Bernadette Jones has been making up stories since she learned to read on her daddy’s lap. She has imagined casts of characters everywhere she’s called home: Texas, Oregon, South Dakota, Nebraska, Illinois, Massachusetts and now New York.
Books and music filled her life as she, her dad and two brothers traveled the country. She would sit in the back seat of the car (her older brother always got to ride shotgun), listening to the current music on the radio, looking out the window and spinning a story based on a phrase or word she’d heard in the lyrics. As you can imagine, traveling the country the music changed from state to state, as did the stories. To this day she loves all genres of music and books.
After a career in corporate writing, she’s finally decided to settled down and put pen to paper doing what she loves. Living the dream in her NYC apartment with her canine companion, she’s is bringing her stories and characters to life. This is Bernadette’s third book in the Aspen Gold Series.

Where to buy A Midsummer Night’s Demon
Daelyn Torres is determined to break free from her over-protective brother. Born a demon, she knows little of the world outside her home and work. A chance blind date promises adventure and perhaps a walk on the wild side. But her night on the town takes a deadly turn when she is gravely injured and left to die. A handsome, mysterious stranger comes to her rescue and brings with him a passion she has never experienced.
A dark guardian sent to investigate a series of missing person cases, vampire Ky Robinson is ready for anything, except the insatiable desire that engulfs him when he meets Daelyn. He senses their destiny is intertwined and vows to do everything in his power to keep her safe. The only problem: demons and vampires go together like fire and ice.
Daelyn never believed in things that went bump in the night but is more than willing to be seduced by the sexy vampire who marks both her body and soul. Will Ky be able to keep them both alive long enough to prove that vampires and demons can be so much more than friends?

Luckily the only thing limiting her stories is her imagination. Her characters are strong, courageous, and she adores spending time with them in their imaginary world.
Her idea of a perfect day is one spent in front of a computer with a hot cup of coffee, her fingers flying over the keys to send her characters off on their latest adventure.

Read the hot new romance The Bachelor Party Favor by Scarlet Love @ScarletLoveauth #RLFblog #romance
Would you like to be given as a gift to the men at a bachelor party? In Scarlet Love’s new erotic novella, The Bachelor Party Gift, Cara will have to please her master, or refuse his command and pay the price. Scarlet, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about The Bachelor Party Favor.
The Bachelor Party Favor by Scarlet Love
Genre Erotic Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
One more fling before the ringthat’s what the groom gets at his bachelor party, right?
Cara’s Master knows that a bachelor party requires bros, booze and beauty. As the Best Man, it’s his job to provide those delights. And who better to provide the beauty than his own well-trained submissive?
Does Cara have any choice when her Master decides that she’s going to be the ‘beauty’ at his best friend’s bachelor party?
She doesn’t know any of these men, and she’s never been shared before. She likes to think she’s sexually adventurous, and happy to please her master, but this event might be more than she can handle.
She won’t have to jump out of a cake, but she will be presented in little more than some strategically placed ‘wrapping’ ribbon and a pair of high heels. What more does a sex object need?
And what will happen when the groom’s ‘present’ is unwrapped in front of his friends at the bachelor party?
QUICK
Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?
Not so far. Strictly erotica or erotic romance.
How do you come up with ideas?
Any stray thought can set off a ‘what if’, and that’s the germ of the idea. In The Bachelor Party Favor, it was actually the photo used on the cover that sparked my idea.
What is the single most important part of writing for you?
I like to surprise the reader. Not every line can be a surprise, but the reader wants to be entertained, and surprises are entertaining, aren’t they?
When did you write your first book?
About fifteen years agoalthough I dabbled for many years before that.
FUN
Leather or lace? Lace because it’s prettier
Black or red? Red, but hubby likes black J
Satin sheets or smooth cotton? Cotton
Ocean or mountains? Ocean
City life or country life? Both
Party life or evening at home? Evening at home, especially with friends or family
Dogs or cats? Hmmmm, can’t choose.

The best part about being Scarlet is having the chance to make up fantastical worlds and populate them with all kinds of weird and wonderful creatures, from demons to fairies. In Scarlet’s Fantasy World, the men are tough, but the women are tougher (though usually in a different way).
Women enjoy sex and men understand it. (This is Fantasy World, remember). If the story’s not sexy, it’s not allowed in Fantasy World. The Real World has enough dull stuff. Sometimes we all need an escape from that, right? Happy endings are mandatory in Fantasy World, though there may be a lot of trouble and heartache to get there.
