    Interview with Candace Shaw author of Her Perfect Candidate @Candace_Shaw #RLFblog #historicalromance

    Her Perfect Candidate 
    Title: Her Perfect Candidate (Chasing Love Series)
    Genre: Contemporary Romance/Harlequin Kimani
    Author Name: Candace Shaw
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Why did you write this
    book?
    I wrote Her Perfect Candidate because I wanted to create a hero
    that is even though he’s somewhat of a playboy, he’s not a bad guy. Steven Monroe
    is the epitome an all-around great guy. He’s a millionaire but he doesn’t care about
    that and is quite modest. Instead, uses his position as senator to be active in
    the low-income communities and help others. His pet peeve is people who complain
    about the issues, but don’t do anything to find a solution.
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    My favorite genre to read is romance which includes the sub categories
    of contemporary, historical and urban fantasy. I also enjoy chick lit.
    Do you enjoy films and/or
    TV shows? Which are your favorites?
    I don’t watch a lot of television but when I do I can’t miss
    Scandal, Covert Affairs, Marvel Agents of Shield, Once Upon a Time and Royal Pains.
    I have too many favorite movies to name but I love everything with Elizabeth Taylor
    (favorite movie star) as well as more up-to-date romances and comedies such as The
    Notebook, Love and Basketball, You’ve Got Mail and anything with Denzel Washington.
    What are you working on
    at the moment, and what are we likely to see from you in the coming months?
    Currently, I’m finishing the second book in the Chasing Love
    series, Journey to Seduction, whose heroine is Sydney Chase, Megan’s twin sister
    and Bryce Monroe, Steven’s younger brother. The two have a love/relationship, more
    so on her side, until they take a cross-country trip together to Vegas for motorcycle
    fest. It comes out in February 2015. In the next month or so, I’ll begin writing
    my self-published novel My Kinda Girl which is the last book in the Arrington Family
    Series (check website below for excerpts) and it will be out in Winter 2014. My
    Kinda Girl is about Dr. Sean Arrington, a psychiatrist in his family private medical
    practice. While he’s the most intelligent one out his siblings, he’s also the most
    self-absorbed, arrogant one and playful playboy who has a type of woman he dates.
    He prefers the model-type. Tall, leggy, not-too-bright and dotes on his every word.
    However, he meets his match in Traci and she’s the total opposite of everything
    he thinks he wants. I can’t wait to begin writing the book.
    Please tell us about your
    latest book.
    Megan Chase is career-focused and independent woman who loves
    being single but not because she doesn’t trust men, she simply enjoys her life and
    her main concern is her interior decorating firm. Her family and friends keep setting
    her up on blind dates because they think she’s lonely after a break up from almost
    two years ago. However, she’s not and she’s tired of them. Steven Monroe is a state
    senator who is going to run for the United States senate seat his father
    is retiring from. However, the media views him as a bad boy playboy and his campaign
    team wants him to settle down with one woman before and during the official campaign.
    He keeps running into Megan and they it hit off and decide to date in name only
    to get her family and his campaign team off their backs.
    Co-owner of an up-and-coming interior decorating firm, Megan
    Chase loves being a single woman on the fast track to success. But everything changes
    when a flat tire brings Georgia
    senator Steven Monroe into her life. The sinfully sexy politician needs the right
    woman to clean up his image. And with Megan’s fine eye for detail, she just may
    be the woman for the job.
    Steven’s reputation as a player could cost him his chance at
    a U.S.
    senate seat. But when the cameras catch him and Megan in a kiss that’s all too real,
    it’s not only his future candidacy in jeopardy. As the lines between politics and
    desire begin to blur, how much will he risk to transform their passionate pretense
    into a landslide for love.

    Confessions Of Love 
    Title Confessions Of Love
    Genre Regency Historical Romance
    Author Melissa Blue
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
    London,
    1817
    Lieutenant Jonathan Rycroft is intoxicating. His hands know just
    where to touch her, his lips know just how to trip her pulse, and his body knows
    just how to bring about every forbidden desire Lindsay Dunsfield has ever felt.
    He’s the one man that’s owned her heart… and he shattered it two years ago.
    Returned to London
    on assignment with the War Office, Jonathan’s mission is hindered by a love he cannot
    forget. One scorching kiss reignites the flames of their passion, but he inadvertently

    she ever would have dreamed.
    In a world where Lindsay can trust no one, will she find renewed
    faith in the last place she expected to look?

    Interview with Lieutenant Jonathan Rycroft

    Tell us about yourself,
    please.
    Oh, my, where do I start? My name is Jonathan Rycroft and I’m
    a Lieutenant in His Majesty’s Royal Navy, and I am currently on special assignment
    with the War Office. I joined the navy in part to spite my father, but mostly to
    earn a respectable living to marry the girl I love.
    What is it that you want,
    but cannot have? Authors call this the conflict of the story.
    I want Lindsay Dunsfield. We were childhood sweethearts, you
    see, but now she blames me for the death of her brother. Andrew Dunsfield was my
    best friend and I will do anything to solve his murder and prove myself to Lindsay.
    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?
    For one, I am a bastard. The illegitimate son of the Earl of
    Wayford to be exact. I grew up with my father berating me for my worthlessness whenever
    he got drunk, and I never really knew my mother. She killed herself because she
    couldn’t bear up to the shame of having me. With history like that, it is difficult
    not to believe I’m nothing more than a mistake.
    What’s your external complication?
    In the story world your author created, explain what it is you fear most.
    My investigation with the War Office hinges on finding key documents
    which would prove a very important member of the aristocracy, Lord Harold Grimsby,
    guilty of treason. As a matter of self-defense, I shot and wounded Lord Harold.
    Now I’m in hiding, and unless I find the documents to prove he’s a traitor I’ll
    be hanged or forced to flee the country. Either way I’ll lose Lindsay.
    Tell us about your significant
    other, that person who makes living worthwhile.
    Lindsay is amazing. Beautiful and kind. She is easily the most
    giving person I’ve ever met, and that is probably her best quality as well as her
    greatest downfall.
    What would that person
    say about you?
    I’d like to think she’d say I’m the love of her life, and honorable
    despite every reason not to be.
    What is your family like?
    Despite the horror I already spoke of with my parents, my family
    is not so terrible. I have a half-sister, Felicity, whom I adore, and my step-mother,
    Sarah, was a wonderful woman. She raised me as her own, and I owe any upstanding
    qualities I possess to her.
    What special skills do
    you rely on?
    I am a good fighter. In the navy I was trained to fight in close
    combat situations and am skilled with a knife and saber.
    If someone from your past
    showed up, who would you NOT want it to be, and why?
    My father. He’d probably threaten to have me shipped to America
    once he learned I’d shot a nobleman.
    Are you happy with the
    way your story ended? Why or why not?
    I am very pleased. I have Lindsay at my side, and I solved the
    murder of my best friend. I also have the satisfaction of brining a traitor to justice.

    About the Writer

    You have the length of
    a tweet (140 characters) to describe yourself as a writer. Let’s see what you can
    do.
    Author of fast paced, beautifully written historical romance
    weaved with mystery and suspense.
    Why did you choose to
    write about this character?
    This character actually started out as a secondary character
    in a story I am yet to finish. Jonathan quite literally stole the show and I wound
    up writing him a story instead!
    Was there anything you
    discovered about this character that was a surprise to you?
    My characters never fail to surprise me, and what surprised me
    with Jonathan is how steadfast he was. A man with as much emotional baggage as he’s
    written with would have every right to be closed off and hard-nosed, but I just
    wasn’t able to write him about as anything but kind, open, and honorable.
    Why do you write? And
    how did you get started writing?
    I love history and I love books! I’ve had my own story ideas
    rumbling around in my head for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always had a
    knack for creative writing. My dad as well as several school teachers encouraged
    me to study writing in college, but I chose to pursue nursing in large part for
    it’s practicality. In college at Western
    Michigan University
    a literature professor also encouraged me to write. It wasn’t until my husband bought
    me a laptop computer for Christmas about six years ago that I started putting my
    own stories down in earnest. It is a wonderful escape.
    What do you want to write
    next?
    Currently I am working on another Regency Romance titled SIREN.
    Hopefully my agent will see that by the end of summer! But with four kids at home
    and my job as a nurse it just isn’t that easy to juggle time.
    What other character from
    this book do you want to write about? Care to tell us why?
    The story I never finished, which featured Jonathan as a secondary
    character, was started for his half-sister, Felicity. One of these days I’d like
    to get back to that book.
    Are any sequels planned
    for this book?
    Lindsay has three very entertaining sisters. Sequels are a distinct
    possibility.
    Is there anything you’d
    like to say to your readers?
    Happy Reading!

    Self Publishing-the Pros and Cons by JoAnne Myers @scooterismine #RLFblog #writertips

    Loves, Myths, Monsters 
    The best thing about
    self-publishing is that you are guaranteed to be published, no matter what type
    book you choose to write. Traditional publishers often look for something not
    yet written about, or seldom written about; such as true life alien abductions,
    or what Earth might be like in the year 4000, if humans last that long.
    Self-publishing allows the author
    more leeway with subject matter. The author can tell it like it is; unlike
    traditional publishers who generally follow a code of conduct, for the fear of
    treading on someone’s toes. Traditional publishers always have that fear of
    being sued for libel, whereas self-publishers tend to not care what others
    think.
    With self publishing every detail
    is up to the author. From hiring a professional editor if the self publishing
    author is not prolific in the English language. Editing is expensive, and every
    book, even self publishing needs some editing to help polish the final product.
    Self-publishing does offer editing and marketing services, but for an
    additional price, that can be expensive. All that work is taken care of by a
    traditional publisher, which means less headaches and work for the author.
    When it comes to book covers,
    self-publishing companies usually give the author a selection of artwork to
    choose from. Some of this artwork is free, but some usually cost a few dollars.
    The free artwork is seldom great, and might not coincide with the books
    material. For paid artwork at self-publishing companies, the artwork is
    upgraded and more pleasing to the eye, but is an extra cost, which might for
    some self-publishers, mean an extra dent in their pocketbooks. Traditional
    publishers have their own art department, which means the author is guaranteed
    a terrific book cover, which is included in the contract. Both self-publishing
    and traditional publishing companies, though, usually allow the author to use
    their own artwork if the author chooses too, especially if the book is about
    the author’s family, pet, friends, or profession. Using personal artwork adds a
    touch of personification and genuine sincerity to the book; which is always a
    good selling point.
    What I discovered through Amazon,
    and something they did not tell me in the beginning, is that with them, the
    author must keep a supply of their books at the Amazon warehouse. Amazon is not
    a print on demand (POD) distributor as is Lulu, as I initially believed it to
    be. When it comes to any type of artwork, whether it be books, jewelry, or candles,
    artwork is usually a hard product to sell. If it were easy, all artists and
    authors would be wealthy.
    Lulu on the other hand, is a
    print on demand self publisher. They do not store books, but keep each title
    stored in a queue, at a contracted print on demand printer.
    Also, what I understand is that
    Lulu allows 80% of the royalties to go to the author, and Amazon allows 70%,
    but that percentage is only applicable for books sold to certain countries
    outside of the U.S., such as
    Brazil, Japan, Mexico,
    and India,
    and only for titles enrolled in KDP Select. This in reality means that the
    author receives an average 35% of the sales, and Amazon gets the other 65%.
    An author can struggle with
    locating a traditional publishing company for many reasons. They have written a
    book that only they are interested in; such as their family history. I don’t
    believe most would be interested in reading about someone else’s family tree,
    unless it is as brilliant as the book Roots, was. If a author is struggling
    with locating a traditional publishing company, than self-publishing is for
    them. I for one believe that if a writer has written a book, they should
    continue seeking out the traditional publishing company. This only applies if
    their book is polished and ready for sale. If a book has many graphical errors,
    it will not be taken seriously by a traditional publisher. Getting away with
    graphical errors in a self-published book is possible, but it would be
    disappointing and frustrating to the reader. Whether the book is self-published
    or traditionally published, the final product should be free of errors, and
    entertaining, and pleasing to the eye. In my opinion, when it comes to Lulu
    versus Amazon, Amazon bites the dust. Good luck.

    Meet Fredrick from Just My Type by @SynithiaW #RLFblog #contemporary

    Just My Type 
    Title Just My Type
    Genre Contemporary Romance
    Author Name Synithia Williams
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Janiyah Henderson may be an adult, but her dad doesn’t see it
    that way. Granted, she’s enjoying her post-college life of little-to-no responsibility,
    but when her dad announces at a family meeting that she can’t handle working a
    “real job,” there’s only one thing to do: land a desk job and prove him
    wrong. When her brother’s best friend, Fredrick Jenkins, needs a new assistant,
    she knows she’s the perfect candidate. So what if she’s had a crush on the conservative
    accountant since she was nine? She’s the last woman Freddy would fall for.
    But Fredrick is far from impervious to Janiyah’s charms. Though
    he can’t help but be attracted to her, he knows Janiyah is more interested in eating
    his cereal and teasing him than viewing him as more than the good guy next door.
    When he offers her the job, he can’t imagine her giving up her late mornings and
    colorful outfits for 8:00 a.m. meetings and pantyhose for too long. But as Janiyah
    excels as his employee, he fears he’s in danger of falling hard for a woman he shouldn’t
    care for.
    Pretty soon the attraction they’ve tried to ignore boils to the
    surface. And after Fredrick shows Janiyah the man behind the numbers, she’s ready
    to show him that she’s just the type of woman he needs.

    Interview with Fredrick P. Jenkins

    Tell us about yourself, please.

    I’m an accountant that started my own firm two years ago after the
    firm I worked only wanted to deal with clients perceived to be financially viable
    instead of taking care of the ones who needed the most help. In the two years since
    l left, I’ve made my firm one of the most successful startups in my area.
    On a personal level, I enjoy reading, biographies mostly, watching
    documentaries and weight lifting. Don’t let my hobbies fool you. Many times women
    see the conservative outer appearance and automatically put me in the “good
    guy” or “friend” category. But, believe me, I’m far from the reserved
    good guy when it comes to relationships. It was something I longed to show Janiyah
    for years, but at the same time didn’t want to ruin our friendship.

    What is it that you want, but cannot
    have? Authors call this the conflict of the perceived story.

    I always wanted a nice, predictable, stable relationship. I dated
    women who had similar career goals and were settled in their lives. But there was
    always Janiyah. Unpredictable, flirty, and definitely not looking to settle into
    a nice and easy relationship. She drove me crazy, I wanted her and didn’t want her
    at the same time. I thought she was exactly what I didn’t need in my life. It was
    impossible to continue to ignore the way she made me feel.

    What inner doubt causes you the most
    difficulty?

    I didn’t want to want Janiyah because I watched my dad make poor
    choices based on the whims of my mother. What I didn’t realize was that Janiyah’s
    unpredictability wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. She brings excitement and joy to
    my life.

    What’s your external complication?
    In the story world your author created, explain what it is you fear most.

    Janiyah already lived next to me, but then she wanted to work
    for me. I didn’t doubt she could do it. I did doubt that I’d be able to resist her
    when she was with me in the office all day. Not only did she become a stellar employee,
    but I saw a side of her that I refused to acknowledge was there. I was still afraid
    to trust myself to be with her. Janiyah dated men much more exciting than an accountant.
    I wasn’t sure if she’d be happy with me long term, and I want a long term relationship.

    Tell us about your significant other,
    that person who makes living worthwhile.

    What would that person say about
    you?

    At first, I think Janiyah would say that I wasn’t interested
    in her. I spent years trying to hide my attraction. She’s my best friend’s little
    sister, I couldn’t do my boy like that by stepping to his sister. I also think she
    viewed me as a “good guy”. She would tease me and call me Freddy whenever
    she tried to get me to loosen up. After I showed her my looser side, and opened
    myself up to accepting our relationship she calls me her man, the guy she loves,
    and a damn good lover. I can’t argue with any of that.

    What is your family like?

    The complete opposite of me. My dad spends his days ignoring
    responsibility to make my mom happy. My mom picks up and drops hobbies constantly
    and is more concerned with appearances. I have one sister who lives in New York; we don’t speak
    often. I love my family, but we’re just different.

    Are you happy with the way your story
    ended? Why or why not?

    Of course I’m happy. I’ve got Janiyah, my business is doing well,
    and her four older brother’s didn’t kill me for being with their baby sister.

    About the Writer

    You have the length of a tweet (140 characters) to describe yourself as
    a writer. Let’s see what you can do.

    I write spicy romances set in the south.

    Why did you choose to write about this character?

    I like the idea of the nice guy next door that has a naughty
    side. It was fun to tease Freddy and then finally have him snap and go after Janiyah
    full force.

    When you wrote about this character, what made you the most happy? What
    made you the most sad?

    Of course I was happy writing his love scenes. Freddy is great
    in bed. I was sad writing his struggle to trust his feelings for Janiyah. It was
    tough making him continue to push away from her when she was so open about her feelings
    for him.

    What do you want to write next?

    I’m working on the stories for Janiyah’s brothers. One is a pretty
    boy, the other is a bad boy, and one is a wanderer. I’m going to have lots of fun
    with these guys.
