    About the Book

    Title Trailing Kaiwulf
    Genre science fiction romance
    Author Kayelle Allen
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
    Travel to a godforsaken planet on the outskirts of space. Check.
    Hold intrusive military goons at bay. Check. Find an invisible man in a different
    dimension. Check. Finish out the vacation TRAIL yanked you back from to do it? Easier
    said than done. Yanked back from their first vacation in ages, Jee and Dane get
    handed a top priority mission. The pay is better than they’ve earned before as agents
    for the Trace, Rescue, and Identification League. After this, they might not need
    jobs. They’re the best there is, and the item, person, or secret hasn’t been invented
    that these two can’t recover. Until now. After all, how do you find an invisible
    man in another dimension? The archaeologist in charge can’t afford this fee, and
    neither can the military. So the real question is who — or what — is behind the
    request to trail Kaiwulf?

    Lady of the Knight
    by MJ Schiller 

    This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces
    the story.

    About the Author

    M.J. Schiller is a lunch lady/romance-romantic suspense writer.
    She enjoys writing novels whose characters include rock stars, desert princes, teachers,
    futuristic Knights, construction workers, cops, and a wide variety of others. In
    her mind everybody has a romance. She is the mother of a twenty-year-old and three
    eighteen-year-olds. That’s right, triplets! So having recently taught four children
    to drive, she likes to escape from life on occasion by pretending to be a rock star
    at karaoke. Uhh…you won’t be seeing her name on any record labels soon.

    Interview with M.J. Schiller

    Why did you write this
    book?
    The first book in the series, Leap Into The Knight, was inspired
    by a reoccurring dream. After I finished writing it, I realized the story wasn’t
    over…
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    Romance in pretty much any form, but I prefer contemporary or
    romantic suspense.
    Who is your favorite character
    from fiction (not including your own)?
    You can’t make me choose between R.T. Wolfe’s Reed men from the
    Black Creek Burning Series! First, there was Nathan. I fell in love with him and
    didn’t think I’d like Andy’s story, but I did. And then Duncan in the third book
    turned out to possibly be the hottest of them all!
    What are you working on
    at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    The third book in the Romantic Knight Trilogy is on my laptop
    but next up is a contemporary romance titled “Blackout.” It is part of
    my Real Romance Collection and follows the story of Faith and Max…and Eli. Uh-oh!
    Yes, Faith and Eli are brought together by a blackout, and ripped apart by a second
    blackout. Max steps up to fill the void, but then Eli returns! Yeah, it’s quite
    a mess I get these three characters in. I hope it is a story that will touch you
    and make you dream about alternate endings!
    Please tell us about your
    latest book.

    unclear.
    When hearts are pulled in separate directions, each painful decision
    they make could affect them all. Join us for another Romantic Knight!

    Character Sketch: Sir Darius Lee | Leap Into The Knight @mjschiller #RLFblog #SFR

    Leap Into the Knight
    by MJ Schiller 
    M.J. Schiller shares details about the creation of Sir Darius
    Lee in the book Leap Into The Knight.
    Title Leap Into The Knight
    Genre sci-fi romance
    Author M.J. Schiller
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
    Sir Darius Lee is a Knight of the High Order.
    But when Darius discovers a stranger in his room in the middle
    of the night, and the intruder turns out to be a beautiful woman, he begins to question
    how he is meant to live his life.
    Princess Megan of Bethyea is being held captive.
    But when two knights help her to escape and bring her back to
    her home planet, she finds the home she knew no longer exists.
    When The Council of Twelve questions Darius about his relationship
    with Maggie, she tries to flee from The Academy of the High Order to prevent him
    from losing his knighthood.
    Will Darius and Orion find Maggie before she leaves Albion? And
    if they do, how can they face the decision of The Council? And what about the feelings
    Orion has developed for the princess?

    Introducing Sir Darius Lee

    Name: Sir Darius Lee
    Age: 26
    Gender: M
    Birthplace: Albion
    Profession: Knight of the High Order
    Ethnicity/Species (if not human): human
    Describe his/her body build, skin tone, height and weight. Include
    any unique features such as dimples, freckles, or scars: Six-foot-four, lean, muscular,
    fair skinned, long, brown hair that he often pulls back and secures with a strip
    of leather. Strong features, cheek bones, jaw, nose.
    Who is the significant other in your character’s life?
    Princess Megan of Bethyea
    How does your hero dress?
    Simply. Browns that are able to act as camouflage if necessary.
    A loose fitting shirt for mobility and sturdy travel cloak that can also serve as
    a blanket or pillow.
    If you could only hear
    this character’s voice (but not see him) what characteristic would identify him?
    He has a deep, soothing voice. Confident and calm.
    Is the character book-smart,
    self-taught, widely-experienced?
    All of the above. He studied at the Academy, but has learned
    much through his travels throughout the galaxy.
    Does he scrape by, live comfortably, live extravagantly?
    Knights are taught to live simply, but he is also comfortable
    in extravagant surroundings, often having to deal with diplomats and high-ranking
    officials.
    What is your character’s
    viewpoint on wealth?
    It is of little consequence.
    On what special skills
    does your character rely?
    His wit. His fighting skills. His steady moral compass.
    What is your character’s family like?
    He remembers very little about his family as he was dropped off
    at the Academy at a very young age.
    How do others perceive
    your character based upon looks, and is this assumption accurate?
    Because he is extremely tall, he might be seen as imposing. But,
    while he can be a fierce fighter, he is really a kind and gentle man who is fair
    and understanding.
    Does your character care
    about what others assume about him?
    To a degree. He would not want people to be intimidated by him…unless
    the situation warranted it.
    Can your hero keep a secret
    (why or why not)?
    As a Knight of the High Order he often has to keep information
    secret due to the nature of his missions. Besides, he would feel no need to gossip.
    He is mostly a quiet man.
    What inner doubt causes
    your character the most difficulty?
    He really has no inner doubts until he meets Maggie. His feelings
    for her confuse him at the beginning, but once he has come to terms with them, he
    is as resolute in his love for her as he has been about anything in his life.
    When (if) he lies or is
    upset, what gives him away?
    It is very easy to tell when he is upset because that inner calm
    that usually exudes from him is missing.

    About Your Writer

    To honor the person who chose to share your story, please answer the following
    questions.

    Why do you think your
    writer chose to write about you?
    She has a fascination for space travel and the concept of being
    a knight.
    What do you wish your
    writer had not told others about you?
    I really have nothing that I an unwilling to share about myself.
    What other character from
    your book do you think your writer should write a book about, and why?
    I think Amar would be a fascinating topic because he likes to
    live in the grey areas of life, skimming just along the borderline of what is legal
    and what is not.
    Why do you think your
    writer loves to write?
    Hmm…I’m guessing that writing could be a soothing activity. I
    seldom have time for it myself.
    Is there anything you’d
    like to say to your writer?
    I’d like to hear more stories about knights and how they handle
    the unusual circumstances that come their way.

    5 Easy Questions MJ Schiller author of Leap into the Knight @mjschiller #RLFblog #ScifiRom

    Leap into the Knight 
    5 Easy Questions is an interview is designed to be quick, easy,
    and fun. Today’s guest is MJ Schiller.
    What is your go-to meal to order when you dine out? Your favorite
    “I know it will hit the spot” item.
    Ha! Love this! My kids
    always make fun of me because I will always order chicken quesadillas if they are
    on the menu.
    What were you like when you were in school?
    Yikes! I was the nerdy
    bookworm up until high school. Then I became a “popular” girl because
    hung out with some people high in social status. Someone once told me they expected
    me to be a snob and were surprised I was nice. They based this assumption on a particular
    jacket I wore with what they believed to be a designer name on the lining. I then
    informed them that I bought that jacket saving money I earned mowing lawns and vacuuming
    houses and it wasn’t a major designer name, just a Target brand name. It
    was one sweet jacket though. Corduroy, with patches on the elbows…
    Would you rather stay inside and watch snow falling, or get
    out in it and build a snowman?
    Ooh! Stay inside! Stay
    inside and make everyone else hot chocolate. I do occasionally like playing in the
    snow, but it’s like an every five year kind of thing. ;)
    What is your favorite quote?
    Winston Churchill~ “Never,
    never, never give up.” Or “You are unrepeatable. There is a magic about
    you that is all your own…” –D.M. Dellinger
    Or “All right, they’re
    on our left, they’re on our right, they’re in front of us, they’re behind us…they
    can’t get away this time.” –Louis B. “Chesty” Puller, Lt. Gen., USMC
    Just one more, I swear:
    “The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone
    said to themselves, ‘You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but
    I’m just not close enough to get the job done.'” I’m a bit twisted.
    If the hero of your latest book called you on the phone, what
    would be a perfect ringtone for him?
    “Oh, What A Night”
    by The Four Seasons because he’s a Knight of the High Order!
