    Coming soon: Just My Imagination by *lizzie starr @lizziestarr #RLFblog #FantasyRomance #ContemporaryRomanceFantasy and reality collide in *lizzie starr’s new fantasy/contemporary romance, Just My Imagination. Can his magic save her reality?

    *lizzie 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 Just My Imagination

    Just My Imagination by *lizzie starr

    Genre contemporary/fantasy romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): M

    Can his magic save her reality?

    Owner of the Keltic Ranch gift shop in Olde Town, Konnor MacDhuibh is skilled in forging fantasy blades and keeping his Faerie heritage and magical abilities a secret. But when Bonnie Zhang and her two doxies need a place to stay, the empty apartment above his store is the perfect solution. Being so close to the cautious woman with haunted eyes tosses his good intentions to the wind.

    Bonnie brings secrets of her own to Spencer. Leaving her broken past behind, she’s ready for a new beginning. But if her secret is exposed too soon, she could lose any hope for acceptance–and a family.

    Will their truths lead to love or destroy any hope they’ve forged?

    Meet Schnoozel and Ruatha from Just My Imagination

    Full name: Schnoozel and Ruatha Robinton

    Nickname: Schnoozel is usually Schnoozel but Ruatha is often called Rude

    Gender: Schnoozel is female, Ruie is male. Both are neutered.

    Species: miniature dachshunds

    Physical description: Schnoozel is a wirehaired. Ruatha is a smooth dapple and has one blue and one brown eye.

    Relationship to main character: Both dogs are owned and trained by Bonnie. They enjoy being therapy dogs, especially in nursing homes.

    Where this furbaby came from: Both are rescue doxies.

    Do you have any working or service animals in your stories? Tell us about them.

    Obviously, yes. Their owner, Bonnie, is hoping to find a position at Stick Pony, the new therapy riding camp in Spencer, to provide assistance to campers who may have or want to explore the possibility of therapy and companion animals. While doxies can be difficult to train, with their doxie stubbornness, these two are therapy dogs that to provide comfort, acceptance, and love. Their specialty is working with nursing home and memory care residents.

    What inspired you to create this character?

    I’ve been owned by three miniature doxies and adore the breed. Two of my doxies have crossed the rainbow bridge and this book is for them.

    How do other characters react to or interact with this furbaby?

    What’s not to love about a miniature doxie? Oh, there are some who aren’t dog lovers. A couple residents in the local nursing home declined visits, but for the most part people like to get down to their level for loves and licks. These two have wild wiggle-butts when they’re happy. However, when wearing their working vests, most people know to let them do their jobs. But watch out when the vests come off!

    What does this furbaby eat?

    A good quality dog food—in fact they eat better than their owner. For a treat, they’d do anything for French fries.

    What does this furbaby add to the story?

    Whether simply enhancing two people meeting or barking for help in an emergency, these two are excellent at bringing people together. How my characters treat and interact with the dogs shows off their true personalities and helps the reader get to know them.

    Please share an interesting fact or tidbit about this furbaby.

    In order for a doxie to be considered a dapple it only needs to have one tiny spot of another color. Any of the three coat types can be dapples.

    Fiction Furbaby: Meet Schnoozel and Ruatha from Just My Imagination by *lizzie starr @lizziestarr @RobsRescues #RLFblog #PetsAbout Lessa

    This 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.

    Lessa is my siblings’ mini-doxie—although since I share a house with them, she thinks I’m hers, too. She’s trained me well in fetching cookies for her. Lessa is an old girl, very gray about the muzzle and is slowing down. We’re not sure exactly how old she is—the rescue she came from didn’t know. She has beautiful eyes with darker fur around them so she looks like she’s wearing eyeliner.

    Which, if any of the pets in your writing are modeled after your own pets? In what way?

    I have a goal of honoring my animal friends in my books. Although the book’s Ruatha and Schnoozel are different in appearance (I gave them my wished for coats—although Ruie really did have one blue eye) much of their personality shines through on the pages. Another canine family member that has shown up in most of my Keltic books is by brother’s dog, Noid. Big old goofy lab/chow mix. Noid is a hero many times over.

    What’s the most unusual pet you ever had?

    Hmm. My husband loved unusual pets. We had hissing cockroaches for awhile. They really are quite interesting.

    Where did you find your pet?

    Animals in my household come from a rescue or shelter—except for Schnoozel. He came from a breeder.

    *lizzie always made up games and stories to keep her company. So, a cunning witch lived in Grampa’s weather research station and was only held at bay by waving a certain weed. An ancient road grader morphed into a boat carrying wild adventurers to islands filled with fierce lions and dangerous cannibals, which really looked a lot like sheep.

    Now filled with fantasy, love, and romance with a sparkling twist, the stories of her imagination swirl their way into the mundane world.

    *lizzie recently retired from her more routine life of being *the Lunch Lady* at a private school. According to the kids, she was ‘the best cooker!’ Yes, she misses the students and teachers, but is delighted now to start her days by telling stories rather than opening cases of chicken nuggets and counting milk cartons.

    Her tagline of Author and lunch lady~~what a combination! no longer holds true (which makes her sad because she really liked that one).

    Rudrabaan by Nitya Neelakantan

    Genre Mythology Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Shruthakeerthi Urs aka. Shruti is the client from hell. Jaideep Rai is the hot new event planner who bring out the shrew in Shruti. Tempers fly and egos clash even as they attempt to work together on an event.

    Fate brings them face to face again when they both sign up for the same Jungle Challenge adventure, traversing the mountains and forests of the Western Ghats of India. Forced to work together they snarl and spar at every given chance, refusing to admit that they may be hankering for something amorous with the other…a simmering undercurrent of passion!

    And what happens when one of them is cursed? Can they put aside their differences and come together to break a curse that has sounded the death knell for generations of one of their families? Amidst surprise revelations, mystic mendicants, and repressed memories, can the two work out the pieces of the puzzle that can break the curse?

    Will Shruti and Jaideep survive this epic adventure and find love, or will they remain ships passing in the night…

    Rudrabaan is an adventure filled story peppered with magical realism and hued with some regular hate to love drama.

  • Bucket List,  Fantasy

    Bucket List of Brenna from Valkyrie Love by Viviana MacKade @ViviMackade #RLFblog #Fantasy

    Bucket list of Brenna from Valkyrie Love @ViviMackade #RLFblog #FantasyA Valkyrie, alone but free and a lost soldier craving redemption team up to save the last hope of the Elvin race, baby queen Fljóða. Feelings don’t belong on such an endeavor. Or to Valkyries. But like a stubborn flower, love grows in dirt.

    Only one problem: now love is deadly.

    Let’s meet Brenna from Valkyrie Love. Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Valkyrie Love.

    Valkyrie Love by Viviana MacKade

    Genre Fantasy

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG 13

    Valkyrie love never comes easy.

    Brenna left Asgard with a curse on her name and a broken heart.

    A Valkyrie now free and independent, for millennia her life had been great. Just great.

    Then a bleeding Elf knocks at her door holding a baby.

    Alexander Reed left the Marines and lost the wheel of his life.

    A soldier without a worthy fight, he became everything he despised.

    Until he ends up in the wrong backyard at the wrong time.

    Fljóða, Queen of the Light Elves and last of her lineage, is an infant with a death sentence on her head.

    Hunted by the Night Elves, her survival brings Brenna and Reed together for the ultimate mission: take the little Queen to safety in the Vanaheim Realm, deep in the Roots of Yggdrasil.

    Not simple, but straightforward.

    Or so it seemed.

    Between flaming giants, demons, and an army of Half Breed determined to kill the Queen and conquer all the Elvin Realms, Brenna and Reed will have to face their inner monsters.

    Monsters appearing in the form of feelings neither want but cannot control.

    Brenna’s Bucket List

    Bucket list of Brenna from Valkyrie Love @ViviMackade #RLFblog #FantasyWhen someone dies, we say they “kicked the bucket.” Therefore, a list of things that a person wants to accomplish, places to go, situations to experience, and so on have become known as a “Bucket List.”

    Age: (Chuckles) Let’s just say I haven’t been green for a very long time.

    Gender: Female.

    Birthplace: Asgard.

    Profession: Reed and I run a centre that helps veterans to be reintroduced in civilian life.

    Ethnicity: Not sure if Scandinavian is an ethnicity.

    Please provide a physical description of yourself.

    I’m tall, and stronger than your average female. Black hair, long and ofter kept in a braid, and light blue eyes.

    Please tell us a little about yourself.

    I’m a Valkyrie. Or maybe I should say I used to be one. I had a long time to amass money, so when Reed met me I was taking some security job here and there, to stove off boredom. Then the war in the Roots started, and here we are. It gave me a completely different life.

    Who is the significant other in your life?

    Reed. Alexander Reed.

    If you haven’t made a bucket list before, perhaps now would be a good time. Who knows? It might inspire another book. While you’re at it, how about telling us about some of your other favorite things? Here are the questions.

    What is your birth order?

    We, me and my Valkyrie sisters, were all created at the same time.

    Tell us about your favorite toy as a child.

    I’ve never had a childhood. I was. Created an adult.

    Describe your favorite food and how it’s prepared.

    I love Mexican food, the hotter the better.

    Tell us about your best friend.

    Reed is. I used to believe my sisters were my best friends, but I was betrayed by one and the others did nothing to help me so…. When I moved to Midgard, I had to keep moving – people tend to notice if you don’t age. Why bother making friends not only I knew I had to live, but I knew I would see die?

    What are two places you would like to visit before you die, and why?

    I visited every stupid corner of this pretty planet. I know the Root of Yggdrasil enough to travel it. I lived in Asgard. There’s literally nowhere I didn’t see. SO now I just want to stay in the home I built with Reed, see it growing, getting old in it. I want to see time pass and knowing I won’t have to go.

    Where is a place you would never like to return, and why?

    Muspelheim. Technically, Nifelheim is worse, but I still have nightmares about Muspelheim. And

    Who is someone you would like to meet, and why?

    I stumbled upon a piece of poetry by Shonto Begay, a piece about an old woman who has seen many winter. It spoke to me. I have seen so, so many. I’d like to talk to hi, see what inspired him to write it.

    If you could time travel to any date, what would it be, and what would you do there?

    I’d go back and meet Reed’s parents, who passed away a few years back.

    Meet Viviana MacKade

    What was your biggest challenge in writing this book?

    Keeping within the rules I created for each realm. Each was different, and my characters had to deal with each based on its rules. Keeping all the details straight was complicated, sometimes.

    Why did you choose this character for the interview today?

    Because neither she nor Reed wanted to do it, but she lost at Rock, Paper, Scissors.

    When writing the book, what did you discover about this character that surprised you?

    How lonely Brenna had been.

    Are any sequels planned for this book?

    Maybe. Ulf, the Captain of the Vanir’s army is an interesting guy, And so is Mae.

    What genre(s) would you like to write that you haven’t tried yet?

    I’m good, honestly. I write in contemporary, and this was my first Fantasy.

    What would your readers be surprised to learn about you?

    Why should readers who haven’t picked up one of your books before give this one a try?

    Because they are all adventures where characters don’t spend 53 pages going over the same thought, are not too stupid lo live, and things make sense. They are also all fast faced, no lagging in boredom. I’m always in a hurry as a person, and I think it’s reflected in my style as well.

    Meet Eileen Troemel @EileenTroemel Author of Marelo #RLFblog #FantasyRomance

    Meet Eileen Troemel @EileenTroemel Author of Marelo #RLFblog #Fantasy RomanceHidden dragons offer advice in Eileen Troemel’s sweet fantasy romance Marelo. A promise to her father drives Marelo to succeed putting aside all other desires. Bandor studies the determined female who he knows to be his mate. What will convince her they are meant to be together?

    Eileen, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Marelo.

    Marelo by Eileen Troemel

    Thank you for allowing me to join you. Marelo is a short story about a female studying water dragons and what made them disappear. She comes to Bandor’s beach, the last known place to have one spotted. Bandor knows she’s his mate but he’s willing to wait. His best advisor tells him it’s not as complicated as he’s making it.

    Genre

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG – if this were a movie your toddlers could be in the room.

    Marelo studies water dragons. Bandor studies her heart.

    Driven to succeed, Marelo focuses on her studies. She doesn’t have time for males claiming her as a mate. She came here to study the dragon’s ancestral home. She will find the evidence she needs while avoiding all males especially Bandor who makes her heart rush.

    Bandor takes one look at Marelo and knows she’s his mate. Her haughty demeaner doesn’t put him off. She’s his mate, he’ll do anything to win her. But he has secrets only his mate can know. Can he convince her to be his mate or will it take something more?

    Tell us about yourself as a person.

    What makes you different from other people?

    Not a lot really. I think people at their core want the same things. You probably didn’t want a philosophical answer. Well two things come to mind off the top of my head – I have red hair which is not common and I was born on Leap Year so technically I’ve only had 14 birthdays

    What is your personality type?

    I’m an introvert. I like to watch people but I don’t necessarily want to be in the thick of things. I’m more likely to write about what I’ve seen than I am to hold a conversation with others. However, as my family knows I love to talk to the right people.

    What was your favorite childhood game?

    Hmm well I grew up on a farm and board games were rare. We played a card game named Racko which was fun. With six kids we played baseball and we had a sort of tag game we played. We had a silver fuel tank in our yard and that was goal. One person would hide around the house and people would run around the house. If you were caught by the person, you had to help catch people. Last one standing one.

    What is your favorite subject to talk about?

    I like to have meaningful conversations, topic doesn’t matter and it doesn’t matter if we agree (in most cases) so long as we both walk away from the conversation having heard the other person’s opinion.

    What is your favorite book?

    Theirs is no way I could narrow the many books I’ve read down to just one favorite one. Even if you gave me a genre I couldn’t narrow the category to one. Some of my favorite authors – Piers Anthony, JD Robb/Nora Roberts, Suzanne Brockmann, Anne McCaffery, Mercedes Lackey, Patricia Wrede, JK Rowling, Louis Lamour, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Shakespeare, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, ee cummings, Ray Bradbury…. See what I mean?

    What is your favorite meal?

    Depends on who’s cooking… my husband – his lasagna… my oldest daughter – beef stroganoff… my middle daughter – chicken carbonara… my youngest daughter – tacos… I miss my mother’s ham and scalloped potatoes and her halo cookies…

    Meet Eileen Troemel @EileenTroemel Author of Marelo #RLFblog #Fantasy Romance

    Tell us about yourself as a writer.

    What made you want to be a writer?

    I cannot remember a time when I didn’t tell stories. My parents always called me imaginative. At eight a teacher asked us to write stories and from there, I knew I needed to write.

    What are your favorite books for writing advice?

    I’m not big on books about writing – probably because I don’t like people telling me how to write. I am very good at taking criticism and self-critiquing my own work. But for books here’s two which I found helpful for when I write sexy books:

    Naughty Words for Nice Writers by Cara Bristol & The Sexaurus Sexy Words for Writers by Stefanie Olson et al

    What are your favorite reference books?

    A good modern big dictionary and a really good thesaurus – both will get you through a rough draft.

    When you go to a convention, what kinds of things do you take along?

    In addition to writing, I’m crafty too as are my daughters. So my daughters made me bags with a crossword puzzle style graphic of my book titles, water bottles with my logo, bookmarks, resin dragons and other critters, pouches with graphics designed by my daughters. I like to offer a variety so it will appeal to a variety of people.

    What’s your best advice for a new writer?

    Write your story. Don’t worry about anything other than getting the story down on paper. Read through it when you’re done and take off your writer’s cap and put on your reader’s cap. Would you want to read this? Where do you stumble? What do you want more of? Ask others – nicely – to read your stuff and LISTEN to them. If they actually tell you something other than how great it is, pay attention. Ultimately you’re the author but listen to what you’re told and consider adjusting. Everything – no matter how bad – can be fixed in editing.

    What are your writing goals for the next year or so?

    In 2022, I plan to publish Marelo in February, Celtan Dilemma in June, Star Stranded (working title) in the fall and at some point between Halloween and Christmas – Bah Humbug will get published. I have two crochet patterns I hope to publish soon.

    Looking forward from there, I have completed two novels. I hope complete some projects I’m working on including re-editing a few of my first books and sequels to a few books.

    Read The Solitary King the new #fantasy by Lyndsey Hall @lyndseyhall #RLFblog #YAfantasyAria returns to the Fair Realm with deadly consequences, in Lyndsey Hall’s new fantasy, The Solitary King. Will her new found abilities save her from the Celeste King’s clutches, or will the prince who betrayed her come to her rescue?

    Lyndsey, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about The Solitary King.

    The Solitary King by Lyndsey Hall

    Genre: YA fantasy

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13

    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice…

    When Aria returns to the Fair Realm to attend a ball at the Salamander castle, it isn’t long before things take a turn for the deadly.

    With her father’s home in ashes and her newfound family reduced to dust, Aria finds herself King Auberon’s captive once more. Deep within the mountains that border the Celeste Kingdom, Aria is powerless to fight back, her newly-discovered abilities suppressed by the weight of the rock that surrounds her. But when a Celeste guard whispers about rebellion and promises to help her escape, Aria is desperate to trust him.

    Crown Prince Xander returns home to the Gnome castle, laden with grief for his brother and father, and dreading the day he will be crowned king. Preparations are underway for his marriage and coronation, but thoughts of the girl he betrayed trouble him day and night. Until the morning of his wedding, when a note arrives that Aria has been taken by Auberon once more, and Xander is forced to choose between his life of duty and obedience, and what he believes is right.

    Why did you write this book?

    When we got our dog, Bailey, I used to walk her in our local woods. We were living in a village on the edge of Sherwood Forest at the time, and the magic and legend of the place captured my imagination. The setting for The Fair Chronicles came to me first, as it’s based on that village and the surrounding forests, but as the characters started to pop into my mind I felt like I had to explore their story, and so The Fair Queen was born. But the story wasn’t over yet, I needed to know what happened next.

    What is your favorite genre to read?

    I love reading fantasy and fairy tale retellings, especially young adult, as I find the emotions and angst of teen characters to be deliciously heightened, and the themes and message are no less dark or serious than adult novels.

    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?

    Kaz Brekker from Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo is one of my favourite characters, as he’s so complex. On the surface he’s a cruel and sadistic villain, but underneath he’s a broken, vulnerable man with a terrible backstory and a love he knows can never be.

    What are you working on at the moment?

    I’m currently working on a couple of short stories for charity anthologies. One Fair Eve is a goblin king origin story set in the 19th Century, in the same world as The Fair Chronicles. And Baroness of Blood and Bone is an urban fantasy story about the female alpha of a pack of wolf shifters. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever written and I’m really excited to share it.

    What books will we see from you in coming months?

    The second in my Fair Chronicles trilogy comes out on 31 January 2022, and then I’m involved in a collection of twenty short fantasy stories called Once Upon a Name, which is due out 20 April and is raising money for Book Aid International. On 1 July, another charity collection, Enchanted Forests will be released, raising funds for the Rainforest Alliance. And towards the end of the year, I’m hoping to publish the third and final book in my current series!

    On the night of the Double Moon a child is born, and the destinies of an acolyte and a rebel are changed forever.

    Jermanah, acolyte of the religious Compound, has never been given the opportunity to make her own choices. Although she accepts her way of life and yearns to rise higher in the order, she learns ancient, forbidden healing from the Seer. On the night of the

    Double Moons, a child is born and given into Jermanah’s care until the boy is taken to the king.

    Kierigh was born moments before the rising of the Double Moons, but his twin brother wasn’t so lucky. Rumors flow from the Stronghold—following an ancient prophecy, the king sacrifices the baby boys to increase his power. But Kierigh senses that even after five cycles, his brother still lives.

    When Kierigh’s rebels attack the procession, he takes the babe, and Jermanah, to his hidden camp. The captivating acolyte disrupts Kierigh’s ordered and simple life. He opposes her religion and all the Compound claims to stand for. She’s everything he doesn’t need in his life. Yet she is everything he desires.

    No longer considering herself one of the Compound, Jermanah discovers freedom, and truths she finds difficult to believe. But when the babe is taken from the forest, she will do anything to save the child, including face the leader of the Compound—and the king.

    *lizzie starr always made up games and stories to keep her company. So, a cunning witch lived in Grampa’s weather research station and was only held at bay by waving a certain weed. An ancient road grader morphed into a boat carrying wild adventurers to islands filled with fierce lions and dangerous cannibals, which really looked a lot like sheep. When her 6th grade teacher read to the class, *lizzie discovered the knights of old, Hobbits, and traveling through space and time. Her first written tales delved into fantasy worlds, and she passed many literature classes by handing in stories instead of essays.
    Even though she’d turned up her nose at her mother’s love stories, long night shifts at a nursing home drew her to the facility’s library. There she discovered that romance made tales of fantasy and science fiction more delightful, and the focus of her writing expanded.
    Filled with fantasy, love, and romance with a sparkling twist, the stories of her imagination swirl their way into the mundane world and into her reader’s hearts.
    When *lizzie must return to a more routine life, she’s *the Lunch Lady* at a private school. Author and lunch lady~~what a combination!
