5 Easy Questions: Kelley Heckart author The Bear Goddess @CelticChick #RLFblog #Fantasy
5 Easy Questions is an interview is designed to be quick,
easy, and fun. Today’s guest is Kelley Heckart.What were you like when
you were in school?I was quiet and shy. My teachers wrote on my report cards that
I needed to speak up more in class.What is your favorite
quote?“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks
of changing himself.” Leo TolstoyWhat was your favorite
book as a child?I started reading at age 4 so I don’t remember what I liked then,
but I do remember when I was a little older I liked the Nancy Drew series. I do
remember a favorite book as a pre-teen: Where the Red Fern Grows. I also liked The
Outsiders.What was the last movie
you watched (home or theater)?Divergent. I liked it because there was a strong female heroine
who wasn’t afraid to fight back.If the hero of your latest
book called you on the phone, what would be a perfect ringtone for him?My latest hero is a centaur shifter so I guess it would be a
song about horses. Wild Horses by the Rolling Stones would be his ringtone. I love
that song.About the Book

Interview: Jami Gray author of Shadow’s Moon @JamiGrayAuthor #RLFblog #paranormalromance
Shadow’s Moon Title Shadow’s MoonGenre Paranormal Romance, Urban FantasyAuthor Jami GrayBook heat level (based on movie ratings): RInterview with Jami Gray
Why did you write this book?This is the third installment in my Urban Fantasy series, The
Kyn Kronicles. While the first two books follow Raine McCord and Gavin Durand and
introduce the reader into the shadowy world around us, for this book, I’ve loved
Xander since she popped up in the first book, and her relationship with Warrick
held too many layers to ignore. Plus, my critique partners threw down a challenge—”Write
a romance, we dare you.” I hemmed and hawed, only to get “We triple dog
dare you.” Sigh, who’s going to turn that down?What is your favorite genre to read?I’m a huge reader, so my taste are wide, but my favorites are
Urban Fantasy and Military influenced romantic suspense.What is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own characters)?Oh, that’s a hard one. I first fell in love with Anita Blake
in Circus of the Damned by Laurell Hamilton, but have since gone on to develop serious
feelings for Mercy Thompson of Patricia Briggs’ series, Kate Daniels from Ilona
Andrew’s series, and Joanne Walker from C.E. Murphy’s Walker Papers series. Of course,
not to leave out the male half of the fiction world, I love to spend quality time
with Harry Dresden from Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files. ((wiggles eyebrows))Do you enjoy films and/or TV shows? Which are your favorites?I live in a household swimming in testosterone, so films are
a great way to spend time with my boys—wild explosions, furious car chases, we’re
an action flick family all the way. However, I’m a huge devotee to both the ID channel
and the History Channel. Favorite series right now: The Blacklist. Favorite Movie:
right now the boys and I are waiting for Guardians of the Galaxy, but me and the
other half are looking forward to Sin
City: A Dame To Kill For.What are you working on at the moment, and what are we likely to see from you in the coming months?I’m just about to begin the second book in my upcoming new Paranormal
Romantic Suspense series, which spins together a mixed team of ex-military psychics,
some serious chases, shootouts, and various other mayhem, all while take out the
baddies of the world. The first book in the PSY-IV Teams (think Cypher), Hunted
By The Past, will be coming out August 26th.Right behind that book, will be the fourth book in the Kyn Kronicles,
Shadow’s Curse, which should hit shelves Oct/Nov 2014.Please tell us about your latest book.Without spoilers, Shadow’s Moon follows Xander Cade, the female
Tracker for the Northwest Motoki wolf pack and
her unexpected bond with her alpha, Warrick Vidis. The two have to find their way
as their relationship shifts under them, even as someone is threatening their pack.
If they can’t find their way to work together, more than them will end up paying
a deadly price.Even a wild heart can be broken…A blonde, a brunette and a monster walk into a bar and all hell
breaks loose.It should have been the start of a bad joke, but days from a
full moon Xander Cade, Tracker for the Northwest Motoki Pack, finds nothing funny
about confronting an enraged Shifter in a crowded Portland nightclub filled with unsuspecting humans.
The resulting carnage frays an already thin veil of secrecy shielding the supernatural
Kyn community from public scrutiny, and ensures she can’t escape the one man she’s
been determined to avoid, her Alpha and mate, Warrick Vidis. Dominating, protective
and compelling, Warrick threatens her individuality like no other.As the Northwest Alpha wolf, compromise isn’t in Warrick Vidis’s
vocabulary, but when his reluctant mate, Xander Cade, refuses to leave off the hunt
for a killer, he has no qualms using whoever or whatever necessary to protect her
or his pack. A series of unusual deaths involving lone wolves, along with anonymous
threats against him and his Pack, begin to jeopardize his normal steely control.
Add in Xander’s continual reluctance to fully accept their Soul bond, and the line
between intellect and instinct begins to blur, leaving him wondering if one woman’s
love and acceptance will be enough to save both man and wolf.As the danger escalates, threatening not just their Pack but
those closest to them, Warrick and Xander must find a way to trust each other and
accept their rare bond or risk losing everything-their pack, their friends and each
other.Buy This BookPublisher http://blackopalbooks.com/shop-our-store/blackopalstore/paranormal-romance/shadows-moonAmazon http://amzn.com/B00K8AZZESBarnes and Noble http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/shadows-moon-the-kyn-kronicles-book-3-jami-gray/1119462166?ean=2940149437719ARe https://www.allromanceebooks.com/product-shadow039smoonthekynkroniclesbook3-1507186-140.htmlKobo http://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/ebook/shadow-s-moonSmashwords https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/435674

How to Relax on a Deserted Island When Killers Are After You @TheGoddessNaomi #RLFblog #ParanormalRomance
Her Wild Protector There you are, on a tropical island, with a guy who practically
kidnapped you. He says he has a plan to protect you, and so far he’s done a good
job of keeping you safe from two men, one who turns into a cheetah and another who
becomes a panther. Oh, and both of them tried to kill you. This guy is sexy as hell
and the more you learn about him, the more you like him, but that doesn’t change
the fact that he’s irritatingly bossy. Throw in the minor problem that there are
killers after you and you have a pretty good reason to be off-the-charts stressed
out.How about a session of Tai Chi? This non-aggressive form of martial
art has many benefits, including improved posture, better flexibility and what you
so desperately need, stress reduction. So when the hot guy (who looks even hotter
when he’s doing Tai Chi) suggests you join him in his workout, you agree. And surprise!
After forty minutes of moving through the forms, you’re calmer than you have been
for days.Tai Chi is a great form of exercise. I’ve done it a few times
and wanted to learn a bit more for the scene in Her Wild Protector, where Marshall
and Tara engage in this activity. I thoroughly enjoyed doing the research. Here
are a few websites to check out if you want to see it in action:A nice video on YouTube, showing a gold medal champion do The
24 Form: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejB-jBtZqqUA very nicely put together video of a regular guy doing a Tai
Chi warm up. At least I’m assuming he’s a regular guy. He could actually be a marital
art master!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq75jyB28MEWatch Jet Li rock his Tai Chi in this movie cliphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD9yVyj2WWEHow about you? What’s your favorite way to reduce stress?About the Book
Book Title: Her Wild ProtectorSince waking up on the floor of her apartment after an electrical
shock, Tara has felt…different. Colors a little
off. Shadows where they shouldn’t be. But hot guys glowing blue light and a cheetah
drinking a cup of coffee? That’s not something you see every day. And why doesn’t
anyone else seem to notice?The pillar of blue light is Marshall, a Metamorph—a human who
can change at will into an animal or energy form. His human form is damn fine-looking,
but that doesn’t mean he isn’t crazy, with his stories about belonging to a secret
government agency and rogue Metamorphs trying to kill her. Plus he wears sunglasses
indoors—who still does that? But when there’s a panther scratching at her door,
she has no choice but to trust Marshall,
even if it means her life will never be the same.Buy This Book
