    Character Interview: Chance Ralan from Forever is Now @KimberVale #RLFblog

    Forever Is Now 
    Kimber Vale, welcome back to Romance Lives Forever. We’re excited
    to interview your character, Chance Ralan from the book Forever is Now.
    Genre: Contemporary, M/M
    Publisher: Liquid Silver Books
    Cover artist: Valerie Tibbs
    Length: 51,000
    Heat rating: Hot
    Tagline:
    If you love someone, set him free. If he steals something of
    yours, hunt him down and make him sorry.

    Blurb:

    Alex Bremen is over Chance Ralan. Ever since his high school
    boyfriend ditched him nine years ago, Alex has barely thought of Chance at all.
    Sure, Alex attended a concert or two when his ex’s band, Armageddon Showdown, was
    in the area, but that was more curiosity than anything else. Who wouldn’t want to
    see firsthand how his once clean-cut boyfriend transformed into a pierced and tattooed
    heavy metal god?
    But when Chance has the nerve to record a love song Alex wrote
    for him years ago, Alex crosses the country to confront him. Revenge becomes a dish
    best served sizzling hot. The two men lock horns, but find the chemistry between
    them has only intensified with time, and occasionally love needs to do some growing
    up before it can be done right.

    Interview with Chance Ralan

    Tell us about yourself.
    Hi. My name is Chance and I’m a recovering alcoholic. Oh, wait.
    Wrong place for that.
    Tell us about Alex.
    Well, he’s hot as hell, for one thing.
    Actually, he’s too good to me, but at the same time, he doesn’t
    put up with my shit. It works, ya know? He makes me a better person, which is pretty
    much how the whole partner thing goes, I guess. Whenever I step on my own dick,
    he’s the first one to point it out, but also the first one to kiss it and make it
    better.
    What do you think is your strongest point?
    Being a killer musician, for sure.
    What would Alex say is your strongest point?
    Ummm…how great my ass looks in leather? I don’t know. Maybe my
    drive to succeed.
    What would Alex say is your biggest weakness?
    I’ve been accused of being selfish once or twice. Yeah, probably
    being full of myself. But, I mean, can you blame me?
    What was it like where you grew up?
    Newburg, New York?
    Honestly, it was kind of a hole, if you know what I mean. Some rough crowds. Some
    crime. So you get into your own group of assholes and ride it out. Strength in numbers
    and all that. Sticking out too far was never a good plan.
    What do you wish was different about your life?
    If I had a time machine, I guess I’d…ah fuck. Don’t make me answer
    that. I’m pretty sure saying that I’d do the same shit over again would only get
    me in trouble, and I’m not so sure I’d change.
    Describe a place of perfect refuge.
    I’d love my own island. White sand,
    tiki hut with all the amenities. Just peace and quiet until I feel like making some
    noise with my guitar. I wanna play a concert for a bunch of fishes. And Alex. He’d
    be one of my amenities.                  Maybe
    the dog could come too. Maybe.
