    Is It True: The Lady and Her Quill by Ruth A. Casie @RuthACasie #RLFblog #HistoricalRomance

    Two authors take on a writing challenge based on a mystery taken out of the headlines. Ruth A Casie’s historical romance, The Lady and Her Quill. Her head kept telling her to stop loving him, but her heart couldn’t let him go.

    Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Let’s play Is It True with today’s guest, Ruth A.Casie. This is a game with yes and no questions. Writers can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.

    The Lady and Her Quill in the series The Ladies of Sommer-by-the-Sea

    Genre Historical Romance, Regency Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG

    Her mind kept telling her to stop loving him, but her heart couldn’t let him go.

    Renowned author Lady Alicia Hartley has lost her muse after a bad review. She blames it all on the author JC Melrose. A chance encounter with a handsome, witty Justin Caulfield has her heart racing, and her muse seemingly back. Is he her savior or her worst nightmare?

    He didn’t see the turbulent ocean. He was too busy dealing with a different tempest.

    The recently retired Captain Justin Caulfield is facing his own demons. As gifted author JC Melrose, his stories honor men who died at the hand of one man. His only focus is to avenge their deaths, that is, until he meets and falls in love with Lady Alicia.

    The two authors take on a writing challenge based on a story of stolen gold taken from the newspaper headlines all to determine the better writer. While researching the story, Lady Alicia is captured by the thieves’ ringleader. Can Lady Alicia turn this mystery into an award-winning story? Can Justin save his real-life heroine? Can they both overcome their own challenges for a happily ever after?

    Is it true:

    this is your first book?

    Each one I write seems like my first one.

    this book is part of a series?

    Lady Alicia has demanded that I write a story about each of the women who graduated from the Sommer-by-the-Sea Female Seminary. So far there is Lady Alicia, of course, and Lady Patrice, and Lady Kathryn. I hope the other aren’t shy.

    you lost sleep while writing this book?

    I did seem to be cursed with doubt and concern that cost me some sleep, but in the end it was just indigestion.

    you did research for this book?

    Hell, yes. (I bow my head in shame.)

    some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)

    I didn’t plan it that way, but the smuggler is way less then human!

    this book has more than one genre?

    The story is a historical romance that takes place in 1814, the regency era. With a kidnapping, grand theft, and treason at hand I would say this story is filled with mystery and suspense.

    you speak more than one language?

    Esyay!

    you grew up where you live now?

    No, I did not. I miss the long walks on the beach. The parachute jump and Steeplechase.

    you love to read?

    I cannot tell a lie. YES!!! I have so many books on my kindle that I spend a lot of time trying to pick what to read next.

    you are never late?

    Me, no. My husband, always.

    you love pizza?

    A thick crust, lots of cheese, and sometimes mushrooms. I won’t give it up. When I’m being more weight conscious, I use a portobello mushroom in place of the dough. It’s a close send.

    you love sushi?

    Hai… Please be impressed. That’s all the Japanese I know other than sushi and sashimi.

    you have a pet?

    Only a few pet peeves!

    Hi – I’m Ruth A Casie and I write historical and contemporary romance. You might be wondering what I’m about. Sit back and let me tell you.
    I’m happiest when I’m telling stories either chatting in a group or writing them down. I love to put my hero and heroine in tough situations and dare them to work it out—together, always together. They haven’t disappointed. Oh, they complain but in the end their love and relationships are stronger than ever.
    Here are five things you probably don’t know about me.
    1. I filled my passport up in one year.
    2. I have three series. The Druid Knight stories are a historical time travel series. The Stelton Legacy is historical fantasy about the seven sons of a seventh son. Havenport Romances are stories set in a small coast Rhode Island town. I also write stories in the connected world the Pirates of Britannia.
    3. I did a rap to “How Many Trucks Can a Tow Truck Tow If a Tow Truck Could Tow Trucks.”
    4. When I cook I dance.
    5. My Sudoku book is in the bathroom. I’m not saying anything else about that.
    My stories feature strong women and the men who deserve them, endearing flaws and all. Their stories will keep you turning the pages until the end. I hope my stories become your favorite adventures.
