Alice, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your heroine, but first, tell us about The Holiday Mermaid.
The Holiday Mermaid by Alice Renaud
Genre paranormal romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): RAdam fell for surfer girl Rowena the second he saw her. But just as their summer fling was becoming serious, she left him without any explanation. Now, with Christmas just a few days away, she’s back… and Adam discovers that she’s a shape-shifting mermaid, from a Clan that hates humans. Can he love her as she is? Can she brave her family to be with Adam for good, not just for Christmas?
Know Rowena from The Holiday Mermaid
Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.
It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
She goes for a swim. There’s always some fish to chase or a dolphin to chat to.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
Fresh seafood. Oysters, shrimp, mussels… raw or cooked she loves them all.
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
As little as possible. Clothes are a hindrance when you’re a shape shifting mermaid, they make the transformation more difficult.
Does she know how to fix things?
Yes, as long as it’s something related to a boat or the sea. She can repair a fishing net in minutes, but don’t ask her to change a plug or fix a car engine. She’s never driven in her life, and she spent most of her life underwater until she met Adam.
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
She was always attracted to the human world. One summer, she took advantage of the fact that her uncle and cousins were away to visit a human village on the coast. She met a young local man, Adam, and was immediately drawn to him. She thought she could have a summer fling, and then go back to her life as a dutiful mermaid of the Regor Clan. But she fell in love. She left Adam without a word or a note, because she couldn’t tell him the truth… but couldn’t bear to lie to him.
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
She loves children. She is warm and playful with them. She finds it easier to relate to human children than to adults. She would love to have children of her own one day.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
Bright and sparky and ready to go, to catch the morning tide!
How does she act around people who don’t know what she is?
She is always on her guard, for fear of betraying her secret. Shape-shifting mermaids and mermen are supposed to keep their true nature hidden from humans.
Will she let a worker handle things or do it herself?
She’d have to let a worker handle things if it was something she didn’t have a clue about – like human inventions such as cars or electricity. But she prefers to do things herself when she can. She was brought up to work hard and be self-sufficient, as her parents died young and she was brought up mostly by her stern and traditional uncle, Rhys, leader of the Regor Clan.
Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?
Mermaids in the Regor Clan don’t wear jewelry or tattoos until they get married.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
In the human world, public transport. But she likes her surfboard best of all.
Recycle or toss?
Recycle. Mermen and mermaids love the sea and the coast and do everything in their power to keep them clean.
Thanks for helping us get to know your heroine!

Genre Paranormal
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): Mature
I’m home alone in my favorite chair, just about to snuggle in for the night with Shifting Magic when I hear someone whisper my name.
I turn left. I turn right. No one is there.
It’s just my imagination running away with anticipation— a whole weekend to myself.
I download the collection from the Paragons of Paranormal, and the back of my neck tingles. Someone is watching me.
I read, “There is a physical plane—the one where you’re reading a book in your favorite chair. There are also unseen realms, magical realms where wondrous, fantastical things occur. These realms brush the one where you’re sitting. All you have to do is open your device and let yourself go.”

Tena, 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 Vampire’s Unlikely Alliance.
A Vampire’s Unlikely Alliance by Tena Stetler
Genre Paranormal Romance/Mystery
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
Stefan is a Native American vampire, former assassin for the Vampire Council. In a twist of fate, he now DJ’s the midnight shift for a small radio station in Whitefish, Montana, on the edge of Glacier National Park where his secret is safe until…
Born in Ireland, Brandy now works as a park ranger and trail guide in the park. During a full moon, Stefan and Brandy’s paths cross in a near physical collision on a trail. Their attraction is immediate and undeniable, almost as if fate demanded it.
Their union was foretold long ago in Irish folk tales where vampires and gryphons, warlocks and demons, witches and faeries must work together for the good of man and magic kind. Is a trip to Ireland the key to unraveling secrets and returning the magic? And even more importantly, will their love survive the trip?
What’s in your character’s pockets, backpack, or purse?
What does your character always carry?
It depends on whether he’s going into battle or going to work at the radio station. Given the current set of circumstances, he has donned his full-length black leather duster with internal pockets that hold platinum spelled daggers and poison wrist arrows. A pocket in the back holds a leather scabbard for his sword. Then there is his ankle holster that houses a 9mm semi-automatic weapon.
Vampire’s use their speed, strength and thrall most of the time, but when enemies come equipped with an arsenal of their own, other means are necessary.
Is there an item your character carries for good luck and if so, what is it?
Crazy or not his 9mm is his lucky charm. He’s never had to use it.
Does your character carry money and if so, in what form (cash, credit, etc.)?
He carries cash depending on where he is going and how long he’ll be gone.
What else besides pockets does the character use to carry things?
Holster and a full-length black leather duster created to carry a cache of specialized weapons in inside pockets.
What is one thing your character wouldn’t be caught dead carrying?
A leather whip. That’s a story for another time.
Has anything in your character’s pockets ever gotten them in trouble?
Only if someone finds out what he is carrying. In the little town he now calls home, he doesn’t usually need his arsenal. However, things are changing and the woman he’s attracted to has attracted something every dark and sinister.
Has anything in your character’s pockets ever saved the day?
Numerous times, most recently when a dark demon disguised as a receptionist showed up at the radio station and things went south quickly.
Questions for the Character to Answer About the Author
What does your author always carry?
Her conceal carry permit and what it allows.
What does your author dislike carrying but has to?
Promotional items related to her books. They always get bent and tattered in her backpack rendering them useless.
What does your author carry for luck?
Not sure if it’s for luck, but she carries a Leatherman tool. It really comes in handy in a lot of situations mortals get themselves into. Especially her, she is a trouble magnet.
How organized is your author’s backpack / purse?
Very! Her backpack has four pockets on the outside, two on the inside and a large open space, Everything has a place and she keeps it there.
What does your author prefer to use when it comes to items like backpacks / purses?
Backpacks with lots of pockets. Or cross-body purse with a long strap.
If your author could buy an item to carry things in and money was no object, what would it be?
Her purple backpack. Or her orange cross body purse. I think she’s attached to those things.
