    About the Author

    D.C. native, Livia Quinn, now lives and writes by the bayou in Louisiana. She’s written ten books in her Storm Lake series, both paranormal and contemporary romance. While working as a plant manager, computer trainer, mail lady, professional singer, and small business owner she has stocked her brain full of great characters and fodder for her stories, and she can’t wait to share them with her readers.

    Interview with Livia Quinn

    Why did you write this book?
    I wanted to offer my first three books in the Larue series of Storm Lake East so readers could get them together at a special price, $4.99 for now. It includes Hard Days Knight, Her First Knight and Merry Christmas, Baby. The books revolve around the military and law enforcement men and women of Larue, their families and their missions to help their community at large.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I enjoy both paranormal and contemporary romance with a little suspense thrown in.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    I just finished Deborah Harkness’ All Souls Trilogy and I’m totally in love with Matthew Clairmont, her big, awesome, sexy, intelligent, tender, charming and powerful vampire.
    What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    I’m currently finishing up Take these Broken Wings which is on preorder at all bookstores. It’s the fifth book in my Destiny Paramortals series. You can start the series with book 1, Storm Crazy, for free.
    Please tell us about your latest book.
    Heroes who care… 
    Hard Days Knight   Luc Larue knows how it looks when the sexy cop and her partner respond to a silent alarm at the grocery where he stopped for a six-pack. Luc’s job with KPI requires certain…attire and equipment. The tall, dark and deadly looking mercenary Delilah Burke confronts at the robbery scene is sexy as sin, but is he a hero or a con? He just seems too good to be true. Then, trouble arrives from his past and Del is faced with a choice to believe the evidence against Luc, or trust her heart.
    Her First Knight  “Take ‘em off, Tucker. Tucker. Tucker…” Ridge Romano is an inventor, Ranger, mentor, the consummate planner. So how did he wind up on stage in nothing but his trousers and tie beside two cover models, and a hundred women screaming at him to take it off? It had seemed like a recipe for harmless fun. One curious CEO follows a gorgeous redhead onto the conference floor. Add a hundred romance writers at a “meeting”. Toss in some false assumptions. Throw out a lifetime of good behavior and Ridge is up to his Special Forces tattoo in manure. Now to make sure no one finds out.
    Merry Christmas, Baby  Larue social media is all atwitter at the return of their hometown movie idol, Ducane Beauregard Larue at the only place to celebrate Christmas Eve. Nothing could make Buffy happier than delivering some surprises and helping the people she loves find love. A Christmas Eve miracle confirms what she already knows, that with a little nudge, all her love ones’ happily-ever-afters will happen in the not so distant future.

    Barbara’s Redemption a new #romanticsuspense novel by @Diane_Saxon #RLFblog

    This quick interview includes info about Diane Saxon and her story, Barbara’s Redemption.

    About the Author

    Diane Saxon lives in the Shropshire countryside with her tall, dark, handsome husband, two gorgeous daughters, a Dalmatian, one-eyed kitten, ginger cat, four chickens and a new black Labrador puppy called Beau, whose name has been borrowed for her hero in For Heaven’s Cakes.
    After working for years in a demanding job, on-call and travelling great distances, Diane gave it all up when her husband said “follow that dream”.
    Having been hidden all too long, her characters have burst forth demanding plot lines of their own and she’s found the more she lets them, the more they’re inclined to run wild.

    Interview with Diane Saxon

    Why did you write this book?
    I held a launch party for one of my previous books and one of the games we played was for everyone to put their name into a hat, and the winner got a walk on part in my next book. This happened to be Flynn’s Kiss, Book #1 in my Disarmed & Dangerous series. The winner, Barbara Ann Perry was so delighted, she didn’t want to be a gentle sweetheart – no – she wanted to be a kick ass female. Well, actually she would really have liked to be a psychotic killer, but we smoothed that out a little between us.
    By the time her sassy and strong willed character hit the first few pages of Flynn’s Kiss, I knew the woman had to have a whole book of her own.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    Romance. Almost any sub-genres, but mainly thrillers, suspense, historical, contemporary and paranormal. And I love humour, so bring on the Julia Quinns and the Susan Elizabeth Phillips.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Do you know, I’m quite fickle. There are so many that I love, but I have to say I read Tim by Colleen McCullough many years ago, before it was turned into a film and my heart almost exploded with love for him.
    What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    I’m torn. I’m currently working on If Love Had Wings, a follow-up to Banshee Seduction, but there’s another character being a bit pushy and wanting her own story, so I’m also writing one of my Atlantic Divide series too. Whichever one takes my fancy at the time.
    In the coming months, there’s going to be quite a bit of activity from me. I have Gun Shy coming out in August and several other projects which I’ll talk about more next time.
    Please tell us about your latest book.
    Black Hawk pilot Captain Barbara Lynn Perry is running scared. Witness to an event too horrible to think about and too dangerous to talk of, she finds herself alienated from a world she has always had faith in.
    With her Special Forces brother missing, she has only one other person to turn to. When her friend Flynn Swann isn’t available, Barbara is left with no choice but to trust the man Flynn sends to save her.
    Psychiatrist Dominic Salter’s information from her superior officer’s file is that Barbara has gone rogue. Despite the damning evidence, every instinct tells him he’s dealing with an honorable woman, one who single-handedly saved Flynn from torture and a sure death. Dominic’s challenge is to delve his way beneath her tough, defensive attitude and coax the truth from a woman who’s too frightened to reveal her dark secret.
    In his brand new facility containing a state of the art Dreampsych Transcender he’s experimenting with, a machine far beyond a simulator, Dominic has to gain the trust and confidence of Barbara while he resists the hard pull of attraction to this kick-ass woman.
    Betrayed by a member of his staff, events take a sinister turn, and the pressure is on in a fight against time for Dominic to persuade Barbara to put her trust in him and reveal the truth before matters are taken out of his hands.

    Is it better to be safe or loved?
    Four months have passed since the E’mani destroyed the Earth
    and scooped up the remains. Elizabeth “Beta” Camden was one of those taken.
    With the help of their enemies, the Fost, she escapes and confronts her prior captors

    follows her heart instead and falls in love with Marin, the sexy Fost warrior.

    to find the E’mani stronghold and end them once and for all. But love is a tricky
    bitch. It takes a threat to Marin’s safety to make Beta realize, if she can’t forget
    her past, she won’t have a future.

    Jennifer Allis Provost writes books about faeries, orcs and elves. Zombies too. She grew up in the wilds of Western Massachusetts and had read every book in the local library by age twelve.

An early love of mythology and folklore led to her epic fantasy series, The Chronicles of Parthalan, and her day job as a cubicle monkey helped shape her urban fantasy, Copper Girl. When she’s not writing about things that go bump in the night (and sometimes during the day) she’s working on her MFA in Creative Nonfiction.
