    Fiction Furbaby: Meet Bartholomew a Racoon Familiar from Better Haunts and Garden Gnomes by Michelle M Pillow @MichellePillow @RobsRescues #RLFblog #PetsMichelle M Pillow, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We support all furbabies, real life or fictional. We want to know all about your Fiction Furbaby, but first, please tell us about your book.

    Better Haunts and Garden Gnomes by Michelle M Pillow

    Genre: Cozy Mystery Paranormal Romantic Comedy
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): G
    Welcome to Lucky Valley where nothing is quite what it seems.
    Lily Goode wasn’t aware she had an inheritance waiting for her in the form of a huge Victorian house in Lucky Valley, Colorado. Life might finally be coming together for her. That is if you don’t count the endless home repairs, dealing with eccentric Aunt Polly who claims they’re both witches, and Nolan Dawson the handsome home inspector who seems to have it out for her, then, sure, life is grand. Oh, and not to mention the strange hallucinations and garden gnomes who are far more than lawn ornaments.
    If mysterious accidents don’t do her in, then the rebellious gnomes just might. With the help of Aunt Polly, it’s up to Lily to discover who’s sabotaging her new home and trying to drive the Goodes out of Lucky Valley once and for all.

    Meet Bartholomew from Better Haunts and Garden Gnomes

    Full name: Bartholomew
    Gender: Male
    Species: Racoon
    Physical description: A rather large racoon. He’s been eating well.
    Relationship to main character: Her brother’s new familiar.
    Relationship to the villain/antagonist: He doesn’t have time for that sort of thing.
    Where this furbaby came from: He’s been living in the walls of the Victorian house Lily Goode just inherited.
    What inspired you to create this character?
    As one often does, I was watching adorable animal videos on the internet and saw one of a racoon riding on the windshield of a car. It reminded me of the incredibly well-fed racoon that would come each evening to eat the food I’d put out for the stray cat who moved into my yard. He’d sneak a hand forward and grab a piece. The cats didn’t care.
    What does the main character think about this furbaby?
    I don’t Lily Goode is thrilled by the idea of wildlife living in her new home.
    How do other characters react to or interact with this furbaby?
    Dante Goode, the heroine’s brother, gets off to a rough start with Bartholomew. I can’t give too much away because of spoilers.
    What is this furbaby’s natural habitat?
    The walls and floor of the Goode’s third story storage area.
    What about this furbaby will readers like, and why?
    What’s not to love about any furbaby? Bartholomew is mischievous and does his own thing. He also causes a little trouble.

    About Lord Winston, Lady Annabelle, Princess Fiona, and Bunny

    Fiction Furbaby: Meet Bartholomew a Racoon Familiar from Better Haunts and Garden Gnomes by Michelle M Pillow @MichellePillow @RobsRescues #RLFblog #PetsThis post is called Fiction Furbaby, but perhaps your own pet does not have fur. If you have a pet that has fins, wings, scales, or other features, please tell us about them here.
    Winston and Anna are English Bulldogs and are about 12 years old now. Fiona is a Schipperke, and full of adorable tricks to con people out of treats. Bunny is a stray cat who adopted us.
    Which, if any of the pets in your writing are modeled after your own pets? In what way?
    Winston and Anna are English Bulldogs. In the series, Warlocks MacGregor, one of the uncles has an English Bulldog he enchanted to never age. I think a lot of us wish we has that kind of magic.
    What do your pets do when you are writing?
    Fiona patrols the house and makes sure everything is in order. Bunny’s domain is the garage and front bushes. I’m pretty sure she just rolls around in dirt all day collecting fur-leaves. Winston is content to find strange places to sleep (or he tries to sneak into my husband’s office). Anna is a resident of under my desk.
    What’s the most unusual pet you ever had?
    We rescued a baby duck. I taught him how to swim in the bathtub.
    Describe a toy or favorite item your pet loves.
    Fiona is my playful one. She hoards all the toys. I count five in a pile on her bed right now.

    Daron's Guitar Chronicles by Cecilia Tan #FreeBookFriday #ReadDaron’s Guitar Chronicles by Cecilia Tan

    Sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Coming out and coming of age in the days of AIDS, MTV, Reaganomics, and Just Say No.
    Daron Marks is a young guitar player with a dream, make it big like the guys he grew up idolizing in New Jersey–or at least escape his dysfunctional family. He makes it as far as music school in Rhode Island, and the rock clubs of Boston beckon him. But it’s hard to succeed from the closet.
    Ziggy Ferias is an art school dropout who dreams of fame. One day he sees a guitarist busking in the park, and his entire vision of his future changes.
    A story of how finding one’s self is key to finding love, and loving one’s self is key to loving another.
    Winner of the Rose and Bay Award for Crowdfunded Fiction!
    “For me, Daron is one of those rare fictional characters that I have a hard time believing does not actually exist on the physical plane. He is just too real. Part of it is that Daron is only a couple of years older than me and the way the 80s are brought to life here reminds me very much of my own coming of age: the musical references, the language, the AIDS scare, the technology, the hair… Most of all, though, it is the fact that Daron is an extremely well written character. He grows and changes and engages.”

    Master Me by Sayara St Clair #FreeBookFriday #ReadMaster Me by Sayara St Clair

    Trixie Meier, a club submissive who’s tired of being pushed around, has decided she’d rather be on the other end of the whip. She’s set her sights on Xavier Adams—the most enigmatic and unapproachable man in the club. Xavier’s a regular Mr. Darcy. If Mr. Darcy was covered in tattoos, wore black leather, and was built like a Sherman tank.
    Xavier has big secrets, and he keeps them behind an impenetrable wall of intimidation he employs to keep everyone at a healthy distance. Everyone but Trixie. The irrepressibly feisty sprite isn’t afraid to get all up in his face, in the worst and best ways. He’s convinced himself she’s far too sweet for the likes of him…just before he starts stalking her.
    When he discovers Trixie doesn’t want to submit to him, but master him instead, Xavier’s sure it’s the most ridiculous thing he’s ever heard. A big, scary guy like him, submitting to what has to be the tiniest Mistress known to BDSM kind? Ludicrous.
    But Trixie packs a lot of woman in a small package. And Xavier’s about to learn sometimes the old adage is true—the bigger you are, the harder you fall.

    Sweet Christmas Kisses 5 by Milou Koenings @MilouKoenings #RLFblog #NewRelease #sweetromanceMilou Koenings, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.

    Sweet Christmas Kisses 5 by Milou Koenings

    Genre Sweet Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG
    When a supermodel with a string of bad news boyfriends “wins” a volunteer firefighter at a charity bachelor auction, Rose and Ryan might both discover they’ve found their perfect Christmas match. A fun and romantic holiday tale set in the fictional town of Green Pines, Illinois.
    The Mistletoe Bachelor Auction is part of Sweet Christmas Kisses 5, a box set of nince sweet romance novellas, from USA Today, Publisher’s Weekly, and award-winning authors. Sweet Christmas Kisses 5 brings you heartwarming contemporary romances that celebrate the joy of the season around the world, including in snowy Maine and the sun-kissed skies of Florida, the mountains of Colorado, small-town Illinois and South Carolina, New York to San Francisco, and even the glittering lights of Paris and the old-world charm of Florence. The Sweet Christmas Kisses 5 bundle features all-new, standalone novellas that will make you smile and fill your heart with the Christmas spirit.
    Why did you write this book?
    The book was spark by a conversation I overheard when I was standing in line somewhere. The two women waiting in front me were sharing the stories of how they’d met their husbands. One of them said that she’d met hers when her friends “bought” him for her at a bachelor auction. Well, that was just too good a scenario not to make it into a book someday! The idea was percolating in my mind for a long time. So, when I was invited to be part of the Sweet Christmas Kisses 5, a box set of nine standalone novellas, I thought this was the perfect time to write it. What better Christmas gift than true love?
    The Mistletoe Bachelor Auction is the sixth book in the Green Pines Romance series. The hero appeared in the very first book in that series, when he was just a troubled teenager. I loved him then and always wondered what kind of man he’d grow into and how he’d get his life together. It was so gratifying to discover that he’d turned into such a great guy!
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    Romance, of course. Love’s the greatest gift, so who wouldn’t want to read about it? Plus, the older I get, the more I crave those happy endings.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    That depends on what I’m reading at any given moment. Right now, I’m loving Molly Weasley all over again. (It’s my annual Harry Potter binge-reading month!)
    What are you working on at the moment?
    I’m busy writing a brand-new sweet romance series to be released early next year. It’s a trilogy focused on three friends who go into business together. I’m having a lot of fun with it.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    In October, I’m launching The Gift of Yesterday, which is actually book five of the Green Pines Romance series. The Mistletoe Bachelor Auction will be out as a stand-alone in November (although you can’t beat the Sweet Christmas Kisses 5 deal–nine books for the price of one–so get it now!). The new series is slated for release early next year, which should also see the release of the next Green Pines novel.

    Meet the hot firefighters in Hooked on a Phoenix by Ashlyn Chase @GoddessAsh #RLFblog #paranormal romantic comedyAshlyn Chase, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please introduce us to your heroes.

    Hi, there! I’m Ashlyn Chase and I’m here to interview two of my heroes!

    They’re brothers, best friends, roommates, and firefighters in neighboring fire houses. It was impossible to separate their stories, so I told them both in the same book! More than a Phoenix releases Sept 25, 2018
    Noah: We know who you are. You’re the one that put us through hell.
    Dante: Don’t listen to my brother. People think he’s a hothead, but he only gets upset when other people are being mistreated.
    Ashlyn: Did I mistreat anyone you cared about, Noah?
    Noah:
    (bursts out laughing)
    Dante: It wasn’t too bad for me. I had a second chance with a girl from high school who was completely out of my league at that time.
    Noah: She wasn’t out of your league. You used that as an excuse not to ask her out, because you were chicken.
    Dante: I admit I could have tried harder, but the timing just wasn’t right. It turned out to be perfect timing when we saw each other six years later on that rainy day at the bus stop.
    Noah: Yeah. I doubt anyone but you would have given her a ride, considering she was talking to someone who wasn’t there.
    Dante: (sighs) She wasn’t crazy and I knew that. I wasn’t sure what was going on and neither was she. She’d never seen a ghost before.
    Noah: I still can’t believe they left her sitting in the hallway outside the ER for an hour!
    Dante: Yeah, it was nice of you to look out for a friend, but you practically went to war with the ER doctor.
    Noah: (grinning) Yeah, Kizzy Samuels. She might be a petite brunette, but she wasn’t taking any of my crap. I’m glad she was on duty that day, and even gladder that we ran into each other later when she was off duty.
    Dante: I’m glad too. Both of you were relaxed and had a chance to make up. The kissing came later.
    Noah: Har har.
    Dante: You know, Ashlyn, I do have one beef with you.
    Ashlyn: Oh? What’s that?
    Dante:
    Why is Noah on the cover instead of me? I’m the better looking brother!
    Noah: Hey!
    Ashlyn: Relax you two. I had nothing to do with it. My publisher and their art department make the covers.
    Noah:
    So why didn’t they put both of us on it?
    Ashlyn: Because at first glance it might look like a gay romance.
    Dante:
    Oh. My. God. I like my brother and everything, but…
    Noah: (laughing)
    Ashlyn: It’s a branding thing. (shrugs) So, changing the subject… You’re shapeshifting phoenixes.
    Noah:
    Yeah. Pretty handy in a fire. If the worst happens, we can reincarnate out of the ashes.
    Dante: But our ‘fire’ didn’t have anything to do with our jobs. Noah blew up our own house–on purpose!
    Noah: You knew it had to be done for the good of man and woman-kind. There was no other way.
    Dante: Well, as much of a pain in the ass it was to stay in baby bird form until we reached maturity, I’m still glad we made the sacrifice.
    Ashlyn: Yes. You guys really took me by surprise there.
    Dante:
    We like to keep you on your toes.
    Ashlyn: You sure do.
    Dante:
    So, what’s next for us?
    Ashlyn: You’ll just have to complete the series and find out.
    Noah:
    I’ll bet the next book has to do with our baby brother.
    Ashlyn: You mean the youngest Fierro? Luca is hardly a baby.
    Dante:
    Yeah, but we’re his older brothers, so we can call him that. Until Luca was born the rest of us called Noah the baby.
    Ashlyn: I’m sure. And look how he turned out. He’s the tallest of all of you.
    Noah:
    Yeah, look how I turned out? The biggest, bravest—
    Dante: Oh, pulease…
    Ashlyn: Let’s tell everyone where they can find your story. It comes out today! Sept 25th!
