    Genre Contemporary Christmas Short

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): G

    Collapsing in front the biggest department store in the city on one of the busiest days of the holiday season was not how Giselle imagined her day. Cold and hungry, she trudged through her daily existence wondering if she’d ever find happiness again.

    Teenagers. Ethan loved working with them and turning their raw musical talent into something beautiful and rewarding, but that didn’t fill the black void in his soul.

    Like fate, the songwriters’ muse nudged Giselle and Ethan together. But can Giselle overcome her fears and can Ethan get past the darkness that surrounds him, so they can find love?

    Know the Heroine from Love in the Key of C

    Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.

    It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?

    Plays her flute. A gift from her Nana.

    What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?

    At the moment, she is always hungry. She fantasizes about hot chicken noodle soup.

    Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.

    Warm wooly sweaters and thick comfy socks.

    Does she know how to fix things?

    No. If she could, the first thing she’d fix is her life.

    She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.

    Life.  Circumstances overwhelmed her and now she is living on the streets.

    How does she act around children she doesn’t know?

    Tense. She’d like to run and hide. She doesn’t want to hear their taunts. Her life at the moment is not what she’d planned.

    What is she like first thing in the morning?

    Scared about facing another day. If she buskers at a corner, will anyone donate? Can she make enough to find shelter and food for another night?

    Can she use chopsticks?

    It has been so long that she doesn’t know if she still can.

    Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?

    Hot coffee with lots of cream and sugar. That makes it sweet and fills the coldness in her stomach.

    What apps would she have on her phone?

    She has no phone. Phones cost money and every cent she gets is put towards food and shelter.

    Android or iPhone?

    When she has enough money to purchase a phone, whatever kind Ethan has.

    Earrings or unpierced ears?

    Pierced but no earrings to wear. They were stolen.

    Tattoos or unadorned skin?

    Unadorned.

    Personal vehicle or public transport?

    When she is lucky enough to afford it, public transport.

    Recycle or toss?

    Neither. Keep everything. It might become useful later.

    Thanks for helping us get to know your heroine!

Her daughter is grown and has flown the nest. Daryl loves to take long walks on her quiet country road or snowshoe across the back acres, and in the summer, kayak along the St. Lawrence River.

    Love in the Key of C by Daryl Devore writing as Victoria Adams @daryldevore #RLFblog #contemporary

    Daryl Devore writing as Victoria Adams author of Love in the Key of C.

    Please tell us about yourself.
    Two writers in one. Daryl Devoré writes hot romances with sexy heroes and strong heroines. Victoria Adams is Daryl Devoré’s alter ego when she’s inspired to write sweet romances with little to no heat.
    Daryl (@daryldevore) lives in an old farmhouse in Ontario, Canada, with her husband, a large salt water aquarium full of fish, a black cat named Licorice and some house ghosts. Her daughter is grown and has flown the nest. Daryl loves to take long walks on her quiet country road or snowshoe across the back acres, and in the summer, kayak along the St. Lawrence River. She has touched a moon rock, a mammoth, and a meteorite. She’s been deep in the ocean in a submarine, flown high over Niagara Falls in a helicopter, and used the ladies room in a royal palace. Life’s an adventure and Daryl’s having fun living it.
    What is your go-to meal when you dine out?
    Fish and chips. I could have mentioned meals in more upscale restaurants, but I’m guessing I’ve eaten more Fish and Chips than anything else. I have used the setting of a Fish and Chips restaurant in two books. It’s a relaxed atmosphere with comfort food.
    Describe the perfect vacation.
    I can do that in two words – the beach. I am at peace at the beach. I love to walk along the sand lost in my thoughts, splash in the water and just inhale the freshness of the salt air.
    What are your hobbies?
    I adore yoga and attend several classes a week. My favourites are Yin Yoga and Wall Yoga. What is Wall Yoga? Picture me hanging upside down – like a bat. Awww. So good.
    When you read for pleasure, what kind of books do you choose?
    I am a British Murder Mystery fan. I have complete collections Agatha Christie, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Dorothy L. Sayers and Ellis Peters. I love nothing more than to curl up on a cold winter’s day, next to our woodstove with a hot chocolate – with marshmallow of course – and a fantastic murder mystery.
    What kinds of things do you read when you’re researching a new book?
    I have two pen names, who write very different heat levels, so it depends on who I am as I am researching. As Daryl Devore, hot romance writer, the websites can get rather explicit as I look for new ideas or plot twists. For this latest book, I am writing as Victoria Adams and I researched theatres in New York City, musicians, and flutes.
