Two writers in one. Daryl Devoré writes hot romances with sexy heroes and strong heroines and sweet romances with little to no heat. Daryl has several published books available on Amazon in ebook or print book and available at other book retailers via D2D.
Daryl lives in an old farmhouse in Ontario, Canada, with her husband and 2 cats. Daryl loves to take long walks on her quiet country road or snowshoe across the back acres, and in the summer, kayak along the St. Lawrence River. She has touched a moon rock, a mammoth, and a meteorite. She’s been deep in the ocean in a submarine, flown high over Niagara Falls in a helicopter, and used the ladies room in a royal palace. Life’s an adventure and Daryl’s having fun living it.

Born in Brooklyn, D.V. Stone has moved around a bit and even lived for a time on a dairy farm in Minnesota before moving back east. Throughout her wandering, she always considered herself a Jersey Girl. She met and married the love of her life, Pete–a lifelong Jersey Man, and moved this time to Sussex County. They adopted Hali, a mixed breed from the local shelter, who is still working things out with their cat Baby.
DV’s career path varied from working with the disabled to become a volunteer EMT, which in turn led to working in hospital emergency rooms and then in a women’s state prison. After a few years, she took a break from medicine and became the owner of Heavenly Brew, a specialty coffee shop in Sparta NJ, and a small restaurant in Lafayette. Life handed some setbacks, and she ended up back in the medical field, but this time in a veterinary emergency hospital.
During the poor economy, she was laid–off from a long-time position she cared about. Devastated, DV wondered what to do with her life. Finding comfort in her love of reading, she realized it was now time to follow her dream of writing. It’s been a long road but worth every minute of it. Now a published author, she also works in a people medical office again.
“Thank you for taking the time to read about me. Each time you open the pages to one of my books, I hope you’ll be swept away by the story and find encouragement in your own life, never to give up on hope.”

Know the Heroine from The Director and the Artist in Your Desire by Dee S Knight @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #fantasy #magic #PNR #paranormal
Dee S Knight, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your hero, but first, tell us about the book Your Desire.
The Director and the Artist in Your Desire by Dee S Knight
Genre Erotic romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Your Desire
A mysterious shop appears in town for one reason: to bring the spice of passion and the thrill of love to one special person. Magic is in more than the item purchased—it’s in the heart of the buyer, often hidden, usually surprising. And after enchantment takes hold? The store fades from sight and memory, only to reappear somewhere else. Maybe in your town…
The Artist and the Director
Derica Meadows, the conservative Director of Accounting at a large San Francisco firm, sees the most beautiful dress imaginable in a shop window. So different from her usual genderless pant suits, she’s swept into acquiring the gown for a formal business affair the next night. But a funny thing happens on the way to her party, in the form of a compelling man and a photo shoot. Suddenly, the normally logical Derica finds herself swimming in a sea of sexual freedom she’d never before considered. The hunk of a artist can satisfy her fantasies, but what will happen to her climb up the corporate ladder in the process? And to her heart?
Awards Night
Allison Hayes has always tried to be all things to all people. Need anything done? Call Allison. It seems no one considers that Allison might have needs, too. When she goes home one night to find a man injured in her pasture, she resigns herself to helping out yet again. However, it isn’t long before she finds the roles reversed, as the mysterious man fulfills her deepest desires. By morning, Allison knows that in being the Good Samaritan this time, she’s gotten more than she gave. The question is, was it passion for one night or for a lifetime of love?
Know the Heroine from The Director and the Artist in Your Desire
It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
Derica works hard and when she has free time she uses it to unwind from her stressful job. If she’s bored, she’ll draw a hot bath, add some good bath scent and relax—maybe with a book and glass of wine.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
She watches her figure stringently, so if she’s able to impulse eat, it would eb with fast food. A burger or chili dog.
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
She’s very professional, and even in business affairs, she’s aware that her shape draws the attention of many of the men she works with. She has a wide selection of black pant suits that she accessorizes with beautiful scarves. She wears very conservative but feminine blouses under the jackets. One she meets Kailen, her life (and her wardrobe) is turned upside down. When he chooses her clothing, it’s anything but professional or black.
Does she know how to fix things?
She’s a modern woman who lies alone, so she’s gained quite a few skills around the house.
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
There isn’t much that Derica does badly. She’s a woman who is about to be named partner in her firm, and she’s young, so if she did things badly she wouldn’t have the position she does. But she did try to set up her roommate in college once. Her friend and blind date hated the sight of each other, making her promise never to try to matchmake again.
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
She doesn’t dislike children, but she’s not drawn to them. Basically, she tries to avoid them, although she can interact with them if she has to.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
Ready to go. Up with the alarm first goes off and goes from 0 to 60 in a few seconds.
Can she use chopsticks?
Of course. She interacts with international clients and tries to respect their cultures.
Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?
Coffee, black, please. If you need caffeine ,no need to dilute it.
What apps would she have on her phone?
The stock exchanges, business magazines, the WSJ online.
Android or iPhone?
iPhone
Earrings or unpierced ears?
She has pierced ears and wears studs, nothing dangly.
Tattoos or unadorned skin?
Strictly unadorned skin.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
She has a car but in San Francisco it’s more a hindrance than a joy, so she mostly uses public transit.
Recycle or toss?
Recycle.

Meet Karen Cino @karencino Author of Cookie Cutter Cozy Mystery Series #RLFblog #Cozy Mystery Romance
Karen Cino, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Cookie Cutter Cozy Mystery Series.
Cookie Cutter Cozy Mystery Series by Karen Cino
Genre Cozy Mystery Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings):
After a traumatic event in her life, Connie Acosta heads down to the Jersey Shore to stay with her friend, Sara Mazza, who lives in a fifty-five and over community. For Connie, this is a temporary stop until she figures out what she wants to do.
Connie and Sara have a brief discussion and decide to start the baking business they had spoken about decades before. But things take a dramatic turn when Sara gets Connie involved in a mysterious adventure at the clubhouse.
Tell us about yourself as a person.
What makes you different from other people?
That’s a tough question to answer. I’d say my personality and my ability to help people without looking for anything in return.
What is your personality type?
I’m outgoing. I love making people laugh. A typical Aries. But I do like my privacy. When I’m writing I tend to stay to myself.
What was your favorite childhood game?
I grew up in an apartment building in Brooklyn, New York. Everyday we would go into the courtyard with our chalk and play hopscotch. I also loved playing stoop ball.
What is your favorite subject to talk about?
I love talking about decorating and baking cookies and cakes, sharing my recipes. I also love about books and my favorite authors.
What is your favorite book?
Lovers and Gamblers by Jackie Collins
What is your favorite meal?
Anything made with eggplant.
Tell us about yourself as a writer.
What made you want to be a writer?
I always loved telling stories. I wanted to be a sports writer. But at the time, it was a hard field for women to break into. But I always wrote poems, short stories and novels. I can’t remember a time when writing stories wasn’t a part of my life.
What are your favorite books for writing advice?
Save the Cat! But I find that talking to other published writers helped me the most. They are able to answer the questions honestly without all the fluff.
What are your favorite reference books?
Dictionary and Thesaurus. You can even get them online. My novels take place in settings that I’m familiar with. But for someone writing historical romances, it is important to do your research.
When you go to a convention, what kinds of things do you take along?
I always have business cards and swag. Of course in my tote I always carry a notebook and multiple pens.
What’s your best advice for a new writer?
Don’t give up. Keep writing everyday. Set a goal. My goal is 1000 words a day. Somedays I don’t get there, but somedays I write over 2000 words. Keep writing and mostly importantly, edit, edit and edit.
What are your writing goals for this year?
My goal is to release three books in the Cookie Cutter Cozy Mystery Series, one Women’s Fiction and one Women’s Fiction Romance Mystery.

When I was little, I thought everyone had stories in their head. I didn’t find out that wasn’t the case until kindergarten. I remember thinking that was sad; and that I should share the ones I had. I asked my teacher for help. I had her cut, fold and staple the paper into a suspiciously book-like shape. Then I drew the cover art and illustrated the interior pages. Finally, and most importantly, I dictated the text. And violà … a writer was born.
It took thirty years for me to get from that first attempt to published author. I think the road thus far has added some depth and experience to my writing. At the very least I learned I shouldn’t ever do my own illustrations.
A city girl, born and bred, I tend to place my stories in and around southeast Pennsylvania, or at least have a character or two from the area. Home is where the heart is and I make mine with my two beautiful daughters and my two grandsons who make every day a blessing.
Making my own dreams come true, one happily ever after at a time.
