    Earth in 2093 by Edna Curry @Edna_Curry #RLFblog #RomanticSuspense #ScifiEdna Curry, 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.

    Earth in 2093 by Edna Curry

    Genre a futuristic romantic suspense novel

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13

    The year is 2093 and everyone’s DNA is recorded in the World Database run by a now powerful United Nations. Crime is way down, since criminals are easily identified. Food is plentiful because water from the oceans is desalinated for irrigation of former deserts. Power is also plentiful and cheap, harnessed from the sun and wind.
    But there are always a few people who resent governments of any kind and think they can do as they please. One is now raping and killing young women and Dave and Nell work to identify and stop him. But they find that easier said than done.

    QUICK

    Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?…
    Yes. I’ve written contemporary romance, romantic suspense, historical romance and futuristic romance novels. I’ve also written a variety of short stories and non-fiction articles for national magazines.
    How do you come up with ideas?…
    I don’t know. They seem to just pop up and evolve in my mind. For example, this story was inspired by getting my own DNA test done and made me wonder how life would be different if everyone’s DNA was recorded in a World Database. And since most of my stories seem to include mystery, it seemed logical to include that in a story.
    What is the single most important part of writing for you?…
    Making up characters and then a story for them. The fun part is imagining what if? And thinking about the various ways the story could go. What would happen if this happened? Or how would it change if that happened instead? And so on and on.
    When did you write your first book?…
    Somewhere in the early 80s. Though I’d published short stories before that.

    Perfectly Honest (Perfectly Series #1) by Linda O’ConnorFree Book by Linda O'Connor #FreeBookFriday #RLFblog

    You never know where your words will take you…
    When Mikaela Finn agreed to be Sam’s “fiancee” for a weekend, she probably should have told him that she’s a doctor. Sam O’Brien, aka “Dr Eye Candy”, is trying to shed his playboy reputation and convince a small town hospital that he’s ready to settle down. But when his ‘fiancée’ helps deliver a baby in the middle of the meet and greet, it’s a bit of a shock. If he’d known the whole truth, he might have done things a little differently because somehow his “fiancee” ends up stealing his job and his heart. Not exactly the change he wanted.
    Lies and deceit – it’s a match made in heaven!

    Free Book by Liese Sherwood-Fabre  #FreeBookFriday #RLFblogThe Life and Times of Sherlock-Holmes (#2) by Liese Sherwood-Fabre

    Return, once again, to 1895…
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle references many everyday Victorian activities and elements of daily life that are lost on the twenty-first century reader. These short essays provide further understanding of nineteenth-century England and insight into the tales of Sherlock Holmes. With greater appreciation of such details as the significance of the blue ribbon, the role of doss houses for the poor, or how one contracted brain fever, Holmes’s cases take on a deeper meaning.
    Explore such topics as the Victorian pastimes of horse racing, boxing, and train travel; how the role of women changed with the introduction of the bicycle and typewriter; and common pleasures such as visiting pubs or drinking tea. The reader steps back to the London of 1895 and the realm of the world’s most famous consulting detective.
    “We have…always found [Dr. Sherwood-Fabre’s] essays to be both entertaining and informative as well as very well researched.”

    Is It True: Shift of Destiny (Ice Age Shifters #2) by Carol Van Natta #RLFblog #Paranormal

    Is It True: Shift of Destiny (Ice Age Shifters #2) by Carol Van Natta #RLFblog #ParanormalWelcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Let’s play Is It True with today’s guest, Carol Van Natta, author of Shift of Destiny (Ice Age Shifters Book 2), a paranormal. This is a game with yes and no questions. Writers can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.

    Shift of Destiny (Ice Age Shifters #2) by Carol Van Natta

    Genre Paranormal
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    There is no such thing as magic, or sexy shifters. Or… is there?
    Moira Graham’s car breaks down in the tourist town of Kotoyeesinay, Wyoming. She’s on the run. Again. A crazy billionaire wants to possess her ability to predict the future, but it’s not a “gift.” It’s simple guesswork. Magic doesn’t exist. And this quirky town—which uses elves, fortune tellers, and fairy-tale gimmicks to draw tourists in—isn’t helping.
    Roving carpenter Chance McKennie is a prehistoric shifter on the lookout for a mate. Unfortunately, people fear his lion, and don’t stick around long enough to get to know the man. He thought his luck would change in Kotoyeesinay, but his skills aren’t needed in this magical sanctuary town with creatures of myth and legend on every block.
    When Moira bumps into him, she’s almost willing to believe in the magic of this place. But it’s going to take more than a red-hot handyman and some glowy lights to save her from ruthless hunters.
    Chance is determined to protect his mate and help her find the magic in her blood. But even a top predator can’t guess the lengths to which a desperate billionaire will go to get what he wants.

    Is it true:

    this is your first book?
    No, it’s my, uh… <quickly visits Amazon to count> eleventh book. I’m very bad at tracking numbers (don’t ask how old I am, because I’ll have to calculate it each time, and I might do the math wrong). Shift of Destiny is my third paranormal romance, and more are on the way. I also have a space opera series that starts with Overload Flux.
    this book is part of a series?
    Yes, it’s true! The Ice Age Shifters series features action, magic, and of course, romance. And sexy prehistoric shifters who find their mates. The first book is Shifter Mate Magic, set in 1993. Shift of Destiny, book 2, is set in present day, and involves more of the magical sanctuary town that was introduced in book 1.
    you lost sleep while writing this book?
    No, I don’t tend to lose sleep about writing books. My cats are the main culprit for sleep loss, what with starting epic battles, or licking noses or fingertips, or trying to get under the covers, or pushing the resident mad scientist off the bed entirely so they get the warm spot.
    you did research for this book?
    Yes, I do research for all my books because I love learning new things. I made the sleep-deprived resident mad scientist drive me to the southern Wyoming mountains so I could take pictures for where the sanctuary town is, and I have lots of reference photos and articles for extinct Ice Age animals. Also, too, I researched the Tunguska event, Tarot cards, and 1920’s residential house architecture.
    some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
    Yes, quite a few of the characters in Shift of Destiny are not human. In addition to a sexy male who turns into a prehistoric lion, there’s a polar fairy (not to be confused with their mortal enemies, the arctic elves), an ogre, a golem, a dark elf, a wraith, plus shifters galore. The sanctuary town is a safe place for all sorts of magical creatures.
    this book has more than one genre?
    Yes, if you count “paranormal” and “romance” as separate. I automatically assume all paranormal stories are romance unless someone tells me otherwise. Someday, I plan to write a paranormal space fantasy romance, to cover all the bases at once. ?
    you speak more than one language?
    Yes, sort of. I can get by in Spanish, but I don’t have anyone to practice with, so my vocabulary has melted away. I have a good ear for accents, so I can *sound* like I’m fluent in most languages, but this gets me in trouble when people assume I’m not just repeating a string of sounds.
    you grew up where you live now?
    No, but close. I grew up in Denver, went to Austin, TX and Los Angeles, CA for college, then moved back to Colorado, but 70 miles north of Denver in Fort Collins. It’s a pretty good place to live, all in all.
    you love to read?
    Hell, yes. As with many of my author friends, I don’t have as much time for reading as I’d like, because I’m usually writing, but I dearly love to read. I’m planning a few vacation days in September where my main activity will be tackling the virtual Mount Everest that is my TBR pile.
    you are never late?
    Yes, it’s true, I’m rarely late, and am usually early. This does not count acts of nature (e.g., the recent downpour that temporarily flooded our streets), acts of humans (some the idiot who to beat the light and caused an accident), or acts of cat (“look at me—I’m free, and you can’t catch me!”).
    you love pizza?
    I’d say I merely like pizza—it’s not something I’d eat every week, even if it was a white pizza with ham and pineapple. I would go for Chinese or Indian food every week if I could.
    you love sushi?
    Yes, I do, but I’m picky about what’s in it—no cucumbers, no avocado, no nothing spicy-hot, so it’s hard to find in the comparatively small town where I live.
    you have a pet?
    Yes, I have six cats. I know, I know, it makes us the crazy cat people down the street, but it’s what the cat gods gave us. Five of our cats (two gray, two striped, one Tonkinese who is the Empress of the Universe) are rescues, and all six are as eccentric as can be. Sort of like us, actually, so we can’t really blame them.

    Sweet Beginnings by Melissa McClone @melissamcclone #RLFblog #NewRelease #sweetromanceMelissa McClone, 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.

    Sweet Beginnings by Melissa McClone

    Genre Sweet contemporary romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): G
    A little hope changes everything…
    Artist Hope Ryan dreams of seeing her artwork displayed in top galleries again, but a devastating betrayal left her unable to paint as she once did. Instead, she settles for creating unique items for tourists and wedding couples in her hometown. Although Hope longs for more, she refuses to venture outside her comfort zone, fearing the heartbreak and disappointment of failing again.
    Highly paid sportscaster Josh Cooper never overcame his bitterness after an injury on the football field sidelined him for good. Finding his solace in alcohol and women only made matters worse until he finally hit rock bottom. Now, he’s looking for redemption. When he’s asked to fly a wedding gown across the country for one of the victims of his wrongs, he doesn’t hesitate.
    Arriving in Indigo Bay, Josh finds himself captivated by the artist creating the wedding favors. He knows exactly what he wants—Hope—even though she deserves someone better. Can Josh prove he’s more than a broken has-been? Or will he not only lose Hope but also lose himself?
    Why did you write this book?
    While I was writing another book Jenny, part of the Beach Brides series, I couldn’t stop thinking about Josh Cooper, a secondary character who had a really bad first date with Jenny. Although that’s only mentioned briefly, I wanted to know more about Josh and his struggles. When I was given the opportunity to write for the Indigo Bay Sweet Romance series, Josh popped back into my head. I wanted to tell his story and knew Indigo Bay was the perfect world to do that.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I love reading sweet contemporary romance. I think that’s why I love to write it.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    The Stand by Stephen King is my favorite novel so I’d have to say Nick Andros, with a couple other characters from that story coming in a close second and third.
    What are you working on at the moment?
    I’m working on a Christmas story that will be out in mid-October. It’s not part of any of my series so it’s been fun creating a new town and introducing the residents who live there.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    The Wedding Lullaby will be out in late September. That’s the second book in my new One Night to Forever series. The Christmas book will be out in October. The third book in my new series will be out in November. Still working on a title for that one.

    The President's Wife by Seelie Kay @SeelieKay #RLFblog #thriller #conspiracySeelie Kay, 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.

    The President’s Wife by Seelie Kay

    Genre: erotic, contemporary romance, mystery, thriller
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    What happens when one of your best friends, the First Lady of the newly democratic Republic of Lodatia, appears to be an imposter? If you’re criminal defense attorney Julianna Constant, you pursue the truth like a rabid dog, then wage a battle to save your friend’s life.
    When criminal defense attorney Julianna Constant travels to Washington, D.C. to join her former college roommate, Marella de la Aerelli, in celebrating her husband’s election as the first president of the newly democratic Republic of Lodatia, she is met with an unpleasant surprise. Her friend of almost 30 years not only looks unwell, she is cold and distant. After Julianna becomes convinced the woman is really an imposter, she attempts to expose the faux Marella by using a secret only she, Marella, and the sitting U.S. President share. In the process, Julianna helps to uncover an international conspiracy to seize control of the new country, using the president’s wife as a pawn in a dangerous and potentially deadly game. Will Marella be rescued before a coup takes place? Or will she become collateral damage in one tiny nation’s fight to be free?
    Why did you write this book?
    All the news stories about Russia’s alleged interference in America’s presidential elections brought me back to a time in the not so distant past, when other countries fought hard for freedom, trying to break out from under the iron fist of communism. My relatives—who lived in Eastern Europe—were among them. That lead to a whole lot of speculation about how a newly free nation might be compromised and forced to surrender that freedom. The President’s Wife was the result.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I love crime thrillers, like the J.D. Robb series, but I am also partial to erotic romance. In fact, I got through law school by reading steamy romance!
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Lt. Eve Dallas from J.D. Robb’s books. (Nora Roberts is J.D. Robb.) That woman is fierce, a true avenging angel, someone who fights for truth, justice, and the American way–in the future.
    What are you working on at the moment?
    I am about to begin working on a book about four former law school classmates who get dumped by their husbands, but band together to fight back, as well as a book tentatively titled That Thing Called Love, which is a guide to love in the 21st Century. It includes all the advice I have given to my millennial son and his friends. Then it’s back to the sixth book in the Kinky Briefs series.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    All of the books I am currently working on should be out before the end of the year.

    Argen's Mate by Clarissa Lake @ clarissalake1 #RLFblog #NewRelease #SciFi #RomanceClarissa Lake, 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.

    Argen’s Mate by Clarissa Lake

    Genre Science Fiction Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Argen Trematu was home on leave at Farseek Brigade when the Sargan’s attacked his home world. With Farseek in ruins, Argen was captured and sold into slavery. Lieutenant Commander Trematu didn’t make such a good slave and landed him on the Julconi prison planet fighting in the pit. He thinks his life is over until he learns the Farseek Mercenaries were on the way to the rescue. Argen never thought landing on the prison world would be his lucky break.
    Then me meets her on the rescue ship.
    Zoey Addison was kidnapped from Earth and rescued by the Farseek Mercenaries. She joined the Mercenaries with her three friends because she had nowhere else to go. Her friends all found their soul mates among the crew and Zoey was feeling left out.
    Until, dressed in rags and so dirty she could barely discern what color he was, Argen walks up to her table and takes her hand. The attraction between them all most crackles.
    Why did you write this book?
    This book is the culmination of the Farseek Mercenary Series: Commander’s Mate, Lieutenant’s Mate, Sahvin’s Mate, and Argen’s Mate. Then as a sampler of the series I added Faigon’s Mate as a freebie. I needed another series to keep readers interested after the Narovian Mates series. I wanted to create a little different twist on alien abduction romance and I started with the opening lines of Commander’s Mate.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    Science fiction romance space opera.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    It’s usually the hero of the book I am reading at any given time. I really have a soft spot for cyborg heroes.
    What are you working on at the moment?
    A mail order bride romance with a cyborg. It’s the second entry in my Narovian Interstellar Matchmaker series.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    I’m planning more steamy scifi romance set in the Narovian/Farseek Universe
