Livia Quinn, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Before we talk about your office, please tell us about your latest book.
When the Right One Comes Along by Livia Quinn
Genre Small town military romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
Love happens when you least expect it, even when it’s the last thing you’re looking for.
Former Army Ranger, Ridge Romano lost his brother John to the war, but not on the battlefield. After returning home with PTSD and, like so many soldiers, experiencing the loss of his identity and purpose, he committed suicide leaving behind a grieving wife and child. Early on, Ridge was recruited by the Army for his work in bionics eventually putting them on the forefront of drone technology. Now, the CEO of MedBionics, Ridge is on a mission to ensure John’s death was not in vain. He’s in DC meeting with Congress about an revolutionary veterans’ project. With a “yes” vote on the big bill, his Consortium, MiliCare, will take over the care of his fellow soldiers and their families. But an impulsive act of folly and one night with one very special woman – complete with photographs – put the contract and his dreams in danger.
At the DC convention, photographer and former fashion model, Buffy Calloway finds the “Face” of her new franchise, the Calloway Studio and Casting agency, which will provide models, marketing and photography to designers and movie studios. The tall, dark and intense man she finds is everything she’s been looking for. He’s “the one” but after discovering his noble goals, there seems to be no path to a meeting of the minds (or their hearts).
Can two very different people whose goals are at odds find a way to have it all?
How long have you been writing?
I’ve had a pen in my hand since I was a kid waiting for a story to put on paper but didn’t start writing fiction toward publication until the summer of Katrina, the hurricane that nit the gulf coast in 2005.
What was your first published book?
Fire in my Blood in 2012 which has since been revised and renamed Undone.
Tell us about your writing space or home office.
A new neighbor moved in and offered me the portable building that was used as a “camp”. It sits by the bayou on the hill, decorated with my favorite things, my story boards, sculptures a friend made me. It’s not fancy but quiet and quaint and the scenery is soothing. I love it. This is my desk I recently fancied up to sooth my psyche a bit.
If money was no object, what would your home office look like?
Something like one of the gorgeous libraries with walls of books and intricately painted ceilings I saw in England last year that made me want to sit in them and write.
What office equipment do you use most, other than your computer?
My notebook and an Inkjoy pen, my Olympus recorder and Dragon Dictate. I handwrite the new scenes in the tub, record them onto the recorder, transcribe and copy into Scrivener. (That’s the VERY rough draft.)
What’s the last book about writing that you read?
Novel Shortcuts by Laura Whitcomb. It’s excellent, especially about writing back cover copy as a short synopsis when beginning a new book.
Do you have an author newsletter?
Yes. I’d love to hear from readers at either my email below or you can sign up for my occasional newsletter for new release alerts.Where to buy When the Right One Comes Along

Livia Quinn, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.
When the Right One Comes Along by Livia Quinn
Genre Small-town Contemporary Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
Love happens when you least expect it. . .even when you resist.
Jed Summers has had a change of heart.
When he and Samantha Larue started dating he’d known she was pregnant and still he found her wildly attractive. But when their relationship turned more serious, Jed ended it, telling her he’d sworn off marriage and kids years ago after an abusive childhood. After following her around for six months, as if he still cared, he delivered Sam’s baby and now, every time he sees her and little Nina, he wonders if he made the biggest mistake of his life.
New developments from Jed’s past turn his long held ideas upside down then Sam is threatened and her secret is exposed, leaving her feeling vulnerable. Can he convince her to give him a second chance?
Why did you write this book?
It Had to Be You is the sixth book in the series. Jed is the partner of Officer Del Burke the heroine in book 2 and there was a brief relationship between Jed and Sam in Christmas Wishes (no spoilers). Finally Jed and Samantha get their turn but nothing’s ever easy it seems.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Oh gosh, I love so many. I read historical romance when I just want to relax because I do NOT write that genre. Wouldn’t dream of trying, lol. And depending on what I’m in the mood for, I might pick up a romantic suspense, a romantic comedy or a paranormal romance.If I get stuck on a great series, I’ll pretty much binge on them.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
One of my all-time favorites is Matthew Claremont from Discovery of Witches and the All Souls Trilogy. Vampire, scientist, lover, spy. . . and more. I get hot and bothered just thinking about him. He’s like the Roarke of the paranormal world (my other fav).
What are you working on at the moment?
Actually, I was going down the road a couple weeks ago and a new series came to me and I’ve written about a third of the first book.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
I just finished the final edits on Christmas Vows which comes out 12/3 and now trying to finish book 8 which comes out in February, I Will Find you, then it’s on to book 7 in my paranormal series.Where to buy When the Right One Comes Along

When the Right One Comes Along by Livia Quinn @liviaquinn #RLFblog #romance
Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.
When the Right One Comes Along
Genre Contemporary Small-town Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
Love happens when you least expect it even for these two professionals, one who doesn’t have time for love and the other who has the benefit of an inherited prognosticator known as the Calloway Curl.
Buffy Calloway is finally coming home.
Former international model and photographer Lana Calloway is attending the DC romance convention to find the perfect model, the “one” whose face and body could make her new business venture a success. At a conference event she finds him – an unwilling and unlikely candidate. Turns out his appearance was a fluke, but the Calloways have a history of getting their man, or woman, and she doesn’t intend to be the last.
Her prospect is a CEO meeting with Congress about veterans issues; in other words, he’s got higher priorities than being a cover model. It will take creative measures to convince him that her goals could benefit his mission of making life better for wounded veterans, and oh, by the way, that they are meant to be together.
Preorder this book and Too Good to Be True, Only the Heart Remembers and Christmas Wishes now for $0.99 until release day. (7 books in the series)Where to buy When the Right One Comes Along
