    The Sheriff’s Christmas by Lorelei Confer

    Five days before Christmas, an old flame of the Sheriff’s returns to Saddle Creek, Wyoming to convince him to run away with her and take all his wife’s money with them. She disappears quickly and, in her haste, leaves something behind.

    While searching for Christmas decorations in the attic of the Travis B&B, the owner, Deputy Ronnie Travis Rogers finds a hidden trunk that belonged to her late Aunt Sally. What she finds inside is a mystery that could change the entire dynamics of her family. Will she pursue it? Or keep it a secret?

    After years of working on Christmas Eve, the Sheriff is finally able to attend the annual Christmas Eve celebration with his three best friends who he considers them his brothers (from another mother) and their growing families at Rosie’s Diner. Mitch and Ronnie return to their home with the promise of love, joy and happiness; the true meaning of Christmas.

    Sheriff Mitch Rogers and his new wife, Deputy Ronnie Travis Rogers, Owner of the Travis B&B in Saddle Creek, Wyoming, share their First Christmas together with an unexpected gift left behind by an old flame of the Sheriff’s.

    Sheridan DeMarco wants to be anywhere but home for the holidays. She’s happy to spend Christmas house-sitting in South Carolina, far away from her parents’ new blended families. Too bad when she arrives at the charming beach cottage, she isn’t as blissfully alone as she planned.

    Michael “Mikey” Patterson needs to stay out of sight until his attorney gives him the all clear. He finds the perfect place in a small coastal town, but there’s a problem. Mikey isn’t the only one staying at the beach house, and his surprise roommate pushes all his buttons.

    A sprig of mistletoe and one memorable kiss make Sheridan and Mikey forget their plans to stay away from each other. But when family gets in the way, will their happily ever after get tossed out along with the discarded wrapping paper and tinsel?

    The Christmas Kiss by Augustina Van HovenIt's time for a Christmas Romance - 6 authors share their best #RLFblog #ChristmasRomance @loreleiconfer @AugustinaVHoven @TheCaroCarson @MelissaMcClone @KatyEeten

    What happens under the mistletoe…

    When a sledding accident catapults governess Annabelle O’Sullivan ninety-four years into the future, she panics. She doesn’t know how to get back to 1925, and she doesn’t know how to survive in the twenty-first century. Annabelle must depend on the kindness of a stranger and his daughter, and she repays that kindness the only way she knows how: by making a home. The longer she stays, the less she wants to leave. But can she trust this stranger with her life?

    Since the death of his wife, Daniel Wagner has shut down his heart to everyone except his daughter, Olivia. Other women—including some of his employees at the ski lodge he manages—have angled for his attention. But Daniel found avoidance easy, until he was forced to rescue an unconscious woman lying in a snowdrift by the side of the road. Although the stranger seems to have no past, Daniel soon finds himself thinking about a present—and a future—with her.

    First Class Christmas by Katy Eeten

    It's time for a Christmas Romance - 6 authors share their best #RLFblog #ChristmasRomance @loreleiconfer @AugustinaVHoven @TheCaroCarson @MelissaMcClone @KatyEetenWhen Mandy Brockman flies home from her friend’s destination wedding, her heart is on empty at the thought of spending Christmas alone. It doesn’t help that her ex is on the plane, seemingly unaffected by their breakup. But the kind-hearted man seated next to her seems to have it all together—and he’s handsome to boot. She knows her emotional healing won’t come in the form of another guy, but will the source of this man’s peace and joy help Mandy find the Christmas she’s looking for?

    CJ Hawkins is captivated by the beautiful, feisty woman he meets on his flight. The only thing is, she’s fresh out of a relationship, and he has no interest in being anyone’s rebound. But the more he learns about Mandy, the more he’s drawn to her unique mixture of compassion and spunk. Can he figure out how to make their relationship take off before this First Class Christmas is grounded forever?

    A vampire encounters the impossible in Tricia Schneider’s new paranormal romance inside Holidays Bite: A Limited Edition Collection of Holiday Vampire Tales. How can a woman from the 21st century know of a vampire’s dark past?

    Tricia, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about A Whisper from the Grave.

    A Whisper from the Grave, featured inside Holidays Bite: A Limited Edition Collection of Holiday Vampire Tales by Tricia Schneider

    Genre Paranormal Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Josie Drummond breathes life onto canvas as she paints compelling portraits and scenes of people who lived and died long ago. The images are inspired by the brief flashes she witnesses during intensely painful migraine episodes. She thinks it’s just her creativity at work until the man in her paintings walks into her life one Christmas Eve. And if what she sees in her imagination is true then… Antonio is no ordinary man.

    He’s a vampire.

    Antonio is shocked to discover his undead life portrayed on canvases hanging along Jackson Square. Even more mysterious is the woman who paints them. How can a woman from the 21st century know of his dark past in a life he lived hundreds of years ago?

    ‘Tis the Season…for vampires!

    When the days grow shorter and dusk comes earlier, we may spend our time decorating with holly and mistletoe, drinking cider, and playing in the snow. But the creatures who stalk the night are in their element—and while visions of sugarplums dance in our heads, they’re lurking in the shadows, knowing there’s nothing so delicious as a vampire’s kiss.

    So settle in for a long winter’s night full of winter holiday vampire tales from these New York Times, USA Today, and international bestselling authors. Including paranormal romance, urban fantasy, and dark fantasy, this collection give a whole new meaning to the term heartwarming.

    Because sometimes, the holidays truly bite.

    QUICK

    What’s your favorite book?…

    I have way too many favorites when it comes to books, but the first that comes to mind is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. It’s a gothic romance classic that I always enjoy re-reading.

    What’s a genre you want to write?…

    While I love writing romances because of the guaranteed happily-ever-after, I would enjoy writing urban fantasy, too.

    Best writing advice you ever heard?…

    Read. Pick the type of book you want to write and read everything you can. If you want to write mystery, read 20 mystery books. Is romance your thing? Then read as much of the romance genre as you can. You can pick up a lot by simply reading in that genre. It’s a great place to start.

    What’s the title and genre of your first book, and where can we find it?

    The Witch and the Wolf is a paranormal romance published by The Wild Rose Press and can be found at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. http://www.triciaschneider.com/books/paranormal-romance/the-witch-and-the-wolf/

    Easy

    Coffee or tea? Hot tea. Lavender and honey tea is my favorite, but mostly any green tea.

    Sit down dinner or drive through? Drive thru. Sit down dinners are saved for special occasions.

    Fold laundry immediately or let it sit? Fold it. I can’t stand wrinkles.

    Unload dishwasher right away or use dishes from it? Sadly, my dishwasher broke three years ago. I have to hand wash dishes which is not fun with four kids who feel the need to get a new cup every time they need a drink. But, when it was working, I would unload it immediately.

    Driving for pleasure or avoid driving anywhere? Driving for pleasure. I love to visit new places. Sometimes I go for a ride with no destination in mind. Just going where the road takes me.

    Talk or text? Talk.

    Emoji or smilie? Emoji

    Once upon a time a group of writer friends–helping a member with a particularly difficult thread in a continuity series contrived by her editors–got the grandiose idea to create a continuity series of their own.
    Yes, this was us, and we threw ourselves wholeheartedly into developing characters, fashioning families, family dynamics, and a setting, which evolved from one member’s love of all things Colorado. We created family trees, character profiles, detailed maps, brainstormed titles and themes. We collected photos and researched and even started the stories. We proposed our idea to a few publishers and got no traction. So, after a time the contracted books came first, two members dropped out of the group, a couple new ones came and went. But the core group remained.
    In a tragic turn of events we lost a beloved friend and co-writer. Grief took the remaining wind from our sails. We recovered slowly, welcomed a new friend to our critique group. Then came a day when we got together and said, “We’re going to get serious and do this!” Energy built, and the series took on new life. A previous co-creator joined us again. Now, here we are, years after the initial idea, sharing the finished stories with you and hoping you will feel the same intensity and appreciation for this project as we do.
    We have many more stories to share, and the ideas keep coming. Look for more books to follow in Aspen Gold: The Series.
