Opposities Attract? @vickibatman #RLFblog
Opposites Attract?
I come from a family of four girly girls, and my other half comes
from four rough and tumble boys. We have two boys. So yes, the testosterone gets
thick at my house!Running out and doing the football thing? Not so much.Running to the antique mall? Yipee. My men would rather stick
needles in their eyes. LOLSometimes, there are remarkable differences between the opposite
sexes. Check these out (mostly generalities):Man WomanAction adventure movie Romantic comedyNon-fiction books Romance booksDuck Dynasty HGTVA fast sportscar, big truck A practical SUVThick burger and fries Small one with
ten friesChocolate shake WaterSpit on small cut Antiseptic with bandageLarge dog Small
dog, catTen oz ribeye 4 oz filetLoaded baked potato Small saladNo bread Bread
with butterNo dessert Anything
sweetHandwash car Car
wash with vacuumDonuts Multi-grain
cerealSurfs through TV commercials Reads thru TV commercialsLoves to cook Hates to cookSee? Just from this small list, we notice the big differences.But isn’t being different a good thing? Would we always want
to like the same things?What I notice is how the columns complement each other. Kinda
like a balance. So no, we don’t always like the same things. I don’t always watch
romantic comedies. I adore Indiana Jones and James Bond, but will never be a huge
fan of Duck Dynasty! On occasion, I eat a donut and deny myself dessert, like bad
bread pudding. And my other half loves HGTV. Go figure.Our characters — usually — imitate real life. Can’t you see
a hunky guy chowing down on humongous steak, and the girl daintily eating a salad
or smaller meal? (And all the while she is secretly thinking “I wish I could
eat like that.”)Or our hero lounging on the couch with remote superglued to his
hand while the heroine is about to blow her top because he won’t land on the romantic
comedy? She picks up her HGTV magazine.Not all of these generalities are hard core true. See the cooking
thingy, for example. My men would rather throw meat on the grill while I like to
gather a couple of things together and “assemble” something to eat.The truth is if we are identical, we’d bore each other. We want
to be interesting to our other half. To balance and complement each other. And occasionally,
bend our other half’s way because that is what we do in a relationship. We grow,
live, do.Let’s add to the list. What are some guy/girl things?About the Author
Vicki Batman has three men in the house and often muses why God
did that to her.Find Me Here

Gay Romance: On Valentine’s Day @Raine_Delight #RLFblog
Raine Delight, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. Let’s talk about
your book, the On Valentine’s Day anthology story, my story is called Moonlight
Masquerade.Genre: M/MPublisher: Sara York in conjunction with It’s Raining MenCover artist: Sara York, and Jared RacklerLength: 353 pages/10 stories by eleven authorsHeat rating: Sweet to scorching hot/my story is sweet and sensualTagline: Fall in love with On Valentine’s DayBlurb:For Moonlight Masquerade:Mysterious roses keep popping up on Skylar Everclear’s doorstep.
No idea what is going, a little disturbed by this secret admirer, he tries to forget
it all since he just got rid of the latest line of loser boyfriends and just wants
to do his job at the local bakery. But when he meets his new neighbor, Marc Douglas,
he finds himself drawn to the quiet young man even as he tries not to let his libido
take over. But on Valentine’s Day, a mysterious rose again pops up with a note to
meet his admirer that night. Will Skylar take a chance that this time, love is right
there waiting for him?Buy links:Amazon: http://amzn.com/1482020041/What are your main characters’ names, ages, and occupations?Skylar Everclear is about 30 years old and a baker at a local
bakeryMarc Douglas is around 29 and works at the local shipyard.Interview
If you could change something about your first book, what
would it be?I would make it a bit longer and more fleshed out.What do you enjoy most about writing?Creating new characters and worlds. I love opening a new word
document and letting my muse take over.How do you cope with stress as an author?With lots of coffee and my sounding board, my partner of seven
years.Which of your books would you recommend to someone who doesn’t
normally read your genre, and why?If you enjoy paranormal with romance, then please try my Devon Falls
series. Each book is a new set of main characters but past characters pop up and
help move the story along. I have dream walkers, shifters and soon the fae as well
as elemental mages will be popping in.What kind of books do you read when taking a break from your
own writing?All depends on my mood. Lately I am into fantasy such as Jim
Butcher, Gail Z. Martin and a few others plus my m/m faves such as Sue Brown, Andrew
grey and more.What do you think is the future of traditional publishing?I think traditional publishing is now just seeing how well e-books
are really doing and though late to the party, they are trying to play catch up
even after many years of scoffing at e-books and their popularity. I would love
to see the big six redo their publishing model and make it more relevant to today’s
changing world as well as fighting against e-book pirates.Imagine you get to go on a dream vacation, but you have only
one hour to pack and leave, and it starts as soon as you finish this interview.
What will you take with you and where will you go?Some place warm…maybe Hawaii
since I have never been there. Shorts, bathing suit and maybe my trusty yoga pants
as well as a few pairs of jeans. If money is no object then I am planning to buy
clothes there. JWhat good book have you read recently?I am loving Gail Z. Martin’s Chronicles of the Necromancer/Fallen
Kings series…wonderful fantasy and in e-books, I loved Andrew Grey’s debut young
adult story, By The Creek under pen name Geoff Laughton. Exquisitely written and
very heartfelt.If you were a color, what color would you be?I am an all shades of blue or purple kind of girlPlease underline which statement is more like you:“I am a vacation spa because I am laid back and relaxed.”“I am a ten-countries in ten-days tour vacation, because
I do things as fast as possible.”Please complete the sentences
I love pizza with black olives, pepperoni, and mushrooms.I’m always ready for unexpected company with plenty of coffee
and cookies around my house.When I’m alone, I like curling up in my honey’s big easy chair
and reading on my nook.You’d never be able to tell, but I had over a dozen surgeries
in my teens for cervical spine cancer.If I had a halo it would be hung up on my devil horns.If I could be anyone I’d be Johnny Depp’s assistant.I can never have too many books because it’s unnatural
not to have books IMO.Find Me Here
