    About the Book

    Title: His Lost Mate
    Genre: Paranormal Romance
    Author: Kathy Kulig
    Book heat level (Based on movie ratings): R
    He lost her once hundreds of years ago. Now he must battle a new
    entity. Will he lose her again forever?
    Archaeologist and
    psychic Lauren Halpern embarks on a journey to uncover an ancient mystery in a
    sultry and exotic jungle, but everything is getting in her way. Deven Chandler,
    the drop-dead gorgeous leader of their excavation is a serious distraction she
    does not need, and she’s desperately trying to guard her heart. But the heated
    passion between them is undeniable, and they simply cannot find a way to stop
    the inevitable. Lauren senses the supernatural connection between them holds a
    secret deeper than the hot sex they’re trying to resist. And Deven, the
    scientist that he is, simply won’t believe her esoteric beliefs or warnings.
    Once
    they tumble into a sizzling affair the real trouble begins. From the ancient
    ruins, a ghost of an ancient shaman appears. He lures them deeper to into the
    jungle where lies the deadliest evil of all. When danger arrives, can Deven
    learn to trust her and risk everything to save her?

    Introducing Deven Chandler

    Name: Deven Chandler
    Age: 32
    Gender: Male
    Birthplace: Netherlands
    Profession: Archaeologist/Professor
    Ethnicity/Species (if not human): Dutch
    Describe his/her body build, skin tone, height and weight.
    Include any unique features such as dimples, freckles, or scars: Tan, toned,
    muscular build, 6’, rough hands from years of field work excavating
    archaeological ruins.
    Who is the
    significant other in your character’s life?
    Lauren Halpern, a graduate student from another college, is
    doing field work on his excavation for credits towards her degree. There’s an
    instant attraction the moment she arrives. The woman is hot, smart and sexy.
    But he knows he should resist. As a professional, he shouldn’t allow it. There
    are too many complications with the excavation—local authorities, potential
    antiquity thieves, rumors of rebels in the jungle. The safety of the team and
    his project is vital, his love life with a hot student is not priority. And now
    there are a number of strange, unexplained events occurring around the ruins.
    Not to mention his ex-fiancée has decided to join the team this time around,
    and she has her own agenda besides adding to her collection at the museum.
    Tell us about this
    character, please.
    Deven is rugged and sexy. A mix of outdoor adventurer and
    smart professor, a bit like Indiana Jones. Although he was offered a
    prestigious board position at a large museum, he turned it down to continue
    traveling and working his projects in the jungle.
    How does your hero
    dress?
    Archaeologist in the jungle, working on ancient ruins. Jeans or
    khakis, no suits for this man. (unless he’s teaching at the university) He’s
    not afraid to get dirty.
    Does he scrape by,
    live comfortably, live extravagantly?
    He makes a comfortable wage. He works
    at a university in Boston, has a nice condo there and owns a cottage on Cape
    Cod. He’s most happy when he’s traveling and digging in ruins.
    On what special skills
    does your character rely?
    He’s highly skilled at his job, good at working
    with students and negotiating with foreign authorities. He’s all scientist, but
    rugged to the bone, devoted and determined to uncover the mystery surrounding
    his current project. But his flaw is not seeing a supernatural element closing
    in on the ruins.
    What is your
    character’s family like?
    He’s close to his family. His sister is also an
    archaeologist, but more sensitive to the supernatural. She has experienced
    ghosts at the ruins where she has worked. His parents live in the Netherlands.
    They sold their home to provide college educations for their two children. Over
    the years, Deven and his sister helped them purchase a home again.
    If someone from your
    character’s past showed up, who would he most NOT want it to be, and why?

    Sylvia, his ex-fiancée. Of course she decides to show up during this semester.
    He can’t turn her away since her father privately funds most of these projects
    for the college. He’s president of the board of the museum and part of the deal
    is acquiring a collection of artifacts for his museum. Deven has a hunch Sylvia
    has plans to acquire more than artifacts and that makes this trip more of a
    complication than Deven wants to deal with. Especially since things are heating
    up between him and Lauren.  
    What past event
    causes your character the most fear?
    In the jungle of a third-world
    country, anything can happen. Danger can arise, natural and unnatural can
    threaten lives deep in the jungle. Having local authorities shut down his
    project is one fear, but having his team come to harm is another.  Antiquity thieves, paramilitary groups,
    desperate locals, wild life, and more can all be a threat to a secluded
    archaeological dig. But there’s another threat, a supernatural one…
    What is your hero’s
    biggest personal flaw?
    He and Lauren are connected to the jungle in a
    supernatural way that he refuses to acknowledge. His seeing-is-believing,
    analytical mind denies what is obvious. And that could be dangerous for all of
    them on the team.
    What is your hero’s
    breaking point?
    When Lauren goes missing. Can’t say more without a spoiler.

    About Your Writer

    Why do you think your
    writer chose to write about you?
    Kathy is a bit of an adventure herself. She’s traveled a
    bit, explored the Mayan ruins in Tikal, Coba, and Tulum. She spoke to an
    archaeologist (not me), when she decided to write this story. He even gave her
    a Mayan artifact. The ruins must have inspired this story. I’m trying to
    determine what happened to an entire culture that seemed to have vanished
    hundreds of years ago. She asked the question: What if two Mayan lovers who
    lived back then were faced with a tragic life event? Could their love survive
    and they find each other again?
    What do you wish your
    writer had not told others about you?
    Hmmm. I’m devoted to my work, okay, I’m a work-aholic, but
    my job as an archaeologist and professor is important and rewarding. Sometimes
    I’m stubborn and keep blinders on. I guess I need to be more open to the
    esoteric world. I’m not comfortable with that. I’d rather go with facts and figures
    and proven hypotheses.
    What other character
    from your book do you think your writer should write a book about, and why?
    Perhaps my sister Sarita who’s working on a project in
    Greece. Or the two young guys on the team Kyle and Justin.
    Why do you think your
    writer loves to write?
    An archaeologist likes to uncover treasures and solve
    mysteries. It’s a way we can connect with cultures to the past and better
    understand them.  A writer likes to tell
    stories. The stories have to be told as they come to her, and she must love to
    share them with others. It’s her way of connecting with people from the present
    and also the future.
    Is there anything
    you’d like to say to your writer?  
    Thanks for writing my story and forcing me to face what I
    swore I’d never have to. And for helping me find the woman I was meant to be
    with always—my soul mate, my lover. From one work-aholic to another, get away
    from your desk and work. Have more fun. When you return refreshed, write what
    you’re most passionate about. You’ll always have new stories to share with
    readers and fans.

  • Erotic

    Handling Cynthia, Romance by @Andrea_Dalling #RLFblog #contemporary

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

    About the Author

    Andrea Dalling lives in the sexy Southeast, where the
    summers are hot and the romance hotter. During the day, she’s an award-winning
    technical writer, but at night, she writes steamy stories. She loves to torture
    her characters but eventually rewards them with a happily-ever-after. Married
    to her college sweetheart, she’s a progressive Christian and an advocate for
    LGBT rights. When she’s not writing, she enjoys gardening at her Raleigh home
    and scuba diving in the clear blue waters of the Caribbean Sea.

    Interview with Andrea Dalling

    Why did you write
    this book?
    When my high school reunion was
    coming up a couple of years ago, I realized it would  be fun to write a series about people hooking
    up with their high school crush at their five-year reunion. This series is
    about characters having a second chance to say the things they wish they’d
    said, to do the things they didn’t have the courage to do, and to find love
    with the one they can’t forget.
    Handling Cynthia, book 2 in the
    Second Chances series, was particularly fun because it’s about a classic high
    school “good girl” who, it turns out, is into kink—and she’s not shy
    about asking for what she wants. The hero is a departure from the familiar
    billionaire Dom: he’s a grad school student on a budget, a scientist who’s
    sometimes a bit overconfident and makes mistakes in reading what his sub wants.
    I like writing about characters who are real people working through real
    problems that readers can relate to in their own lives, and I hope that’s what
    I’ve done in this book.
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    I have eclectic tastes and enjoy a
    wide variety of genres, from the classics to women’s fiction to erotic romance.
    Right now, my favorites genres are gay and BDSM romance. I like romance that
    has some “forbidden” aspect to it, something that defies social
    conventions. At the same time, I have pretty conventional ideas about marriage
    and monogamy, and those things are reflected in my work as well.
    Who is your favorite
    character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and
    Prejudice. Not a very original answer, but an honest one! I remember reading
    that book when I was in high school, reading quotes from it to my mom because I
    thought it was so hilarious. I love how Elizabeth fights for what she believes
    in and stands up to social pressure, but then also shows the ability to change and
    admit her mistakes. And it doesn’t hurt that Darcy is the ultimate book
    boyfriend! A man of principles who hasn’t had much opportunity to put those
    principles into action, who for the first time in his life has to prove that
    he’s worthy of a woman, and rises to the occasion.
    What are you working
    on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    Tempting Jordan, book 3 in the
    Second Chances series, is a gay romance that’s just released. A closeted  bisexual has to choose between his golden-boy
    reputation and coming out for the man he loves. Next up is Commanding the
    Billionaire, a femdom book that turns the BDSM billionaire trope on its head.
    The heroine is a smart-mouthed Domme with trust issues and a troubled past, and
    the hero a strong, nurturing billionaire sub who helps her heal.
    Please tell us about
    your latest book.
    Cynthia Darlington can’t forget how Trent Weber kissed her before they
    left for college—backed up against her Mustang, wrists firm in his grip, her
    body yielding to his desire. Now, five years later, she seeks him out at their
    class reunion, newly aware of her submissive nature, and hungering for his
    dominance. With so much time and distance between them, he’s practically a
    stranger now. Giving herself to Trent could be the culmination of all her
    hopes—or a teenage fantasy gone horribly wrong.
    When Trent watched Cyn walk away after their kiss five years ago, it was
    enough humiliation to last a lifetime. But with one look at her in that tight
    black dress, his old desire resurfaces—and with it, the dark fantasies of her
    bound and submitting to his will. He longs to master this beautiful, confident,
    and supremely independent woman. If he can’t convince her to submit to her
    deepest cravings before the weekend is out, he could lose his last shot at the
    one who got away.
    Handling Cynthia, a BDSM erotic romance novella, is intended for an
    adult audience. It contains scenes of flirtation, hot kisses, seductive
    bowling, a spoiled sub, a demanding Dom, second thoughts, and second chances.

    Ella Storm from Crossing the Line by @allyabishop #RLFblog #romance

    Ella Storm from Crossing the Line by @allyabishop #RLFblog #romance
    Interview with Ella Storm
    This interview is designed for your hero or heroine to tell readers
    about himself or herself. Answer the questions as if the character were
    talking.
    Tell us about yourself,
    please.
    Hi! I’m Ella. I live in Brooklyn, New York with my brother Noah—long
    story. We own a mystery dinner theater company together, and we’re finally
    (finally!) getting some higher-end clientele. I’m super nervous and excited
    about that.
    Authors call what you want
    but cannot have “the conflict” — what is yours?
    Um. Hm. I suck at dating? Seriously. I can’t seem to get myself out
    there. Lux (my brother’s BFF and my friend as well) and Noah go out on the
    town. All. The. Time. But the idea of hanging out at bars, going home with
    someone just because he’s attractive? Not my thing. Totally fine if it’s your
    thing! But I can’t get into it.
    What can you not do (but
    need to do) during this story?
    I can’t figure out who I am. I like structure, deadlines, and
    schedules. And when I meet Ian…he changes everything.
    What inner doubt causes
    you the most difficulty?
    I was almost engaged to a guy in college, and I thought…well, I guess
    we all think we’ve met “the one,” right? Jonathan was handsome and funny, super
    smart in that cool way. But I should have known better—he wanted to be the star
    in any relationship. And he did a number on me. I can’t seem to get past that.
    In the story world your
    author created, explain what it is you fear most and why.
    Wow. Ask a personal question, eh? I guess…I want to believe Ian likes
    me as much as I like him. But how’s that even possible? Especially once I learn
    who he is?
    Tell us about your
    significant other, that person who makes living worthwhile.
    Ian Crane. He’s a lawyer and crazy sexy in that just-a-little-mussed
    way. We’re leagues apart though, and I’m not sure if this can work.
    What would that person say
    about you?
    Ian would say I’m beautiful and brilliant and perfect. :sigh:
    What is your family like?
    I don’t have much family. My brother and I were raised by our
    grandparents after our parents were killed in a car accident when we were
    teens. Other than that, Lux is who we count as family.
    What special skills do you
    rely on?
    I write all of our mysteries, organize the events and moving parts, while
    Noah does the business end of things: invoicing, tracking, etc. I’m also
    starting to get into scrapbooking (but don’t say anything to Noah about it—I’ll
    never live it down).
    If someone from your past
    showed up, who would you NOT want it to be, and why?
    Jonathan. He hurt something in me that’s still pretty broken.
    Why are you happy (or not
    happy) with the way your story ended?
    :grins: I can’t give that away! You have to read to find out. ;)
    About the Writer
    When you do something effortlessly
    and people commend you continuously, you have found your gift.
    That’s what I tell people all the
    time. And it’s true.
    I get story. I always have. I
    started writing when I was eight on a Smith Corona (the electronic kind — I’m
    not THAT old). I wrote stories in every spiral notebook I had. Eventually, I
    graduated to a Mac (yes, I’m one of THOSE people). I imagined new worlds,
    emotional conflicts, and HEAs while I waited at stoplights or wandered the
    grocery store. But here’s the thing: I didn’t just dream it up and write it
    down — I critiqued what I read. I knew when ideas were good, and when they
    stunk. I ran writing groups, judged creative contests, and eventually got two
    graduate degrees in writing. That’s right: I love it that much.
    So here I am, years later, writing
    kickass heroines and devastating good guys, along with some mystery and
    vampires thrown in (I promise: THEY’RE COMING). And what’s really cool? I do
    what I love. Wanna write a success story for your life: I promise you, that’s
    it. Do what you love. And hopefully, you can make a living at it too. That’s
    the golden ticket, Charlie.
    And chocolate doesn’t hurt,
    either…
    What
    was your biggest challenge in writing this book?
    When I originally wrote Inside the Lines, I had
    no intention of writing a book about Ella and Noah. When readers asked to learn
    more about the Storm siblings, I figured, what the heck? But when I sat down to
    write the book, I had no idea what Ella’s story was. Enter creative writing and
    outlining. :) Thankfully, Ella was perfectly content to do what she wanted,
    whether or not I liked it. And Noah’s always a little contrary.
    Why
    did you choose this character for the interview today?
    Ella’s the main female lead in Crossing the
    Line. What I personally like about Ella is that she’s very sweet—everyone loves
    Ella. But she’s not a pushover. Even when things go wrong in her life, she may
    not want to deal with them, but she does. And she’s perfectly capable of taking
    care of herself, with or without a man.
    When
    writing the book, what did you discover about this character that surprised
    you?
    Ella’s pretty sturdy—and I knew that. But she
    also has a breaking point, like everyone else. Seeing her and Noah at odds
    wasn’t what I expected, but I think you get a better feel for why Ella has
    evolved the way she has. And hopefully, it offers a clue to what Noah’s hangups
    are for his future story.
    Are
    any sequels planned for this book?
    Crossing the Line is a prequel to Inside the
    Lines, the first book of the Without a Trace series, which follows Lux and her
    sisters. The third book in the series, Tracing the Line, will be released in
    August 2015.
    What
    genre(s) would you like to write that you haven’t tried yet?
    I’m currently working on two paranormal series,
    so we’ll see how those pan out. :)
    What
    would your readers be surprised to learn about you?
    I never ever thought I’d write romance. My
    background is in literary writing, and I’ve worked in the publishing field and
    edited literary works for years now. But when an opportunity arose to write
    steamy romance, I couldn’t resist the challenge. And I’ve had a blast.
    Why
    should readers who haven’t picked up one of your books before give this one a
    try?
    Oo, good question! Let’s see.
    1. My focus for every book is to make sure the
    characters have authentic problems that real people have, that they have flaws
    that make them human, and that I honor the romance genre with the content. So
    if you enjoy romance and you like to feel as though the characters you reach
    could be friends of yours, then this book is for you.
    2. I write steamy romance…so you won’t have to
    look far for some heat in any book I write. ;)
    3. I explore something different with each book,
    including mental illness, the realities of kinky sensuality, and diverse
    characters with different backgrounds. This book’s a great start to see if
    you’ll enjoy my style.
    Is
    there anything you’d like to say to your readers?
    Thank you so much for reading, and for giving me
    the encouragement to continue the series! I’ve had a blast hearing your
    feedback, and I appreciate your willingness to take a chance on my series.
    Without you, authors have no purpose—so thank you for loving the written word.

    Genre Erotic romance
    Author Ally Bishop
    Book heat level (based on
    movie ratings): R
    I’ve never believed in love at
    first sight, which is probably why I write mysteries, and not romances, for a
    living. Besides, I’m too focused on expanding Elementary, a mystery dinner
    party business I own with my brother Noah. I don’t have time for romance.
    When the handsome and successful
    Ian Crane books our services, I can barely keep my wits about me. He’s setting
    fire to all my rules, and I can’t resist his flames. I don’t recognize the
    woman I’m becoming, but I don’t want to go back to who I was.
    There’s a part of me that can’t
    help wondering, what if he’s too good to be true? Because if he is, my heart
    will be nothing more than ashes.

    #amreading Of the Cowboy’s Own Accord a new #Western by @maryjdressel #RLFblog

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

    About the Author

    Early
    days of reading romance novels and women’s fiction laid the groundwork for Mary
    to take up the pen and write her own memorable love stories where love always
    wins. Her novels are emotional and compelling, and characters don’t have an
    easy time getting what they want, but their reward is sexy and sweet. In a
    lighter style Mary prefers to write more romantic and sensual love stories. She
    loves to write stories with strong family ties, lasting friendships, gentlemen
    heroes with a touch of bad, and feisty women who know how to handle them.
     Her home is in the Great Lake Basin area in
    the U.S.A. Two grown sons and an Australian Shepherd fur-baby dog complete her
    family. Mary loves communicating with readers and friends. She also has a
    mailing list for readers who want to be notified of new releases and important
    book updates. Visit her website for more information.

    Interview with Mary J. McCoy-Dressel

    Why did you write
    this book?
    Dane Carlson wouldn’t be quiet until he got his own story. Of
    the Cowboy’s Own Accord is about the third and youngest brother in my Double
    Dutch Ranch Series: Love at First Sight. Since this is a series, I wanted each brother to have their own book. Dane’s
    story definitely had to be told.
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    I like reading a variety of contemporary romance genres—romantic
    suspense, military, and an occasional erotic romance, but my favorite is contemporary western romance. Love those cowboys.
    Who is your favorite
    character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Darn! Even picking one of my own would be difficult. I began
    reading romance novels with Kathleen E. Woodiwiss and Rosemary Rogers. Yes, way
    back then. In truth, I’ve read and enjoyed too many books to choose just one
    favorite character. I call most of them my favorite by time I get to the end of
    a book.
    What are you working
    on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    Due to being sick recently and preparing to move, I’m
    supposed to be taking a break, but I began two books that I know readers are
    waiting for. The first is the fifth book in the Double Dutch Ranch Series, and
    the other is book three in the Bull Rider Series. When life mellows out, I’ll
    dedicate my time to one of those books instead of trying to work on both at the
    same time. More than likely, book three in the Bull Rider Series will be that
    book. If only my characters from the ranch will leave me alone long enough.
    This is doubtful.
    Please tell us about
    your latest book.
     
    Of the Cowboy’s Own Accord is the fourth book in this
    sensual western romance series and numbered three. How can it be number three
    when this is the fourth book? I wrote a mid-length novel numbered 1.5 in the
    series—a follow-up to book one.
    Blurb:
    Army Ranger Dane Carlson never
    means to fall in love before leaving
    for another tour of duty, but unexpectedly, he does. While deployed, he finds
    himself being sent home early to the family ranch to make a heartrending
    decision. Little does he know he isn’t the only
    one making decisions. His first priority is to rekindle the flame after losing
    communication with Gracelyn Clark. The woman who owns his heart and has since
    the moment their gaze connects. But now, nothing is the same as when they met.
    The first round of news is surprise
    enough, yet Gracelyn continues to release shocking information detrimental to
    their future. Can they make it work
    after so few days together seven months ago? Adjusting to many new things in
    his life isn’t easy as it is, so to pull himself back to the man he’s become, could be the biggest test of all—in
    order to protect his own.
    Challenges abound even as Dane and
    Gracelyn come to terms with the decisions they’ve made. Whatever tomorrow
    brings, their only choice is
    acceptance—to take one day at a time and face life as it comes.

    Derrick didn’t set out to open a BDSM club—it was a labor of love. Despite his wife Marcia’s initial reluctance, Derrick’s dream of having a safe place for their friends to play and learn quickly came to fruition. What he didn’t realize was that Venture’s open doors would soon transform into a living legacy, a place where good friends and even better memories were made.
    And along the way, sometimes, even families were formed.

    A medieval soldier returns home to find his lover died in childbirth just as his own mother had. Believing he is cursed, Peter of Normandy turns from love. When he must give escort to an Irish princess more noble than many knights, he struggles with his decision to live a solitary life. Can he take the chance that his love won’t be a death sentence and possibly make them stronger?
    Padraig MacNaughton’s death bed decree rips his daughter, Brighit, from the shelter of her protective clan in Ireland. Forced to take vows at a Priory in England, she finds herself in the hands of lecherous mercenaries with their own agendas. Dare she trust the Norman knight to see her safely to her new life as a nun? Even when she finds in him the fulfillment of all she’s ever wanted?
    Or will honor and duty eclipse their one chance for happiness?

    About the Author

    I write medieval romance novels full of passion and intrigue set in 11th and 12th century Ireland, Scotland, and England.
    Although all my works are fiction,
    I often like to incorporate authentic places, events, and people to increase
    the reader’s enjoyment. One of the more valuable lessons I have learned as a
    writer is the importance of using real history with the flair of artistic
    license. You’ll discover a world of fiction wrapped around historical people
    and events!
    I live in New England with my
    husband, two cats and a yellow Labrador named Caledonia.
