Totally Rad Wormhole by Douglas J Eboch
Genre Teen Comedy
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
It’s 1989, and high school seniors Alex and Roger cannot wait to graduate. High school may be heinous, but they have big plans for adulthood. Then, something goes wrong with their science project – it rips open a hole in time, a tunnel to the year 2021. The boys journey into the future to find out how their lives will turn out. But when they meet themselves at their high school reunion, they are not pleased with what they’ve become and set out to change their fate. Their future selves, however, remember this journey and compete to influence the outcome.
What’s in your character’s pockets, backpack, or purse?
What does your character always carry?
Alex always carries his Sony Walkman. He’s an avid member of the Columbia House music club. In the opening scene, he’s listening to a Timbuk3 cassette.
Does your character carry money and if so, in what form (cash, credit, etc.)?
Alex and Roger got their parents to give them their allowance early, so they have $35 in cash to take to 2021. However, they’re not sure people in the future will still use money.
What does your character carry related to a job or calling?
Alex is in high school, so he carries his school books, wrapped with brown paper bag covers. But he also likes to draw, so he carries a sketchbook filled with his original comic book characters and fantasy scenes, many featuring an elf princess based on his secret crush, Jennifer Adams.
What else besides pockets does the character use to carry things?
The teenagers, Alex and Roger, bring an A-Team backpack with them to carry their supplies for their time travel adventure.
Has anything in your character’s pockets ever gotten them in trouble?
At one point in 2021, the teenagers try to show their driver’s licenses for identification, but since the birthdates indicate they would be in their late 40’s, they are held by security for using fake I.D.’s.
Has anything in your character’s pockets ever saved the day?
Alex uses a plastic bag from his lunch to collect dog poop after he sees everyone in 2021 keeping their dog’s poop. He figures it must be valuable, but in the end it really doesn’t help him at all.

Bernadette Jones has been making up stories since she learned to read on her daddy’s lap. She has imagined casts of characters everywhere she’s called home: Texas, Oregon, Washington, South Dakota, Nebraska, Illinois, Massachusetts, and now New York.
Books and music filled her life as she, her dad and two brothers traveled the country. She would sit in the back seat of the car—her older brother always got to ride shotgun—listening to the current music on the radio, looking out the window and spinning a story based on a phrase she’d heard in the lyrics. As you can imagine, traveling the country, the music changed from state to state, as did the stories. To this day, she enjoys a wide variety of music and book genres.
After a career in corporate writing, she’s decided to settle down and put pen to paper doing what she loves. Living the dream in her NYC apartment with her canine companion, she’s bringing her stories and characters to life.

Fiction Furbaby: Meet Stormsinger from Ring of the Dragon by Kayelle Allen @RobsRescues #RLFblog #Pets
Meet Stormsinger from Ring of the Dragon
Full name: StormsingerGender: Male
Species: Dragon
Physical description: About 17ft high, 60ft wide, Has pearly white scales with teal blue trim around muzzle, wings, and feet.
Relationship to main character: Cross between best friend and spirit animal
Relationship to the villain/antagonist: Dinner. :)
Where this furbaby came from: The planet Stachien in the Colonies of Man, central part of the galaxy.
What does the main character think about this furbaby?
Pietas dreamed about this dragon for centuries before they met. He was there when the baby hatched from an egg, and Stormsinger bonded with him at birth.
How do other characters react to or interact with this furbaby?
Upon first seeing the dragon, most are in shock, but unless the person is an enemy, they are soon won over and delighted to meet him.
What does this furbaby add to the story?
In Ring of the Dragon, Stormsinger is the voice of reason at the beginning and end of the story.
What about this furbaby will readers like, and why?
Stormsinger has a sense of humor and is gentle and wise. He's also able to eat a literal horse, if hungry, but he tends to hunt less "necessary" animals like sheep and goats.
Please share an interesting fact or tidbit about this furbaby.
Stormsinger has a twin sister who is red with gold trim. Fireshade enjoys the simple things in life and much about humans evades her. She tends to see things in dragon terms. And she absolutely loved yellow apples. They don't grow on her homeworld, though, so whenever she visits Pietas, he makes sure to have a basket of them for her.
Describe a humorous incident involving the animal character.
Pietas was once in a serious fight, and because he and the dragon have a psychic link, the dragon recognized Pietas was in danger. At will, the two can trade places, even across vast and stellar distances. The dragon swapped places with Pietas and ate the enemy. However, when Stormsinger left, he'd been flying. Over the ocean. Guess where Pietas ended up?

Wrong Turn Christmas by Katy Eeten @KatyEeten #RLFblog #ChristmasRomance
A woman seeking legal advice ends up at the wrong house in Katy Eeten’s new contemporary romance, Wrong Turn Christmas. Can a Christmas in crisis be saved by one wrong turn?Katy, 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.
Wrong Turn Christmas by Katy Eeten
Genre – contemporary Christian romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG
April is desperate to eliminate her dad’s cancer bills so her family can enjoy the holidays. But, on her way to get legal assistance, she ends up at the wrong house. There, she finds a warm and caring soul… but a boyfriend won’t solve her family’s financial issues.
Jake is surprised to find a beautiful woman on his doorstep asking for help. It’s a case of mistaken identity, but after spending just a little time with April, he knows they are perfect for each other—even if she does have bad taste in football teams. Except April is facing an uphill battle, and he believes he has nothing of real value to offer. Or does he?
One wrong turn might just end up turning a Christmas crisis into a Christmas miracle.
What’s your favorite down-home family style meal?
I love pork chops with gravy, homemade mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole. Just like Mom makes.
What is your go-to meal when you dine out?
I’m not very adventurous, so I typically stick to hamburgers, BLTs, or Cuban sandwiches (my new fave). Yum!
What’s your favorite hashtag to watch on Twitter?
I don’t really watch for certain hashtags, but I do get a kick out of the Tonight Show’s “Hashtags” segment, so sometimes I’ll check out those for a giggle.
Describe the perfect vacation.
I like a variety of things in a vacation. The perfect mix would include equal parts of bumming around on the beach, hiking some beautiful national parks, and exploring the local haunts—monuments, museums, restaurants, shopping, etc. I love a combination of relaxation, beauty, exercise, and education.
Tell us about your favorite toy as a child.
I remember one family road trip when I was maybe 8-years-old when my parents bought a “Speak and Spell” for my brother, sister, and me. We must have played that thing nonstop for hours—it never got old (at least, not to us kids, ha!). After a while, I was even able to mimic the muffled, robotic voice and entertain my family long after the batteries died. Ah, memories.

Hi – I’m Ruth A Casie and I write historical and contemporary romance. You might be wondering what I’m about. Sit back and let me tell you.
I’m happiest when I’m telling stories either chatting in a group or writing them down. I love to put my hero and heroine in tough situations and dare them to work it out—together, always together. They haven’t disappointed. Oh, they complain but in the end their love and relationships are stronger than ever.
Here are five things you probably don’t know about me.
1. I filled my passport up in one year.
2. I have three series. The Druid Knight stories are a historical time travel series. The Stelton Legacy is historical fantasy about the seven sons of a seventh son. Havenport Romances are stories set in a small coast Rhode Island town. I also write stories in the connected world the Pirates of Britannia.
3. I did a rap to “How Many Trucks Can a Tow Truck Tow If a Tow Truck Could Tow Trucks.”
4. When I cook I dance.
5. My Sudoku book is in the bathroom. I’m not saying anything else about that.
My stories feature strong women and the men who deserve them, endearing flaws and all. Their stories will keep you turning the pages until the end. I hope my stories become your favorite adventures.
I’m a USA Today bestselling author.
