    Taming the White Wolf by NJ Walters

    Genre paranormal romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): Adult

    The lone wolf answers to no alpha or pack. From his first transformation, he knows his destiny: to be both judge and executioner for rogue werewolves. Welcome to the spellbinding first book in New York Times bestselling author NJ Walters intense new werewolf series.

    White wolf Devlin Moore has spent nearly the last century following his destiny: hunting rogue werewolves. His fate is to be the only one of his kind—hardened, feared, and brutally ruthless. Only now, Devlin’s not alone. There are two others. And if that wasn’t unsettling enough, Devlin is drawn to New York City for what appears to be a human


    As far as Devlin can tell, vibrant artist Zoe Galvani is no threat. But there’s something about her—from her unusual eyes that look similar to the same shocking hue as his own, to his growing need to mark her as his that suggests magical forces may be at play.

    Now there’s no escaping each other, or the attraction that grows stronger by the second. But no one, especially a human woman, should have this effect on a lone wolf. And just when he’s sure that having her could be his undoing
the truth steps out of the shadows.

    How long have you been writing?

    I didn’t actually write my first book until I was in my thirties. I wrote two books in the mid-1990s, tried to find a home for them, put them away, and didn’t write again until late 2003. My first book was published in October 2004, a month shy of my fortieth birthday.

    Tell us about your writing space or home office.

    All but my first two books—which weren’t my first published books—have been written in an office nook I created in the corner of my living room. It’s cozy, but it works for me. I write on a desktop computer, not a laptop.

    What do you love most about that area?

    I like that it’s a small and cozy space. It helps keep me focused. When I sit there, there’s nothing to do but write. I have a small shelf behind me and a tall screen tin front of my computer desk that acts as a “wall.”

    What office equipment do you use most, other than your computer?

    Other than my computer, I am the queen of the file card. I know most writers organize their book or series notes on computer programs, but my brain works better with a physical copy. I have a row of file cards propped up on the top of my keyboard, sometimes taped to the wall, all in an effort to keep me organized. They contained brief character sketches I can refer to, as well as other details I need to remember. On larger series, I’ve used notebooks to organize details, but I still primarily rely on my 4″X6″ file cards.

    What’s the last book about writing that you read?

    I honestly don’t read many books about writing. I get frustrated because my brain doesn’t want to follow the “rules” set down in most books. I do love the Writers Helping Writers Series by Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi. They’re reference books I use often.

    What book or books about writing do you recommend for new authors?

    I’d recommend Becca Syme’s QuitBooks for Writers series. They’re more about the writing life and the writer than about how to write a book. Also, any books in the Writers Helping Writers series by Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi. They’re a great reference.

    What do you like to read for relaxation?

    Romance books are at the top of the list. I started writing them because I love reading them. I change it up with self-help books and the occasional biography. Basically, whatever interests me.

    Tell Us About Your Cover

    What was your reaction when you first saw this cover?

    This is the second version of this cover. The first was created when the book was published through an e-publisher. Once I got the rights back to the book, I was able to contract with a cover artist to create a new cover. I adore this cover. I think it is the best cover of any of my stories.

    How did you choose the artist?

    The artist is personally known to me. He has been doing cover art for years, and it was a pleasure to be able to get him to do this cover.

    What was it like to work with this artist?

    Working with the artist was easy. He strives to make the author happy. The only thing I wanted to change from the original design was the font on the lettering of my name. He made the change in minutes and sent me a new mockup of the design.

    What do you like best about your cover?

    The fire. Fire is involved in a pivotal moment in the story. I love seeing it included on the cover.

    In what ways do the models match your story’s characters?

    The models are a perfect fit for my characters. The artist used my descriptions of the main characters when choosing who to put on the cover. They are an exact match, right down to the ice-blue eyes of the hero.

    A good cover conveys the genre at a glance. What are the genre clues on this cover?

    I believe the hazy moon, the hero’s icy stare, and the attractive male and female models all help to convey the paranormal romance genre.

    What emotions do you hope your cover communicates?

    I wanted this cover to be like my heroes
dark and intriguing with an air of mystery.

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13

    I’m Sheriff Jack Lang. After a career as a Navy pilot, Destiny seemed like the perfect place to settle down. I wanted a normal place to raise my daughter, like Mayberry. But after meeting Tempe, Destiny seems more like Middle Earth.

    Then I met Tempest Pomeroy, my sexy redheaded mail lady and trouble magnet. Tempe never fails to test the limits of my patience, or the law. Every time I think it’s the last straw, up pops another haystack.

    My name is Tempest Pomeroy, and my human job is delivering the mail. I’m also a Paramortal like my family, or I’m supposed to be. If I didn’t have a few little talents, I’d think I was adopted.

    But now my brother’s genie bottle is missing and the sheriff suspects yours truly. I’ve denied my heritage for most of my life but all this chaos is a sign of my quickening Tempestaerie power. Things better settle down soon, ’cause I’m about to go Storm Crazy.

    Mrs. Quinn has the potential to become another Nora Roberts, J.D. Robb & Gina Showalter. If you love paranormal romance with a twist of whodunit, this book is for you.”

    Here you’ll meet shifters, vampires, dragons, tempestaeries, djinn and fae with surprises at every turn. The Destiny Paramortals is a series with recurring characters on their Paramortal journey. They are not standalones.

    Read the series: RomanticMoments by Kate Hill @katehillromance #RLFblog #shortromanceIn Kate Hill’s new vampire romance, love brought Adrian and Anna together, but a lie from a jealous enemy drove them apart.

    Kate, 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 series.

    Through My Heart in the Romantic Moments Series

    Genre Vampire Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R/Adult

    Adrian – I am a vampire whose physical ugliness intensified with my immortality. For centuries I hunted alone, disguising myself from prey, preferring illusions to brutal attacks. Others of my kind spurned me. Some tried to destroy me, and on them I unleashed my wrath. I suffered the agony of eternal loneliness, and then I met Anna.

    Anna – My life was almost unbearable until a tall, black-haired stranger with fiery eyes and needle sharp teeth drank my blood and swept me into an unimaginable world. From the night we met, I gave Adrian my heart, but a lie spun by a jealous enemy drove us apart. I swore I would never give him the chance to hurt me again, but denying my love for him was harder than I thought.

    Note: Through My Heart is a very short horror romance featuring vampiric love. It has a spicy heat level, violence, and a HEA. This Romantic Moments story is the perfect length for a lunch break, before bed, or any time you want a quick, romantic read.

    Which book is this in the series?

    Through My Heart is book 3 in the Romantic Moments series. Like all stories in the series, it can be read as a stand alone.

    How many books do you plan for the series?

    This is an ongoing series, and I have at least 3 more stories planned for it.

    How many books are completed?

    At the time of this interview 3 books are completed.

    What characters are the main stars in your series?

    The characters in the series are not necessarily related. What ties them together is that they’re all short stories and have a HEA or a happy for now.

    What is the overall theme in this series?

    Romance with a happy ending for the main couple. No cliffhangers, at least as far as a happily ever after or a happy for now.

    So far, all the stories in the series have been paranormal romance or romantic horror, but other subgenres may happen in the future!

    Please list the series titles below, in any order you prefer.

    Tia of the Moon
    Caleb
    Through My Heart

    What did you like best about writing this series?

    I like the freedom of exploring any subgenre of romance and also writing short stories. One of my favorite things to do on a lunch break is read or listen to a story that’s short enough to finish during the break. I hate to go back to work not knowing how a story ends. I love the idea of a series written just for that purpose—a short romantic story when you need to take a break from reality.

    What other books (not in this series, have you written?)

    I have several indie titles available, including the Silver Hearts Series, Warrior Priest, Country Whispers, St. Augustine’s Silhouettes, and Angela’s Kiss. I also have many titles with Changeling Press, including books set in my Pandemonium Universe. Most of my books have paranormal, science fiction, or fantasy elements. Some of my Changeling Press titles are written under the pen name Saloni Quinby.

    Read Raven's Hollow Spring Magic the new Paranormal Romance by Tena Stetler @TenaStetler #RLFblog#PNR #Mystery #RomanceA mysterious disappearance of a powerful witch has the dragon shifter police chief baffled in Tena Stetler’s new paranormal mystery Raven’s Hollow Spring Magic. Is the ancient jelly bean machine to blame?

    Tena, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Raven’s Hollow Spring Magic.

    Raven’s Hollow Spring Magic by Tena Stetler

    Genre Paranormal Mystery/Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13

    Spring is in full bloom in Raven’s Hollow, a small town in the Colorado Rockies with a population of unique townspeople. Blaze, a dragon shifter, and Wynter, a witch, are neck-deep in wedding preparations, when Wynter’s mother, Jade, goes missing after opening her new antique store, and attending the Simon estate sale where she procured an ancient jelly bean machine. Frantic with worry, Blaze and Wynter track her last movements via the store’s ancient, grainy, security footage. What it reveals is nothing short of shocking. As deputy sheriff, it’s Blaze’s responsibility to find his soon-to-be mother-in-law. But at what cost?

    Why did you write this book?

    I discovered after writing Meringue Snowflake Magic, I wasn’t done or maybe it’s the characters weren’t done with me. While Raven’s Hollow Spring Magic is set in the same town with some of the same characters of Meringue Snowflake Magic, there are new characters, adventures, and a mystery.

    What is your favorite genre to read?

    Paranormal Romance, Mystery, Suspense, anything with magic.

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

    Breen Kelly from The Awakening by Nora Roberts. First book of the Dragons Heart Legacy a new trilogy of adventure, romance, and magick.

    What are you working on at the moment?

    The second book in the Mountain Town Mystery Series, currently unnamed. The first book Security Force of Two released March 20, 2023 with great success.

    What books will we see from you in coming months?

    I believe Raven’s Hollow Spring Magic releases July 10, 2023, after that it’s hard to tell. I’d hoped that the second book in Mountain Town Mysteries would be ready to submit, but alas, the characters are not cooperating, so could be 2024.
