    Bitter Thorn Tribe (Stewards War, book 2) by Juli D Revezzo

    Genre: paranormal romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG

    Destined to be a bride, if only the gods will let her…

    Stacy Macken tries to acclimate herself to her training under Tuatha dé Danaan druids–as if she doesn’t have enough work in planning her wedding to her beloved guardian and fiancé Aaron.

    When Fomorii loyalists violate their treaty and seek deadly revenge for their recent defeat, even Stacy’s druids are at a loss to explain the mayhem that ensues.

    Can Aaron and his brothers-in-arms stop it before Stacy and her family are caught in the crossfire?

    Let’s bare it all and chat about what to wear

    First, what is your name and how old are you?

    Hello, my name is Aaron and… I’m 3,000 years old, give or take.

    What is the time period in which you live?

    Currently, I’m living in 2015. I came from the Iron Age, however.

    What is considered “appropriate” for someone of your gender to wear?

    These days, you folks are pretty simple in your clothing. Or restricted, depending. There was a time, my dear, when I’d go naked and no one would, as you say, bat an eye.

    How do you feel about wearing that type of clothing?

    I don’t really like ties. The damned things are too choking.

    Considering the role you play in society, what is expected for you to wear?

    These days? My Irish stick fighting school has a pretty loose uniform; in battle, I usually wear battle leathers, and every day, I’m fond of jeans and a t-shirt. In the Iron age, it was usually just loose linen pants, shirts, and cloaks when it was cold. But I live in Florida, now, and don’t usually have to break out the cold weather clothing.

    Ever required to wear something you don’t like? Tell us about it.

    Ties. Shudder. What fool came up with those things. You might as well wear a noose.

    Do you make your own clothing?

    No. The women in my tribe used to do most of the clothes construction; now, the Tuatha de Dannan have their own tailors, so I and my brothers-in-arms, usually go to them. For modern street clothes, the local tailor does well, but again, I usually turn to those of my tribe. But in a pinch, I’ve had to mend them before.

    Mending and laundry are chores for anyone. Do you do it or someone else?

    I do my own. Well, did, before I moved in with Stacy. Now, we share that chore.

    What determines the type of clothing you buy? (example, money, fashion, job)

    I go for comfort.

    When you wear something different, who’s the first person who notices?

    Usually Stacy.

    Tell us your favorite thing to wear.

    Nothing. ;)

    What kind of shoes or boots do you wear?

    I’m fond of combat boots. The last few years, I never know when I’m going to need them.

    Does what you wear make you feel good, or do you dislike it?

    As I go for comfort—especially if, you know, a battle with Balor’s minions should break out—I don’t hang my self-esteem on my clothing.

    When others see you what is their first impression?

    Bad guys, usually think twice.

    How do you feel about that impression?

    If it keeps Stacy safe, I’m all for it.

    What do you wear to sleep?

    ;D Nothing.

    Ever dealt with a “wardrobe malfunction”? Depending on your era, you might need to ask your author what this means.

    Find out what Aaron from Bitter Thorn Tribe wears to bed. Juli D Revezzo "bares" all @julidrevezzo #RLFblog #paranormalromanceNot that I can remember.

    Does anyone help you dress (other than a lover)?

    *stares* My dear, did you miss the part about my age? Okay, I’ll say the Tuatha de Dannan tailors, and there may’ve been a back buckle on a bandolier or two that was tricky.

    Have you ever worn:

    a uniform : Yes, if battle leathers count.

    a costume: Maybe when I was a child, I don’t remember, it’s been so long ago.

    a disguise: We did in our tribe for different ceremonies, but I haven’t worn one in… donkeys years.

    an outfit for the opposite gender: no.

    What would you wear to avoid attention?

    Whatever the dominant culture is wearing.

    What do you wish you could wear?

    I’m fairly happy with my current wardrobe, so I don’t really have an answer for that question, Kayelle.

    What do you wish you didn’t have to wear?

    Battle leathers. I’d love it if our war with Balor ended permanently.

    For the character to answer…

    Tell us what your author wears when writing about you.

    Usually jeans, t-shirt, and a flannel shirt.

    If your author has a pet, is the pet ever dressed in clothing?

    She doesn’t have a pet, but when as a child, yes she had cats and dogs. Her family never dressed them up, though.

    Same question for you. Pets in clothing, yay or nay?

    Hey, if it makes the owner happy, why not?

    Read Sannah, a Stone Age romance by Miriam Newman @miriamnewman #RLFblog #NewRelease # ancient times historical fiction #romanceTaken from her Stone Age camp by a man who is both warrior and shaman, Sannah must find a way to survive in the historical fiction romance, Sannah, by Miriam Newman.

    Miriam, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Sannah.

    Sannah by Miriam Newman

    Genre ancient times historical romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Taken captive in a raid on her Stone Age camp, Sannah is abducted by a man who is both warrior and shaman. Memmet believes she was given to him by the spirits and will keep her at any cost.

    Why did you write this book?

    After writing historical romance set in 1066 at the time of the Norman Conquest of England, I was looking for a little different period in history to explore. And, wow, did my muse respond—all the way back to the Stone Age.

    What is your favorite genre to read?

    Romance, definitely. Historical and fantasy are my two favorites, and if they are combined, so much the better!

    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?

    King Arthur was always a definite favorite.

    What are you working on at the moment?

    My historical fantasy trilogy, The Chronicles of Alicia, has just reverted to me and I am assembling it into an ebook and print bundle for readers both old and new.

    What books will we see from you in coming months?

    Aside from my trilogy, next year should see the release of two historical romances, Flame of Normandy and Clothilde. They are the prequel and sequel to my book The Comet, but can be easily read as standalone novels. Both go back to possibly my favorite time period, the Norman Conquest.

    Fantasy poetry driven by myths and legends has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I was published in poetry before catching the romance writing bug. I bring that background to my writing along with a lifelong addiction to horses, an 18 year career in various areas of psychiatric social services and many trips to Ireland, where I nurture my muse. My published works range from contemporary fantasy romance to fantasy historical, futuristic, science fiction and historical romance. Currently I live in rural Pennsylvania with a “motley crew” of rescue animals.

    Regan, Book 1, the Sisters O'Ryan by Dee S. Knight, writing as Jenna Stewart @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #historical #romance 1872 Oregon. In Dee S. Knight’s ménage a trois, two unusual men share widow Regan O’Ryan, promising her that in the West, dreams–and especially fantasies–can come true. 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.

    Regan, Book 1, the Sisters O’Ryan by Dee S Knight, writing as Jenna Stewart

    Genre Historical ménage romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Joining in the westward migration, Davey and Regan O’Ryan Stone bought an Oregon farm sight unseen, hungering for adventure. Davey regretted the impulse far past the point of no return, and then he died. Now, unskilled and alone on her farm, Regan fears going home a failure–as a daughter, a wife and a farmer. With money quickly running out, she gladly accepts the offer of help from Seth Pratt, an acquaintance from the wagon train, and his friend Haywood Lawrence.

    One-armed Seth seeks work at the remote farm at the end of an Oregon trail with low expectations. When he finds Regan, alone and widowed, he tamps down desire. She deserves better than a man handicapped in war, searching for his soul. She’s worthy of someone like his Shakespeare-spouting, best friend, Hay. Nothing could have prepared Seth for Regan’s simple solution–that both men stay. On the farm and in her bed.

    QUICK

    Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?

    Yes–in two sub-genre. Jenna Stewart is the name I use for ménage books (with the exception of two space opera ménage books, as Dee). As Jenna, I write historical and shifter ménage romance.

    How do you come up with ideas?

    I had the idea for the Sisters O’Ryan books (four of them), just kind of overnight. It felt like no real thought at all. Not sure where the idea came from, exactly. But another book I’d thought about for years was also historical. When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a nun in the worst way. My mom worked in a Catholic hospital and I was around nuns a great deal and I admired them. Back in the 1950s, nuns were very different from what we see today, so I wondered about a nun who joined the convent and was content–until she went home to Oregon to empty her mother’s house after her death. There she discovers secrets that have affected her whole life, and desire such as she’d never imagined. She was no longer content. After the passion she experienced, could she return to the convent? My publisher called it Seducing Their Nun–a title I’ve always hated. I wanted to call it Sins of the Mother, and if you give the book a try, you’ll understand why. I know people who have said they wouldn’t read the book because it was disrespectful to the church, but I promise, it isn’t! Anyway, from that book, I created a series of historical ménage romances that were connected by one character in the previous book–like six degrees of separation. The shifter books came about as a lark, just to see if I could do it.

    I like ménage romance because it demonstrates that a woman can indeed love two men at the same time. However (sigh), I also think it takes very unusual people to maintain such a relationship. Not too many of them around.

    What is the single most important part of writing for you?

    Creating an idea that will appeal to readers. And it also has to appeal to me as a writer. I have lots of ideas I think would work for a book but I don’t believe in the concept I would have to write or I simply don’t understand it, so I can’t possibly write it. I want to create work that people like and I would like to read myself.

    When did you write your first book?

    Gosh! It makes me feel old. As Dee, I wrote Impatient Passion in 2002. I wrote Burning Bridges (as Anne Krist) in 2005. As Jenna, I wrote Regan in 2012. You see it took me a while to come around to focusing on ménage!

    FUN

    Leather or lace? Leather

    Black or red? Red, definitely

    Satin sheets or smooth cotton? I know satin sheets have their problems, but what’s sexier than watching a satin sheet slip-slide off a naked body?

    Ocean or mountains? Ocean

    City life or country life? City

    Party life or evening at home? Evening at home, with my guys doing very naughty things

    Dogs or cats? Both. I love watching their interactions

    Shot Through the Heart by Andrea Downing

    Genre historical western romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13

    Gunslinger Shiloh Coltrane has returned home to work the family’s Wyoming ranch, only to find there’s still violence ahead. His sister and nephew have been murdered, and the killers are at large.

    Dr. Sydney Cantrell has come west to start her medical practice, aiming to treat the people of a small town. As she tries to help and heal, she finds disapproval and cruelty the payment in kind.

    When the two meet, it’s an attraction of opposites. As Shiloh seeks revenge, Sydney seeks to do what’s right. Each wants a new life, but will trouble or love find them first?

    QUICK

    Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?

    I write both historical and contemporary romance and women’s fiction, but so far all my books take place in the west. I’ve been using Wyoming fairly frequently as my setting as that’s where I live part-year (pandemics permitting!)

    How do you come up with ideas?

    Numerous different ways! My last book, Always on My Mind, devolved from an actual fight between cowboys and hippies at my local dancehall in the ’70s; Loveland came out of something I read about British aristocrats starting big cattle companies in the west. Shot Through the Heart started with the hero’s name, taken off my Cowboy calendar. Somewhere out there, there’s a real hero!

    What is the single most important part of writing for you?

    Character and conflict. Without really good characters, you have a very flat story, and without the conflict you have no story!

    When did you write your first book?

    Like most authors, that one is hidden away; mine is in boxes. It was written in the ’90s but I didn’t publish anything until 2012.

    FUN

    Leather or lace? Leather—cowhide!

    Black or red? Black. A gypsy once told me I’d die if I drove a red car so I avoid red.

    Satin sheets or smooth cotton? Cotton—I hate satin or silk sheets. Too slippery.

    Ocean or mountains? Mountains, though I’m lucky enough to live near each part-year.

    City life or country life? Country, of course.

    Party life or evening at home? Can I have both?

    Dogs or cats? Horses please? Okay, dogs if I must take one of those.

    Read the series: Lord of Her Heart by Gail Eastwood @GEastwoodAuthor #RLFblog #RegencyRomance #ReadARegencyIn Lord of Her Heart, Book One of Gail Eastwood’s new Regency series Tales of Little Macclow, long-parted friends get a new chance for love–or do they?

    Gail, 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 series.

    Lord of Her Heart, Book One in the Tales of Little Macclow series

    Genre: “sweet” Regency Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13

    Gail Eastwood launches a new Regency series with Lord of Her Heart

    An unexpected return. A new risk for old friends.

    As Little Macclow prepares to celebrate May Day, Tom Hepston’s arrival stirs expectations and speculation in the Derbyshire village. Tom left fourteen years ago. Now he is back, but he hasn’t come willingly and he has no plans to stay. He believes the physical and mental wounds from the naval career he has left behind have made him a madman no woman could–or should–love. Can he leave again before everyone sees the broken man he has become?

    Sally Royden’s young heart broke when Tom left the first time. After learning not to hope for his return, she now leads a satisfying life caring for her sister and serving as the village seamstress. She’s shocked to find him standing in her parlor. Tom’s experiences have changed him. Dare she hope for renewed friendship? Or even love? Or will her heart be broken twice–by the same man? In Little Macclow, love seems to have a power all of its own.

    Note: Part of the proceeds from this book will be donated to the Wounded Warriors Project and other non-profit organizations that support those fighting the challenges of PTSD.

    Which book is this in the series?

    I’ve titled Lord of Her Heart as Book One in my series, even though it’s not the first book I wrote in it. The book that is “second” in the series (now) was written as a stand-alone originally, my first-ever “Christmas” book, Lord of Misrule. But readers fell in love with my village setting, and wanted a series. And then I realized, of course, that there were a bunch more stories to tell! Lord of Her Heart takes place eight months prior to Lord of Misrule, so it seemed to be the starting point.

    How many books do you plan for the series?

    At present it looks like seven stories altogether, although a couple of those may be novellas rather than full-length books. There may be a short story or two to throw in as well.

    How many books are completed?

    Only the first two are out. I’m working on Book Three right now.

    What characters are the main stars in your series?

    Each book picks up the romance of different people connected to the village and stands as a complete story, but the characters overlap. For instance, the first book tells the romance story of Sally Royden, the village seamstress, while the second book’s heroine is her best friend, Cassie Tamworth, the daughter of Little Macclow’s vicar. But Sally’s younger sister Ellen, who works at the village inn, will get her own story later on, and so will some of the other young people you meet in the earlier books. A timeline links the stories. Readers have also asked for the story of the local squire and his wife, an older couple who figure in all the stories as they are central to life in Little Macclow. Their romance will be a prequel, eventually.

    What is the overall theme in this series?

    Little Macclow is a tiny, special, tucked-away place where Love seems to have some mysterious power –it may be magic or it might just be the way things happen there. I leave that up to the reader to decide. But the power of love is the grand theme. After all, it’s a romance series! J

    Please list the series titles below, in any order you prefer.

    Available:
    1 –Lord of Her Heart
    2 –Lord of Misrule
    Not out yet (working titles, not final)
    3. –A Little Macclow Wedding
    4. –His Lady to Love
    5. –A Stranger in Little Macclow
    6. –The London Visitor
    7. –Lady Anne’s Choice

    What did you like best about writing this series?

    I fall more in love with the village and its people the more I write about them. But it is also great fun to see how circumstance (or is it magic? Or just the power of Love?) can interfere (or assist) with everyone’s plans and intentions. I’m also enjoying the challenge of writing a series mostly about the common folks instead of the aristocracy and showing that they don’t have to have wealth or titles in order to still find their happy endings.

    What other books (not in this series, have you written?)

    I wrote seven traditional Regency romances back in the days of the old Signet/NAL Regency line. They were well-received, won some accolades and awards, but I had to take a sixteen-year break in my writing career due to a combination of family health crises with my mother, my husband and one of my sons. Ebooks were invented and the whole book world really changed during that time. I started my re-entry slowly, first re-editing and re-issuing some of my old backlist (and three are still with Penguin, unrevised). The Little Macclow books are my first new ones. Lord of Misrule was a finalist for the 2019 Maggie Award for Best Historical Romance, which really boosted my confidence. It’s kind of scary to come back after such a long break. Writing, like any skill, takes practice!

    Award-winning author Gail Eastwood started writing stories as soon as she learned to string words together on paper, and blames Beatrix Potter and A.A. Milne for making her a devoted Anglophile at a very early age. After detours into journalism and rare books, she finally found her path writing Signet Regencies acclaimed for their emotional depth and innovative plots. Twice nominated for RomanticTimes Magazine’s Career Achievement award, a Golden Leaf winner and twice a Holt Medallion finalist, Gail had to put writing on hold to deal with family health issues. But now she’s back doing what she loves best and offering readers a new, heart-warming Regency series set in a small village possibly touched by magic (or it is just the power of Love?), Tales of Little Macclow.
