A Place Where Anything Can Happen @liviaquinn #RLFblog #UrbanFantasy
Come to a place where anything can happen… with Livia Quinn.
Author Bio
Livia Quinn is a D.C. native living in Louisiana. She’s written ten books in her Storm Lake series, both paranormal and contemporary romance. “It’s like a mini-vacation from the real world.” “Walk don’t run to the buy button” her readers have said. Come to a place where anything can happen…Storm Crazy, A Storm Lake Novel
Title Storm Crazy
Genre Paranormal
Author Livia Quinn
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
I’m Tempest Pomeroy, and my human job is delivering the mail. To say I was having a bad day would be like saying Katrina dropped a little rain on New Orleans. First, River’s amphora went missing—that’s genie bottle to you mere-mortals. I know— the names right? We were just lucky we didn’t end up as Black Cloud and Little Sprinkle. Or Flash and Flood. With my hair, I’d have been Flash. I’m also a Paramortal like the rest of my family. Or I’m supposed to be. If it wasn’t for a few little talents I’d think I was adopted.
On my first delivery, a scantily clad doctor triggered a hallucination when we touched. Pheromones? An old trouble-maker had a stroke but I saved the old fart with a zap of my Zeus juice! It was the first time I’d actually called my power on purpose, and our hunky new sheriff almost saw me use my magic—big no-no. He showed up again when the owner of Flowers by Dick complained that I’d dropped a seventy-five pound box on his foot. Yeah, I did, but it was an accident. He put his hand on my butt and my hands sorta… slipped. Then things really went downhill.
I discovered a dead body while rescuing River’s bottle from a locker as the sheriff arrived again. Now, my brother’s missing, my mother’s AWOL and the sheriff and my ex-lover are squaring off like yard dogs staking a claim on a poodle. I am no one’s poodle. Aurora says all this chaos is a sign of my quickening power and things are only going to get worse.
Oh, and the sheriff? He thought he’d settled in a normal small town to raise his teenage daughter. Like Mayberrry. We’ll see how that turns out. Things had better settle down soon, ‘cause I’m about to go Storm Crazy.Buy the Book

They’re heroes who care…
Hard Days Knight is Free!! Ex-Navy officer Luc Larue knows how it looks when the sexy cop and her partner respond to a silent alarm at the grocery where he stopped for a six-pack. Luc’s job with KPI requires certain…attire and equipment.
The tall, dark and deadly looking mercenary Delilah Burke confronts at the robbery scene is sexy as sin, and apparently “saved the day”. Is he a hero or a crook? The guy seems too good to be true.

Ridge considers himself the consummate decision maker, wearing many hats—inventor, Ranger, mentor, CEO. So how had he wound up on stage in nothing but his trousers and tie beside two covermodels before a hundred women screaming at him to take it off. What seemed like a recipe for harmless fun could turn into his worst nightmare – one curious CEO follows a gorgeous redhead onto the wrong floor. Add a hundred romance writers attending a conference. Toss in some false assumptions, throw out a lifetime of good behavior and Ridge is up to his Special Forces tattoo in manure.Merry Christmas, Baby It’s a weekend full of love. Larue social media is all a twitter at the return of their hometown movie idol, Ducane Beauregard Larue at the only place to celebrate Christmas eve, the Romanos’. Nothing could make Buffy happier than delivering some surprises and helping the people she loves find love. A Christmas eve miracle confirms what she already knows – with a little nudge, all her love ones’ happily ever-afters will happen in the not so distant future.

Winter’s Quest a new #UrbanFantasy by @annekane #RLFblog
This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces the story.About the Author
Anne Kane lives in the beautiful Okanagan Valley with a bouncy Jack Russell terrier, a cantankerous Himalayan cat, a bossy little calico and too many fish to count. She spent many years trying to fit in and act normal, but finally gave up the effort. She started writing romance, and her fate was sealed when she won a publishing contract with Red Sage Publishing and just a month later Changeling Press accepted her first submission. Since then she had published more than thirty stories in a variety of sub-genres, all with a happily ever after.Her hobbies, when she’s not playing with the characters in her head, include kayaking, hiking, motorcycles, swimming, skating, karate, playing guitar, singing and of course, reading.Interview with Anne Kane
Why did you write this book?I wrote this book for the sake of my sanity. Winter’s Quest is the fourth book in the Mercenaries Series. The hero and heroine met in the previous book and had been nagging me to write their story for over a year. I finally gave in just to get some peace and quiet!What is your favorite genre to read?That’s a tough question, but I’d have to say paranormal romance, closely followed by Urban Fantasy and Science Fiction. I’m really not much of a fan of reality JWho is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?Not my own? Darn! Okay, it’s a toss up between Elena from Kelley Armstrong’s Women of the Otherworld series and Patricia Brigg’s Mercy Thompson.What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?I have two projects on the go at the moment. One is a full length novel that I started for NanoWrimo last year. I made the 50,000 word count, but the story isn’t finished yet. I’m also working on another installment of the Mercenaries Series which should be out late summer or early in the fall.Please tell us about your latest book.Trace wants Winter, and he’s not a man to take no for an answer.Winter remembers all about the insanity of life as a lab rat, but what she doesn’t know is how she got there. Given the mess she’d made out of her life up to this point, she needs to find the answers to her past before she can get on with her future.Trace isn’t sure why Winter is so hung up on her past but if she plans on chasing all over the nine provinces looking for answers then it’s up to him to make sure she stays safe. And, while they’re spending all that quality time together, maybe he can convince her that he’s more than just a convenient sex partner.About the Book

Double Feature: Anything Can Happen with @liviaquinn #RLFblog #UrbanFantasy
Come to a place where anything can happen… with Livia Quinn.Author Bio

Genre Science Fiction, Sword and Sorcery, Paranormal, Urban FantasyBook heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13He’s looking for normal, but has he found Mayberry or Middle Earth?Isn’t it just like a man to exit a relationship when he finds out a woman has a few little secrets? The last time I’d seen Sheriff Jack Lang, he got his first glimpse of my Paramortal “talents” – a few measly bolts of lightning aimed at his – in his general direction.I’ve denied my heritage as a Tempestaerie for nineteen years, but now my brother River, a Djnni like our father, is missing. Sheriff Lang is finally on board with our search for River but time is running out. In the course of the investigation we’ve gone from attraction to suspicion, support to friendship, romance to oh-my-god-get-away-from-me revulsion.Jack’s an ex-Navy pilot. He says he wants to know “everything”. My ex-lover, Dylan McGuinness, says after we answer Jack’s questions, he’ll either join us, or grab his daughter and take the first jet out of Middle Earth. Jack may stick around, help me save my brother and discover the whereabouts of my parents, but I doubt he’ll still want to take me to the Mardi Gras ball, once he knows “everything”. There’s a lot of everything…Amazon http://amzn.to/1RW3L6T
