Bjorn Cursed by NJ Walters
Genre PNR
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Lucifer is up to his old tricks, causing problems for the Forgotten Brotherhood. This time, he’s had a woman removed from the Norse afterlife and placed her right in the path of Bjorn Knutson. After the slaughter of his wife and family centuries ago, tortured and broken, Bjorn was cursed as the first Norse werewolf. Now he’s been tasked by Odin himself with killing the woman who escaped. Failure is not an option.
Before he can track her, he stumbles across a woman being accosted by three men in the middle of the night. Even though she’s human, he intervenes and is shocked to recognize the face of the one woman he could never kill — his wife Anja.
She’s also the one he’s hunting…and if he doesn’t kill her then both their lives are at stake.
QUICK
What’s your favorite book?…
That’s an impossible question to ask a reader. But I read Amanda Quick’s book Surrender when it first came out in 1990. I was reading mostly historical fiction and historical romance back then. I discovered she was also Jayne Ann Krentz and went looking for those books. It introduced me to Harlequin romances and opened me up to the entire romance genre.
What’s a genre you want to write?…
I’m lucky to be writing in the romance genre, which has so many subgenres. I’ve written contemporary, fantasy, erotic, cowboy, sci-fi, and of course, paranormal romance of all kinds. So far, I’ve written whatever I’ve wanted to.
Best writing advice you ever heard?…
Just write what you love. There are no shortcuts to this business. You have to sit down and write the book, so you better love your characters.
What’s the title and genre of your first book, and where can we find it?
The first book I ever wrote was Discovering Dani, book 1 of my Jamesville series. But my first published book was Annabelle Lee back in 2004. It’s now available as Uncovering Annabelle. You can find both on Amazon.

Discover fast fun facts about Caro Carson author of For This Christmas Only @thecarocarson #RLFblog #ContemporaryRomance #ChristmasRomance
A chance meeting brings a reclusive business icon and his biggest fan together in Caro Carson’s new holiday romance, For This Christmas Only.
Caro Carson, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about For This Christmas Only.
For This Christmas Only by Caro Carson
Genre Contemporary Christmas romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG
QUICK
What’s your favorite book?…
This is the most impossible question to answer. Perhaps Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice, because that book launched the romance genre as we know it today. I can’t imagine life without reading romances that end happily-ever-after.
What’s a genre you want to write?…
It would be fun to get back to time travel romance, someday. I published two pirate-themed romances a few years ago, and I’d love to return to that world.
Best writing advice you ever heard?…
Don’t be afraid to put all your best stuff into one book, because new “best stuff” will appear when you start to write the next book. When it comes to creativity, the well doesn’t run dry, so don’t ration the water.
What’s the title and genre of your first book, and where can we find it?
My first book was Doctor, Soldier, Daddy, a marriage-of-convenience story that launched a 9-book series. The paperbacks can be found at used book stores, but the ebook can be purchased in all formats, everywhere ebooks are sold. Thanks for asking! I’d like to re-read that one over the holidays. Yummy hero, if I don’t say so myself.
Easy
Coffee or tea? Coffee. I know tea has caffeine, but I swear it doesn’t wake me up like coffee does.
Sit down dinner or drive through? Definitely sit down dinner, preferably somewhere fancy-schmanzy and preferably while having a good hair day and wearing a pretty dress. Candlelight required.
Fold laundry immediately or let it sit? I fold it straight out of the dryer, but don’t ask how long it sits on the dryer before I finally put it in my closet! Let’s just say the dryer makes an excellent dresser-bureau.
Unload dishwasher right away or use dishes from it? I have children. I do not empty the dishwasher if I can possible help it. They need chores, right? I’m not lazy. I’m being a good parent. *wink, wink*
Driving for pleasure or avoid driving anywhere? I fall asleep on road trips like a baby in a car seat. That was something of a survival skill when I was in the army—you had to catch a nap when you could, which was usually in the back of a truck or in a HUMM-V. I think my brain still assumes it’s vital to take a nap whenever I’m in a vehicle!
Talk or text? Text. It’s funny how it seems rude to call somebody now when a text will do.
Emoji or smilie? Emojis have gotten really fun.

Discover fast fun facts about Tricia Schneider author of Holidays Bite @TriciaSchneider #RLFblog #VampireRomance
A vampire encounters the impossible in Tricia Schneider’s new paranormal romance inside Holidays Bite: A Limited Edition Collection of Holiday Vampire Tales. How can a woman from the 21st century know of a vampire’s dark past?
Tricia, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about A Whisper from the Grave.
A Whisper from the Grave, featured inside Holidays Bite: A Limited Edition Collection of Holiday Vampire Tales by Tricia Schneider
Genre Paranormal Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Josie Drummond breathes life onto canvas as she paints compelling portraits and scenes of people who lived and died long ago. The images are inspired by the brief flashes she witnesses during intensely painful migraine episodes. She thinks it’s just her creativity at work until the man in her paintings walks into her life one Christmas Eve. And if what she sees in her imagination is true then… Antonio is no ordinary man.
He’s a vampire.
Antonio is shocked to discover his undead life portrayed on canvases hanging along Jackson Square. Even more mysterious is the woman who paints them. How can a woman from the 21st century know of his dark past in a life he lived hundreds of years ago?
‘Tis the Season…for vampires!
When the days grow shorter and dusk comes earlier, we may spend our time decorating with holly and mistletoe, drinking cider, and playing in the snow. But the creatures who stalk the night are in their element—and while visions of sugarplums dance in our heads, they’re lurking in the shadows, knowing there’s nothing so delicious as a vampire’s kiss.
So settle in for a long winter’s night full of winter holiday vampire tales from these New York Times, USA Today, and international bestselling authors. Including paranormal romance, urban fantasy, and dark fantasy, this collection give a whole new meaning to the term heartwarming.
Because sometimes, the holidays truly bite.
QUICK
What’s your favorite book?…
I have way too many favorites when it comes to books, but the first that comes to mind is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. It’s a gothic romance classic that I always enjoy re-reading.
What’s a genre you want to write?…
While I love writing romances because of the guaranteed happily-ever-after, I would enjoy writing urban fantasy, too.
Best writing advice you ever heard?…
Read. Pick the type of book you want to write and read everything you can. If you want to write mystery, read 20 mystery books. Is romance your thing? Then read as much of the romance genre as you can. You can pick up a lot by simply reading in that genre. It’s a great place to start.
What’s the title and genre of your first book, and where can we find it?
The Witch and the Wolf is a paranormal romance published by The Wild Rose Press and can be found at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. http://www.triciaschneider.com/books/paranormal-romance/the-witch-and-the-wolf/
Easy
Coffee or tea? Hot tea. Lavender and honey tea is my favorite, but mostly any green tea.
Sit down dinner or drive through? Drive thru. Sit down dinners are saved for special occasions.
Fold laundry immediately or let it sit? Fold it. I can’t stand wrinkles.
Unload dishwasher right away or use dishes from it? Sadly, my dishwasher broke three years ago. I have to hand wash dishes which is not fun with four kids who feel the need to get a new cup every time they need a drink. But, when it was working, I would unload it immediately.
Driving for pleasure or avoid driving anywhere? Driving for pleasure. I love to visit new places. Sometimes I go for a ride with no destination in mind. Just going where the road takes me.
Talk or text? Talk.

Genre Sweet Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): G
Everything in his life is planned. How’d she get on his agenda?
Quint learned long ago that in Hollywood everything’s make believe, including love, but can’t resist struggling scriptwriter Chrystelle. She’s entirely too fascinating, but he doesn’t want her–he wants her script.
Chyrstelle wishes she could spend Christmas with her grandmother in Colorado. When Quint offers to produce her TV series, she’s thrilled, but he wants to change everything. The battle begins. Then Chrystelle’s grandmother takes ill, Chrystelle knows where she belongs and hops the next bus home.
What she hadn’t expected was Quint on her front porch, and not to wish her a Merry Christmas. He wants her script–on his terms, of course.
QUICK
What’s your favorite book?
Anything by Phyllis A. Whitney, Victoria Holt and Jean Plaidy
What’s a genre you want to write?…
I love reading historicals, but I’ll leave the hard work to those industrious authors who like research.
Best writing advice you ever heard?…
Keep writing. With so many books being published, the best advertising for an author is another book.
What’s the title and genre of your first book, and where can we find it?
Prelude and Fugue. An oldy but a goody. As a pianist, I wrote this based on some of my experiences, but this book is more fact than fiction and was fun to write. It’s available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007LQD6GG
Easy
Coffee or tea? I like them both
Sit down dinner or drive through? Sit down. I love conversation and a nice dinner.
Fold laundry immediately or let it sit? Actually, my husband does the laundry.
Unload dishwasher right away or use dishes from it? I unload it only because does the cooking and we have lots of dishes.
Driving for pleasure or avoid driving anywhere? If I didn’t have to drive, that would be fine with me, but my husband would be antsy so we find ourselves exploring whenever we can.
Talk or text? Talking is nice. I hate when I have cut a conversation short, though.
Emoji or smilie? If the emoji is available, I’ll use it. With all those symbols, I could never figure out how to make my own.

Discover fast fun facts about Sierra Brave author of Baby Makes Four @bravesierra #RLFblog #Romance
A poly trio is expecting their first baby in Sierra Brave’s MMF ménage romance, Baby Makes Four, but the new dynamic has one of the men feeling left out and insecure. Will two fathers prove one too many or can three parents multiply the love?
Sierra, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Baby Makes Four.
Baby Makes Four by Sierra Brave
Genre Contemporary Ménage Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): No one under 18 admitted!
Five years have passed since Trisha, Ken, and Tommy began their romantic love triangle. They’re no longer horny college kids, but growing up brings challenges for the Marks-Davidson clan. As Trisha struggles with carrying Ken’s baby in San Antonio’s dry, scorching weather, Tommy begins to question his place in the trio, especially when Ken, who previously agreed to deepen the intimacy between the two, seems reluctant to seal the deal.
Emotionally, Ken’s all for connecting on a physical level with his best friend and co-husband. He’s just not sure about the logistics. What will it take for them to forget their egos and insecurities and surrender to the desires already boiling over?
Follow their journey as they answer the question: Can three people truly love each other equally?
Although reading books one and two in the retro-contemporary Triple Passion Play series would add to your enjoyment, book three can be read as a standalone HEA romance.
Baby Makes Four is packed with pulse-pounding, hot, steamy, and explicit love scenes, including relations between two males, domestic discipline and spanking play, and adult toy play. If you are offended by alternative lifestyles, LGBT relationships, or descriptive, put-you-in-the-moment sexual language, you might want to look for a different book.
QUICK
What’s your favorite book?…
I’m not someone who is able to pick only one of anything, but I’ve always been fascinated by Alice in Wonderland in print, movies, and any other way, shape or form. The idea of falling into a magical land where caterpillars smoke mind-altering substances and being mad is the norm sounds like a blast.
What’s a genre you want to write?…
I’m currently writing a couple of fractured fairytales. One is based on the before mentioned Alice in Wonderland while the other is a new take on Red Riding Hood.
Best writing advice you ever heard?…
Stop waiting for the perfect time to write. You can’t edit an empty page.
What’s the title and genre of your first book, and where can we find it?
My first book was a contemporary office romance published by EC for Books as Do Geek Girl’s Dream of Electric Sweeties. I thought the title was clever, but no one really got that the title was a play on the Science Fiction book, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep which the movie Blade Runner is based on. I republished the story as Geek Girl’s Romance. It’s available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBVP5BM

Coffee or tea? I’m a southern girl so iced coffee in the morning and sweet tea the rest of the day!
