becoming a woman James (the PC she has in mind) would want to love. But when it comes time to plan a date with James, she botches telling Cooper. He’s angry and disappointed, and she has no idea how to fix things.
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
Gosh, I don’t think she meets any children in the book. She’s a little shy but kind so I think she would get along well with them.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
Always cheery, that’s our Charlotte. Damn it.
Can she use chopsticks?
No. But she never had anyone show her how, either.
Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?
Coffee, yes. Milk and sugar, no. She grew up in the country (Kansas) where they didn’t mess around with coffee additives.
What apps would she have on her phone?
The app for the magazine she works for. One for Scrabble and a crossword app.
Android or iPhone?
iPhone
Earrings or unpierced ears?
Earrings, but nothing too large or dangly
Tattoos or unadorned skin?
No tattoos. Maybe Cooper will talk her into something…
Personal vehicle or public transport?
Personal vehicle. Richmond is a great city but it’s not known for its fabulous public transportation.
Recycle or toss?
Recycle though she isn’t rabid about it.

Know the Hero: Izzorah from Surrender Love by Kayelle Allen #RLFblog #MMromance #SciFi
Luc’s immortal blood can heal Izzorah’s sight—but only Izzorah’s love can heal Luc’s heart. In Surrender Love by Kayelle Allen, Luc Saint-Cyr faces the chilling thought of eternity alone.
Surrender Love by Kayelle Allen
Genre An Immortal Alpha MM Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG16
An immortal alpha male. An illegal, near-blind rock musician. And twelve thousand years of lies…
Luc is the most powerful man in an intergalactic empire of 22 planets—but he’s alone, life after life.
Izzorah survives by hiding both his illegal status and his blindness for fear of banishment.
Luc’s immortal blood can heal Izzorah’s sight—but only Izzorah’s love can heal Luc’s heart.
Luc might risk violating the highest law among the immortals by sharing his blood, but it means revealing the truth of what he is, and that means baring every damning secret, every twisted truth, and twelve thousand years’ worth of dirty hidden lies.
With no guarantee their love can survive that kind of truth…
Know the Hero, Izzorah from Surrender Love
Name: Izzorah Ceeow
Age: 24
Physical description: 5’9″ golden skin, dark hair, green eyes
It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?
Izzorah is likely to curl up and listen to music, or watch a holovid on his mobile device. He’s a loner. Good reason – he’s an alien, a Kin. He doesn’t mesh well in human society and his catlike eyes, ears, and small fangs make it obvious. Some humans fear Kin, so he’s learned to keep a low profile.
What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?
His favorite meal is a steak, but Kin like theirs super rare, and humans usually overcook it. But he’ll eat almost anything when he’s hungry. He’s not a picky eater.
Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.
Izzorah lives in T-shirts and jeans, with comfortable boots. His favorite T-shirt has the logo for the rock group Iron Soul on the front. It’s tattered and stained, but he wears it all the time when it’s clean, and most of the time when it’s not. ;) Although Izzy is the drummer in Kumwhatmay, he doesn’t have anything with the band’s logo. Everytime he buys something, he ends up giving it to a fan.
Does he know how to fix things?
No technical ability at all. Not his strength. At least, not yet.
He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
Izzorah was supposed to stick close to his band leader on the way to sign an important five-year contract. But he got distracted by the smell of flowers from his homeworld, and slipped away to find the source. He’s able to focus only within an arm’s length, so he wears an assistive device on one ear that gives him a tone when he asks for directions. He’d turned it off and wasn’t aware he was about to walk into a waist-high wall. He slammed right into it. However, he did discover that the wall was an enclosure for a massive indoor terrarium, and climbed inside it. He couldn’t read the signs warning him to stay out, so he hopped up, and then knelt and scratched in the dirt to smell the soil. It was from his mother’s vast holdings back on his home planet. He was so stunned by this that he didn’t realize until the last minute that his band leader had come up to him. After being yelled at for wandering off (the second time that day), he climbed down and accompanied the band to the signing. But he never got to know how the terrarium had soil from his mother’s land. That will come up in a future book.
How does he act around children he doesn’t know?
He loves little kids and has a way with them. Kin males are the homemakers on Felidae. They stay home with the children and keep house. Females believe males are too undisciplined to control themselves. Males are mostly isolated within their families.
What is he like first thing in the morning?
He used to be hard to wake up, but now that he’s immortal, he has unlimited energy. Even so, he’d still rather snuggle in the morning.
How does he act around people who don’t know what he is?
He’s quiet. Izzorah has the ability to sense emotions in others, and it’s nigh onto impossible to lie to him.
Will he let a worker handle things or do it himself?
Izzorah does things for himself. He wouldn’t dream of asking someone to do anything for him.
Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?
He’s never been brave enough. Now that he’s immortal, nothing would stick. Piercings would heal too fast to be worthwhile.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
Before he met Luc, it was public transport and on foot.
Recycle or toss?
Reuse until it falls apart. He is conscious of the need to be a good steward of what he’s given or earned.

Know the Hero from Knight Moves
Here are some fun questions to help us know your hero.
It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?
He’ll whip out his sketchpad, grab his charcoal pencils, set the TV to Forensic Files, and sketch while he watches TV.
What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?
Kentucky Fried Chicken. He can’t get enough of the Colonel’s eleven herbs and spices.
Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.
Jeans, T-shirt, running shoes, and a hoodie
Does he know how to fix things?
He only knows how to break things LOL.
He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
He will get emotional and probably have a fit. He’s got a quick temper and lacks patience. If something does not go right the first time, he becomes frustrated.
How does he act around children he doesn’t know?
He’s really good with children. Being in foster care, he can relate to all children. He will talk to them. Play with them if they wish to play. If they are sad, try and cheer them up. He adores kids.
What is he like first thing in the morning?
He’s a little bit sleepy, but rather excited because he’s living at “Castle Oshawee,” his dream place, so every morning is something special to him, especially since René is across the hall from his bedroom.
Can he use chopsticks?
No. He prefers a knife and fork.
Does he drink coffee? If so, how does he take it? If not, what does he drink instead?
Yes, he does. He likes about three containers of cream and four teaspoons or sugar. If he’s not drinking coffee, he’s all about root beer.
What apps would he have on his phone?
He’s a 90s teenager so he does not have a smart phone, but if he did, he would most likely enjoy social media, drawing apps, apps related to his culture.
Android or iPhone?
I would say iPhone. He’s artsy, and he’d love Apple products.

An Ojibway from Northwestern Ontario, Maggie resides in the country with her husband and their fur babies, two beautiful Alaskan Malamutes. When she’s not writing, she can be found pulling weeds in the flower beds, mowing the huge lawn, walking the Mals deep in the bush, teeing up a ball at the golf course, fishing in the boat for walleye, or sitting on the deck at her sister’s house, making more wonderful memories with the people she loves most.
