The Life and Times of Sherlock-Holmes (#2) by Liese Sherwood-FabreReturn, once again, to 1895…
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle references many everyday Victorian activities and elements of daily life that are lost on the twenty-first century reader. These short essays provide further understanding of nineteenth-century England and insight into the tales of Sherlock Holmes. With greater appreciation of such details as the significance of the blue ribbon, the role of doss houses for the poor, or how one contracted brain fever, Holmes’s cases take on a deeper meaning.
Explore such topics as the Victorian pastimes of horse racing, boxing, and train travel; how the role of women changed with the introduction of the bicycle and typewriter; and common pleasures such as visiting pubs or drinking tea. The reader steps back to the London of 1895 and the realm of the world’s most famous consulting detective.
“We have…always found [Dr. Sherwood-Fabre’s] essays to be both entertaining and informative as well as very well researched.”
– Joel Senter, editor The Sherlockian E-Times

To avoid tabloid reporters and well-meaning friends, Tom holes up in a cottage protected by high walls…and broods.
Service dog trainer and old friend, Meg Klein, shows up on Tom’s doorstep with a seizure response dog. Bob, a tiny but talented canine, makes it almost impossible for Tom to cling to his black mood.

Wherever Love Finds You by Laura Haley-McNeil @laurarmcneil #RLFblog #NewRelease #Contemporary Romance
Laura Haley-McNeil, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.Wherever Love Finds You by Laura Haley-McNeil
Genre Contemporary Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
It’s his game. He makes the rules. Rule number one – only he can break the rules.
Zach Lowe lives his life without relationships in business and personally. Getting involved doesn’t work well when you’re the Black Knight of Wall Street.
Ellora Duvall, the sweet kid who crushed on him in high school, waltzes into the world of corporate finance with the same wide eyed innocence she had in chemistry class. He hadn’t expected her to affect him the way she did, but he’s in control. A few weeks with Ellora will be pure pleasure, then he’ll move on. She’ll understand. He should, too.
Who broke his rules?
Why did you write this book?
I’ve wanted to write a brides series for years. I wanted to write stories where the characters fall in love and get married. One of the settings for this first is New York City, a place I adore. I devour books based in New York. As this story developed, I had to make sure what the characters said and did was typical of New York. These characters have been developing in the back of my mind until I had to stop what I was doing and just write the story. It was great fun writing the story and brought back a lot of memories.
What is your favorite genre to read? I have a couple. I love historical romances based in the south. I mean, who doesn’t want to marry Rhett Butler? And I love romantic suspense. Mr. and Mrs. Smith is one of my favorite movies. I love how Angelina Jolie is Brad Pitt’s equal.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
I think I gave it away earlier, but I do adore Scarlett. She’s so strong and she loves her family. She can completely ignore what they think of her and know that it’s her responsibility to make sure they have food in their mouths and a roof over her head. She forges ahead with blinders on. Nothing sways her from her goals. I love that attitude.
What are you working on at the moment?
The 7th book of the Crystal Creek Series is with the copyeditor. I’m excited because it gave me a chance to rewrite the ending of a very famous musical. The famous musical totally has the wrong ending, and it gave me the opportunity to create a heroine with my favorite career. I hope to release the book in September. Now that the release date is in writing, I’d better release it in September. LOL!
What books will we see from you in coming months?
I’m working on another Crystal Creek Boxed Set which I hope to release in time for Christmas! Ho! Ho! Ho! And I’m about halfway through the 1st draft of the 2nd book in the Beaumont Brides Series which is set in my 2nd favorite city in the whole world—Charleston, South Carolina.Where to buy Wherever Love Finds You

Half-Broke Heart by Tarina Deaton @tarinadeaton #RLFblog #MilitaryRomance #ContemporaryRomance
Tarina Deaton, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.Half-Broke Heart by Tarina Deaton
Genre: Military/Contemporary Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Denise Reynolds is used to putting up a good front to show the world a strong, capable woman, but keeps a lot of things buried deep.
Chris Nolton is everything she learned the hard way to avoid — a sexy alpha-male who could charm her out of her pants and work his way into her heart. If history has taught her anything, it’s a deadly combination, but he manages to dig up emotions and longing she’s tried to bury for years.
He says all the right things and pushes her boundaries in all the right ways. Letting her guard down is difficult, especially since believing all the right things in the past led to unimaginable consequences.
Being content with her life may no longer be an option, but risking her heart may bring her to her knees.QUICK
Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?…
Not right now. I love to read historical and paranormal romance, but I know I would nit-pick over all the tiny details if I tried to write in another genre. Plus, I’m still getting my feet under me as an author and I want to be strong in the genre I’m familiar with before I try to branch out into my own unchartered-territory.
How do you come up with ideas?…
It varies by the story. Sometimes I’ll hear a song or read an article that makes me wonder what led to that point. Then I start imagining the people and the scenes and I build from there. Sometimes, a full scene will come to me and it’s in the middle of the book and I have to work forward and back from that point. I don’t always immediately know where the story began or where it will end, but that’s one of the things I love about writing.
What is the single most important part of writing for you?…
Emotion. I love the stories that make me laugh and cry and pull at my heart-strings. That level of emotion and connection is always my goal when I’m writing.
When did you write your first book?…
In Mrs. Pamay’s fifth grade class we made cloth frogs, stuffed them with beans and we all had to write a story to go along with our frog. My frog’s name was Frogetta. She was a police officer and she stopped a bank robbery. That’s probably not what you were expecting. LOL. I published my first novel late 2016. Since then I’ve published three full-length novels and a novella in the same series as well as a novella in an anthology. There’s also a bonus novella only available to my newsletter subscribers.FUN
