    Daylan’s world spirals out of control as he searches for Josie. Can he break the age old curse to save her and their future, or will she be lost to him forever?

    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: 35 years

    Gender: Male

    Birthplace: Martha’s Vineyard

    Profession: Blacksmith, Bladesmith

    Ethnicity: Scottish

    Please provide a physical description of yourself.

    I’m built like my Highland Scottish ancestors tall, bulky and muscular with bright green eyes that miss nothing, and a ruddy complexion. Jet black hair that waves around my shoulders. I keep it pulled in a ponytail while I work in my forge.

    Please tell us a little about yourself.

    I’m a blacksmith, bladesmith by trade. I have a forge in Martha’s Vineyard, but chose to move it to Colorado Springs due to magical interference.

    The anvil, hammer and chains were passed down to me from many generations of blacksmiths in my family. As with my ancestors before me, I am able to craft ordinary items for mortals, but also daggers, swords and weapons with magic powers for witch’s or warlocks. Those of course are the most fun and the most dangerous. I vet my clientele very well.

    Who is the significant other in your life?

    Josie. She is a yoga instructor in my estranged sister’s studio.

    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?

    Younger Twin. Summer Dawn Rylie is the older twin.

    Tell us about your favorite toy as a child.

    Magic. We are a powerful family of witches. Summer mastered her magic quickly. I mastered it but seemed to run amuck every chance I got.

    Describe your favorite food and how it’s prepared.

    Pizza with all the toppings.

    Tell us about your best friend.

    My sister was my best friend growing up…until the incident. I’ve forever been trying to reunite the family, but Summer disappeared. I just found her again. She is soon to be wed to a fantastic guy Devlin Sawyer a retired Navy SEAL. He’s now my best friend. But it was a rocky road to get there.

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

    Australia – Land of several species of creatures and variety of climates and cultures.

    Hawaii – Sand, surf, and a romantic setting.

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

    I really can’t think of any place.

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

    Kirkpatrick Macmillan. He was a Scottish blacksmith that is credited with inventing the pedal driven bicycle. Quite a feat back in 1878.

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

    The family of a certain vampire that I dated.

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

    January 1878 to watch Kirpatrick Macmillan create the bicycle. His craftsmanship intrigues me.

    Meet Tena Stetler

    What was your biggest challenge in writing this book?

    Keeping Daylan on track. He tended to go down paths that weren’t part of the story. While I am a panster by nature, some things have to come out in the story. He disagreed. I’d have to pull him back. Even at that, some of those paths did become part of the story.

    Why did you choose this character for the interview today?

    Dayan is a very complex creature. A screw up at the beginning to be sure, but he has a good heart. Eventually, he learns that impulse actions should be curbed until you have all the facts.

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

    The depth of his desire to reunite his family at any cost. He felt deeply responsible for causing the incident that divided his family and nearly took his life.

    Are any sequels planned for this book?

    Possibly. Not sure yet.

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

    Cozy Mystery. I’m working on a series. There is learning curve.

    What would your readers be surprised to learn about you?

    I was a radio DJ for a couple years for a rock station. It was a lot of fun but the pay was lousy.

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

    Charm Me Again – is a character driven tale set in beauty of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. The twists and turns will lead you to the curse discovery, eventually solve the mystery, and warm the cockles of your heart. Not to mention the kick-ass magic weapons he forges and wields in the story.

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

    I write the paranormal romance/mystery tales for my readers. In hopes of sweeping them away from their ordinary, stressful world into a fantasy world they’ll enjoy for a few hours. I am so grateful for their support and enjoyment of my books. Thank you all so MUCH!

    Know the Heroine from Fire and Amulet by Helen Henderson @history2write #RLFblog #ParanormalRomance #Dragons

    Know the Heroine from Fire and Amulet by Helen Henderson @history2write #RLFblog #ParanormalRomance #DragonsAlone since he cracked his shell, Trelleir longs for companionship. In the new fantasy, Fire and Amulet by Helen Henderson, he learns having a slayer as a friend is dangerous when you’re a dragon.

    Helen, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Fire and Amulet.

    Fire and Amulet by Helen Henderson

    Genre Fantasy, Paranormal

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG

    Trelleir is a true dragon whose magic allows him to take on human form. The last of his kind, he longs for companionship. However, his only friend is not only a human female, but a slayer. Sworn to kill all dragons, including him.

    Summoned by the village council, Deneas is sent on a quest to kill any and all dragons, and cannot return without proof of her success. Finding the mythical creature and avoiding its deadly talons and fire are not her only problems. Another slayer follows with orders to kill her. As she retraces her slain mother’s footsteps, Deneas learns the world is not what it seems.

    Know the Heroine from Fire and Amulet

    Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.

    It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?

    She takes her weapons into the garden behind the house. Slow twirls with the staff start her practice routine, which then changes to figure eights. Slowly, then building speed, she’ll go through an intricate series of moves. The physical and mental effort not only tones her muscles and builds strenght, it also return body and soul to a calmer state.

    What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?

    Impulse buying is not something Deneas would be familiar with. Most things in her world are made by the village residents and obtained by barter or gifting. Any coins she obtains are confiscated by the head slayer. That said, if she had the opportunity to purchase something other than supplies for the trail, she would add sweet baked treats to the pack or some of the green oblong fruit baked into treats or eaten in segments.

    Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.

    A tunic that fell below her hips starts her wardrobe. Either short or long pants, depending on what activity she contemplated, is also part of the ensemble. Adding a headcloth completes the usual desert garb for when she goes outside the village wall. Ankle-high eather boots provides protection against the heat of the sand or sharp stones. She made leather sandals to wear around town.

    Does she know how to fix things?

    Not only did Trelleir impart some of his scholarly knowledge to Deneas, her association with the town blackmiths provided her with skills other than that provided by her survival training. Replacing a wagon wheel or repairing horse tack are among the things she can fix. While it is not in the true definition of fixing something, she is a master at creating fire.

    How does she act around children she doesn’t know?

    Deneas shows kindness and patience. When she and Trelleir rescued a small child from kidnappers, Deneas worked to reassure the child with a soft tone and kneeling to be at the child’s level. Rest breaks unneeded by the adults were taken to allow the child to rest. In a show of friendship, Deneas made a staff appropriate to the child’s size to use as a walking stick – and as a weapon.

    What is she like first thing in the morning?

    Used to beginning her day with the dawning, Deneas is mentally alert in the morning. A leonine stretch eases muscles abused by battle or a long night of physical work. Although she has broken her fast with nothing but a bowl of water, a cup of brewed atok leaves does help provide energy for the day.

    How does she act around people who don’t know what she is?

    Fading into the background and not making herself the center of attention is Deneas’ preferred manner when in a crowd. However, when needed, she will reveal herself as a slayer and take charge of the situation.

    How does she handle things when in a “proper” social situation?

    Deneas falls back onto habit and the formal responses drilled into her during her slayer training. Even as she stood before the Council of Elders when they sent her out on an impossible quest that was in essence a death sentence, she latched onto her training. Despite the wall of ice around her soul, she uttered the formal response of parting sufficiently well that the elders didn’t criticize her.

    Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?

    Traders in the caravans that used to pass through Darceth had piercings and tattoos, but not the village residents. Jewelry is a rarity in Deneas’ village. The closest thing she owns is a pair of jeweled hair sticks Trelleir made for her. Little did she know that the red jewels in them were actually dragon tears.

    Carriage or horseback?

    Caldar, leader of the Council of Elders of Darceth, was so uncooperative that trader caravans refused to stop by the town. This resulted in there being only a few wagons in the village and no carriages. Only three horses constituted Darceth’s herd and Caldar wouldn’t let a mere slayer have one. Reality made the choice for Deneas. Her preferred transportation would have to be on foot.

    Thanks for helping us get to know your heroine!

    Read Vive la Resistance the new #paranormalromance by Seelie Kay @SeelieKay #RLFblog #RomanticSuspenseThings get messy in the vampire world in Seelie Kay’s new paranormal romance, Vive la Resistance. A virtual war against the Vampire Coalition seems unwinnable, and to end it, Donovan Trait may have to surrender to the guillotine.

    Seelie, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Vive la Resistance.

    Vive la Resistance by Seelie Kay

    Genre Paranormal Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): Three flames

    Things are gonna get messy…

    An illegal union, a banned birth, a Great Lie, and now, genocide. Vampire lawyer Donovan Trait and his wife, chemically-turned Judge Shirley Magnusen, are battling for their lives and the lives of their children. The Vampire Coalition wants them dead, but now the despots have also decided to expand their net, targeting any vampire whose blood is mixed with human or Were. Half-bloods are already treated like dirt by the Vampire Nation. They have been subjected to centuries of discrimination and cruelty at their hands. As the Coalition embarks on a campaign of terror, destruction, and slaughter, millions of half-bloods emerge from the shadows, ready and willing to reclaim their place in the Vampire Nation. The problem is, war cannot be unleashed out in the open in the human world. Battles must be fought in other ways. Even with an island of highly-skilled vampire nuns and a few Weres and humans at their side, it appears the Traits may be fighting an unwinnable war. Their only option may be to sacrifice their own lives in the hopes of setting all other half-bloods free.

    Why did you write this book?

    At the foundation of this book is the belief that people cannot be afraid to speak out against wrongs, especially those inflicted on others, and they must be willing to fight against evil, even at the risk of death. Soldiers and peacekeepers do that every day. We live in turbulent times. It is so easy to say, “Not my problem,” and turn away. But sometimes, you don’t have that choice. You have to stand up and fight back. Donovan Trait is a vampire lawyer. In the human world, a very respected lawyer. Now he must use his skills to save the half-bloods—vampires whose blood is mixed with human or Were. What began as a Vampire Coalition vendetta against his turned wife, Judge Shirley Magnusen, who gave birth to half-blood twins in violation of her marital agreement, has extended to the elimination of all half-bloods. A campaign of genocide. However, this is not a battle that can occur with boots on the ground in the presence of humans and Weres. It must be fought in the shadows to prevent exposing the vampire world to humans. So it must be fought virtually, and soon it becomes clear that the resistance may be winning battles, but the Vampire Coalition will never concede the war. The final battle must occur in person. Sacrifices will be made, lives will be lost, and the vampire world will be shattered. But the real question is, what will emerge from the ashes? Vive la Resistance (Long Live the Resistance)!

    What is your favorite genre to read?

    Suspense/thrillers

    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?

    Lt. Eve Dallas, from J.D. Robb’s “In Death” series.

    What are you working on at the moment?

    A contemporary/paranormal romance tentatively titled, “In the Midst of Angels.”

    What books will we see from you in coming months?

    In addition to “Angels,” I am working on a Thanksgiving romance that revolves around a neighborhood’s “pet” turkey!

    Passionate Destiny by Dee S Knight

    Genre Contemporary paranormal erotic romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): X

    Dr. Margaret Amis-Hollings, professor of women’s studies at a small New Jersey college, is a woman who confidently knows who she is and what she expects of life. Until she loses her teaching position, and her well-ordered life gets turned upside down. Then, in a subtle stroke of whimsy, fate tosses her a gift in an historic home and property in Virginia.

    Harboring visions of Gone with the Wind, she determines to use River Peace as a temporary reprieve from her troubles. However, images of Tara quickly evaporate when she arrives to discover the reality of her inheritance.

    River Peace has history, grace and style going for it. After only one night, Margaret discovers that it also has a ghost. She’s visited by a male spirit from the time of the War Between the States, who knows how to make a woman feel special. And very loved.

    Aaron Belton meets Margaret when she first arrives in Virginia. He’s renowned for historic renovations on a multitude of properties, but he’s got a special place in his heart for River Peace. He and his family believe the property always should have belonged to them. In fact, Aaron will do almost anything to make that happen. When his passion for the house changes to a passion for the house’s owner, Aaron’s as surprised as anyone. Can he gain both, the woman and the house? To do so, he’ll have to face a spectral being.

    And his own destiny.

    What’s your favorite down-home family style meal?

    For this, I have to admit to loving food. I’m not one of those people who eat to live, I enjoy a good meal. My family and (lucky me!) hubby’s family always thought a meal was the way to entertain others and to celebrate being together. So you see why it’s hard to choose my favorite meal. My dad used to grill fish on an outdoor hibachi and make hush puppies. We’d pile up our paper plates and eat with our fingers on the screened-in porch (Virginia + mosquitoes = UGH!). My mother-in-law fried the best chicken and we’d eat in the dining room wearing our Sunday best clothes with her wedding crystal and china and sterling silverware. But (and now I’m getting to it) I think my favorite down-home meal is grilled (or even fried) pork chops, with sweet potatoes and cheesy broccoli. Yum!

    What is your go-to meal when you dine out?

    Cheeseburgers. It has always been so. When I was little, a friend of my grandmothers took us to Delmonico’s in San Francisco. I asked for a cheeseburger. My grandmother was appalled, and her friend just laughed. (I got a cheeseburger.) Nowadays, I might jack it up a bit with mushrooms and Swiss or with bacon, but even without all the extras, my choice is the same.

    Who is your “book boyfriend” (that hottie you read about and drool over)?

    Jamie Fraser from Outlander. Is there another man who could pull you through time? I don’t think so.

    Tell us about your favorite toy as a child.

    I had a stuffed monkey as a young child. It had plastic face and a strap of elastic on its head that I used to bounce it over and over. And over. I dragged the darn thing everywhere I went. I’m sure Mom was sick of it by the time I outgrew it, but when we went through her things last year when she died, that stupid monkey was tucked away safely with her belongings.

    When you read for pleasure, what kind of books do you choose?

    I will read most anything. I love courtroom dramas and thrillers. Romantic suspense is great. This will make me sound shallow, but I don’t often read non-fiction, though what I do read of it I’ve really liked. Usually historical or something about exploring. But the most I read is romance, of one form or another.

    Read Wolf Meets His Fate the new #ParanormalRomance by NJ Walters @njwaltersauthor #RLFblog #RomanceBooks

    Jesse Broussard is on the run for her life when she crosses paths with Aaron LaForge. Now it's not only her life at stake it's also her heart. Read Wolf Meets His Fate by NJ Walters—the exciting next book in the Salvation Pack: The Next Generation series.

    NJ, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I'm Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Wolf Meets His Fate.

    Wolf Meets His Fate by NJ Walters

    Genre paranormal romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Orphaned at birth, Jesse is raised in the Louisiana swamp by powerful witch Lottie Broussard. Hated by her father and shunned by the pack that should be hers, she is forced to run for her life after Lottie's death.

    Searching for his life's purpose, Aaron LaForge has left his pack and is living on a farm in West Virginia.

    When their paths cross in a local bar, he sees it as fate. At first, he only wants to help but quickly realizes she's his mate. Jesse isn't ready or willing to trust anyone—let alone a male wolf. But Aaron is as stubborn as he is convincing. As their relationship heats up, the dangers around them mount. Can their love survive their fight to stay alive?

    Why did you write this book?

    The Salvation Pack: The Next Generation series has been a labor of love. It's hard to believe I first met the Salvation Pack wolves a decade ago. After the original Salvation Pack series ended after nine books, I thought I was done. I was wrong. I couldn't stop thinking about the children of the original pack members. What would their lives be like when they grew up? Who would they become? Since readers kept asking the same questions, I dove into the Next Generation series.

    What is your favorite genre to read?

    Romance, of course. Whatever mood I'm in, there's always a book to suit. There are so many sub-genres to choose from. I love suspense, contemporary, historical, contemporary, and not surprisingly, paranormal. There really is something for everyone.

    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?

    It's impossible to pin it down to a single one. I could list dozens. There are so many amazing characters out there. So many incredible writers. One of my favorites is Rhage from J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series. I do love a wounded hero with a huge heart.

    What are you working on at the moment?

    I'm currently working on the fifth book in the Salvation Pack: The Next Generation series—Wolf in the Night.

    What books will we see from you in coming months?

    Wolf in the Night will be out this year, for sure. I have two more books contracted for my Forgotten Brotherhood series, but I have no dates from my publisher yet.
