Why did you write this
book?I only do what the voices in my head tell me to. ;) Honestly,
I was in bed one night and a character name popped into my head. Sounds cheesy,
but it was Parker Peters. Yup – Spiderman in reverse. I don’t know why, but I was
determined to write something around that. I was in the middle of another project
at the time, but once I started – it just ran itself. It’s by far the most action
I’ve written and I loved the way it all fell together. I loved the mystery of Parker.
Just like his name came to me with no clue who he was, he was just “there”
and I wasn’t sure who he would turn into. Hands down, he’s my favorite male MC to
date!What is your favorite
genre to read?I like a lot of suspense. I love the “can’t wait to turn
the page” feeling.What is your favorite character from fiction (not including your
own characters)?For many years now, it has been Lucas Davenport – John Sandford’s
main character in his Prey series.Do you enjoy films and/or
TV shows? Which are your favorites?We cancelled TV almost 10 years ago. We’re not reality fans and
it seemed that’s all that was on. We are big movie people, though. We’ve gotten
into a few TV shows that we found on Netflix. Currently we’re catching up on Leverage
and Castle. With my middle grade books, fun fantasies are also favorite. Once Upon
a Time and Grimm are on the list as well.What are you working on
at the moment, and what are we likely to see from you in the coming months?Like with my characters running the show, I let my fans bully
me. I received an awesome e-mail about someone loving my novel: “Money Didn’t
Buy Her Love”. She was hoping for a sequel so I wrote it. I was glad someone
else’s mind went where mine had gone with a secondary character. I’m on the last
edits then it will be off to my editor. Same for “I Got Your Back, Hailey”.
My 1st two 5-star reviews mentioned wanting more so I am working on that
as well. I love to follow a series. I hope I can keep the intensity up with Hailey
and her crew and keep them coming. I do still have a few older novels that are easier
romance reads on my laptop and the last few of my middle grade series. Eventually
they will need to be beaten into shape and get out there as well. I always have
a few pots on the fire.Please tell us about your
latest book.I Got Your Back, Hailey is full of twists and turns and surprises.
Parker and Hailey meet by chance, but he discovers she’s who he’d been searching
for. They find out that they share a connection to the man that wants her dead.
Together they try to find ways to prove his guilt while trying to stay alive.A jailbreak of some needed muscle, a sassy young pilot, a sexy
stewardess, and a computer geek with a Gilligan’s Island fetish make up my favorite
list of secondary characters ever!I love our summer road trips. Austin, Texas
was last summer’s destination for a convention. It made for a great scene here,
as well as Las Vegas
a few years prior. Hailey’s distaste for California
traffic stems from my experience a few years back as well. LOL. Guess if I’m going
to complete the sequel, I’ll need to road trip again. JWhen Hailey stumbles upon a backpack full of money on her nightly
jog, she is forced to flee the security of her secret identity.Although the sudden appearance of a man that had been flirting
with her earlier seems odd, Hailey accepts Parker’s help in getting the heavy bag
home. Within moments of arriving, they escape under gunfire. The men it was intended
for want it back, and Hailey has now made herself a target.Safe in a motel room, the two of them discover the truth: although
their meeting was an accident, Parker had been involved in the bag’s drop and she
had been his assignment all along. Now, getting Hailey away safely is Parker’s new
mission. Together they struggle to put together the pieces of Hailey’s past and
discover that they have more in common than they thought.Being on the run, keeping Hailey’s family safe, and searching
for clues to put away the man that wants her dead are hard enough. Falling in love
in the middle of it all was the last thing either one of them expected.Author Bio
Wife, Mother, Writer, Lunatic. Not necessarily in that order.“There is a fine line between genius and crazy… I like
to use that line as a jump rope!”June, who prefers to go by Bug, was born in Philadelphia
but moved to Maui, Hawaii when she was four. She met her “Prince
Charming” on Kauai and is currently living “Happily Ever After” in
a small town in Minnesota.Her son and daughter are her greatest accomplishments. She takes

Tell us about yourself,
please.Hi everyone,My name is Amber Harrison. I’m the Winston family keeper.Right, and what’s that you’re probably asking?It means that I’m guided by my family ancestors which are now
my spiritual guides. They assigned me task that will help me grow and will help
different members of my family. I’m very happy in my job, most of the time because
I’m surrounded by very supportive people.But this time, the family spirits have assigned me one heck of
a task. I have to get my grandmother’s ghost to let go and pass over into heaven.Do you know how hard that is?Especially with a ghost riddled with guilt.Add in, I’m in love with an incredible guy who has no idea what
I’m going through. Then you’ll wonder why I just don’t pack up my bags, head back
to college, and sunny California.
Oh, yeah, my parents, they want to rule my life.Oh, but it’s fun being me…not.What is it that you want,
but cannot have? Authors call this the conflict of the story.To let go of the guilt I have of accidentally killing my grandfather.
I loved him so much, then he died and left me all alone.What’s your internal limitation?
Meaning, what is it about you that makes it so you cannot do what it is you need
to do during this story?I have to let go of the one man, I truly love to find the confidence
to convince my grandmother to let go of her life as a ghost.What inner doubt causes
you the most difficulty?Failing the family that loves me.Tell us about your significant
other, that person who makes living worthwhile.Carter Miller is everything a girl could want tall, dark, and
handsome with the most incredible bedroom-brown eyes. He can look at you and you
want to melt. He works in construction and is remodeling the kitchen in Winston
Manor. His only problem is he doesn’t understand my connection to the spiritual
world.What would that person
say about you?He believes I’m beautiful. Even if I’ve been told by my mother,
I could use to lose a few pounds. With blonde hair and blue eyes, I’m attractive
and try to be a nice person. Though, his sister calls me a bimbo because I consume
a great deal of her brother’s time. Yeah, I can’t help if he likes being with me.What is your family like?With a family of spirits surround me, I have more characters
around me than I can shake a stick at (old says are repeated regularly at my house.)
They are supportive as well as challenging.My best friend, Mattie Winston Miller is the best and helps me
with my job. She’s the old family keeper and understands the challenges I face.As for my parents, they are in California. We don’t exactly get along, and I’m
much happier living miles and miles away from them.Are you happy with the
way your story ended? Why or why not?Yes, I met the task assigned to me by Jonathan, the head of the
family spirits and I am committed to living the rest of my life with the man I love.Granted, I still have challenges to face but I know I can meet
them with the help of the family spirits and my friends.About the Writer

do.Creates heartwarming stories about women, their struggles, successes,
hopes, and dreams. Romances that push the limit and touch your heart.Why did you choose to

world. Her challenges stretch the limit of what we might achieve if we were given
a task by spirit.When you wrote about this
character, what made you the most happy? What made you the most sad?Happy for her to find the strength to let go of the pain of the

next book and will discover that having someone to love can make a world of difference
in your outlook on life.Is there anything you’d
like to say to your readers?Thank you, I am always amazed by my readers and their understanding
of my stories.Author Bio
Growing up, I didn’t know what I wanted to be. Once when someone
asked me about my dream job, I said I wanted to be a pretender.That’s why writing is the perfect job for me, because it allows
me the flexablity to become a new person in every book. In truth, I went through
a number of different jobs, before I decided to be a writer. I enjoy incorporating
the heartaches, headaches and fun of being a mother into my books.Currently, I’m working on a series about four executive wives.
They combine elements of women fiction with the passion of romance. The first three
books are available, Marketing Exec’s Widow, IT Exec’s Baby, and CFO’s Affair. The
last book CEO Widow’s Decision will be out by the end of 2014.Also, I have two books out in my Family Tree series…Summer’s
Growth and Fallen Leaves. (Paranormal Romantic Suspense)When not writing, I enjoy spending time with my family and traveling
around the country. I haven’t hit every state yet, but hoping to some day.Read the first chapter of any of my books by visiting my website.Author Social Media

Interview with Loc Glin, author of Unleashing the Woman Within @LocGlin #RLFblog
Unleashing the Woman Within About the Book
Title Unleashing the Woman Within The Mystic Museum
Series 3Genre Erotic Romance, BDSM, Paranormal Elements.Author Loc GlinBook heat level (based on movie ratings): RBuy This Book
Publisher http://www.bookstrand.com/loc-glinAmazon UK http://www.amazon.co.uk/-/e/B008D69BBWBarnes and Noble http://www.barnesandnoble.com/c/loc-glinInterview with Loc Glin
Why did you write this
book?This is the 3rd book in a series. I read the Fifty Shades of
Grey series, and decided to try my hand at writing BDSM. I was surprised, no more
like flabbergasted, by all the rules that the people practicing that sexual lifestyle
abide by.What is your favorite
genre to read?I love romance and fantasy. When I’m writing I try to combine
the two.What is your favorite character from fiction (not including your
own characters)?Bilbo Baggins ranks pretty high up on my list of memorable characters.
He ventured outside of his comfort zone and changed the world.Do you enjoy films and/or
TV shows? Which are your favorites?Yes, I like watching movies and TV. My current TV show favorites?
Hmm, there’s True Blood, Grim, Sleepy Hallow, Elementary, Blue Bloods, Castle. There’s
more but I’ll stop there. I won’t even start on my past, canceled, favorites. That
list is much longer. I’ve been watching TV for quite some time now.What are you working on
at the moment, and what are we likely to see from you in the coming months?I’m continuing to work on my Mystic Museum Series. To adequately
answer this question I will have to fill you in on the premise of The Mystic Museum
Series. Minerva’s Mystic Museum is located in New York City. Every full moon the “powers
that be” choose someone from the visitors of the museum. This someone, known
as the mystic walker, will be the hero/heroine of the novel. The “powers”
select someone they feel deserves a second chance, or just a chance to follow their
destiny. Minerva, the curator and caretaker of the museum meets the chosen mystic
walker. Through the magic that has been entrusted to her, Minerva supplies them
with the opportunity to change their lives.Each book in the series is vastly different from the others.
The 1st book, called Howling at the Moon, is a ménage involving shape shifting wolves.
The 2nd is called Dulce Isle. Dulce Isle is a ménage which explores a newly widowed
man’s changing sexual inclinations. The 3rd novel is called Unleashing the Woman
Within. It contains BDSM (with a warning that it contains forced seduction). The
4th novel, and what will be coming from me in future months, is called End Detour.
End Detour is a story about a hooker, and has hints of interracial relationships.
The 5th is called Undivided Attention, this one involves inter galactic displacement
and a curse. The 6th is called Magic in the Woods. It is a ménage and involves inter-dimensional
travel. There are a few other ideas floating around in my head that I haven’t begun
the creative process on yet. I think I’m going to be busy for awhile.About the Book
Rowena Milestone, corporate executive, has an accomplished career.
Yet one thing eludes her. Try as she might she can’t seem to have an orgasm even
though she likes sex. Her position in the corporate man’s world tends to intimidate
her dates. They perform well enough in bed, but they just don’t push her over the
edge, until she meets Stephen.Stephen Sloan has a secret. He belongs to a very special, no
holds barred, anything goes sex club. He never thought he’d meet anyone like Rowena
there, so he wanted to believe her outrageous story that she didn’t know how she’d
gotten there. When she disappeared without a trace he knew she’d been telling the
truth. Now armed with three pieces of information he is determined to find her.Rowena was devastated when the curator of the museum couldn’t
help. Minerva had said, “If the universe is willing, he will come to you.”
Fat chance she has of that happening.Note: This book contains forced seduction.Author Bio
I live in Little Falls, New Jersey. I am happily divorced, and I’m proud
to be able to say that my ex-husband and I are still on friendly terms. We created
two beautiful twin daughters in our union together. For that we will be forever
grateful to each other.My son in-law is proudly defending our country. Because of that,
I see too little of my grandson. Duty stations are never close enough to home.I share my home with Tiger Lily, the cat I inherited from my
daughters, and the man I consider my soul-mate.I work full time, and write in my spare time. I like to read
and watch TV or movies. I enjoy sitting poolside and swimming. Horseback riding?
Yes, I love it. Unfortunately there aren’t enough hours in the day to do all the
things I like to do, so I choose to write.I’m the first to admit that my life is uneventful, one could
consider it dull. But I’m happy, that’s what matters. Not many people can truly
say that. If more people were happy the world would be a better place.Author Social Media

Lily MacIntyre’s life is offtrack, and she knows exactly how to right it: shed her America’s
sweetheart image in a big way. Getting down and dirty in a limo with rocker Nate

since birth. The only problem? Nate is her brother’s best friend…and he doesn’t

Interview with Kristina Knight
Why did you write this book?
I’ve had a love affair with music all my life. It started with
the Beach Boys (which my mom introduced me to when I hit high school) and then the
pop stars of the late 80s/early 90s (with some hair metal thrown in). Rock stars
fascinate me, so when Nate popped into my head I knew I had to write his story!What is your favorite genre to read?
I read across genres, depending on my mood…but probably 60%
of my reading is contemporary romance. Because who doesn’t love a boy-meets-girl
story?What is your favorite character from fiction (not including your
own characters)?So many! But Samantha Jellicoe, from the Suzanne Enoch ‘Billionaires’
series is right up there at the top. She’s feisty, spunky and just a little bit
broken, but she also has a code and she lives by it. Love that!Do you enjoy films and/or TV shows? Which are your favorites?
Yes, to both! A few of my faves are NCIS, Revenge, any chic-flick
film …and I love the Romancing the Stone movies from the 80s. They’re a little clichéd
and some of the acting is silly…but they’re still so good!What are you working on at the moment, and what are we likely to see from you in the coming months?
I have 2 more rocker books, coming out in a few months with Harlequin
E and I just put the finishing touches on my very first SuperRomance from Harlequin,
which should be out in early 2015. So I’m in a little bit of editing/revisioning
limbo, but in my spare time (HA!!) I’m working on another contemporary about a cowboy
and a masseuse that I’m having so much fun with!Please tell us about your latest book.
Light My Fire is a friends-to-lovers/brother’s best friend book
set in the glamorous Hollywood world. Lily is desperate
to change her image, and she’s had a mad crush on Nate, her brother’s best friend
and a rock star, for years. She thinks he’s the ticket…but she doesn’t count on
falling for him…Lily MacIntyre needs to shed her sitcom teen-queen image if she’s going to carve out a real career in Hollywood. A tabloid-worthy fling with rocker Nate Lansford—her childhood friend and new cohost of a reality talent show—should do it. As long as she can accept that the notorious player will be moving on to the next eager conquest when the season wraps. Long before Nate’s hard-hearted image took hold, he and Lily were each other’s protectors and allies. No one knows him the way she does—and he doesn’t want his messed-up past to muddy up her potential. For once, the bad boy is trying to be good. Not easy when the good girl is getting wicked with him in the back of his limo, and every white-hot kiss proves they can never be “just friends” again…
Kristina Knight

her very own Knight in Shining Cowboy Boots and an abiding love for romance novels.
And just like the characters from her favorite books, she’s living her own happily
ever after.Kristina writes sassy contemporary romance novels; her books
