<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Months after saving Jamie and Deanna from
crywolf, Kiara and her brother Cole have moved into the city. While clubbing
one night, Kiara is stunned to see her ex, Taryn, onstage. But before she can
react, Jamie notices a distinctive tattoo in the crowd: an axe rumored to be
the mark of the Huntsmen, a group of werewolf-tracking humans. The girls need
to leave immediately—and since Taryn is also a werewolf, they need to take her
with them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">The Huntsmen are more than a myth, and
they’re scouring the city for lone wolves just like Taryn. Until the General
North American Assembly of Werewolves lends a plan of action, Kiara’s small
pack is on lockdown in a friend’s apartment, where she and Taryn must face the
differences that drove them apart. Furthermore, the longer the group waits, the
more it seems the Huntsmen haven’t been acting entirely on their own.</span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13pt; text-indent: 0.3in;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“You can’t come back here.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Confronted by an upheld palm, Kiara halted
at the stairs that led backstage. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“This area is for performers only.” The
Latina woman’s face was set in bored lines; her yellow shirt identified her as
one of the club’s staff. Clearly it was not the first time she’d turned someone
away that night. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Look, I’m meeting—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Hun, I don’t care if you’re meeting Evan
Rachel Wood herself. Performer’s only.” The woman enunciated the last part
without managing to pull her attention from the room behind Kiara.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">The prickling behind Kiara’s eyes mounted
and was echoed in the flesh of her gums. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Maria, hey.” Ryn pushed back the black
curtain. “Come on, let her through.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Tar—” Reluctance was heavy in the woman’s
voice. “You know I’m not supposed to.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I won’t tell if you won’t, ‘kay? This is my
girlfriend. We won’t cause any trouble. Promise.” Ryn held out her hand past
Maria. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Kiara placed her hand in Ryn’s and plastered
a smile across her face. “I’ll be good.” She added a flutter of her eyelashes
and coaxed a blush to her cheeks. Ryn’s skin was hot under her palm. Touching
Ryn had always felt like touching the sun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“You’d better be,” Maria warned as she
stepped aside and let Kiara through. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Thank you.” Ryn winked at Maria, and Kiara
heard the woman’s heartbeat accelerate in response. With a valiant effort,
Kiara swallowed her huff of annoyance. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">The back of the stage was dimly lit. Ryn
kept Kiara’s hand in hers as she led the way, deftly avoiding the few other
performers who loitered about, waiting for their turns on stage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“We have to go,” Kiara repeated. She spoke
more loudly now that they were away from everyone else. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I heard you the first time.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Then what are we doing?” Kiara’s fingers
curled perfectly around Ryn’s. She wanted to yank her hand free. She wanted to
kiss the spot where they fit so well together. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I have to get my bag.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Ten years. Surely ten years was long enough
for feelings to fade, for the memory of what they had been to dull. She
shouldn’t feel the bright hurt, the greedy hunger, as though it had been
yesterday. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">In the back of her head a siren screamed, a
warning that she didn’t have time for this. Kiara’s grip on Ryn’s hand
tightened involuntarily. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Leave it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I’m not leaving it. There’s five thousand
dollars’ worth of equipment in there.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Ryn, you heard me. The Huntsmen are here.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Maybe.” They reached a set of lockers, and
Ryn wriggled her fingers free of Kiara’s. “Aren’t you the one who told me
they’re a myth? Do you really think they’d show up in Vancouver? At a drag king
show?” But even as she spoke she opened the locker door and pulled free a large
duffle bag. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Werewolves are supposed to be myths, too.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“And yet,” Ryn conceded. She slung the bag over her shoulder.
“My bike is out front.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I'm happy to be here! I’m an author, wife
and mother living in Central Ohio. I’ve been writing—from lavish journal
entries to fictional stories—most of my life. My novels, Chef's Table and Black
Dust were published with Interlude Press in 2014 and 2016. Beneath the Stars is
about man at a major turning point in his career who gets called home to help
take care of his elderly father. While there he meets someone, and together,
they learn how to define happiness, home and family. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #33abcf; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Give us an
interesting fun fact or a few about your book or series:<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">At this story’s inception, I was working
through the loss of my closest friend due to complications from diabetes. Death
is a prominent theme in this book (and I’ve noticed, it at least makes an
appearance in just about every long-form story I’ve written), but done in a way
that emphasizes life after death. Not the supernatural idea of it, but the
concrete, real living and breathing we can do and must do after someone we’ve
cared deeply about passes. It was cathartic and healing for me, and my hope is
that it can be for the readers as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #33abcf; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">How did you come up
with the title of your book or series?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Titles can be the easiest part of writing a
book or the hardest, and this one fought me every step of the way. I knew it
needed to deal with stars, as that’s where the families in the story anchor
themselves, but the topic itself is so vast and broad, I drew a blank time and
again. I chatted with a friend about the struggle; we bandied a few ideas
around, and out of the blue she took a simple synonym of one of my
less-than-stellar options and in a blink, I had a title. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #33abcf; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Give us an insight
into your main character. What does he/she do that is so special?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">When we meet Sid Marneaux, he is a man who
has his life in place. His company, based in Chicago, is on its feet. He’s
staring at his new studio space and raring to plunge forward in a business he’d
been growing since high school. He also, we soon find, is a man who is tied to
his father: loyal, devoted, and indebted to the life Lou allowed and encouraged
him to live. So, the call from his sister that pulls him back home is the
beginning of a steady stream of reevaluation about family, happiness and love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #33abcf; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">What do you think
makes a good story?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Interesting characters first and foremost. I
used to say that if you gave me interesting characters and a story that goes
nowhere, I’d be happy. I’ve recently read a string of books that challenges
that. Something has to happen that tests the characters and who they thought
they were at the beginning of the story. Take me on a journey with someone
interesting and multi-faceted and I’m there. Oh, and pepper it with amazing
dialogue, please. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #33abcf; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">What does your
family think of your writing?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I’m very fortunate to have a supporting
family, not only with those that live in my house, but also my parents and
friends. They are patient when I’m drowning in deadlines and stubborn
storylines and they are the first to celebrate—and to remind me to
celebrate—when those many hours are rewarded in any way. I can’t imagine doing
this without them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Sid Marneaux puts his fashion career on the
line when he returns home to care for his ailing father. When he meets the new
fire chief Eddie Garner, their romance sparks hot, but Eddie harbors burdens of
his own. Through the wisdom of a child and the connection of mothers-now-gone,
the men redefine family, career, and most importantly, love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

used for old neighbors and family acquaintances. “He’s doing okay. Day to day,
you know,” but when he stopped fidgeting with his food and looked into Eddie’s
eyes, his breath caught in his throat. Eddie wasn’t making small talk, wasn’t
being generically kind. He was tuned in, with an understanding and patience at
peeling away the complicated layers of caring for an elderly parent that went
beyond what Sid had felt from anyone—even his closest friends. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">And so, with Eddie’s unrushed attention, Sid
began to unpack the emotions and frustrations he hadn’t yet allowed himself to
express. He talked about Anna’s overbearing control and her lack of
understanding as to why that would make Lou lash out and became belligerent. He
talked about Anna’s calendars and charts and the daily schedule she kept Lou
on. About her refusal to let their dad do much of anything. “It’s like she’s
already put him in the ground,” he finally said, feeling almost winded after
exposing so much of himself, of his family.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“It’s hard on the caretakers,” Eddie said.
“It completely takes over your life.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“It’s hard on the patient too. Dad lived,
you know? Just last year, he rode his bike five miles to the park and back
almost every day. This is the man who threw on a backpack with a bunch of college
buddies and hiked the fucking Hippie Trail. He didn’t stop until he found what
he was looking for. He doesn’t stop. And now he has no choice.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“What was he looking for?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Sid grinned with memories of his mom and dad
and their great love. “He didn’t know until he saw her.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Eddie met his smile, and a blush crept up
his neck. “Sometimes we don’t know what we’re looking for until it’s sitting
across the table from us.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“No,” Sid said, unable to pull his gaze away
from Eddie. “We don’t.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #5a8f28; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Welcome Pene.</span></i></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #e36c0a; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Hello, I’m Pene. I’m Australian, extroverted
and hard to ruffle. Also I’m pretty tall, mostly lacking in sporting prowess,
and way less funny than I’d like to be. I live with my wife and our two
divinely awesome kids in Sydney, along with a ferociously loving cat. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I grew up dreaming of being an astronaut or
an experimental physicist. I love sciences and mechanics but I’d do a dreadful
job of either of those things so fortunately surprised myself by developing a
career in law and writing. I’ve always written poetry and short fiction. I
never really dreamed of a novel until I was writing one. It was delightful to
build a whole world, the first in Hawaii and on the ocean, and fall in love
with my own characters. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Storm Season is my second novel. It’s set on
the Australian East Coast, in land and in cities that I know well. Like my
previous novel, it’s essentially a happy queer story. It’s a romance between a
bubbly and adorable fashion blogger and a capable park ranger living alone in a
remote cabin. As you’d imagine, these women have vastly different experiences.
They think they have vastly different priorities. Trapped together by a storm,
however, they uncover not just a deep attraction to one another but also all
the ways they fit together. And then, of course, the storm breaks and they have
to work out what will happen when they return to their ordinary lives. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #5a8f28; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">What kind of book
would you like to write that people would see as a huge departure for you?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I grew up loving fantasy stories and
apocalypse stories. Something where there’s a real battle going on, whether
magic or the end of the world, and you see the heart of people through their
response. I love stories where people save the world and save one another and
have hard decisions and hidden powers. I would be surprised to find myself
writing that kind of universe, and my readers would be surprised too. They’ve
read my angst free contemporary romance where the only things that happen are
ordinary things and no one gets to say, “I can’t live if we’re on different
sides” or “my magic isn’t strong enough” or “please come back”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #5a8f28; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Have you ever killed
a character? Was it traumatic for you? If you haven’t killed one, would you
ever consider it?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I have not. I would consider anything that
was right for the story. But I love to write romance and I would be certain to
make sure that in writing a romance with a death I was not being heartless
about the death. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #5a8f28; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Favorite location
you’ve ever written about?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">All my books are location books so I seem to
end up in a lot of gorgeous places. Hawaii, Australia, South Africa. I think my
favourite setting was when Ollie and Tai went to Teahupoo in my first novel,
Into the Blue. Teahupoo is an extraordinary wave in Tahiti, so full of water
and heavy that it looks like the whole ocean is being lifted away from the sea
bed. It was only in the 80s that anyone realized they could actually ride it.
It’s beautiful to describe but more importantly, the place changed the
characters. The boys had so much fear and so much space there as they took a
boat out to that huge wave, and came back to the quiet tropical shore and
private cabin. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #5a8f28; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">What’s your favorite

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I love Summer. The long days and bright
skies, the warm air that keeps me company in early mornings and late nights. I
could swim all day, in the ocean or the pool. And then come home to watch
Australia’s summer sports. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">The great outdoors isn’t so great for Sydney
It-Girl Lien Hong. It’s too dark, too quiet, and there are spiders in the
toilet of the cabin she is sharing with friends on the way to a New South Wales
music festival. To make matters worse, she’s been separated from her companions
and taken a bad fall. With a storm approaching, her rescue comes in the form of
a striking wilderness ranger named Claudia Sokolov, whose isolated cabin,
soulful voice and collection of guitars bely a complicated history. While they
wait out the weather, the women find an undeniable connection—one that puts
them both on new trajectories that last long after the storm has cleared.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Come out here,” calls Claudie from the
deck. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Claudie’s leaning on the railing looking
over the vast expanse of nothing. “Come and stand at the edge here,” she says.
“It’s like the edge of the universe.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">It’s dark; there’s nothing out there. The
world smells rich and wet. Lien holds herself still and looks out with the
cabin lights behind her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Wait a sec,” says Claudie.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">She steps back toward the house and reaches
inside the cabin door. Everything goes dark.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Hey—” Lien can’t see a thing. They haven’t
had lights in days, and now Claudie’s turning them off. The blackness seems
complete.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“You’re okay,” says Claudie. “It’ll take a
moment for your eyes to adjust. I figured—It’s been raining so much. You
haven’t had a clear night up here. I wanted to show you.” She moves beside Lien
against the railing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">And as Lien’s eyes accustom themselves to
the dark, the sky opens up above them. The Milky Way sweeps a path of light
across the great black bowl. Around that the night extends from one clear
horizon to the other, lit by a thousand layers of stars on stars, dazzling
bright in the dark. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">The universe goes on forever. It’s huge, and
Lien’s tiny and breathless in front of it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">In that moment nothing is worth thinking
about beyond that sky, nothing but the huge universe and Claudie’s hand, steady
and close beside Lien’s on the railing, Claudie’s warm body so near. Lien
twines her pinkie around Claudie’s. They stand under the stars, still and
silent. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">When Lien turns, Claudie’s cheekbones are
traced in blue-white and her eyes reflect a thousand pinprick lights. She’s
beautiful. She’s from a whole other world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Brazil & Havan Fellows</i>, but it sounds weird for me (um…Havan Fellows)
to say my name in 3<sup>rd</sup> person and whatnot. Havan doesn't work that

supposed to type up and schedule this blog post yesterday but once again life
got in the way, so I'm sitting at 5a doing this before my first cup of coffee
(you see how dedicated I am?). Point being, I am not responsible for any
confused, pointless rambling that goes on. Oh, unless this post turns out
utterly brilliant, than yes…it was all on purpose!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #632423; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 13pt;">Thirteen years later, Rosy owns the
local pub on Maple Street and makes a good show of how he's recovered from
tragedy. He even convinces himself…until he meets the new man in town and
realizes just how okay he isn't. With the demons of his fatal past still
stalking him, Rosy has no idea how to switch from simply existing to actually
living.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

smooth, sexy voice and notorious for his hard partying ways—sped through most
of his adult life on stage and in the recording studio. Sober and retired to
the quaint New England town of Parkerburg, Jet’s ready to slow his soundtrack…until
his compelling neighbor—a grumbling, muscular mountain of a man with an odd
name—ups the tempo. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Rosy an easy object of focus, a solid center around which Jet hopes to build a
future. But retirement isn’t easy. The entertainment industry doesn’t stop
knocking just because you hang a do not disturb sign. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Rosy’s and Jet’s pasts try to harmonize with their present, they might have to
decide whether the chorus is worth repeating.</span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 13pt; font-weight: bold;"> </span><!--EndFragment--></div>

right! I can't tell you how much I loved writing about Rosy and Jet, they were
so much fun—when they weren't driving me completely nuts lol.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

released? Well, Lee and I realize this one does occur during the 4<sup>th</sup>
of July. If you're new to this series it seems that all the books basically
happen during a holiday, not that the holiday is the center of the book
always…but it's a thing that seems to keep happening and so far works. One day
there may not be a holiday in the book, but until then… BUT, we aren't waiting
until July to release this. Nope, nope, nope. We're looking early April, and
the pre-order links should be up real soon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of after the first 4 words. Well damn, that seems awfully succinct for me. How
out of character is that??? Good thing I rambled on and on afterwards or you
might think I'm sick or something. Anyway, that cover way up there… The
beautiful one that ties into the series perfectly… It was designed by the
brilliant Author Services, and I love it and I love them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

honest I will! Thanks for hanging in there with me. The year 2016 kicked my ass
from January all the way through to December. I'm hoping 2017 doesn't see my
derriere's appeal and leaves me the hell alone, or buys me flowers and a nice
dinner first at least.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Hi, I’m Kera Faire,
Raven McAllan’s alter ego. Or if you want, her dark side. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Nudges Havan who
is giggling</span></b><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Yeah, she evidently
does have a dark side. Not content with writing all romance from sweet to
smoking hot, she discovered an urge to go dark, and elected me to do it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Originally, I don’t
think we thought there would be a lot of Kera books. The first one, a Regency
story called Vampire’s Breakfast, was originally published by the now sadly
defunct Breathless Press in a shortened form, for an anthology.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">When the rights
reverted the story went onto the simmer pile, until the light bulb moment hit.
It would be lengthened and their mind and motives accessed a bit more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Okay not just their minds and motives. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">I was smitten. But what else could Kera write?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">For a while I had no idea. I knew I’d enjoyed writing something a bit
different, but my muse insisted it wasn’t the time for anything else.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Then one of my publishers put out an anthology call for dark romance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Ms. Muse, decided now was the time to move and dig me in the ribs, yeah,
just like Havan has done now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Typically though, Muse didn’t let me write in the way the antho needed,
or indeed stick to the length required.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">The Dark Isle was
born.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Well maybe not born,
after all do we know how long The Dispatchers have been around?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Let’s say Dark Isle
was made available for me to write about. After all, an island on Loch Lomond
in Scotland, where the government extracts information from traitors, and then,
ahem dispatches them, via an unusual method, (think pigs) has to be somewhat
dark and secretive. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Even so, I grabbed
the opportunity with both hands, let Ms. Muse, have her way, and wrote the
first book, The Dispatcher.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">She understands
things I get very passionate about. Like Scotch Whisky has no E. Whiskey no E
is very dear to me. No, I don’t drink it but boy do I get mad when someone puts
an E in there. E is for Bourbon and Irish not scotch. Okay rant over, I’ll move
on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">The Jeweler, and
The End Game followed and I thought, well that’s it. The series is finished.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Wrong. Luckily, boy
was I wrong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Just in time for
Christmas Rio discovers Andie is working as a hooker in Amsterdam. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Hey, y’all! I’m Killian Brewer, though most
people just call me Brew. I’m a Southern boy, raised in the land of peaches and
peanuts. I grew up in a tiny little town in a house where we would entertain
each other by telling stories. My father can spin a yarn with the best of them
and taught me early to enjoy the fellowship of storytelling. I went to college
and earned my degree in English Literature, mostly because of my love of a good
story. Of course, like most English majors, I don’t use that degree at all in
my day job, but it does come in handy for my writing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">My current novel, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lunch with the Do-Nothings at the Tammy Dinette</i>, was inspired by
the people I grew up around in South Georgia. I wanted to explore what life
could be like for a young gay man who is suddenly transplanted in a small town
with little understanding of the way of life there. In particular, I wanted to
follow his search for love and a sense of family in a world where he feels like
a fish out of water. I also wanted to write about older southern women, because
I think they are awesome.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #8c6311; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Tell
us something no one else knows about your characters.<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I don’t usually like to give examples of
celebrities or inspirations for a character’s physical traits. I prefer to let
the reader come up with their own mental picture of the character. I think this
is especially important in romance, where the character needs to be seen as
desirable. Since what I find sexy may be different from the readers, I like to
leave it open for interpretation. However, the characters of Marcus Sumter and
Hank Hudson both have a real life person that I loosely based their looks on.
The irony is that the two characters are very Southern, American guys who
aren’t particularly into sports but their looks are based on British athletes.
In my mind Marcus looks something like Greg Rutherford and Hank looks like
Steve Lewis, both British Olympic pole vaulters. I guess I am an anglophile!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #8c6311; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Have
you ever had writer’s block? How did you overcome it?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I think all writers have a block at some
point, even if it is as minor as just being stuck on a scene or a piece of
dialogue. When I get stuck, I find the best thing to do is to step away from
writing for a bit and find something mindless to do. My usual task is housework
of some kind or I go to the grocery store. I can dust or vacuum and let the
troublesome spot roll around in my brain while I do my chores. Sometimes I will
just walk the dog because it allows me time alone with my thoughts without the
cursor blinking at me. I often find that when I stop focusing so intently on
the problem that the answer will reveal itself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

book you’ve written would you like to see made into a movie?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I think both of my books would be fun
movies. My first novel, The Rules of Ever After, is a twisted fairy tale and I
think it would work best as an animated movie. I think Lunch with the
Do-Nothing at the Tammy Dinette would work well as a film as well. I think some
older actresses could have a ball playing the members of the titular Do-Nothing
Club. Also, since so much of the book takes place in just a few places (the
diner, an auto repair shop, and old barn) locations would be easy to find!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I am a planner in just about every aspect of
my life and this carries over to my writing as well. I tend to plan out the
overall arc of the story and then break it down into what needs to happen in
each chapter and scene. I am not so strict that I don’t allow myself deviations
from the plan if a new idea presents itself, but I fear that if I tried to just
“go with the flow” the story would wander all over the place and I would get
lost in tangents. I also like to make copious notes about characters so that I
can refer back to it to make sure I didn’t magically change an eye-color
halfway through the book!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">The diner took up a quarter of the city
block; its silvery siding glimmered in the morning sun. A metal bracket jutted
over the diner door and held a bright neon sign that flashed The Tammy Dinette:
Stand By your Ham and Eggs. Below the sign, two tall and wide single-paned
windows showed the bustle of the crowd inside. Marcus could see that most of
the booths along the windows were occupied, and a tall redheaded waitress stood
next to one of the booths furiously scribbling on a pad and nodding her head.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Let’s go,” Skeet said as he hopped to the
door and yanked it open. He swept his arm across his body and said in a
terrible British accent, “After you, my good sir.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Marcus grinned at the boy and stepped into
the diner. The sudden rush of country music mixed with the murmur of the
restaurant crowd, the smell of greasy food and coffee, and the glare of
fluorescent lights from the Formica tables and counter tops flooded Marcus with
a sense of relief and comfort. The last bits of tension slipped from his
shoulders as he watched the two waitresses in pink uniform tops and skirts
scurry from table to table as different patrons raised their hands to get each
woman’s attention.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I’m thrilled to be here!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I have been writing since I was a kid, and
it was always my dream to be a professional writer when I grew up. After
deferring that particular dream for many years, I finally decided it was time
to pursue it, and in 2015 Interlude Press published my first novel, The Heart
of All Worlds, Book 1: The Sidhe. The King and the Criminal is the second
book in the series. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">The
King and the Criminal is a high fantasy novel, and a love story at its</span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;"> heart. It follows
Firae, an elfin king, and his uneasy alliance with Tash, a criminal he was
supposed to bring to justice, but instead begins to develop feelings for
despite his better judgment. Their relationship unfolds against a backdrop of a
world in turmoil, as they attempt to help the rightful queen of the human realm
to keep and defend her throne.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #984806; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">How difficult was it to get into the
main character’s head?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Not all that hard, actually. Tash and Firae
are the main characters in The King and the Criminal, but they made their
first appearances in The Sidhe, in which they were somewhat minor characters. I
was immediately drawn to them as characters, and began contemplating their
backstories and futures before I had even finished writing The Sidhe. I was
very excited to get into their heads for the second book in the trilogy, as I
had been contemplating their inner worlds for quite a while by the time I
started writing it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #984806; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Is this book a standalone or do you
plan on visiting it again?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">There will be one more book in The Heart of
All Worlds trilogy, which will come out in 2017. After that, I am planning a
second trilogy set in the same world and with some of the same characters, but
with an entirely different story arc and focusing mostly on the Keshells. I
anticipate spending quite a lot of time telling stories set on the planet of
Ullavise.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #984806; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Why did you choose to write M/M
stories?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">It’s less about writing M/M stories per se,
and more about writing LGBTQ stories. The main pairings in The Heart of All
Worlds are M/M, because that is who the characters are and how they fit
together. That said, I think I also like writing M/M because it’s sexy, and
because there is just something fundamentally beautiful to me about same-sex
romantic love (which is also why I like writing F/F stories). It’s also very
satisfying to write about same-sex partnerships in a high fantasy setting in
which the characters’ sexuality isn’t the source of their problems.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #984806; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Where do you find your inspiration?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I find inspiration everywhere! I find a lot
of inspiration in nature; most of The Sidhe and The King and the Criminal take
place outdoors, so I tend to take a lot of walks in the woods for inspiration
while I’m working on a book. I also love fairytales and myths, and I really
enjoy writing original material that is inspired by pre-existing mythology. And
I suppose I could also say that I’m inspired by what isn’t in so many of the
high fantasy books I have read in my life: openly and unflinchingly queer
characters, unapologetically shrewd and powerful women, and a world populated
by people of color. To quote Mary Robinette Kowal, “it is not about adding
diversity for the sake of diversity, it’s about subtracting homogeneity for the
sake of realism.” That truth inspires me to build worlds that are broad, rather
than narrow, when it comes to representation. Fantasy is a wildly creative
genre, and it should never be about maintaining a status quo.</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #e36c0a; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

and he becomes trapped in Villalu, he is faced with a choice between allegiance
to the Council or allegiance to Brissa, the fierce young human queen who is
determined to bring justice to Villalu. Firae discovers he must rely on the
very criminal he was seeking to help him get home alive—a man he exiled long
ago, but who awakens something in his heart more potent than his sworn duties
as king.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Firae. Please.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Firae looked ahead and refused to react to
Tash or to the people gathered along the side of the road, who murmured and
pointed to the two sidhe in the middle of the royal procession. Though Tash
assumed the man had never ridden a horse, he managed to look graceful and regal
as he rode with his back straight as a fencepost and his hands resting lightly
on his thighs. When a groom had brought him the chestnut stallion, Firae had
stroked the animal’s muzzle and whispered to him in the old language of land
beasts, and then insisted that the horse’s bridle and saddle be removed before
he would climb on his back. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“His name is Acorn,” the groom had said
nervously, twisting his hands, and Firae had looked at Tash, silently demanding
a translation, which Tash had given him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Firae had scoffed. “I certainly doubt that.
How could that child possibly know this creature’s name? I can’t imagine they
share a language.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Those had been the last words Firae had
spoken to him since they left Pemerec.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Once Tash had revealed himself, Firae had
gone cold, demanding to know who Tash worked for and then demanding an audience
with Brissa and refusing to answer any additional questions. When Tash had
tried to explain, Firae had simply walked away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Please,” Tash repeated. “I know you’re
upset with me, but if you’d allow me to explain, I believe you may be
sympathetic to our cause. You see—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I will allow the human queen to explain,”
Firae said abruptly, his eyes remaining fixed on the front of the procession.
“And you may consider yourself under arrest without liberty to speak.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I—with all due respect, you have no
jurisdiction over me, Firae.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I beg to differ.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“It doesn’t matter if you b—” Firae finally
turned his head and looked Tash square in the eye. Tash closed his mouth.
Perhaps he should hold his tongue and wait for Firae to speak to the queen. In fact,
Tash couldn’t imagine what he could say. It was best if he remained silent
until—<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“How dare you!” Tash spat, pushing out the
words with all the force he could muster. “You must have known that wouldn’t
work, I’m not human.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Firae turned his attention to the road
ahead. “It was worth a try,” he said with a small shrug.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“If you try to compel the queen, I swear to
you, you will not make it back to Laesi alive,” Tash snapped as his heart
thrummed from the effort of pushing the intrusion from his mind. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Your queen shall come to no harm,” Firae
told him, “but I cannot make the same promise to you. So unless you would like
to incriminate yourself further, I suggest holding your tongue until I have
spoken to this queen.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">My parents met in Detroit in 1971 – my
mother was raised in the nearby neighborhood of Redford and her father was a
Detroit cop. My father came to Detroit to go to the University of Detroit (now
the University of Detroit Mercy) when he was 16, and a few years later met her.
Although they lived – and raised us – overseas until 1994, I grew up with their
stories, and my grandmother’s stories, of Detroit. I was 12 when we came to the
States, and from the beginning I was drawn by Detroit’s history, by her face,
and over the years, by the positive and negative changes she went through.
National media has seen some really negative stories about the city – and I
can’t deny there are difficulties the city faces. But if you check foodie
magazines, travel articles about hidden gems – if you go downtown – you’ll see
another side to the city: what’s been called her “Renaissance”. But Detroit is
much more than just these two extremes. It can be really easy to slip into
wrong and right rhetorics, into us vs. them, into literal and figurative black and
white conversations. But the threads tying up and tying together this city are
complicated. As complicated as love, as healing, as recovery, as self discovery
and growth, as being human. I really wanted to write a story about the city,
and I really wanted a love story that mirrored and was mirrored by similar
themes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #972336; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">What
skills do you think a writer needs?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Well a love for writing is important. I
think anyone can learn to be a writer if they have the desire. Not everyone
will write the same – style, tone, cadence, story, genre – but if we all did,
dang the world would be boring! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I think that the most important aspect of
writing is the desire to work hard. Not only does it take time, but heart. And
determination! I’ve come close to giving up when writing more than once. Seeing
an idea from a what if to a full blown novel takes some grit. Being able to
accept criticism AND praise – both of which I am not great at – are skills.
Because you learn from both. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">

for you is the perfect book hero?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Well I do love complex humans in books. A
one dimensional character doesn’t draw me in as much, and if I’m not drawn in,
then I don’t really get invested in the forward movement of their story. My
perfect book hero has been subjected to a lot of character work ;) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Otherwise, they’re sweet but sensual. Smart
in unexpected ways. Utterly human in that they make big mistakes but also, even
if it takes a bit, are willing to grow or learn. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #972336; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Is
there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Every book presents a new challenge, and for
this one, the research was an issue. Not doing it, because I liked that part.
But finding ways to balance so much history and research with a fictional love
story was a hard balance to strike. For Idlewild I spent a lot of time in my
own head, anxious about doing it wrong because this book has some really
complicated themes and background work. I am also working on my Masters in
rhetoric and writing and I study cultural rhetorics; as I wrote this I was
balancing a lot of intense learning I was doing about particular cultural
rhetorics with the actual topic of the book. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Gosh. I always say that These Happy Golden
Years by Laura Ingalls Wilder (Little House on the Prairie series) is. It still
is. Almanzo Wilder….oh be still my tender heart! The truth is that once I
learned to read (I was late to the party), I became the voracious reader I am
today. The other day I was going through boxes of books – we just moved this
summer – and I came across all of these books I used to love that I’ve kept for
close to 30 years; books that came with us when we moved from Brazil to the
States. One in particular – The Little Gymnast -- gosh I was obsessed with it.
It actually fell apart from so much reading. I really liked gymnastics and
apparently, I have been obsessed with underdog stories since birth. </span><span style="color: #16191f; font-family: "helvetica"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

their downtown gastro pub in the midst of Detroit’s revival. Now, five years
after John’s sudden death, Asher is determined to pull off a revival of his
own. In a last ditch attempt to bring Idlewild back to life, he fires everyone
and hires a new staff. Among them is Tyler Heyward, a recent college graduate
in need of funds to pay for med school. Tyler is a cheery balm on Asher’s soul,
and their relationship quickly shifts from business to friendship. When they
fall for each other, it is not the differences of race or class that challenge
their love, but the ghosts and expectations of their respective pasts. Will
they remain stuck, or move toward a life neither of them has allowed himself to
dream about?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Today when Asher greets him, he seems more
present. Tyler knew this place was in dire straits, but if he needed
confirmation, the harried expression on Asher’s face when they first<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>met was it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Although his clothes hint that he’s tried to
put himself together, his hair is a mess. It’s longish, with a hint of curls
and is the kind of tousled only some men can pull off. Though deep brown, Tyler
can see some gray at the temples. Asher has dark eyes and sports the shadow of
a beard. Despite the pallor of his skin that indicates he hasn’t gotten sun in
a long time and his slightly sloppy appearance, Tyler can’t help but notice how
handsome he is. He’s taller than Tyler by a few inches—most men are. He has no
idea how old Asher is—it would hardly be polite to ask—but he thinks maybe in
his thirties. That’s hardly old, but it’s older than he; that’s never been an
attraction. But, it’s working right now. Tyler swallows and smiles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“So,” Asher starts. He sits at the same
table. It’s just as covered in paperwork. “What are your thoughts about working
here?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Are…” Tyler eyes him. “Are you hiring me?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I am strongly considering it.” Asher
doesn’t smile but his eyes are friendly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“It would be great to work here,” Tyler
says. “Really. This building has a vibe.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Oh, I don’t know. Something here feels
right.” He wonders if he’s making a fool of himself. Tyler sometimes can sense
the energy of a person or place. It’s nothing he seeks—but some people and
places he’s encountered just feel right.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Empty, Idlewild brims with potential. It’s a
building with great bones, long but narrow, with high groin-vaulted ceilings
and a bar that curves down the length of the front-of-house floor.
Cream-colored wainscoting lines the bottom of the walls—he sees it running up
the stairs to the second floor—and the walls are a rich deep red that’s
brightened and warmed by an eclectic assortment of antique lighting fixtures.
Wide wooden steps with carved spindles lead to the second floor seating area.
The dark wood and walls are offset by light through the large glass window. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Well, I hope so.” Asher looks around, then
shrugs. “Or that I can make something of it.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Just you?” Tyler asks. “That sounds
exhausting.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Asher tilts his head with a tiny smile
quirking his lips. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Well, if you wanna take a chance on me,
which I recommend, I want to help you with that.” Tyler smiles as warmly as he
can and is gratified when Asher’s eyes catch his. They share a second of eye
contact that leaves Tyler short of breath. He looks away quickly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

trained to correct for what it expects to see, which means that you will
frequently not notice obvious errors (such as the word “the” repeated). To
trick your brain into actually paying attention to every word, read the story
out loud. If you’re nervous about someone else hearing your unpolished work,
read it to yourself when you’re alone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

who understand the joy and the pain of writing can be a valuable asset when
you’re in the depths of a project or, on the flipside, when you are having
trouble getting a story to flow. Other writers can provide advice, or they can
just be there as a sympathetic listener who understands exactly what you’re
going through.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

not be realistic to write even 250 words per day. Find your realistic goal, and
aim for it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

reader who tells me that they love my story and has no changes to suggest is
lovely but not helpful. I need my first readers to tell me where the plot holes
are, where my descriptions are weak, where I missed the end of a sentence
because I got distracted. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Dani Perez, a secular Israeli working as a
software engineer in Boston, has never had trouble balancing his faith and his
sexuality—until he meets Avi Levine, a gay Orthodox Jew and sign language
interpreter. As they fall in love, Dani finds himself wanting Avi in his life,
but he can’t understand how Avi reconciles what his religion demands with what
his body desires. And although he wants to deny it, neither can Avi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Despite the risk of losing Avi forever to a
religious life that objects to their love, Dani supports him through the
struggle to find an answer. Will they be able to start a life together despite
religious ideology that conflicts with the relationship they are trying to
build?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“All of the dati people I knew before I came
out, they all thought that gay people were an abomination. And while, yes, I’m
learning that not all dati people feel that way, I still have trouble
understanding how someone can identify as dati and gay,” Danid said. I mean,
yeah, halacha doesn’t mandate thought, just action. But how many people know
that? How many people practice that?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“A lot of people know. Think of it this way.
Halacha has a lot to say about kashrut. But not everyone keeps the same type of
kosher, even among the dati community. So, for example, I don’t hold that you
have to only eat glatt meat or chalav Yisrael milk, but other people do. That
doesn’t make my type of kosher any less legitimate than their type of kosher.
The people who only eat glatt or chalav Yisrael won’t eat the food I make, but
that’s because of how they interpret the rules. In my experience, most of them
don’t believe I’m not keeping kosher; they just hold by a greater stricture.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“We have a difference of opinion on how to
interpret the law,” Avi continued. “Judaism allows for that; we have a long
tradition of different communities having different standards, all of which are
considered legitimate interpretations of halacha. Same with this. My
interpretation of halacha has no problem with my being gay and my being frum.
Someone else’s opinion of halacha may not be as inclusive, but those people may
also say I don’t keep kosher enough or that the fact that I have a television
in my house or an Internet connection means that I’m not frum. I disagree. My
community disagrees. If they don’t like my interpretation of halacha, they can
leave me to my life. I’m not going into their houses and saying they have to be
accepting of my kashrut standards, but at the same time they cannot come into
my house and tell me that I cannot eat my own food to my own standards of
kashrut.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Avi
stopped and took a breath. Dani closed the distance between them and took Avi’s
hand. “Okay, motek, I get it,” he said. “I think. I mean, it’s still a huge
thing for me to work through, since I have been so used to the dati community
that I know judging me simply for whom I choose to love. I just… Until I met
you, I had never met an Orthodox Jew who was open-minded about gays. So I admit
it will take me some time to adjust my biases. Please be patient with me,
motek.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“We’ll
be patient with each other,” Avi said, bending for a kiss.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><i><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16.0pt;">Blurb:</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;">Let the erotic pain lift you into its arms.
Surrender to it. Surrender to me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;">Rylee Miller, independent, strong and in
control, seeks intensity of experience in all things. She craves hardcore
sadomasochism and believes erotic suffering is just another challenge to be
overcome. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;">Taggart Fitzgerald, aka Leather Master, is a
world-class whip and leather-gear craftsman. A highly skilled and sexy Dom,
he’s also a brooding, intense and self-contained man. He takes what he wants
from women, keeping his heart firmly out of the equation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;">When they meet on a video shoot for BDSMConnections,
their intense, visceral connection stuns them both. The Leather Master is
intrigued by Rylee’s staunch assertion she’s not a submissive. Is she lying to
him—or just to herself? Or maybe she has never learned to truly surrender. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;">With Taggart’s dominant, sadistic side and
Rylee’s sensual, masochist mindset, they should be the perfect pair. But
accepting her true nature may not be easy when the Dom she’s falling for is a
man so damaged by a past filled with pain that he’s unable to trust in love. Or
maybe it’s that he has never learned to surrender to his heart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<b><i><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16.0pt;">My thoughts:</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;">Let me start by saying that first
chapter…wow. Talk about investing me in a character and forcing me to want to
read more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;">It was my pleasure to meet Rylee and Tag in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Surrender
to Me</i></b>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;">Tag is an adorable (hope he forgives me for
saying that lol) character who professionally walks the line of a
self-confident Dom who ironically lacks the confidence to see himself as
anybody’s ‘special someone’. It’s sad, truly, because he is oozing with sex
appeal and personality, but has accepted the fact that fast hook-ups in a sex
club are the best he deserves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;">Now Rylee…damn do I love a good female lead
with backbone and brains. But she has her own line she is walking and not aware
of. The way she laughed off the D/s relationship even while ultimately needing
just that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;">Like all of Claire Thompson’s books, the
scenes are well written with a plot that encourages you to read just one more
chapter tonight and the sex is much like an afternoon in Florida—hot and sweaty
as f*ck. I love how she grabs me and puts me in the action.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;">I’ve suddenly got a hankering for some apple
cider and apple cake. Read</span><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;"> the book and
you’ll wanna join me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Thanks for having me! It’s a relief
(and kind of exciting) to finally be talking at length about <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Luchador</i>, since I first started working
on it three years ago! I’m really honored by the announcement from PW, and I’m
still trying to form words, other than to say that I’m incredibly grateful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Luchador</span></i><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;"> is my second book.
My debut, Sotto Voce, is also set in a world that I have a lot of love for—the
independent winemakers of Sonoma County. I’m a winemaker myself, and I am a big
fan of the somewhat smaller and mellower half of Northern California’s wine
country. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Luchador</span></i><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;"> is, no surprise,
set in the world of lucha libre, or Mexican masked wrestling. But don’t be put
off by the sweat, blood and Gatorade. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Luchador</i>
is really a coming of age story of a young man who is looking to chart his own
course in a world with set rules. There’s also Lycra.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #956e16; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">What is the biggest thing people think they know about
your subject/genre that isn’t so?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">People, especially in the US, see
luchadores and lucha libre as some sort of comedy act. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I can understand why this happens.
Lucha libre is largely unfamiliar to US audiences. Their only exposure to it
may be the movie Nacho Libre. It was a sweet movie, but Jack Black making jokes
about his stretchy pants isn’t exactly a nuanced representation of this art
form.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Art form? Why yes, I think lucha is a
form of performance art. It is a form of storytelling, with themes of the good
guys, taking on ruthless villains. The técnicos represent the honesty and hard
work. The rudos, or heels, represent powerful and unethical<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>entities. Lucha has played a role in political
movements in Mexico, particularly the role of exóticos—luchadores who are
typically openly gay and perform as gay characters—in moving Mexico toward
marriage equality.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #956e16; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">What are some references you used while writing this
book?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I spent an enormous amount of time
researching lucha libre for this book which not only included attending lucha
events in both the US and Mexico, but reading everything I could get my hands
on. One of the best resources was a PhD thesis on lucha libre, written by an
American woman who studied to be a luchadora. It was a great source of
fundamental information on lucha libre that I kept in mind while writing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #956e16; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Do you recall how your interest in writing originated?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I’ve enjoyed writing as long as I can
remember, including a grade school reimagining of a children’s book. Who would
have know at the time that it was basically Misty of Chincoteague fan fiction?
Where did that originate? I’m going to credit Dr. Seuss. Those books made words
come to life for me. I still love them, and can still recite Green Eggs and Ham
from memory.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #956e16; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">What do your plans for future projects include?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Did I mention how slow I am? My next
project is probably a nap! After that, I have a couple of ideas that are purely
in the stage of “thinking about”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #956e16; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Do you have anything specific that you want to say to
your readers?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I’ve had several early readers tell
me that they never would have considered reading a book about lucha libre until
they read Luchador. (Thankfully, they enjoyed it.) Here’s the thing, Luchador
is more than a book about lucha libre. In fact, I’d argue that it’s not about
lucha at all. The ring is a backdrop, a metaphor, in the larger coming of age
story of Gabriel Romero as he goes on a bit of a quest for his authentic
self—from behind a luchador’s mask.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Each week, Gabriel Romero’s drive to
Sunday mass takes him past “El Ángel,” the golden statue at the heart of Mexico
City that haunts his memories and inspires his future. Spurred by the memory of
his parents, Gabriel is drawn to the secretive world of lucha libre, where
wrestling, performance art and big business collide.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Under the conflicting mentorships of
one of lucha libre’s famed gay exótico wrestlers and an ambitious young
luchador whose star is on the rise, Gabriel must choose between traditions
which ground him but may limit his future, and the lure of sex and success that
may compromise his independence. Surrounded by a makeshift family of wrestlers,
Gabriel charts a course to balance ambition, sexuality and loyalty to find the
future that may have been destined for him since childhood.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">The new wrestling troupe was already
assembled when Gabriel arrived: the Bam Brothers, rudos from East L.A. whose
costumes of torn T-shirts and camouflage pants looked more thrasher rock than
lucha libre; CaCa, a mini dressed like a parrot whose gimmick involved fake
bird droppings, and his wrestling partner, Super Hiss, whose Lycra costume was
covered in a snakeskin print. Gabriel’s opponent arrived last, burrowed into a
dark, oversized hooded sweatshirt and warm-ups.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
wrestler unzipped the sweatshirt and removed the hood to reveal a curvy and
intimidatingly fit woman with dark hair and a rock-solid scowl. Standing about
five-foot five, she had the cut frame of a professional athlete and the
attitude of a CFO.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>She
walked up to Gabriel and held out her hand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“You
must be Ángel,” she said. “I’m Lola, but in the ring, they call me Electra. I’m
your rudo.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Gabriel
had never seen a luchadora square off one-on-one against a luchador, and the
prospect of fighting a woman left him off balance. His words tripped off his
lips.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Gabriel,”
he said, taking her hand. “I mean no offense, but there’s got to be a mistake.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“And
here we go,” Lola huffed. “Are you saying that no one told you I was going to
be your first opponent?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Ray
stepped behind Gabriel, clasping his shoulders in his hands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“You

boxer—the light welterweight champ.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Two

<span style="color: #984806; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Hey guys – well my favorite time of year is here. :) Gonna
spend tomorrow night handing out candy and binge watching horror movies until I
literally pass out with chocolate on my lips and wrappers stuck to my shirt.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #984806; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">And my parents had such high hopes for me…lmao.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #984806; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">What can I say, I’m a loner and a homer when it comes to
holidays – give me the classics on cable over a hopping party any day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #984806; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">BUT…before I get my binging on, I am going to stop by <u><a href="https://www.allromanceebooks.com/storeSearch.html?searchBy=author&qString=Havan+Fellows">All
Romance Ebooks</a></u> and stock up on some frightful scares for the wee
morning hours. They have their rebate sale going on – 50% rebate on all
purchases. As you probably already know, you pay full price but get 50% of your
purchase back in book bucks for next time…because we always want a next time,
right?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Hi! Thank you so much for having me on your
blog! I’m Rachel, and my hobbies include overanalyzing television shows and
pairing readers with their perfect books. My debut novel, Hold, is
a story about grief, identity, and transformation. After his
sister’s death, Lucas Aday can hardly drag himself back to school. He couldn’t
possibly prepare himself to stop time or to fall for the only other
boy who doesn’t stop moving.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #1c3d9f; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Was
there a basis for your story? A previous experience or something else?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Yes, in a sense. I also lost a sibling
around the same age as Luke and under similar circumstances, so there are
elements of his story that are also my own. There are moments in Luke’s life
that are drawn almost verbatim from my own experience, and yet it reads nothing
like a memoir. Luke walks through some of the same places I remember, but he
transforms them into something entirely new. His perspective is so separate
from mine and his parents are so, radically, different from my own, that I
often forgot how many parts of his story we share. Where I would have gone
right, he goes left, and this time I get to follow in his wake.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #1c3d9f; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">What
skills do you think a writer needs?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">A writer needs sheer, stubborn
determination. That doesn’t mean writers always need to believe in themselves.
We’re a neurotic, insecure lot, so that would be an impossible ask, but we do
need to work through the insecurity and keep making words. We have to be
comfortable with a hard rough draft, and a hard second draft, and a hard fifth
draft, until it all starts to slot into place, and through all of that we have
to be respectful when other folks— non-writers— can’t understand what’s so hard
about putting a bunch of words on a page.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">A writer needs to get comfortable with
criticism. That doesn’t mean we need to be happy about it. We can rant and send
long emails to our best friends about stupid readers who wouldn’t know a character
arc from a hole in the ground, but then we have to get up, dust ourselves off,
and get back to work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #1c3d9f; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">What
for you is the perfect book hero?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I like heroes who are smart, but earnest,
who love completely and who are willing to go to stupid, unreasonable lengths
for the things and the people that they love. I like heroes that are a mess and
are a little bit proud of their messy, irrational selves. I like heroes that
get mad and rage at a world of injustice, but most of all, I like heroes that
keep fighting, even though they’re terrified and would rather be eating ice
cream in bed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #1c3d9f; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Is
there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Oh yes. There’s a sports scene in Hold and
it took forever to write. I’m not very good at writing action in the best of
circumstances, and there are very few sports I know well enough to write
without a lot of research. Two Hold characters play lacrosse and that is not
one of the sports I knew well before writing this book. Even after a lot of
research time spent reading rule manuals for high school teams and watching
field footage, my go-to sports reader spent a solid ten minutes laughing at me
before she jumped into the critique. To be fair, she was right. It’s a much
better scene when everyone is on the correct parts of the field.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

us about your favorite childhood book.<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I read everything when I was a kid, but I
have to talk about Matilda. Roald Dahl was my idol for years, but that one had
a special place, and not just because she was also a voracious reader. Dahl has
a keen understanding of the powerlessness of childhood and, like so many
readers, I loved the fantasy of reclaiming control through magic. Of course,
like Hold, Matilda is also a story where some pretty intense trauma— in
Matilda’s case, abuse and neglect—is made a little easier to understand through
a power the main character doesn’t understand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Luke Aday knew that his sister’s death was
imminent—she had been under hospice care for months—but that didn’t make her
death any easier on him or their family. He returns to school three days after
the funeral to a changed world; his best friends welcome him back with open
arms, but it isn’t the same. When a charismatic new student, Eddie Sankawulo,
tries to welcome Luke to his own school, something life-changing happens: In a
moment of frustration, Luke runs into an empty classroom, hurls his backpack
against the wall—and the backpack never lands. Luke Aday has just discovered
that he can stop time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">As he entered the junior commons, Luke
almost stepped on a pair of shoes. The girl wearing them found her way around
him and scowled under her breath as Luke leaned against the nearest wall. He
was going to look teary-eyed and breakable no matter what. Along the edges he
couldn’t do more damage, and that’s where he caught the flash of blue. It was
on the wall next to the boy’s bathroom. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">The poster, held up by Scotch tape,
announced the theater department’s Spring Review in the same color and font
they’d used when Luke was nine. Ten years from now they would probably still
perform Shakespearian tragedies and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Oklahoma</i>.
This year, they were doing <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">25th Annual
Putnam County Spelling Bee</i>, but he didn’t care about that. He cared about
the names of the tech crew written across the bottom of the poster. That was
their spot, his and Marcos Aldama’s and Dee’s. For a year and a half, since
they’d been trusted to not to electrocute themselves, they’d run tech for every
production this school had bothered to stage. Dee was supposed to be the stage
manager, Marcos was supposed to be on sound and he was supposed to be on sets. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">But he wasn’t there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">He found Dee’s and Marcos’s names right
where they were supposed to be, and then there was a third name. He’d been
replaced by Neil Vargassi. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Vargassi?</i>
Luke had last heard that name when he’d found out that “that Vargassi kid” had
fallen off the stage during warm ups and had had to be sent to the emergency
room. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Luke read the poster three times with his
hand pressed against the wall beside it. The wall wasn’t going anywhere. He
wasn’t sure about anything else. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">They wouldn’t</span></i><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">—He read it again.
But of course, they would. He’d been gone a month at the beginning of the
spring semester with no explanation. Of course they would have found someone to
take his place, and he’d had the easiest tech job in the world. He wasn’t
irreplaceable, but he’d never thought— <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">He turned away from the poster and made
himself move, as the sickness slid into his gut. It pooled in a sludge below
his navel, like a toxic spill, and his body wanted it gone, but there were
people going in and out of the bathroom. There were people everywhere. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Luke clasped his hand over his mouth. On his
right, the door to a dark classroom sat ajar. He threw himself inside, grabbed
the trashcan by the door and gagged until his eyes watered. Nothing came up. He
couldn’t even make himself puke. He couldn’t do anything but make people feel
sorry for him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Luke crouched at the closed door with his
back flat against the metal kick plate, and pressed his fingers against his
temples until pain blossomed under his skin. His stomach turned. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I can’t make it
stop, because I shouldn’t be here anymore. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">He closed his eyes against the empty
classroom, the dirty book jackets and the kick marks on the legs of the chairs.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I should be gone. It
should have been me. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Luke pushed himself to his feet and tasted
tears. His phone rang in his backpack again and again. He had to answer it
because it could have been his mom, but his hands couldn’t remember how. He
pulled at the zipper on the front of his bag, but it wouldn’t give. He couldn’t
make it move. He tried again and, before he knew what he was doing, he hit it.
He hit the bag over and over again until it crunched under his fists. He
punched grooves into the plastic lining and ripped holes in the straps. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">The holes were real. He made them. The
fabric tore under his hands. He made that happen. But the phone wouldn’t stop
ringing—four, five, six—and, as he gasped for air, he lifted the backpack and
heaved it across the room like a grenade. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Luke turned away, closed his eyes and waited
for it to smash against the far wall. He waited and listened for the crunch and
the snap, but it never came. His bag never hit the floor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Hi, hello, and hey there! Thanks for hosting me today. I am a
queer writer, software tech, and owned cat person who lives in the DFW
Metroplex area. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Certainly</i> is my
second book, the second in a series, but my first book that features a
female-female love story. Sarita is a cake decorator, Maritza is a ballroom
dancer, and together they are a whole lot of fluffy fun with a side of some
drama. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #a5326e; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Talk
to us about your characters in this book. What makes them unique?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I love these ladies so much. Maritza was a
lot of fun to write, and she’s unique in my canon because she doesn’t really have
any insecurities. She can be indecisive about what to do in her life, she can
second-guess her choices, but as far as her view of herself, she’s solid and
secure. She’s very comfortable in knowing herself, and that’s interesting
because I tend generally to write people who aren’t on quite so solid ground
with themselves. It was a refreshing experience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Sarita was interesting to work with – in my
first book, she was a secondary character dispensing sarcasm and cool advice.
In book two, she’s still sarcastic and smart, but we see that it covers up
someone who is rattled by deep family problems, who is uncertain that it is
wise to continue her college studies even though she loves what she is
studying, and who just really is afraid to move from the place she’s standing
in. Maritza comes to shake that up a little, and it’s great.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #a5326e; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">What
was one of the most surprising things you learned in getting your book from
start to publish?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I’m still continually astonished by my
ability to write entire novels. I mean, I am sure I will get over that one day
but for now I keep going, how do I have that many words in me? How?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Then I listen to myself in conversation and
I begin to have some small idea.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Have you ever gone to a convention? If so, how was it? If not,
do you think it’s something you’d like to do in the future?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I have been to the RT Booklovers Convention
twice, and I just signed up to go again! I really enjoy conventions, I have
been to a few in my life outside of writing, and they are good for catching up
with friends from out of state that I don’t see often. They do leave me rather
exhausted from all the go-go-go, but man, they’re fun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">

<div class="MsoNormal">

you like to be a full-time writer?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I honestly do not know if I could be alone
with my brain that much. Truly I do not. I think it could be interesting for a
while, but I don’t believe it is sustainable for me, personally. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I am a woman of simple tastes. I like a nice
hand-tossed crust – truly hand-tossed, not the Pizza Hut version – with a white
sauce, some mozzarella, mushrooms, black olives, and marinated diced tomatoes,
maybe some Canadian Bacon. I also love a good Margherita pizza. I am
uncomplicated in my pizza choices!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Sarita Sengupta is in her last semester of
grad school and has finally realized she doesn’t have a career plan, a
girlfriend, or a clear outlook on life. She works as a pastry shop’s head
decorator, but is otherwise drifting without direction until a friend’s
birthday party ends with her waking up in surprise next to Maritza Quiñones, a
pretty ballroom dancer whose cheerful charm and laser focus sets Sarita on a
path to making all of the choices she’s been avoiding. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I met someone.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Devesh makes a happy little humming noise.
“Reeti, that’s great.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Yeah. It is. She is. I mean, so far. I met
her last night.” Not for the first time, Sarita wishes she’d had a land line
put in. She could use the coiled phone cord to fiddle with right now. “We had
dinner tonight.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“That’s really fantastic.” Devesh is
smiling, she knows, and she hears him put a hand over the phone to tell Sunil.
“Sunil says that’s great, too. Tell me about her?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Um,” She plucks at her laptop charging cable,
winding it around and between her fingers. “Well, her name is Maritza. She’s
hot, and she’s funny, and she’s a ballroom dancer who seems to actually know
what she wants to do with her life, and now I’ve got a complex.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Reeti,” Devesh sighs, and he tsks. “Come
on, don’t think like that. You’re great. You don’t need to have a complex.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Eight years of college and I don’t know
what I want to do with my life. You come on.” Shaking the coiled cable off of
her fingers, she picks it back up and starts twisting it again. “She’s known
what she wants since she was nine. When I was nine I wanted a Tamagotchi, which
I couldn’t even manage to keep alive for more than a week at a time.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Okay, the only person we knew who was
successful with their Tamagotchi was that Brian Michaelson kid from down the
street,” Devesh says. “The rest of us all sucked at it. I wouldn’t go around
using it as a yardstick to measure your life’s ambition by.” His voice softens.
“Don’t worry about it, Reeti. You’re doing fine. You want to study philosophy,
so you’re doing it. Figure everything else out later. And Jesus, don’t judge
yourself by someone else you just met.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Sarita leans on her hand, running her
fingers into her hair. “It’s been a long day.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I guess so.” The sounds of Devesh settling
in against a pile of pillows rustle down the line. “So. Funny, hot, and a
ballroom dancer, huh? She sounds like a keeper.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Sarita leans back in her chair, and suddenly
she’s smiling again, her paper and her existential crisis forgotten. “Early
days, but… you know, I definitely want to see her again. And again…”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">

his expression distant but not unkind. I wish he’d glare at me, shout,
whatever. Anything to show he gives a damn.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Luke, I’m sorry about this morning. It was
a mistake. If you got the wrong impression—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“The wrong impression? You kissed me. What
impression was that supposed to give me?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">He casts a nervous glance at the window.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“What’s wrong, Theo? Worried Giles might
hear? I don’t blame you. He’d probably make you bathe in disinfectant for a
year if he knew you’d kissed scum like me.” Theo starts to protest, but I shake
my head. “You know what? Forget it. So sorry I embarrassed you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I need to get out of here. Humiliation, hot
and clammy, coils like tar through my veins. Still, what did I expect? Theo’s
made it perfectly clear how he sees me, that he thinks I’m beneath him. I grab
for the nearest glass, intending to pour myself a liver full of whatever’s in
that jug, but my hand shakes so much it slips through my fingers. Glass
collides with oak in a minor explosion, glittering fragments flying.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Shit.” I drop to my knees, begin picking up
the larger pieces. I fumble, a jagged shard slicing my palm. “Shit.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Luke?” Theo crouches beside me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I’m fine.” I turn away from the phony
concern in his eyes, fist clenched around the cut to hide it from view. Blood
trickles through my fingers and onto my jeans. The pain is almost a relief.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Let me see.” Theo holds out his hand, but I
jerk away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I said I’m fine.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">He ignores me. With gentle firmness, he
takes hold of my wrist, uncurling my fingers to examine the wound. My body
stills. I scarcely breathe. Every nerve ending, every particle of my being is
aware of him, the pressure of his fingers on my wrist, his warm palm supporting
the back of my hand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Jamie lives in a tranquil spot close to the
River Thames in Berkshire, England, and has always been just a little out of
place—the only redhead in a family of brunettes; an introvert far more at ease
with dogs than with people; a connoisseur of simple pleasures in a society
intent on the quest for wealth and fame. Despite an outward cynicism, Jamie is
a romantic at heart, and, when not immersed in a book, can mostly be found
writing emotional stories where young men from all walks of life are thrust
headlong into the breathless, euphoric, often painful whirlwind called love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Disgraced former FBI agent Tim Burkhart
desperately wants to reclaim his life and find happiness. Relocating his
fledgling private security company to Miami—where his ex-wife moved their two
daughters—hopefully is a start. When he’s hired to provide protection for an
antiques dealer on his way to Scotland to sell a priceless ancient dirk, Tim
believes the break he’s been waiting for has finally arrived. Maybe now he can
make enough money to hire a lawyer and get shared parenting of his little
girls. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Elliot James runs the antique shop he
inherited after his grandfather’s death. Lonely and swimming in debt, he longs
for a way to turn his life around but keeps making one mistake after another.
Then he finds the ancient dirk tucked away among junk as he’s cleaning out his
grandfather’s home. Placing it up for sale, he is thrilled when an out of
country buyer purchases the priceless antique. The buyer wants the dirk immediately
and sends Tim to ensure Elliot safely delivers it on time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">The moment Tim and Elliot meet, however,
everything falls apart. Between break-ins, shoot-outs, stalkers, totaled cars,
and the cops, it seems Tim and Elliot will never get to Scotland by the
deadline. Despite all the obstacles, an unexpected attraction pulls them
together, offering each man a glimmer of hope. But if they don’t deliver the
dirk on time, they won’t get paid and neither of them will be able to pick up
the pieces of their lives. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Will they complete this job and find a
happily ever after, or is all of this really too good to be true?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Staring down the sights of his Colt 1911 and
into the panicked eyes of the young man, Tim said, “Keep your hands where I can
see ’em. I want to know where Mr. James is and why you’re in his store.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Out of the corner of his eye, Tim saw a
flash of metal. Instinctively he dropped to the floor. The sharp crack of a
bullet shot through the store, shattering something on his left.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">The guy behind the counter made a run for
the door.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Tim rolled behind the armoire, gritting his
teeth when the door slammed shut and the first guy got away. Careful to stay
out of sight, Tim assessed the shooter who’d come from the back room. He looked
as young and inexperienced as the one who’d run. Tim recognized the weapon in
his hand—a 9mm semi-automatic Beretta. Though Tim’s .45 could out-shoot the
little pea-shooter at the range, he had no interest in finding out who was the
better shot in real life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“¿Adónde vas?
¡Esperame!</span></i><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">” the shooter yelled to his retreating friend.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Wait for me.</span></i><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;"> Tim knew enough
Spanish. The guy planned to make a run for it, too. He clambered to his feet.
Before he could tackle and subdue him, the kid aimed his Beretta in the general
direction of the armoire and fired off a volley of shots.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Shit!” Tim dove behind a stack of rugs to
dodge the bullets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">The gun went silent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Tim rolled fast onto his back, his 1911
aimed, only to watch the kid flying out the door behind his friend. The door
bounced a few times until it closed, the bells clanging.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Shit! Shit!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">The scraping sounds in the back room, louder
than before, drew his attention once more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">As fast as he could, he crept around the
counter, his heart pounding. Both hands on his gun, trigger finger resting on
the frame and trigger guard, he took a quick peek into the room, ducking back
before a possible third perp could make him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">In less than a heartbeat, his brain
registered what he’d seen. He exhaled. Keeping his gun lowered but
at-the-ready, he entered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">In the center of what looked like a storage
room sat the man Tim had been hired to escort to Scotland. He’d been gagged and
duct-taped to a chair.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Elliot James.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Is anyone else here?” Tim murmured.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Mr. James shook his head wildly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">With a relieved sigh, he rushed over to the
man and yanked the gag out. “You okay?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Yeah.” He gasped for air. “I’m fine.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Were there only two?” he clarified, eyes
still peeled for danger.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Yeah,” he managed, his face flushed and
startling green eyes wide. Sandy-brown curls fell across the brow of a very
frightened but very beautiful man. He took a few slow, ragged breaths,
obviously trying to calm himself. “Just the two of them.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Tim took a steadying breath of his own and
slowly released the hammer on his Colt and flipped the safety up, never taking
his gaze off Mr. James. “What happened?” He holstered the weapon then tore the
duct tape from the man’s wrist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Aarrghh!” Mr. James jumped, the chair
bouncing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Tim winced when he noticed the arm hairs
stuck to the tape in his hand. “Sorry ’bout that.” He paused over the other
strip. “This one’s gonna hurt, too.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Mr. James pursed his lips and nodded
bravely. He let out a tiny hiss when Tim freed his second arm. That one didn’t
take as much hair because a silver bracelet had protected most of the skin.
Obviously, those punks had been amateurs in restraining.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Sorry,” Tim said again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Rubbing his wrists, he let out a breathy
laugh. “It’s okay. Thank you for saving my life.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I believe that’s what I was paid for. I’m
Tim Burkhart, your private security detail.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Mr. James’s smile made his heart flutter.
No, probably just the adrenaline. Tim didn’t get butterflies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Nice to finally meet you, Mr. Burkhart.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Call me Tim.” He stood and withdrew his
phone. He gestured toward his bound legs. “You okay to get those? I gotta call
the cops.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“No!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Tim almost dropped his phone when Mr. James
shouted. He gaped at the man. “What do you mean no?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Prying tape off of his khaki pants, the man
paused. Those big green eyes grew even wider. “You can’t call the cops. My
whole life depends on it!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Deanna Wadsworth might be a bestselling
erotica author, but she leads a pretty vanilla life in Ohio with her wonderful
husband and a couple adorable cocker spaniels. She has been spinning tales and
penning stories since childhood, and her first erotic novella was published in
2010. She has served multiple board positions at her local RWA chapter and with
Rainbow Romance Writers of America. When she isn’t writing books or
brainstorming with friends, you can find her making people gorgeous in a beauty
salon. She loves music and dancing, and can often be seen hanging out on the
sandbar in the muddy Maumee River or chilling with her hubby and a cocktail in
their basement bar. In between all that fun, Deanna cherishes the quiet times
when she can let her wildly active imagination have the full run of her mind.
Her fascination with people and the interworkings of their relationships have
always inspired her to write romance with spice and love without boundaries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Abby Amaro wants to sing at La Scala Opera
House, but she’s a good girl, and in 1957 good girls get married. Still, when
she receives her first marriage proposal, she freezes, knowing the way her
suitor makes her feel bodes trouble. When he won’t take no for an answer, she
flees, joining up with a traveling carnival.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Thanks to a burlesque trapeze artist and the
world’s saddest clown, Abby bides her time and fits in until she can rejoin the
world she knows. She doesn’t expect a sideshow strongwoman named Suprema, who
captures her imagination. As the carnival makes its way across the Midwest,
Abby learns much more than she had ever imagined—about herself, about her
identity, and, most importantly, about love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Abby couldn’t remember falling asleep. She
only remembered the dark night and how, outside the window of Della’s trailer,
the rolling slopes of Eastern Ohio slowly flattened into the farmland of the
western side of the state and faded into darkness. She didn’t say much during
the trip, but her mind was spinning, unable to process what she had done.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Once, when she had been a little girl,
barely older than Annette was now, her mother had taken her and Natale to visit
their aunt in Chicago for a week. It had been a nice visit. They had embarked
on the train with a great deal of ceremony, and Za Teresa had spoiled the pair
rotten, loading them up with peach-shaped marzipan and pizzelle until they were
both sick. She hadn’t left Cleveland for any extended period of time since. Oh,
sure, she’d talked and dreamt about it. Nonna often wistfully mentioned taking
a trip back to her girlhood home one more time now that the war was over and
taking Abby along to look after her, and then, if her opera career took off as
she had once hoped, she would be visiting all the great cities. In her
scrapbook, clippings of Palais Garnier, La Scala, and The Met were decorated
with carefully drawn hearts and hopeful stars and the scrawled word: someday.
Still, she had never imagined that when she departed the Coventry neighborhood
again, it would be in a burlesque dancer’s trailer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Hollywood comes to Roanoke when a major film
studio announces they’re shooting part of their Civil War film at a local
plantation. Vinnie is dismayed to discover that the lead actress is none other
than the beautiful and popular Caroline St. Clair. Ethan and Vinnie made her
acquaintance in LA the previous Halloween, while undercover, and Vinnie still
hates her for hitting on his man.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ethan
reassures his partner that Roanoke is big enough for all of them to co-exist
without running into one another.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">But Fate has it in for Vinnie and Ethan, and
they find themselves assigned to a new case involving the actress. Apparently
she requested Ethan specifically, to Vinnie’s dismay. But he doesn’t have a
choice, he has to play nice. It’s small consolation to Vinnie that his new
undercover identity involves Hollywood heartthrob Troy McGarrett, who is very
handsome and openly gay. Troy isn’t shy about letting Vinnie know he finds him
attractive.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Jealousy abounds in the second book of the
Rose and Thorne series, and time is not on Vinnie and Ethan’s side. If they
don’t solve the case before the film shoot is done, there’s a good chance
they’ll be separated for the first time since they were partnered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Assuming Vinnie doesn’t kill Caroline St.
Clair himself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Hey, Vin, did you see who’s in town?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I was slumped at the kitchen table, my head
cradled on top of my arms. I was grumpy and sleepy—and maybe a few of the other
Seven Dwarves—and I needed my first cup of morning coffee before I could even
consider being slightly civil. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">We’d spent most of last night sitting in our
car, in the goddamn middle of nowhere, staring at nothing, assigned to a
fruitless surveillance in a small town about an hour from Roanoke. As it turned
out, all the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">real</i> action was in a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">different</i> small town in the complete
opposite direction from where we waited, because our so-called informant
couldn’t spell the name of the place correctly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What a difference one letter makes. So we’d ended up completely wasting
our time, got lost trying to find the rest of the task force at the end of the
night, almost got hit by a deer that came out of nowhere and took a sudden
shine to our car, and then suffered the indignity on our return of being asked
where the hell we’d been all night—<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">and</i>
we still needed to do the paperwork. And now Ethan wanted to play Twenty
Questions?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Don’t know and don’t care,” I mumbled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I heard him slap something down on the
table. I forced one eye open, just in time to see him sashay toward the coffeemaker.
Okay, for that ass, I’d open the other one too. I watched as he poured the
blessed elixir into two mugs, added the appropriate amount of creamer and sugar
to each, then returned to where I still watched him and set one in front of me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Right next to the morning paper. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Real subtle, Ethan.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Let’s check out this author…<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Julie Lynn Hayes first began publishing
short stories and poetry in the 1990’s, when it was a different ballgame
altogether, and Ebooks hadn’t been dreamed of yet. That changed in 2010 with
the acceptance of her first romance novel. She’s come a long way since that
first book appeared, and is finding the journey a very educational one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">She lives in St. Louis with her daughter
Sarah and her cat Ramesses. She often writes of two men finding true love and
happiness in one another’s arms, and is a great believer in the happily ever
after. She likes to write in different genres, to stretch herself in order to
see what is possible. Her great challenge is to be told something can’t be
done—she feels compelled to do it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">When she isn’t writing, she enjoys crafts,
such as crocheting and cross stitch,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>needlepoint and knitting, and she loves to cook, spending time watching
the Food Network. Her favorite chef is Geoffrey Zakarian. Her family thinks
she’s a bit off, but she doesn’t mind. Marching to the beat of one’s own
drummer is a good thing, after all. Her published works can be found at
Dreamspinner Press, eXtasy Books, and Wayward Ink Press.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

simple—a summer spent with his girlfriend Zara at her family’s holiday cottage
in Cornwall. Seventeen-year-old Luke Savage jumps at the chance, envisioning
endless hours of sunbathing on the private beach and riding the waves on his
beloved surfboard. He isn’t interested in love. Though his rugged good looks
and lazy charm mean he can have his pick of girls, he has no intention of
falling for anyone.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

his reaction to Theo, the sensitive Oxford undergraduate who is Zara’s cousin
and closest friend. All at once, he is plunged along a path of desire and
discovery that has him questioning everything he thought he knew about himself.
No one, especially Zara, must find out; what he and Theo have is too new, too
fragile. But as the deceit spirals beyond their control, people are bound to
get hurt, Luke most of all</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK4;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK7;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK8;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK9;"><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">.</span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I
swallow against the dryness in my throat. “We need to talk.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">No
response.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Slowly,
as though wading through deep sand, I cross the room until I’m standing right
behind him. He grips the edge of the worktop.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Theo?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Still
nothing. Only the convulsive tightening of his fingers shows he even heard me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Theo,”
my voice cracks, “don’t do this.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Theo
sucks in a breath. When he replies, his tone is even. “Do what?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“This.
Shutting me out.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I’m—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“And
don’t say you’re not, because we both know that isn’t true.” I’m aware of my
voice rising, and lower it with an effort. “Just…don’t.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Theo
exhales in a long sigh. He turns to me, his expression distant but not unkind.
I wish he’d glare at me, shout, whatever. Anything to show he gives a damn.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Luke,
I’m sorry about this morning. It was a mistake. If you got the wrong
impression—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“The
wrong impression? You kissed me. What impression was that supposed to give me?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">He
casts a nervous glance at the window.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“What’s
wrong, Theo? Worried Giles might hear? I don’t blame you. He’d probably make
you bathe in disinfectant for a year if he knew you’d kissed scum like me.”
Theo starts to protest, but I shake my head. “You know what? Forget it. So
sorry I embarrassed you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I
need to get out of here. Humiliation, hot and clammy, coils like tar through my
veins. Still, what did I expect? Theo’s made it perfectly clear how he sees me,
that he thinks I’m beneath him. I grab for the nearest glass, intending to pour
myself a liver full of whatever’s in that jug, but my hand shakes so much it
slips through my fingers. Glass collides with oak in a minor explosion,
glittering fragments flying.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Shit.”
I drop to my knees, begin picking up the larger pieces. I fumble, a jagged
shard slicing my palm. “Shit.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Luke?”
Theo crouches beside me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I’m
fine.” I turn away from the phony concern in his eyes, fist clenched around the
cut to hide it from view. Blood trickles through my fingers and onto my jeans.
The pain is almost a relief.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Let
me see.” Theo holds out his hand, but I jerk away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I
said I’m fine.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">He
ignores me. With gentle firmness, he takes hold of my wrist, uncurling my
fingers to examine the wound. My body stills. I scarcely breathe. Every nerve
ending, every particle of my being is aware of him, the pressure of his fingers
on my wrist, his warm palm supporting the back of my hand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Jamie
lives in a tranquil spot close to the River Thames in Berkshire, England, and
has always been just a little out of place—the only redhead in a family of
brunettes; an introvert far more at ease with dogs than with people; a
connoisseur of simple pleasures in a society intent on the quest for wealth and
fame. Despite an outward cynicism, Jamie is a romantic at heart, and, when not
immersed in a book, can mostly be found writing emotional stories where young
men from all walks of life are thrust headlong into the breathless, euphoric,
often painful whirlwind called love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“There’s a reason you two aren’t allowed to
hang out alone.” Arms crossed, one impeccable eyebrow raised, lips twisted,
hair artfully tousled, and dressed to the nines: Alexander Wang black-on-black
tropical-printed board shorts, a slim fit black-and-white chino and matching
black lapel jacket, black boots, and a black and white scarf to tie it all
together. “Nico,” Gwen says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Nico?” Grady is up in a flash. “You came?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Nico’s face softens into his Grady look. “Of
course I came. Did you really think you were getting rid of me that easily?”
Grady comes closer, and Nico brushes a spiraled lock of hair from his face.
“I’m sorry it took me so long. There were storms over Dallas, and I got stuck
on the tarmac with a dead phone. I barely made my connection, and the
clusterfuck of morons known as the United gate at JFK could not get its shit
together, and I may be banned outright from Charlotte-Douglas International,
can you believe they flag you as a security risk and hold you in a room with no
phone signal or Wi-Fi just for threatening one person with shoving that goddam
intercom up their—” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He opens his arms
for Grady; his look of annoyance slips away the moment they touch. “Anyway, I’m
here.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Grady sighs, crowds into Nico’s space, and
tucks himself into Nico’s body. Much better, a perfect fit. “God, I love you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I love you, too.” Nico sinks one hand into
his hair, strokes the nape of his neck with other, breathes him in, and closes
his eyes. “I’m so sorry. About the apartment and taking off and not being here
yesterday, I tried to so hard to make it because I know how difficult it is for
you. You shouldn’t have been alone.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Grady sniffs and holds him tighter. “It’s
okay. We’re okay. I’m sorry, too.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Still ensnared in the sheets and duvet and
barely awake, Gwen presses her hands to her cheeks and awws. “You guys,” she
coos. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Grady lifts his head from Nico’s neck to
smile at Gwen. “I wasn’t alone, though.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Mmm” Nico says. “And how much trouble did
she get you into?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">None</i>,”
Gwen says, defensive. Here she kept Grady safe and sound, searched all over
Nashville and Las Vegas while he was off burying himself in work and what
thanks does she get? None.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">But then Grady smirks and says, “Kind of a
lot.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Grady.” Gwen throws a pillow at him. “You’re
such a tattletale, gosh.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">He bends to whisper something in Nico’s ear,
and Gwen doesn’t miss the way his lips drag and linger on the shell of it, or
the way Nico’s breath catches and his eyes roll back. When Nico lifts Grady’s
shirt and traces around the tattoos with reverent fingers, Gwen takes that as
her cue to extricate herself from the bed, put on some pants and a bra, and go
fetch her luggage. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“‘Kay you guys have fun and make sure to
change the sheets when you’re finished.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Wait.” Nico tugs Grady’s shirt down. Then
he goes to the case he always has nearby. “You have trouble of your own, Gwen.
Thought you might want to know about this.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Gwen catches the magazine and folded-up
papers he tosses her way: screen grabs from a few entertainment websites
printed out in black and white. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #d600d7; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Excerpt</span></i></b><span style="color: #d600d7; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16.0pt;">:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“You know the lust arrows only work if the
person’s mind is open to it. I shot Raymond with a Class 4 gay lust arrow. They
only have a little more juice than a few tequila shooters. They can’t make a
straight man gay.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“But that is what you are trying to do,”
Ethan shot back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“You know it doesn’t work that way.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">To prove my point, I materialized one of my
long purple arrows.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Without warning, I stabbed Ethan in the
heart with it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Oww!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">The arrow exploded in a burst of light and
glittering purple dust, the blast blowing our hair back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">When the magic cleared, the stunned
expression on Ethan’s face cracked me up. “Now, do you spontaneously wanna suck
my cock?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">He gaped at me like I’d lost my ever-lovin’
mind. “What did you do that for?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Don’t get your panties in a wad. Class 4G
lusts can’t make someone gay. You’re born that way. There’s even a Lady Gaga
song to prove it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">His big hand rubbed where I’d hit him. “You
should not have done that, Lio. You have no idea what you just did.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I already shot an unauthorized arrow
tonight, what’s one more? Besides, unless you’re gay, it won’t affect you.” I
waggled my brows. “So what are you so worried about? Got sumthin’ you wanna
confess?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">He actually growled at me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Build a bridge,” I told him. “If anyone has
a right to be pissed off here, it’s me. The gaydar says Raymond is gay, yet you
asshats over in SD decided to shoot him and a woman with true love arrows. Talk
about a douche move. Forcing the man to lie to himself and everyone about who
he is. And how is that fair to do to the girl? She’s a victim too!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“The IDAC does not consider a gaydar to be a
reliable source of information,” he said, completely ignoring the
more-than-valid complaint.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Humans were born with a variety of
sexualities, but there were only a limited variety of arrows to complement the
IDAC’s narrow-minded ideas on sexuality. In a nutshell, there were gay arrows
and the naturally more powerful straight arrows. Don’t get me started on the
complexities of targeting anybody not gay or straight. I was glad not to be
assigned to those fledgling subdivisions of GD because they often had to work
with the jerks in SD. However, both primary divisions had arrows for love (red)
and lust (purple), each with four different strength ratings—one being the most
potent. In other words, the Class 1S love Ethan had been using was the highest
strength straight love arrow—aka the most powerful of all arrows.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Hence his being so pissed at me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I’m not gonna sit here and argue politics
with you. We both know I’m already in trouble for an unauthorized arrow launch.
Make that two,” I amended, gesturing to his chest. “Why the fuck do you think I
don’t have love arrow privileges anymore? Hell, the sparks our collision set
off will raise questions too. I’m already busted. Fine! I’m ready to face
whatever comes my way. When I set out to do this, I knew there were risks.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Set out to do this?” he repeated, looking
utterly appalled. “You mean you have done this before?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I swallowed, feeling like a child being
scolded. “Only on unattached people.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I cannot believe you would do that to
someone! A person’s decision to come out is deeply personal. You have no right,
Lio! None!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Yeah, but the Fates did, I supposed. Who put
those bitches in charge, anyway?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I didn’t know what Ethan’s big fat beef
might be—besides the one in his pants—but I had to get my ass out of this
sling. “Like I said, I’m already busted. If you think Raymond isn’t gay, let’s
just follow them”—I pointed to my unauthorized mark and the guy with him, both
of them deliberately brushing hips and shoulders as they walked down the
street—“and see what happens. If he changes his mind, I’ll admit the gaydar is
inaccurate, I’ll turn myself in for interrupting your mark, and you won’t even
get in trouble.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">He glared. “And if your arrow works, I
suppose you get to walk?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“If I’m right, and those two dudes get their
freak on, you can do what you want with me.” Too bad that wouldn’t be those
full lips around my dick. “But you give me back the gaydar and you don’t tell
anyone I have it or that I was here.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Ethan looked at the device in his hand as if
it would explode or jump up and bite his cock off. His expression would’ve been
funny if this weren’t so serious. He seemed to be weighing something in his
mind, and I felt his anger retracting. Still, an aura of incredible danger and
masculinity wafted about him. My heart thumped wildly, both from nerves and the
exotic spiciness of his skin. Knowing his ferocious appearance was tempered
with an innate goodness made me a little hot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Okay, a lot hot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Though it went against every rule I made for
myself, I couldn’t stop picturing Ethan naked. Sure, I was as horny as any
cupid, but something about this Aztec amplified all of my senses far more than
usual—especially the ones below the waist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I cannot believe I am saying this,” Ethan
said slowly. “But I will give you one chance. One. But if you ruin that man’s
life, your ass is mine.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Talk dirty to me,” I purred.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">He lowered dark brows. “You are not funny.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“I think I’m a really fun guy. Especially
when I’m naked.” I couldn’t help myself and gave him a suggestive wink. “And
whoever said a little dick up the ass would ruin a man’s life? Ever try it? The
orgasms are un-fucking-believable.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Ethan curled his lip and growled at me like
an angry cat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Jeesh, sorry I mentioned it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">He seized my arm in a viselike grip. “Come.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">If I’d known going with Ethan would turn my
world upside down, I would’ve grabbed my gaydar and run, taking my chances with
my boss, the IDAC, and even the Fates. Because I wasn’t prepared for what was
coming my way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Not at all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Deanna Wadsworth might be a bestselling
erotica author, but she leads a pretty vanilla life in Ohio with her wonderful
husband and a couple adorable cocker spaniels. She has been spinning tales and
penning stories since childhood, and her first erotic novella was published in
2010. She has served multiple board positions at her local RWA chapter and with
Rainbow Romance Writers of America. When she isn’t writing books or
brainstorming with friends, you can find her making people gorgeous in a beauty
salon. She loves music and dancing, and can often be seen hanging out on the
sandbar in the muddy Maumee River or chilling with her hubby and a cocktail in
their basement bar. In between all that fun, Deanna cherishes the quiet times
when she can let her wildly active imagination have the full run of her mind.
Her fascination with people and the interworkings of their relationships have
always inspired her to write romance with spice and love without boundaries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">When Joel Jones finds homeless Russian,
Sasha, outside his gay nightclub in Prague, he cannot find it in his heart to
turn him away, so he offers him a home and a job as a dancer and stripper.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Despite a fifteen-year age gap, romance
develops between them, but is interrupted when Joel has to return to England
for many weeks to deal with a death in the family.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Upon Joel’s return, he is horrified to
discover his business partner, Karel, has gambled away the club’s money and put
them all at risk. Joel buys him out of the club, but when Karel continues to
gamble, the people he owes pursue Joel for the debt instead—and they’ll stop at
nothing to get paid.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Suddenly Joel and those he cares
about—especially Sasha—are in danger, and Joel finds himself with no choice but
to seek the help of known criminal, Vincenc Jankovic. Ensuring a happy future
for himself and Sasha will mean a struggle and some difficult decisions, but
Joel is determined to protect what they’ve built together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #daa655; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Exclusive Excerpt</span></i></b><span style="color: #daa655; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16.0pt;">:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Sasha’s eyes lit up as he smiled at me and
he spoke in little more than a whisper. “I want you too.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I glanced around us, noting only two tables
close to us were occupied. Four young women surrounded one, and two guys held
hands across the other. I twisted in my seat, lifted my hand to cup Sasha’s
cheek, and guided him into a kiss. I caressed his parted lips with mine and
slipped my tongue into his mouth, just enough to taste the red wine he’d sipped
moments earlier. He whimpered softly as we kissed, and I slid my hand from his
cheek to the back of his head, gently massaging his scalp through his silky
hair. My cock swelled and pushed against the fly of my suit pants. I drew away
reluctantly and turned my attention back to my meal. I longed to touch him, and
the memory of that one brief episode in the club’s kitchen taunted me, keeping
me hard as I plowed through two courses of food and a little too much wine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Would you like to order dessert?” The
waiter had cleared our plates from the table and returned to take another
order. “Or coffee?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“No, thank you. Bring the bill, please.” I
pulled out my wallet in readiness to pay for the meal. “We can have coffee at
the club,” I added when Sasha appeared surprised. “Or at my place perhaps?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">He smiled and glanced up at me coyly through
lowered lashes. “I haven’t seen your place yet.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Damn it, you look sexy when you do that,” I
muttered. I’d been half-erect throughout lunch and hadn’t been able to get the
thought of touching him out of my mind. I looked down, casting my eyes over the
gray and white striped shirt he wore, to the waistband of his smart black
pants. The bulge of his arousal made my erection swell a little more. I yearned
to undress him and explore him, but more than that, I wanted to hold him in my
arms, cuddle him and kiss him, let him know how much I’d grown to care for him,
despite the length of time we’d been apart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Louise Lyons comes from a family of writers.
Her mother has a number of poems published in poetry anthologies, her aunt
wrote poems for the church, and her grandmother sparked her inspiration with
tales of fantasy. Louise first ventured into writing short stories at the grand
old age of eight, mostly about little girls and ponies. She branched into
romance in her teens, and MM romance a few years later, but none of her work
saw the light of day until she discovered FanFiction in her late twenties.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Posting stories based on some of her
favorite movies, provoked a surprisingly positive response from readers. This
gave Louise the confidence to submit some of her work to publishers, and made
her take her writing “hobby” more seriously.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Louise lives in the UK, about an hour north
of London, with a collection of tropical fish and tarantulas. She works in the
insurance industry by day, and spends every spare minute writing. She is a keen
horse-rider, and loves to run long-distance. Some of her best writing
inspiration comes to her, when her feet are pounding the open road. She often
races into the house afterward, and grabs pen and paper to make notes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Louise has always been a bit of a tomboy,
and one of her other great loves is cars and motorcycles. Her car and bike are
her pride and joy, and she loves to exhibit the car at shows, and take off for
long days out on the bike, with no one for company but herself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;">The band room was empty when he pushed the
door open, but the piano was set up like it was almost every afternoon these
days. Only Mr. Robinette and a music stand littered with sheet music was
absent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

silence struck Lennox as odd, but as he sat down he also realized how strange
it was to announce himself. So much had changed since the first time he'd snuck
in here to play on his own. Now he was auditioning for some college he still
couldn't fathom. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>To

Robinette was behind him, the door to his office now wide open. He'd taken off his
tie and undone a few buttons on his shirt like he did most afternoons when they
practiced.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">

took a seat at the piano, but didn't both opening his bag. He'd memorized the
piece he was playing by Valentine's Day and now, almost two weeks later, he
could write it out measure for measure on blank sheet music. But playing it was
becoming repetitive. For two hours, three times a week, almost nonstop with the
same four pages and nothing else.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"I'd

Mr. Robinette returned to his office, Lennox pulled what had become his music
notebook out of his bag and opened it to the latest page. He'd taken to
composing during class when he should have been taking notes, especially
calculus where he had no reason to pay attention anyway.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
latest page was a tune he'd come up with while the other kids had been tapping
their pencils and erasing answers. Every moment of his life carried a rhythm, a
melody, and an emotion he could create with, and his notebook was becoming a
testament to that. He played through everything he'd jotted down over the past
few days, but after several rounds he kept coming back to one. It was a piano
version he'd tried—and mostly failed—to create of one of the songs Will had
played on a loop a few weeks ago.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Robinette's voice carried out of the office and into the band room. A few
minutes and several jingles of Mr. Robinette's keys later, the office door was
shut and Lennox was closing the cover on the keys.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"That

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Lennox
shrugged as they headed for the door.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"It

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Well,
the others did. They were all really good, even the ones that weren't
covers."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Lennox
watched him at the door to the parking lot for a moment. He'd been a great help
over the last month—all year if Lennox was honest. Mr. Robinette had believed
in him in his own way since school had begun, and thanks to him he had a decent
shot at this audition.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Thanks
for… all of this. I actually feel like—just thanks."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Mr.
Robinette gave him a genuine smile and patted him on the shoulder.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"You're
very welcome. Let me know how it goes when you get back, okay? I'm rooting for
you. Got all of my fingers and limbs crossed. You deserve the chance. Don't
doubt that or yourself."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"I-I
won't."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>It
was funny to have so many people believing in him after so long. Happiness was
a strange feeling as well. Until he'd let Will into his life he couldn't
remember how to capture such a feeling in his chest and keep it there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

never found the level of intimacy he witnessed between Thomas Williams and his

drink beer, which is why there’s a glass of chilled chardonnay on the living room
table, waiting for you. Two, excuse me—weary? Hard-working? You’ve been
standing around in leather chaps and a harness, watching while guys do all

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Born and raised in the north-west of
England, K.C. WELLS always loved writing. Words were important. Full stop.
However, when childhood gave way to adulthood, the writing ceased, as life got
in the way. K.C. discovered erotic fiction in 2009, when the purchase of a
ménage storyline led to the startling discovery that reading about men in love
was damn hot. In 2012, arriving at a really low point in life led to the
desperate need to do something creative. An even bigger discovery waited in the
wings—writing about men in love was even hotter….<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">K.C. now writes full-time and is loving
every minute of her new career. The laptop still has no idea of what hit it… it
only knows that it wants a rest, please. And it now has to get used to the idea

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Good day! We are the voices that live inside
Will’s head. The ones who whisper to him constantly, beckoning him to speak of
our adventures, to tell of our love, and perhaps, if we’re in a mood, kill a
person or two.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">We guide his hand as he tells our tales
where love is the most powerful force, but must be worked for, molded, and
finally, embraced. There can be no shortcuts or substitutions on the path to a
happily ever after.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.0pt;">We hope you will join with us as Will
fulfills his obligation to ensure our stories are told and, we hope, enjoyed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
