Livia Quinn author of Storm Crazy @liviaquinn #RLFblog #Paranormal
Livia Quinn is a DC native living on the bayou in Louisiana. With a lifelong fascination (read that: phobia) of storms it was only natural that it would play a big part in the world of Storm Lake. Her former jobs as a mail lady, plant manager, and business owner have stocked her brain full of quirky characters she can’t wait to share with her readers.What’s your favorite down-home family style meal? Home-made enchiladas. I have a great recipe for chili that I cook down the second or third day and top corn tortillas, filled with sweet onion and cheddar cheese with the chili. OMG, I must go make some chili…What is your go-to meal when you dine out?Longhorn – filet mignon, baked potato and salad. I’m almost always traveling because there aren’t any near me in Louisiana.Who is your “book boyfriend” (that hottie you read about and drool over)?Hmm, it’s still between J.D. Robb’s Roarke and Matthew Clairmont from Deborah Harkness’ All Souls Trilogy. Start on either one, they’re like chocolate. Dark, luscious, addicting, yummy…What’s your favorite hashtag to watch on Twitter?#military #romanceDescribe the perfect vacation.Any activity that takes me anywhere in Scotland for an extended amount of time whether its festivals, hiking, touring or writing.What are your hobbies?Oil painting, guitar, reading (of course)When you read for pleasure, what kind of books do you choose?If it’s for relaxation, often I read historical romance like Grace Burrowes and most recently Deborah HarknessWhat kinds of things do you read when you’re researching a new book?Since I write contemporary and paranormal romance I will read something with the same flavor as what I’m working on. Humorous paranormal, military romance, Darynda Jones, Kristan Painter, Jill Shalvis, Barbara FreethyIf the hero of your latest book called you on the phone, what would be a perfect ringtone for him?Oh this is perfect. Jack Lang’s ringtone Aerosmith’s Crazy“It’s time for you to change your crazy ways, ya hear me?”About the Book
Book TItle: Storm CrazyGenre: ParanormalAuthor: Livia QuinnBook heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13To say I was having a bad day would be like saying Katrina dropped a little rain on the Gulf Coast. My name is Tempest Pomeroy. I’m a mail carrier in Destiny, Louisiana, and 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.Before I left for work, I discovered my brother’s amphora missing from the mantle—that’s genie bottle to you mere-mortals— and on my first delivery, a handsome scantily clad doctor triggered some sort of hallucination with just a touch. Pheromones? Then one of my customers had a stroke while reading me the riot act over a piece of mail, but I saved the old grouch with a zap of my Zeus juice, only to have Destiny’s hunky new sheriff show up minutes later.And again, when the owner of Flowers by Dick filed a complaint against me for dropping a seventy-five pound box on his foot. Yeah, I did it, but it was kind of an accident. He put his hand where it didn’t belong and I… sorta dropped the box. Things went downhill from there.I discovered a dead body in the clubhouse and rescued my brother’s amphora from a locker, bashing it in with a Greg Norman wedge…and guess who showed up?I’ve denied my heritage as a Tempestaerie for too long. Now, my mother’s out of pocket, my brother’s missing and the sheriff thinks one of us is guilty of murder. Is it any wonder I’m calling this the worst M.A.L.E day of my life?Oh, and the sheriff? He thought he’d settled in a normal small town to raise his teenage daughter. Like Mayberry. We’ll see how that turns out… Things better settle down soon ‘cause I’m about to go Storm Crazy.Buy This Book

Meet Barbara Heyer: Till Life Do Us Part #PNR @Carmen_Books #RLFblog
Carmen Stefanescu resides in Romania, the native country of
the infamous vampire Count Dracula, but where, for about 50 years of communist
dictatorship, just speaking about God, faith, reincarnation or paranormal
phenomena could have led someone to great trouble – the psychiatric hospital if
not to prison.
High school teacher of English and German in her native
country, and mother of two daughters, Carmen Stefanescu survived the grim years
of oppression by escaping in a parallel world of books.Several of her poems were successfully published in a
collection of Contemporary English Poems, Muse Whispers vol.1 and Muse Whispers
vol.2 by Midnight Edition Publication, in 2001 and 2002.Her first novel, Shadows of the Past, was released in 2012
by Wild Child Publishing, USA.Carmen joined the volunteer staff at Marketing For Romance
Writers Author blog and is the coordinator of #Thursday13 posts.About the Book
Title Till Life Do Us PartGenre Paranormal/romantic suspenseBook heat level (based on movie ratings): PGBarbara Heyer can hear voices of dead people. They whisper of their deaths, seek comfort for those left behind, and occasionally even warn her about future events. But when Barbara’s brother, Colin, is accused of murder, it will take more than her gift to prove his innocence.Becoming smitten with the handsome investigator, Detective Patrick Fischer, is a serious complication given his assignment to her brother’s case. Barbara senses there is something far deeper—and perhaps much older—than the surface attraction between them. Could that be why she’s visited by a mysterious woman named Emma in her dreams? Could past life regression tie all the seemingly unconnected events together?Barbara and Patrick must overcome heartache to find the truth to save Colin, and perhaps themselves.Introducing Barbara Heyer
Welcome to Romance
Lives Forever! We’re happy to have you here today.Name: Barbara HeyerAge: 24Gender: FemaleBirthplace:
Pleasanton, Texas, USAProfession:
LibrarianDescribe your
body and build, skin tone, height and weight. Include any unique features such
as dimples, freckles, or scars.I am a petite
brunette, as Colin, my brother calls me. My hair is curled driving me crazy
when I have to comb it in the morning.Who is the
significant other in your life?After my brother
was charged with murdering his girlfriend Kathleen, I fell in love with
Patrick, the detective assigned to his case. Not an easy situation, trust me.Please tell us a
little about yourself.I love to read and
that’s why I love my job as librarian. I am skilled with a paintbrush and colors.
Above all, I can hear voices of the dead people. It is nice to know I can bring
comfort to bereaved families, and also open their eyes to something as natural
as the living world of the spirits.Please tell us
about your education.I graduated a nurse
course and a librarian one. I work at the Municipal City Library. I am pleased
with my workplace as I love books and, each morning, going to my job I feel
happy.Do you get by,
live comfortably, live extravagantly?Even if I work part
time, I earn some good money from the miniature landscapes I paint. And even
from talking with the ghosts, the souls of the departed. I don’t charge
anything for this but people offer me all kind of things as a sign of their
appreciation – a box of chocolates, perfumes, tickets and invitations to shows,
flowers, books, all kind of presents that are useful to me.On what special
skills do you rely?My gift with the
paint brush and, above all, my ability to hear the voices of the departed people.Are you close to
family?I’m sad to give you
a negative answer. I left my parents’ house because of my father’s tyrannical
attitude. I live now in a house of my own and my brother Colin joined me
shortly after I left.How well do you
know your neighbors?Not too well. I
have no clue who my neighbors are. I am a friendly person, but I never enter
other people’s lives uninvited. The neighborhood didn’t seem very welcoming to
me, so I kept to myself. It has never struck me that being a newcomer in the
House Creek North district, on Elm Street, mattered. I hoped to be able to
build a new life, I alone, in charge of it. My life with my family was mapped
by my father’s will and whim.If someone from
your past showed up, who would you most want it to be, and why?It would be Hans,
my boyfriend of those days. But I can’t reveal more about him now. You’ll have
to read my story and then you’ll understand why.If someone from
your past showed up, who would you most NOT want it to be, and why?An easy answer, and
I refer to another past life – Judge Wieland. A man I had deep respect for, at
first. Until I discovered what lay beneath his façade of respectability.What secrets do
you know about people around you that you do NOT share?Too many. Their
departed relatives and friends trust me with those secrets as they know I will
not tell anybody else. And, a secret is a secret, so I can’t share it with you.What past event
causes you the most fear?Hmm! Hard to
explain at first, but I have an irrational fear of fire. Later, I learned what
caused it. In another life I was burned at the stake as a witch, though the
accusations were false.What would you
like to tell your writer?I want to thank her
for helping me remember my past life, even if it was a heart breaking experience.Buy This Book

Werewolves and Cloaked by @TFWalsh #RLFblog #paranormal
Today’s featured book is Cloaked by T.F. Walsh.Thanks for having me on your blog☺What is it about werewolves that make them such great characters for novels? Traditionally stories of werewolves were used to inspire fear, but they have since been romanticised in popular culture. In either manifestation they are popular material for audiences. Their Jekyll and Hyde nature is probably a key to their fascination, historically and more recently.From a fear aspect, the hidden nature of the werewolf is what caused most concern. Anyone could be a werewolf hiding in his or her human guise. Whether a person’s lycanthropy is beyond their control, or whether they maintain their control, when they change, they are equally frightening.Modern werewolves are much less about fear, and their dual nature has become much more alluring. In present day, where everything we do seems to be public knowledge, having a secret darker side is very appealing. Again, the idea that anyone meet might be a wolf in disguise also titillates the imagination. So anyone who has a mundane life could have a chance to break all the rules, go wild and then return to their normal the next day.Whether scary or sexy, or a bit of both, werewolves have a wide appeal. There are many reasons for this, but their veiled dual personality is at the core of this for many people.What do werewolves symbolize for you?About the BookTitle CloakedGenre Paranormal RomanceAuthor TF WalshThe wulfkin have rules. Although Daciana knows what they are, she can’t help but be attracted to Inspector Connell Lonescu, a forbidden human.When given the opportunity to take part in a one-year independence ritual, Daciana leaps at the chance to venture into the human world. That joy is short-lived when the bear cubs she’s assigned to protect go missing. In desperation, she reaches out to the police, but what she never expected was to be instantly attracted to the brooding, yet wonderfully seductive Connell.Inspector Lonescu trusts no one, including the sinfully sexy Daciana. When she comes to him with wild claims and a suspicious story, he has no reason to believe her, but yet, he can’t help but be intoxicated by her. Something about her is pulling him to her, but allowing that to continue will mean he’ll have to let go of his mistrust and open himself up for something more.Is Daciana ready to risk it all to be with a man she’d been warned to stay away from? Can Connell find the cubs and ensure that Daciana will not have to return home in disgrace?Buy This BookPublisher Crimson RomanceBarnes and Noble http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/cloaked-tf-walsh/1123120904?ean=9781440596643ARe https://www.allromanceebooks.com/product-cloakedawulfkinlegacynovella-2008448-342.htmlKobo https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/ebook/cloaked-1
