jobs. They’re the best there is, and the item, person, or secret hasn’t been invented
that these two can’t recover. Until now. After all, how do you find an invisible
man in another dimension? The archaeologist in charge can’t afford this fee, and

5 Easy Questions: Anne Kane author Love and Wishes @annekane #RLFblog #fantasy
Love and Wishes
by Anne KaneAnne Kane author of Love and Wishes answers five easy questions
to help readers get to know her better.Author Bio
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.What’s your favorite down-home
family style meal?You know I live on the west coast of Canada, and up here wild
Salmon is fairly common. You can catch a nice one by standing on the bridge in the
middle of town and dropping your line into the river. These aren’t little fish!
A side of one can feed at least six people. My favorite way to cook them is to slather
maple syrup on a side of salmon and barbeque wrapped up in tinfoil with some lemon
slices. A nice fresh garden salad, picked that day supplies the veggie component
and some baked potatoes with sour cream, bacon bits and green onions finish the
meal off. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!Describe the perfect vacation.The perfect vacation is a jaunt somewhere exotic with my sister.
We live far apart and rarely get to see each other so one year we decided that each
spring we would meet somewhere in the world and have a vacation together. We’ve
been doing this for the past five years, and absolutely love it! It’s wonderful
to have a travel companion that you get along with, and we’ve been to lots on amazing
places. Come to think of it, it’s time to start planning our trip for this year.What are your hobbies?I have way too many hobbies. I sing in two choirs, play guitar
and piano, hike the mountain trails with my dog, kayak in the river (yup, same one
the salmon came out of) putter in the garden, and read lots and lots of books. I
also swim, skate and practice karate.When you read for pleasure,
what kind of books do you choose?I think I’ve read darn near anything at one point or another!
Romance, murder mysteries,.fantasy, science fiction, contemporary, and autobiographies
of famous people. It depends on what mood I’m in, or what caught my attention when
I was in the book store or browsing in the online bookstores.If the hero of your latest
book called you on the phone, what would be a perfect ringtone for him?Definitely the James Bond Theme song!About the Book

Author Interview: Linda Mooney @LindaMooney #RLFblog #Scifi #SFR
Zonaton About Zonaton
Genre sensuously erotic sci-fi romance novelAuthor Name Linda MooneyBook heat level (based on movie ratings): RA hundred years ago, the last people of Earth landed
on planet AR617b. It was their only hope after being forced to flee the dead planet
that was once their ancestral homeThe native inhabitants of AR617b, known as gerons
are sentient creatures that resemble a cross between dragons and griffins of old
Earth lore. When they initially tried to destroy the settlers, a deal was made to
ensure both species’ survival. It was decided that each year, every five-year-old
human child must take The Walk across a hundred meter field. If they don’t stop
or run, they will arrive safely on the other side, and be allowed to grow up and
have families of their own. But if they break the rule, the gerons will kill them
unless, by a strange quirk of fate, a geron decides to Pair with the child, taking
and raising the human as its own.Emmala took The Walk, and found herself adopted by
one of the older gerons, an immense silvery-white creature named Zonaton. For the
next fifteen years, he cared for her, protected her, and loved her. But now Emmala’s
real family wants her back, and they will do everything they can to have her returned,
even if it means killing Zonaton, and starting an all-out war with the gerons.What neither the settlers nor gerons realize is that
there is another alien species watching and waiting for the two combatants to go
into battle. Because when they do, that will be the aliens’ cue to destroy everyone,
and claim AR617b for their own.Buy This Book

Why did you write this
book?By accident, I ran across a piece of artwork on the internet
that hit me like a two-by-four. I have no idea who the artist is, but it’s a picture
of a human-like dragon/griffin protecting a naked young female. The picture is in
sepia tones, mostly silver in color, and I just couldn’t shake the image. It was
too powerful and beautiful, and I knew I had to write a story around the piece.What is your favorite
genre to read?Believe it or not, I love to read mostly horror. As for romance,
I’m very eclectic. Whatever gets my attention, I’ll read.What is your favorite
character from fiction (not including your own characters)?I love the Comte de Saint Germaine, by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro.Do you enjoy films and/or
TV shows? Which are your favorites?I watch mostly horror. Right now I’m a huge Walking Dead fan.
I also watch Ghost Adventures, From Dusk ‘Til Dawn, and Sherlock.What are you working on
at the moment, and what are we likely to see from you in the coming months?I’m jumping back and forth between several books. Once I retire
from teaching in June (after 35 years), I hope to “settle down” and get
a few more books completed, including AEquana’s Quest, HeartStorm, Runner’s Moon:
Yarrolam, Every Battle Lord’s Nightmare, and an independent story called UnderSilver.Please tell us about your
latest book.Zonaton is a geron, one of the sentient creatures inhabiting
an Earth-like planet. A hundred years ago, the survivors of Earth landed on his
world and began to colonize. But, as humans do, they began to ravage the planet,
forcing the gerons to try and curb the destruction. As the gerons, who resemble
dragon/griffin-like humans, are much more powerful, they nearly killed all the survivors,
until one man managed to broker a truce between the species. As part of the treaty,
every year, all 5-year-old children have to take The Walk across a barren plot of
land. Those children who run or refuse to go are taken away and killed. Those who
follow through survive to grow up.What the humans don’t realize is that gerons are extremely sensitive
to human tendencies. Gerons can tell which child will grow up to become vicious
and possibly a severe danger to their own kind. What the gerons actually do is cull
the human population of any future danger.Emmala is old enough to take The Walk, but her situation is drastic.
She is a severely abused child, both physically and emotionally. During the trial,
Zonaton realizes she will not live to grow up if her situation doesn’t change, so
he “adopts” her, and takes her away to live with him.The only problem with this is that he is well into his elderly
years, and doesn’t have many left to live. All he can do is hope he remains around
long enough to give Emmala – whom he has come to cherish – enough knowledge and
support so that she can survive on her own after he is gone.What neither of them realize is that Emmala’s abusive parents
decide they want her back with them, and they will do everything in their power
to have her returned to them.At the same time, some rogue aliens, who have caused trouble
before in the past, have landed back on the gerons’ planet, and it won’t be long
before they’re expected to pose a major threat to both the humans and gerons.Author Bio
Linda loves to write sensuously erotic romance with a fantasy,
paranormal, or science fiction flair. Her technique is often described as being
as visual as a motion picture or graphic novel.A wife, mother, and retired Kindergarten and music teacher, she
lives in a small south Texas
town near the Gulf coast where she delves into other worlds filled with daring exploits,
adventure, and intense love.She has numerous best sellers, including 10 consecutive #1s.
In 2009, she was named Whiskey Creek Press Torrid’s Author of the Year, and her
book My Strength, My Power, My Love was named the 2009 WCPT Book of the Year. In
2011, her book Lord of Thunder was named the EPIC eBook (formerly Eppie) Award Winner
for Best Erotic Sci-Fi Romance.Author Social Media

easy, and fun. Today’s guest is Beth Barany.What is your go-to
meal to order when you dine out? Your favorite “I know it will hit the
spot” item.I love breakfast at any time of day, so depending on where I
am, I’ll usually get two eggs over easy with hash browns, bacon, and a side of
steamed spinach.What were you like
when you were in school?Starting at age 12 in middle school, I was super studious
and worked hard to get A’s. But before then, I wasn’t paying much attention to

Everything else wasn’t a nearly as interesting as the book I was reading at the
time.Would you rather stay
inside and watch snow falling, or get out in it and build a snowman?Well, that depends! Am I reading a great book? Then I want
to stay inside. But if I don’t have anything in my hands at the moment, I want
to get outside and preferably cross-country ski.What was your
favorite book as a child?I really loved The Lost Prince by Frances Hodgson Burnett.What was the last
movie you watched (home or theater)?Turbo! What a sweet and fun film about holding fast to your
dreams and going after them with all you’ve got!About the Book
