    Cookie Cutter Cozy Mystery Series by Karen Cino

    Genre Cozy Mystery Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings):

    After a traumatic event in her life, Connie Acosta heads down to the Jersey Shore to stay with her friend, Sara Mazza, who lives in a fifty-five and over community. For Connie, this is a temporary stop until she figures out what she wants to do.

    Connie and Sara have a brief discussion and decide to start the baking business they had spoken about decades before. But things take a dramatic turn when Sara gets Connie involved in a mysterious adventure at the clubhouse.

    Tell us about yourself as a person.

    What makes you different from other people?

    That’s a tough question to answer. I’d say my personality and my ability to help people without looking for anything in return.

    What is your personality type?

    I’m outgoing. I love making people laugh. A typical Aries. But I do like my privacy. When I’m writing I tend to stay to myself.

    What was your favorite childhood game?

    I grew up in an apartment building in Brooklyn, New York. Everyday we would go into the courtyard with our chalk and play hopscotch. I also loved playing stoop ball.

    What is your favorite subject to talk about?

    I love talking about decorating and baking cookies and cakes, sharing my recipes. I also love about books and my favorite authors.

    What is your favorite book?

    Lovers and Gamblers by Jackie Collins

    What is your favorite meal?

    Anything made with eggplant.

    Tell us about yourself as a writer.

    What made you want to be a writer?

    I always loved telling stories. I wanted to be a sports writer. But at the time, it was a hard field for women to break into. But I always wrote poems, short stories and novels. I can’t remember a time when writing stories wasn’t a part of my life.

    What are your favorite books for writing advice?

    Save the Cat! But I find that talking to other published writers helped me the most. They are able to answer the questions honestly without all the fluff.

    What are your favorite reference books?

    Dictionary and Thesaurus. You can even get them online. My novels take place in settings that I’m familiar with. But for someone writing historical romances, it is important to do your research.

    When you go to a convention, what kinds of things do you take along?

    I always have business cards and swag. Of course in my tote I always carry a notebook and multiple pens.

    What’s your best advice for a new writer?

    Don’t give up. Keep writing everyday. Set a goal. My goal is 1000 words a day. Somedays I don’t get there, but somedays I write over 2000 words. Keep writing and mostly importantly, edit, edit and edit.

    What are your writing goals for this year?

    My goal is to release three books in the Cookie Cutter Cozy Mystery Series, one Women’s Fiction and one Women’s Fiction Romance Mystery.

    Bucket list of Tristian Shandie from A Warlock’s Secrets by Tena Stetler @TenaStetler #RLFblog #ParanormalRomance #Mystery

    Bucket list of Tristian Shandie from A Warlock's Secrets by Tena Stetler @TenaStetler #RLFblog #ParanormalRomance #MysteryLet’s meet Tristian Shandie from A Warlock’s Secrets, a Paranormal Romance/Mystery by Tena Stetler. Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about A Warlock’s Secrets.

    A Warlock’s Secrets by Tena Stetler

    Genre Paranormal Romance/Mystery

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13

    Years ago, a sacred ceremony at the Dragon’s Moon Coven turned deadly. Son of the high priestess, Tristian Shandie’s life changed forever. With a price on his head and revenge in his heart, he has no choice but to follow in his father’s footsteps to a profession shrouded in secrets. Now his skills as an enforcer for the Demon Overlord are second to none. But dangerous secrets he harbors are a liability he can no longer afford.

    A chance meeting with a woman he finds irresistible flips Tristian’s world upside down. Hannah is a cyber security specialist with secrets of her own. Bad boys never appealed to her until Tristian, who changes everything. In his darkest hours, she is dragged into his magical world.

    If they survive, is she strong enough to heal his heart and tame the warlock? Or will their secrets destroy them?

    When someone dies, we say they “kicked the bucket.” Therefore, a list of things that a person wants to accomplish, places to go, situations to experience, and so on have become known as a “Bucket List.”

    Age: Late 30’s
    Gender: Male
    Birthplace: Ireland
    Profession: Enforcer/Assassin
    Ethnicity: Irish

    Please provide a physical description of yourself.

    Approximately Six feet three inches, muscular, long legs, broad chest.

    Please tell us a little about yourself.

    I was, I guess I still am to some extent the Enforcer/ Assassin for the Demon Overlord of the Western Hemisphere. In the last year, I have transitioned from the hands on position to managing my teams of enforcers who keep the peace between the paranormal creatures residing in the mortal world.

    Who is the significant other in your life?

    Hannah Shaughnessy – She’s one tough lady. Never met anyone like her. I was impressed with her at our first meeting. Hannah is a cyber security specialist with secrets of her own

    If you haven’t made a bucket list before, perhaps now would be a good time. Who knows? It might inspire another book. While you’re at it, how about telling us about some of your other favorite things? Here are the questions.

    What is your birth order?

    I’m the firstborn son of the high priestess of our coven. I have a younger sister, Angie, I raised after our parents were murdered.

    Tell us about your favorite toy as a child.

    Toy, I don’t remember. Favorite thing to play with or hone would be my magical powers.

    Describe your favorite food and how it’s prepared.

    I love a thin crust pizza with beef, lots of cheese and sauce.

    Tell us about your best friend.

    This may sound strange, but it’s my boss. Bruce. We’ve worked together for years and have had each other’s backs for most of that time. Well there was an incident or maybe a time we didn’t see eye to eye. In fact I tried to kill him. He dated and eventually married my little sister. That was a difficult situation, but in the grand scheme of things it worked out.

    What are two places you would like to visit before you die, and why?

    Australia – The country intrigues me. Did you know there are species of creatures (normal not talking about paranormal) found nowhere else in the mortal world? The landscape is awe inspiring. And no one knows me there.

    In my line of work, I see the worst of just about all the countries in the mortal world. So not many places left for me to visit before my time is up. I own a beach house in Hawaii. I realize you mean places l’ve never been, but as I said, not many of those, only one in fact and I listed it already. So back to my beach house, it’s the only place I can relax, enjoy friends and be myself. Let my guard down, well mostly, never completely, which would be a fatal mistake.

    Where is a place you would never like to return, and why?

    Seventh level of Hell. Been there to deliver a prisoner, never want to go back.

    Who is someone you would like to meet, and why?

    Not many of these either. Garth Brooks or Jon BonJovi. I enjoy their music.

    Who is someone you would like to avoid, and why?

    Several of the other Demon Overlords. They, unlike Bruce, are always stirring up trouble. They let things get out of hand before addressing it. Then myself, or one of my teams are called up to terminate the situation. Know what I mean?

    If you could time travel to any date, what would it be, and what would you do there?

    The day my parents were murdered. I’d attempt to defuse the situation before it got so out of hand or if not possible annihilate the Demon’s responsible. We were caught of guard and by surprise. I vowed never to let that happen again. My sister deserved to have a childhood. I did the best I could, but was very strict with her in light of the death of our parents.

    About Tena Stetler

    Tena Stetler is a best-selling author of award winning paranormal romance/mysteries. She has an over-active imagination, which led to writing her first vampire romance as a tween to the chagrin of her mother and delight of her friends. After many years as a paralegal, then an IT Manager, she decided to live out her dream of pursuing a publishing career. She now has eleven books published and several in the pipeline.

    With the Rocky Mountains outside her window, she sits at her computer surrounded by a wide array of witches, shapeshifters, demons, faeries, and gryphons, with a Navy SEAL or two mixed in telling their tales. Her books tell stories of magical kick-ass women and mystical alpha males that dare to love them. Travel, adventure and a bit of mystery flourish in her books along with a few companion animals to round out the tales.

    Colorado is home; shared with her husband of many moons, a brilliant Chow Chow, a spoiled parrot and a fifty-year-old box turtle. When she’s not writing, her time is spent kayaking, camping, hiking, biking or just relaxing in the great Colorado outdoors.

    What was your biggest challenge in writing this book?

    Tristian was not an easy character to write. I hadn’t planned on writing his story, but after readers and reviews clamored for his story. I delved into it. He challenged me at every turn.

    Why did you choose this character for the interview today?

    Because after spending so much time learning about him, he has become one of my favor characters. There are multi-facets to his personality.

    When writing the book, what did you discover about this character that surprised you?

    In truth, as I said above, I’d never considered writing his story. He was the Demon Overlords enforcer/assassin, for heaven’s sake (A Demon’s Witch). After delving into who he really is and what he wants, come to find out, he has a strong moral compass and when love comes his way he is fiercely protective and everything Hannah is looking for in a forever relationship.

    Are any sequels planned for this book?

    A Warlock’s Secrets is book two in the five, soon to be six book in the award winning Demon’s Witch Series.

    What genre(s) would you like to write that you haven’t tried yet?

    Cozy mystery. In fact I have one on the back burner as we speak.

    What would your readers be surprised to learn about you?

    Why should readers who haven’t picked up one of your books before give this one a try?

    Is there anything you’d like to say to your readers?

    Karen Cino, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.

    New Beginnings by Karen Cino

    Genre Contemporary Cozy Mystery Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13

    Book 1: After a traumatic event in her life, Connie Acosta heads down to the Jersey Shore to stay with her friend, Sara Mazza, who lives in a fifty-five and over community. For Connie, this is a temporary stop until she figures out what she wants to do.

    Connie and Sara have a brief discussion and decide to start the baking business they had spoken about decades before. But things take a dramatic turn when Sara gets Connie involved in a mysterious adventure at the clubhouse.

    Book 2: Connie Acosta is officially a resident in the fifty-five and older community her best friend Sara Mazza lives in. Her baker’s kitchen is almost complete and she has met Vic, another resident who is crazy about her. Meanwhile, Sara finds herself in the mist of a love triangle with Vic’s friend Jack and Warren, a police officer at the local station.

    When Sara received a call from her friend at the clubhouse saying there is a dead body floating in the outdoor pool, the women rush there to check things out, getting themselves involved in another investigation, especially when Sara finds a few blue pills scattered in the grass that she didn’t turn into the police.

    Book 3: All is quiet at the fifty-five and older community where Connie Acosta is running her illegal bakery out of best friend Sara Mazza’s garage. Both women swore off getting involved in any police business at the compound. Just as the two amateur sleuths are enjoying a night out in the clubhouse ballroom, a scream from the lounge draws them into the middle of a police investigation with Warren and Brett, their current partners. Who said seniors can’t get into trouble and fall in love again?

    QUICK

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

    Yes, I do. I write Women’s Fiction, Contemporary Romance and Cozy Mysteries with a twist or romance.

    How do you come up with ideas?…

    Sometimes I wake up and remember a fragment of a dream and go with it. (Like in my novel Roses.) Other times I can be walking down the street and something catches my eye that leads to a scene. I have so many ideas written down for books. I always take a notebook along with me so that I can write down idea. Pulling over on the side of a highway is always an option when an idea strikes.

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

    It is important that I write about a subject that readers can relate to. A HEA ending is always nice, but the relationships prior to meeting that special someone will help to make in your decision making.

    When did you write your first book?…

    I wrote my first book when I was in high school. I still have those handwritten notebooks that should have had history notes in it. My next book I wrote while I was in college. (I still have the original typewritten manuscript. But my first real book I wrote when my son was an infant and had his nights and days mixed up. I would handwrite in the middle of the night and type the next day when he napped.

    FUN

    Leather or lace? Leather

    Black or red? Red

    Satin sheets or smooth cotton? Smooth cotton

    Ocean or mountains? Definitely the Ocean. I love the beach!

    City life or country life? City life.

    Party life or evening at home? A quiet evening at home.

    Dogs or cats? I am an animal lover so I have to say both.

But all is not as it seems at the Goldstone, its doctors and nurses are all the picture of perfect beauty and health. Patients at the clinic first seem to get better, then they deteriorate.

    It used to be my husband Jesse. But that’s over. So now I’ve met Rick Paulsen, a tall young blond doctor with Brad-Pitt blue sapphire eyes—my downfall.

    How do you dress?

    Definitely casual and comfortable. The life of a reporter is pretty hectic. You never know where you’re going to end up in the course of a day, especially with an editor like mine. One minute you could be in City Hall and the next, in a cow barn!

    On what special skills do you rely?

    Mostly I work by my intuition—what I feel in my gut. When you’re working for a newspaper, sometimes you’re doing a story people want you to do, and sometimes you’re uncovering something awful. You have to know when people are telling you the truth. If you don’t think they are, then you have to cross-check and do your research to be able to bring your readers the truth.

    What kinds of things do you always carry (in pockets or purse)?

    I always have a pen and a notebook. You never know when you’re going to get a quote from someone—it’s important to have the reputation of getting things right.

    Are you close to family?

    No, my parents have passed on, and there really isn’t anyone else. That’s why I packed up and left Pittsburgh after the divorce. I had nowhere to “go home” to, so I just grabbed the first newspaper job I could find.

    How well do you know your neighbors?

    My landlady, Thelma McCracken, lives downstairs, and I have the apartment in the upstairs of her house. She used to be a reporter for the Courier back in the day, and she has a finger in just about every pot in town. She’s a great source for material, and she also worries about me like an old maiden aunt.

    What would you like people who hear your story to know?

    That you never know everything about someone, even if you love them with all your heart. Protect yourself and stay safe.
