This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces the story.
About Shannyn Schroeder
Shannyn is the author of the O’Leary series, contemporary romances centered around a large Irish-American family in Chicago and the Hot and Nerdy series about 3 nerdy friends finding love. Her new For Your Love series (For Your Love) released last summer with the first title Under Your Skin. When she’s not wrangling her three kids or writing, she watches a ton of TV and loves to bake cookies.Interview with Shannyn Schroeder
Why did you write this book?In Your Arms is the second in my For Your Love series. The series follows the O’Malley siblings as they fall in love. Sean was a lot of fun to write because he’s such an easygoing kind of guy. I was looking forward to writing about him from the first time I introduced him in another series (The O’Learys).What is your favorite genre to read?Contemporary romance. I know a lot of authors who don’t read in the genre they write, but not me. Give me all the good contemporary romances.Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?Roarke from JD Robb’s In Death series is probably my favorite hero of all time.What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?The third book in the For Your Love series – Through Your Eyes – will release on May 28, 2017.Right now, I’m drafting the last of the O’Malley books (For Your Love series). This will be Kevin’s story and it’s a second chance romance with the one who got away. It doesn’t have a title yet, but it will be out sometime in early 2018.Please tell us about your latest book.A Knight in Shining LeatherSean O’Malley has never tried to hide who he is. He shows it in the motorcycle thrumming between the legs of his tight jeans, the shaggy hair that falls in his gorgeous eyes, the wicked gleam in his smile when he asks Emma out for a drink. Sean is a rebel, a bad boy, and a ton of fun: exactly the kind of guy she’s sworn off forever.Emma isn’t just the prim kindergarten teacher she appears to be. And somehow Sean can tell. As soon as he pulls up to her overheated car he knows that a fast bike and a cold beer will fix her rotten day better than compliments or a bubble bath. Her straitlaced exterior and her wild heart light him up. But Emma wants to escape her past and settle down—and if her desk jockey dates don’t understand where she comes from, at least she doesn’t worry about them bringing her back.One weekend of intense connection can’t change the paths Sean and Emma have chosen. But with a little space to be themselves together, maybe the rest of the world can wait.About In Your Arms

Amazed by You a new #contemporary by @pawf1067 #RLFblog
This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces the story.About the AuthorEver since she wrote a play in fourth grade about the Loch Ness Monster–from the monster’s point of view, Patricia’s been fascinated with telling stories. This has proven helpful at family gatherings since she comes from a very long line of natural born story-tellers.She’s been to the top of the world and seen the lowest moments when she worked as a pediatric and adult trauma nurse. Before her medical experience, she worked as a bartender, waitress, and prep cook. Add in her jobs as a bill collector, secretary, video store clerk, and checker at a hardware store and the characters for her stories are endless. She’s met movie celebrities, music legends, sports heroes, and fantastic writers. Been under the sea, floated in the sky, sang the National Anthem at major league sporting events, acted a bit, and played some good music on her drums and guitar. And during all that time, she tucked all those adventures and moments in her head to write about it all one day.Interview with Patricia Fischer
Why did you write this book? I wanted to give a voice to adoption, especially family adoptions and the chaos and joy that can come from it. That you can have a second chance at mistakes made as a teen, that the world doesn’t end.And that sometimes the worst things that happen to you might be the beginnings of the most amazing things in your life.What is your favorite genre to read? It truly depends on the day. I’m up to read just about anything, but for sure I love romance no matter what genre.Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)? I love Douglas Montgomery from A Knight In Shining Armor. That book helped me realize when I was in that ugly relationship, I could leave and be okay. One of the best moments of my life was to get to tell Jude Devereux, the author, that the book helped me when I really needed it. I had it all planned out, what to say and when I stood in front of her, I began crying so hard I’m not sure if she understood me at all, but she smiled and nodded and hugged me.What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?In January, I’ll have book 5 from the Tuscany Series called To Heal a Wounded Heart.In February, I’ve got my second book of my Weighting series with Soulmate Publishing. It’s the follow up to the book I wrote a couple of years ago. It answers a lot of questions that I’m so glad I can finally discuss.In April, I’ll have a new book for Tule Publication about First Responders and a bit of calendar posing. So spicy!Please tell us about your latest book.Responsible Joseph Davis just got dumped…at the altar. With his heart shattered, he decides the best way to heal is a one night stand and the cute brunette he just befriended will do just fine. Especially, when she offers him a deal he can’t refuse.One night. Just sex. No names.Against his good-guy nature, he agrees except something about her makes him realize, they’ve met before.As a pregnant teen, Stephane Stratford stayed in the Pathways Foster Home and gave her daughter up for adoption. During her time there, she had a brief conversation with a young chestnut haired hunk with the cute dimples. He treated her with such kindness, she’s always compared every other suitor against him and all have failed miserably to measure up.When she unexpectedly has to return to Tuscany to care for her now, teenage daughter, Stephanie wants one last fling before having to take on the permanent role of mother. This hot cowboy couldn’t be a better choice, but their rendez-vous ends too quickly and when they say their good-byes, Stephanie is confident she’ll never see him again…until she finds him standing in her sister’s kitchen.Joseph can’t believe it. The beautiful brunette that’s given him more erotic dreams than he cares to admit, is related to a long-time friend.As drawn as he is to her, does he take a chance in trying romance again?With their attraction growing, Stephanie finally realizes that cute boy with dimples from long ago has grown to be one amazing looking man and the keeper of her biggest secret. Should she admit it all and face the fallout? Risk losing the only things she holds dear? Can Joseph work through his broken-heart and learn to trust again?Things are about to get hotter in Tuscany.About the Book

When a Romance Lives Forever #anniversary
I believe Romance Lives Forever. December 23, 1973 was the day my husband and I tied the knot. We were both 22 years old, had been born 3 days apart, joined the Navy the same day, and were both stationed in Tennessee. Today marks 43 years together. One of my big sisters gave us 6 weeks. We’d met in June and were married in December, and she worried we were making a quick decision. Well, we were, but it was because we didn’t want to be apart. We still feel that way. The reason I have Romance Lives Forever on all my branding is because I not only believe it’s true, I’ve lived it.
Kayelle and Edward J Allen Now, apparently it’s also true that people start looking alike when they’ve been together a long time, so in case you’re wondering, I’m the one in the white shirt without the hat.
On a more serious note…
For those who have lost loved ones this year (myself included), hold on. They say time heals but to be honest, time can be brutal. What works for me is investing in those I still have around me. Being vulnerable and honest and allowing myself to feel what I feel. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done. My “coping” mechanism is by nature, avoidance. Learning to both enjoy the present and cherish the past is far from easy. If I do it every day I hope it will get easier. I know I’m not alone, even though sometimes I feel that way. I hope if you are having a hard time during the holidays that you’ll reach out to someone else who needs a moment of hope. Be assured — everyone needs hope.
Romance Lives Forever will not have guests on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Look for more starting the 27th. On Dec 31st I’ll be sharing a note about what’s ahead on RLF. There are some wonderful plans underway.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
