Interview with Rick Sanders
Thank you for agreeing to interview with us! Our readers would like to get to know you a bit better, and perhaps read the book your author wrote about you.
What is your favorite childhood memory?
Christmas morning. My younger brother and sister would tiptoe into my bedroom and shake me awake. One year my sister literally tugged my eyelid open, and whispered, “Is it time yet, Ricky?” We weren’t allowed to go downstairs and check out what Santa left until 6 am, and they didn’t know how to tell time, so it was all on me to get Christmas rolling. Our excitement increased once we smelled the coffee brewing because that meant it was close to six.
Now I realize my folks desperately needed that first cup before we came storming downstairs because they’d been up half the night wrapping our gifts and putting toys together.
What bad habits do you struggle to overcome?
I am a control freak. (sigh). I need to know what’s going on around me and have everything planned out. I prefer to act and not just mindlessly react. That’s not always a bad thing, but it kills spontaneity, which is. I guess I’m trying to be more of a go-with-the-flow kinda guy and enjoy surprises.
What smell or scent makes you feel safe?
Freshly brewed coffee definitely puts a smile on my face, but anything with cinnamon reminds me of home. As a kid, my home was my safe place. We didn’t always have a lot of extras, but I knew that no matter what, the people who lived there loved me.
What keeps you up at night?
Cops see a lot of scary stuff. Criminal actions make me angry – especially when the victim is a child or elderly. But what really worries me are vehicle accidents. Black ice, drunk drivers, and speeding are all things that can come out of nowhere and change someone’s life in an instant.
What was your proudest moment?
The way my karate students conducted themselves when they competed in their first state karate meet made me beam. One of our students made it to the final round, and every one of the other kids knelt, by rank no less, behind her in support. That showed me that the philosophy behind karate, and not just the physical aspect of the sport, had sunk in.
Who always makes you smile?
Piper makes me smile – most of the time, lol. I love her compassion and dedication to her students most of all. She’s incredible. I’m learning that it’s okay to let go a little because she always has my back. I know I can trust her.
What is the biggest turn on for you?
Confidence is a huge turn on for me. When a woman walks into a room and doesn’t worry about how expensive her clothes are, or if the diamond on her finger is the biggest, but looks people in the eye and is herself – that’s sexy.
Do you have pets?
We live in an apartment and pets aren’t allowed. But! The second we buy our own home, I want a big hairy monster of a dog! The kind that gives you big slobbery kisses when you get home and lets all the neighborhood kids pet him.

Is It True: Passionate Destiny by Dee S Knight @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #ParanormalRomance
In Dee S Knight’s paranormal erotic romance, Passionate Destiny, Aaron’s passion becomes his destiny–for the old house overlooking the river, and for the house’s new owner.Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Let’s play Is It True with today’s guest, Dee S Knight. This is a game with yes and no questions. Writers can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.
Passionate Destiny by Dee S Knight
Genre Contemporary paranormal erotic romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): XDr. Margaret Amis-Hollings, professor of women’s studies at a small New Jersey college, is a woman who confidently knows who she is and what she expects of life. Until she loses her teaching position, and her well-ordered life gets turned upside down. Then, in a subtle stroke of whimsy, fate tosses her a gift in an historic home and property in Virginia.
Harboring visions of Gone with the Wind, she determines to use River Peace as a temporary reprieve from her troubles. However, images of Tara quickly evaporate when she arrives to discover the reality of her inheritance.
River Peace has history, grace and style going for it. After only one night, Margaret discovers that it also has a ghost. She’s visited by a male spirit from the time of the War Between the States, who knows how to make a woman feel special. And very loved.
Aaron Belton meets Margaret when she first arrives in Virginia. He’s renowned for historic renovations on a multitude of properties, but he’s got a special place in his heart for River Peace. He and his family believe the property always should have belonged to them. In fact, Aaron will do almost anything to make that happen. When his passion for the house changes to a passion for the house’s owner, Aaron’s as surprised as anyone. Can he gain both, the woman and the house? To do so, he’ll have to face a spectral being.
And his own destiny.
Is it true:
this is your first book?
No. This was more like my fifth book when I wrote it.
this book is part of a series?
No, although when it came out it was suggested I add a sequel. That’s still bouncing around in my head.
you lost sleep while writing this book?
YES!!! I couldn’t get the darn thing written. Most of the time, words just flowed. But this stubborn book fought me every inch of the way. I finally set a firm deadline for myself and said if it wasn’t finished by then, I would put it aside. I finished with a couple of days to spare,
you did research for this book?
Not too much. The ghost lived during the American War Between the States and I had to do a little research around battles. But you can’t live in Virginia and not have learned a lot of that stuff. 😉
some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
No pets but a very loving ghost.
this book has more than one genre?
Yes. I usually write erotic romance, but this is paranormal, too.
you speak more than one language?
I’m lucky to be able to speak English! I’ve studied both German and French but I wouldn’t get further than “please” and “thank you” in either language.
you grew up where you live now?
Nope! Navy brat, but more than that, hubby and I have moved all over, first for his job and then for mine. I’m a very long way from where I grew up!
you love to read?
OMG!! If I don’t have a book, I read cereal boxes, ads, directions…something! Reading is like breathing.
you are never late?
I wouldn’t save never, but I am usually annoyingly early.
you love pizza?
YES!
you love sushi?
NO! When we lived in New Jersey, people always wanted to go out for a sushi lunch. They kept telling me that I’d get to love it. Never did.
you have a pet?
I wish I did but I don’t. For a good many years, our lives didn’t suit having a pet and now I guess we’re just not inclined. But I do love both cats and dogs.

A few years ago, Dee S Knight began writing, making getting up in the morning fun. During the day, her characters killed people, fell in love, became drunk with power, or sober with responsibility. And they had sex, lots of sex.
After a while, Dee split her personality into thirds. She writes as Anne Krist for sweeter romances, and Jenna Stewart for ménage and shifter stories. All three of her personas are found on the Nomad Authors website. And all three offer some of the best romance you can find!

Opening Night by Lisabet Sarai @LisabetSarai #RLFblog #NewRelease #MMHistoricalRomance
Lisabet Sarai’s MM romance Opening Night imagines a passionate love that defies Victorian mores. With the curtain going up on his new operetta in less than a week and a key cast member out of commission, comic genius William S. Gilbert must turn to dashing understudy Frank Wilson – and fight his disturbing attraction to the talented young man.Lisabet, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Opening Night.
Opening Night by Lisabet Sarai
Genre MM Historical Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): RLet your heart be your compass
It’s January 1887, a few days before the opening of the audacious new operetta “Ruddigore”. As if librettist William Gilbert doesn’t have enough to worry about, one of the D’Oyly Carte stars breaks his leg doing the horn pipe. Fortunately, the understudy Frank Wilson turns out to be immensely talented, as well as devilishly handsome. Wilson has set his heart on Gilbert – and he’s not going to be swayed from his course.
Why did you write this book?
When I was five years old, my parents took me to a performance of Gilbert and Sullivan songs. I’ve been a devoted fan ever since. This story, which I originally wrote for an anthology of queer alternative history, gave me the chance to imagine Gilbert’s and Sullivan’s world – and how a same-sex love affair might have turned it topsy-turvy.
What is your favorite genre to read?
This week LOL? Seriously, I read almost every genre. Indeed, in some ways I am anti-genre, since I view originality as one of my most important criteria in evaluating a book, so the fewer genre tropes an author employs, the better I like it.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
At the moment I’m steeped in the Victorian era, having just finished my Victorian steam punk trilogy The Toymakers Guild as well as Opening Night. So Sherlock Holmes definitely springs to mind, also Jane Eyre.
Depending on context, I might answer this question very differently the next time I am asked!
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m in the process of writing an erotic novella that links two of my fictional worlds. I also have an unfinished paranormal menage romance that has been sitting on my hard drive for a couple of years. I’m committed to completing that this year, hopefully in time for Halloween.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
In addition to the erotica novella mentioned above, I will be publishing new editions of several of my romances, including my popular paranormal romance The Eyes of Bast and my contemporary, multiracial menage tale Wild About that Thing.

Since then, she has penned plays, tutorials, scholarly articles, marketing brochures, software specifications, self-help books, press releases, a five-hundred page dissertation, and lots of erotica and erotic romance – over one hundred titles, and counting, in nearly every sub-genre—paranormal, scifi, ménage, BDSM, GLBT, and more. Regardless of the genre, every one of her stories illustrates her motto: Imagination is the ultimate aphrodisiac.
