    Firebird a new #ContemporaryRomance by @JenniferTLoring #RLFblog

    Firebird 
    This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces
    the story.

    Interview with Jennifer Loring

    Jennifer Loring’s short fiction has appeared in numerous magazines,
    webzines, and anthologies. In 2013, she won Crystal Lake Publishing’s inaugural
    Tales from the Lake writing competition; in 2014, DarkFuse published her novella
    Conduits, and in May 2015, Omnium Gatherum released her debut novel, Those of My
    Kind. She recently signed a deal for a contemporary romance trilogy with Limitless
    Publishing; the first book, Firebird, was published on October 20, 2015. Jennifer
    lives in Philadelphia, PA with her husband, their turtle, and two basset hounds.
    Why did you write this
    book?
    The idea originally came to me in a dream: What would happen
    if a woman ran into her high school sweetheart, now a famous hockey player, one
    night at a bar and one thing led to another? What if she was already in a relationship?
    I’m a huge hockey fan, and I couldn’t get the idea out of my head, especially when
    I started taking it further. What if he suffered a horrible injury on-ice, and how
    would that affect their relationship?
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    Horror and dark fantasy, actually. I first read Stephen King
    when I was 11. Horror is what made me want to become a writer.
    Who is your favorite character
    from fiction (not including your own)?
    That’s a tough one. I’m just going to throw a few out there.
    Irrylath from Meredith Ann Pierce’s The Darkangel Trilogy; Constantine from Robin
    McKinley’s Sunshine; Zach from Poppy Z. Brite’s Drawing Blood; Elphaba from Wicked.
    What are you working on
    at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    I’m working on the second book in the Firebird Trilogy as well
    as a paranormal romance. I have a couple of short stories coming out in anthologies
    as well. I’m also writing a proposal for a sci-fi romance novella, and toying with
    the idea of a hockey romance novella for next Christmas.
    Please tell us about your
    latest book.
    Stephanie Hartwell is a journalist chasing the story of her career…
    When superstar hockey player and notorious bad boy Aleksandr
    Volynsky is traded to the Seattle Earthquakes in a blockbuster deal, Stephanie demands
    the opportunity to prove herself by scoring an exclusive interview with a man with
    no love for the media…the same man she once thought, as a naïve teenager, she’d
    someday marry.
    An Olympian and Stanley Cup Champion, Aleksandr has achieved
    every goal he’s ever set…
    Now expected to carry a failing team on his shoulders, Aleksandr’s
    troubles deepen when he encounters Stephanie after a season-opening loss. His lifestyle
    of drinking and random hookups has been a futile attempt to forget the beautiful
    tomboy who stole his heart nine years ago. And worse, fame and fortune have made
    it impossible for him to trust anyone—especially Stephanie, who is engaged to another
    man.
    Romance rekindles, but tragedy reveals Aleksandr’s dark side…
    Being with Aleksandr in the first place jeopardizes Stephanie’s
    journalistic integrity and threatens her career, and when he spirals out of control,
    it reawakens fears from her own history, making her unable to commit to a future
    with him.
    When Aleksandr discovers the truth behind his self-destructive
    behavior, will his newfound self-awareness be enough to convince Stephanie to give
    him one last chance…
    Or will his revelation drive her away for good?

    Title Modern Heart
    Genre Contemporary Romance
    Author Belinda Williams
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Limited time only: Dream career! Perfect man! The catch? Emotional
    availability.
    Scarlett Wong has a reputation for toughness. A talented and
    often feared Creative Director at an award-winning Sydney advertising agency, she
    doesn’t do relationships, she doesn’t invite men home, and she never stays the night.
    The only people who see her softer side are her three closest girlfriends, and they’re
    finally convinced they’ve found her perfect man: John Hart.
    Scarlett’s never been one to back down from a challenge and she’s
    not going to start now. But when John secures Scarlett an invitation from one of
    New York’s leading galleries to exhibit her artwork, it means putting herself out
    there like never before. Scarlett’s perfect man wouldn’t interfere in her life like
    this – would he?
    For a woman who thinks she’s not scared of anything, Scarlett
    is about to discover she’s not as tough as she thinks. Will she take the chance
    to turn her secret passion into a career, risk the safety of her advertising career
    and let John in? Or will old habits die that little bit too hard?

  • 5 Easy Questions,  Contemporary

    When She Knows: Franconia Notch Trilogy Book 1 @JessieClever #RLFblog #contemporary

    Jessie Clever author of When She Knows: Franconia Notch
    Trilogy Book One answers five easy questions to help readers get to know her better.

    Author Bio

    In the second grade, Jessie began a story about a duck and a lost
    ring.  Two harrowing pages of wide ruled
    notebook paper later, the ring was found. 
    And Jessie has been writing ever since.
    Armed with the firm belief that women in the Regency era could be truly
    awesome heroines, Jessie began telling their stories in her Spy Series, a
    thrilling ride in historical espionage that showcases human faults and triumphs
    and most importantly, love.
    Jessie makes her home in the great state of New Hampshire where she
    lives with her husband and two very opinionated Basset Hounds.  For more, visit her website at
    jessieclever.com.
    What’s your favorite down-home
    family style meal?
    My mom’s mac and cheese! 
    She just don’t make it often enough.
    Describe the perfect vacation.
    Me and a bag of books relaxing by a quiet New Hampshire lake
    in the brilliant, warm sunshine.  I’ll
    let my dogs come, too.
    Tell us about your
    favorite toy as a child.
    I’ll show my geeky side here and say my mom’s medical
    dictionary.  I would pretend it was the
    grail diary from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.  It looked just like it and provided hours of
    make believe.
    What kinds of things do
    you read when you’re researching a new book?
    For this book, I read a lot of vacation websites.  I had lived in Portland for many years, but I
    wanted to visual Portland as if I were a reader, absorbing the city for the
    first time.
    If the hero of your latest
    book called you on the phone, what would be a perfect ringtone for him?
    K.C. and The Sunshine Band’s Boogie Shoes.
