    Interview with Lisa Carlisle

    Why did you write
    this book?
    Dark Stranger is part three in the Chateau Seductions
    trilogy. The manager of the art colony is a loyal companion to the owner of the
    chateau, Antoine. Since Cameron was first introduced in book 1, Dark Velvet, I
    knew he deserved his own story. How did he end up working for a supernatural
    being on a remote island when he is human? How does he feel about the
    isolation?
    With the wolf shifters coming to the island and his wariness
    of shifters from an earlier altercation, I wanted to see what would happen with
    him paired up with one of them. And oh my, the forbidden attraction is hot!
    Especially when Nadya resists the idea of her mate being human.
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    Paranormal romance, especially shifter romance at the
    moment.
    Who is your favorite
    character from fiction (not including your own)?
    I’m a sucker for dark, brooding characters. My favorites are
    Dracula and Heathcliff, and if we’re including movies, Darth Vader. I’ve always
    had a bit of an obsession with him.
    What are you working
    on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    I’m finishing up a short story with one of the characters
    from the Chateau Seductions series. Also, I’ve started book two in the Highland
    Gargoyles series, the follow up to Knights of Stone.
    Please tell us about
    your latest book.
    Dark Stranger is part 3 of the Chateau Seductions trilogy
    Wolf shifters come to Chateau
    seeking a missing pack member. During an altercation, Cameron Stevens, the
    manager of the art colony, is separated from the others. He ends up alone with
    Nadya, one of the female shifters.
    Together, in the forests of DeRoche
    Island, they struggle against conflicting feelings. In addition to battling
    each other as well as their mistrust, they fight a powerful, inexplicable
    attraction to one another—one that leaves them irrevocably entwined.
    They’re mates? Cameron can’t
    comprehend or accept such a thing is possible. They’re two different species
    and their worlds don’t mesh. He can’t fight the heated desire burning between
    them and her touch is impossible to resist. His heart and mind aren’t on the
    same page where she’s concerned. One thing is certain—Nadya is stamped on both.
    Paranormal, Erotic Romance

    Dai’s Dark Valentine
    by Dariel Raye 
    This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces
    the story. Join the author’s Facebook party on Feb 21st for fun and giveaways.
    What happens when a sheltered cat-shifter and a dark fey come
    together?
    Three-hundred years is a long time, but left to its own devices,
    what began as the vendetta of one man can grow to encompass even more formidable
    hatred.
    Daitre Salons is a beautiful but naïve heiress whose true heritage
    has been kept secret even from her. Now, her abilities are emerging and her father’s
    enemies want her dead, but what bothers her most is that her new husband “in
    name only” insists on treating her like a child.
    Joban Beaucoup, professional guard to the Salons family, and
    dark fey (alternate spelling from Vodouin origin), has chosen to leave the quaint
    yet suffocating French town of his orphan-childhood and venture to the Americas,
    but he needs one thing he cannot concoct, despite his magical abilities: a wife.
    When Joban agrees to marry Daitre and take her to the Americas
    with him, he carries her three-thousand miles away, then whisks her three-hundred
    years into the future to assure her safety, but while Daitre struggles to adjust
    to this strange new world, manage her newfound powers, and make peace with her feelings
    for Joban, Joban learns that even here, their enemies have followed them, now more
    deadly than ever.

    Ley Lines: Ruled by the Moon @TheGoddessNaomi #RLFblog #PNR

    Ruled by the Moon
    by Naomi Bellina 

    By Naomi Bellina

    I’m minutes away from hopping on a plane leaving St. Louis Missouri.
    I’ve been visiting my mom and sister and I’m waaaaaay past ready to go home. For
    one thing, I’m freezing my butt off! Time to get back to Florida. I grew up in St.
    Louis and I knew without a doubt, it was not the place I wanted to spend the rest
    of my life. Now before you St. Louis dwellers start blasting me for picking on your
    city, let me say, there are many wonderful features of this area. Fans love and
    support their sport teams, for sure. St. Louis offers a wide variety of good food
    and entertainment, a fantastic highway system, nearby wineries to make you drool
    and the most beautiful autumns you’ll ever see.
    But not for me. I longed for something more in whatever place
    I lived. I can’t describe what that something was, but knew I’d recognize it when
    I felt it. In Ruled by the Moon, magical people such as witches and werewolves are
    drawn to Nocturne because of powerful ley lines that run through the area. I’ve
    always been fascinated with ley lines so I did some research and found they could
    very well be running through my fictitious Midwestern United States town. Check
    out this Google
    page for some great maps of ley lines. They’re everywhere! According to Wikipedia, ley lines are
    “…supposed alignments of numerous places of geographical and historical interest,
    such as ancient monuments and megaliths, natural ridge-tops and water-fords.”
    I believe they’re spots that contain certain kinds of power.
    On this visit to St. Louis, I checked in to see if I could feel
    energy from that strong line running through Missouri. Nope. At least not anything
    I could pick up. Or maybe, the energy that flowed was exactly what I found unpleasant.
    Maybe it affected me on some level I wasn’t even aware of. I live in Florida now
    and though there are many qualities I love about this state (it’s soooooo much better
    to be here in February), it’s still not quite my perfect home. I’ve always been
    drawn to mountains and after a recent visit to Taos, New Mexico, would love to explore
    that area. Maybe one day.
    How about you? Do you have a place that resonates with your soul?
    Thank you so much for visiting today.

    About the Book

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    A psychic vet, a secretive werewolf, a menace stalking the shifters.
    Welcome to Nocturne.
    Dylan is a werewolf with a problem. He shifts at the new moon
    as well as at the full moon. He was born a werewolf, not made like most shape-changers
    and due to these unique traits he’s avoided joining a pack and has given up hope
    of having a normal life. Morgan is a veterinarian, ready to be on her own for a
    good long time after leaving a cheating, spineless husband. She has a plan for her
    life that doesn’t include a bossy, furry man.
    Both are drawn to Nocturne, a town filled with magic due to a
    strong convergence of ley lines in the area. Morgan and Dylan recognize a connection
    when they meet, but neither one is looking for romance. After a harrowing encounter
    with a panther shape-shifter, they must combine forces and work together to uncover
    a menace that threatens the town. If they can learn to trust each other and let
    their guard down, they have a chance to solve the mystery and open the door to love.

  • Bucket List,  Shapeshifter

    Bucket List: Magnus from To Eternity @DaisyBanks16 #RLFblog #PNR

    To Eternity
    by Daisy Banks 
    Introducing Magnus Johansson from To Eternity. This is his
    bucket list.

    About the Book

    Title To Eternity, wild beneath the moon-Book 2 in the Timeless
    series.
    Genre Paranormal
    Author Daisy Banks
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    For four centuries Magnus has lived
    according to the dictates of the moon, his heart isolated by the domination of his
    wolf nature. Now fate has brought the beautiful, independent Sian to his house at
    Darnwell and their irresistible attraction has exploded into a white-hot passion.
    Yet she is not wolf, and the time has come for her to embrace the change. But once
    she completes the ritual and claims her place next to Magnus, the rivals will appear
    on the horizon…

    The Bucket List of Magnus Johansson

    This interview is designed for your hero to describe his/her bucket list for
    readers. Answer the questions as the character.

    Name: Magnus Johansson
    Age: Approximately four hundred and eighty five.
    Gender: Male
    Birthplace: Darnwell England
    Profession: He is of independent means and therefore has no professional
    title.
    Welcome to Romance Lives
    Forever. Your author introduced you. Now we’d like to get to know you better. Please
    tell us about yourself.
    Thank you for inviting me to take part in this interview. Man
    or myth, or something in between, that is how I have described myself in the past.
    My existence, I can’t call it life, was grim. Until I met Sian I had been solitary
    for many years. I preferred to be alone rather than risk forming relationships with
    others. I had some bitter experiences in my youth and the pain from them was compounded
    by living through the losses of the war years. I thought being alone was my only
    honorable option.
    I am sure you are aware I am afflicted with the werewolf curse.
    Please, don’t worry. I am quite safe at present. The full moon is past for this
    month. Even during the full moon I try to limit the number of times I hunt and am
    very selective of my hunting grounds. When I am not under the control of the moon
    I spend much time in organizing restoration work on my home. The orangery and the
    walled garden are current projects. Since I met Sian she has helped me with these
    tasks and so many other things. Sian has turned my world around, I wouldn’t be here
    speaking with you today if not for her influence. Sian shares my interest in antiques
    and architecture. She has an eye for beauty in its many forms.
    I do apologize, this is supposed to be about me, but I can’t
    help talking about Sian. Shall we continue with the interview?
    When someone dies, we say they “kicked the bucket.”
    Therefore, a list of things that a person wants to accomplish, places to go, situations
    to experience, and so on have become known as a “Bucket List.” We’d like
    to know yours, please. If you haven’t made one before, perhaps now would be a good
    time. Who knows? It might inspire another book. While you’re at it, how about telling
    us about some of your other favorite things? Here are the questions.
    What are two places you
    would like to visit before you die, and why?
    This is very interesting. As a werewolf, my death, barring unfortunate
    circumstances, is very unlikely, but I would like to answer the questions all the
    same. I would enjoy the chance to visit Egypt with Sian. She quite rightly pointed
    out that if I journey there I could relish the sense of a time well beyond my own
    existence. That would be a very enlightening experience.
    There is also a beach I once visited in the Caribbean and I would
    like to return there. The memory of the place features often in the dreams I share
    with Sian. I would like to take her there and show her the reality. Hopefully, in
    the intervening years since I first visited, the beach hasn’t changed too much.
    I once found peace there and in my younger days that was a very rare occurrence.
    Where is a place you would
    never like to return, and why?
    The place is London, but not as it is now. Sian has taken me
    to visit London several times and I have enjoyed each journey we have made. I would
    prefer not to return as I was in the eighteenth century. I behaved rather badly
    then and have no pride in my activities in that era of my life. Grief can have a
    very damaging effect in many different ways. I’m afraid it made a self-centered
    creature of me. I hunted with impunity and relished the chase in a way I am rather
    ashamed of now.
    Who is someone you would
    like to meet, and why?
    I would like to meet the founder of my family line and discover
    how the werewolf curse first took hold. I would ask them if they ever found a way
    to conquer the wretched affliction.
    Who is someone you would
    like to avoid, and why?
    At present the person I would wish to have no contact with is
    Mr. Franklyn Gorsewell. He is a despicable creature who has threatened and even
    physically harmed the woman I love. A reckoning between he and I must eventually
    come, and I believe it will be savage. Please don’t think I fear that, I don’t,
    but Sian will be distressed by such an event, after all he was once her employer
    and so called mentor. He abused that position of trust. He is utterly without merit.
    If you could time travel
    to any date, what would it be, and what would you do there?
    I have a rather strange and sometimes strained relationship with
    time. If I were able to travel in time I would wish to return to the day I met Sian.
    I would do things differently you see. I’m afraid to say I wasn’t very grateful
    at first that she made me live. I’d been alone for so long, I might as well have
    been dead. I fought against being dragged back to life in the fear of its hurts.
    I shouldn’t have done. I ought to have been gentler with her, accepted the wonderful
    love she offered me and thanked her for it. Yes, if I could travel in time I would
    return to experience those first days with her again. She is the most courageous
    woman I have ever met and I’d like to honor that rather than being as difficult
    as I was. Of course, Sian has forgiven me my foibles, but I would like to make her
    memories of our meeting sweeter.
    What is your birth order?
    I am an only child.
    Tell us about your favorite
    toy as a child.
    My childhood was rather isolated, understandable given my heritage.
    I had few toys but I did have several dogs as companions. It was then I discovered
    my body is not that of an ordinary person. The dogs aged and died, but I hardly
    changed. My parents always provided new ones, but I had to accept the loss of creatures
    I loved. Each lost hound proved bitter lesson for me. I also had several favorite
    ponies and horses as I matured. Their loss though painful didn’t sting quite so
    much as those of my dogs. They did not sleep on my bed, nor beg from my plate or
    offer such devoted companionship.
    I was very fond of a hunting hawk. I’d named her Starlight, for
    her gleaming under wing feathers, when she died I gave up hawking. Later, once I
    reached adolescence and I’d undergone the first year or two of moon induced transformations,
    my parents departed and I became master of my home. I amused myself as any young
    man of wealth might in the era.
    Describe your favorite
    food and how it’s prepared.
    The wolf inheritance influences many aspects of my life and as
    a man I eat a great deal of steak. My cook knows to serve it rare.
    Tell us about your best
    friend.
    Other than my few servants, my contact with people over the recent
    past has been very limited. In the war years when I was quite active there were
    young men who I called friends, however, they never truly knew me as I am. Sian
    is the one person who knows and accepts me. She offers me the gift of her love.
    She is everything.
    I must leave now as Sian is waiting. Thank you for your questions.
    I hope we meet again sometime in the future. Good day.
