Interview Marie Dry Author of Alien Captured
Give a warm welcome to Marie Dry, author of Alien Captured soon to be released June 9, 2018. Available for pre-order now! 
Pull up a chair, grab a drink of your choice from the cooler, a Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter cookie from the plate, and let’s find out a little about Marie Dry and her Alien Captured.
What inspired this particular story? I have no idea. Some stories I can pinpoint exactly where it came from but this one jumped into my mind out of nowhere.
Why do you write what you write? Contemporary, paranormal, suspense, etc. The characters that come to me decide where they fit. Including Alien Captured I have six science fiction romances with Dawn of the Cyborg that I handed in to the publisher that makes seven. But I also have a steampunk trilogy, a paranormal trilogy, a few contemporaries, a historical in various stages of completion.
Why did you choose the cover concept you did? I chose the stock photo picture but went with the suggestion of the cover artist for the rest.
Why should we read this book/series and what sets you apart from the rest and makes your book/series unique? The cultural differences between the aliens and humans are explored and the readers always tell me they enjoy the humor.
Who would you recommend this book to and what should readers be aware of before reading it? Romance readers and scifi romance readers. I cannot think of something that would be a trigger but people and the experiences they had differ. What I consider without triggers others might find upsetting.
Tell us something about yourself and allow us to get to know you. I have lived in Zambia, Morocco and Spain and love travelling and I love eating though I don’t cook and I do think I lose out on a lot of the culture of a country I live in by not cooking. I try to make up for that with the eating part. I love to go to the movies and to read and do yoga and walk every day. My absolute favorite thing is to spend time writing.
You’ve got a time machine, a cloak of invisibility, and one hour. Where would you go, and what eavesdropping would you do? I’d go a century into the future and see what it looked like and then I’d want to see what kind of romance books are popular in that time.
Who is your favorite character of all of the books you’ve written and Why? It was Azagor but now that I’m working on Alien Redeemed and I’m getting to know The Zyrgin he is holding that spot.
What do you want your readers to take away from your books? I want them to laugh and cry and experience my characters the way I did when I wrote them.
Where do your story ideas come from? If they come to you in the middle of the night, do you get up and write them all down? I get ideas all the time. I walk around with a note book and jot it down as much as I can. When I do manage to fall asleep I’m gone until the next day. No notemaking.
What’s your favorite part of being an author? Getting that first idea, then getting it down, then refining it, then editing it and then getting it back for edits and then holding the book in my hand and then hearing from readers who enjoyed it.
If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why? Telekenesis and the ability to do many things at ones. I’d write several books while I watched a movie.

Now tell us about Alien Captured.
It all went horribly wrong! Instead of her capturing an alien and selling him for enough credits to help her find her baby, the arrogant know it all alien took her dog hostage and now demanded she sponge him down. All over. And time was ticking for her baby.
A sneak peek between the pages of Alien Captured.
“What if the resistance doesn’t believe you have a Zyrgin captive? How will you prove to them that you have me captive?”
She shrugged, drawing his eyes to the way her generous breasts moved under the thick brown material of her dress. Her body was made to please a warrior’s eyes. “I’ll think of a way.”
“You can always cut off one of my fingers,” he taunted. He’d seen her run from a spider, but then she’d come back and used a shovel to pick it up and release it outside. No matter how tough she tried to appear, he didn’t believe she was capable of harming either a person or an animal. A few times, she’d look at the stick in his shoulder and tears had come to her eyes.
She paled, became white, like the clouds over Earth. “Don’t think I won’t do it,” she said.
“How will you get to my finger?” He reached up and pushed his hand through the grid. “Here, cut it off.”
She shrieked and disappeared from his view. Baring his teeth at the spot where she’d been, he pulled back his hand. Having a captive was not as easy as it sounded. They required food and care and bathroom facilities. If he’d known it could be this entertaining, he would have gotten himself captured by her much sooner.
“Don’t do that again, or I’ll really chop it off,” she said, coming into sight again.
“I promise I will not,” he said, so that she’d come closer again. He liked looking at her. She wasn’t strong enough to chop off anything he stuck out of the grid and didn’t have the tools that would do the job, but he wisely kept that thought to himself.
“After you have my finger, you will still need to call the resistance. We monitor their TC transmissions, and they are frequently contacted by people who claim to have a—”
She laughed so hard she fell backward.
He sighed. “Why are you laughing human?”
“You said—you said you listen to the resistance TCs. That’s so funny. You don’t even know where the resistance are, so how can you listen to their TCs?”
“We do not need to know where they are to monitor their transmissions.” He didn’t understand this conversation.
She came into view again and frowned down at him, still swallowing laughter. Once she looked around, as if afraid someone would catch her laughing. “That’s impossible, they’d have to know where the resistance are and get close enough to hide to be able to listen to their conversations.”
Azagor had experienced many wondrous things, had seen different cultures during their conquest of the known universes. Never had he been left speechless by someone who didn’t even have rudimentary knowledge of how technology worked.

Interview Sophia Karlson Author of Perfect Mistake
Give a warm welcome to Sophia Karlson author of Perfect Mistake released today, June 6, 2018. Happy book birthday!
dav
Pull up a chair, grab a drink of your choice from the cooler, a Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter cookie from the plate, and let’s find out a little about Sophia Karlson and her Perfect Mistake.
What inspired this particular story?
Perfect Mistake was inspired by a lot of little things. We lived in Tanzania for a couple of years, and this time, paired with working in the luxury safari industry, got my mind going. When, on one flight with a small aircraft – the DHC in the book – I saw how the two pilots actually had to push the throttle together, hand on hand, I was like…yikes, that’s some awkward handholding for you…and then, hmm, could be kinda hot and really intimate if you have to do that with a colleague you have feelings for. Spark…sizzle and BAMM… book in the making!
Why did you choose the cover concept you did?
The couple on the cover have this perfect mix of love, intimacy, and hesitation in their bearing. This is a second chance romance, and on the cover it looks as if the man is trying to coax something out of the woman…which he is. He just doesn’t quite know that it is his secret baby! The story centers around poaching of elephant tusks, and therefore the elephants in the front.
Why should we read this book/series and what sets you apart from the rest and makes your book/series unique?
One thing that sets me apart must be the location. There aren’t a lot of romances floating around that has East Africa as setting. The theme of conservation and how to conserve wildlife is important to me and I love to create awareness – this is my contribution. Every little helps!
What secret do you use to blast through writer’s block? Telling myself there is no such thing as writer’s block! I find that if I hit writer’s block, something isn’t quite right in the earlier parts of the book. I used to be a pantser, now I’ve become an outline plotter. I think that helps with writer’s block. Or let’s just say, this theory is going to be put to the test in my next writing attempt.
What inspired you to write? And how long have you been writing.
I’ve wanted to write since I was thirteen and first started reading romances. Ever since I’ve always been writing, it’s a great escape from a boring job. I took my first writing course in 2009, but only got seriously involved in 2013.
Did you tell friends and family that you were writing a book? Or did it take a while to come out and tell friends and family you were a writer?
Ha! It took me ages to ‘come out’. I only started telling people when a Canadian friend of mine, who is a life coach, told me she is going to help me come out if I don’t do so myself. Nothing like a bit of pressure!
Do you see yourself in your characters?
I think all writers reveal some of their inner self in their characters. Hopefully we hide it well enough in our books so that those who know us well can’t pick up on it.
What do you want your readers to take away from your books?
I love taking readers on a journey to a place they might never be able to visit. The best gift ever, to me as writer, would be to inspire a reader to travel to a far off destination, just because she’d read one of my books with that location as a setting. I’ve done this myself – I’ve been to Madeira because of a romance I read when I was only fifteen, and made a point of visiting Strassbourg because of Goethe (I studied German literature way back when).
Where do your story ideas come from? If they come to you in the middle of the night, do you get up and write them all down?
I’m prone to get into bed and being unable to sleep as characters just start taking over in my head. Sometimes I write things down, but I’ve noticed that what Stephen King said is true: if it is a really good idea you will remember it in the morning.
Okay, you’re casting the movie version of your novel – who would you choose for the main characters? We’re talking dream cast. Richard Armitage would definitely be the lead male. I’d have Charlize Theron for the female lead, she’s South African too! She won’t need to work on her accent J

Tell us a bit about Perfect Mistake.
Simone Levin had a dream job as a safari pilot until an unexpected pregnancy clipped her wings. Tired of juggling motherhood with her demanding flight schedule, Simone applies for an office job, unaware that her new boss is Carlo Carlevaro, the man who’d ditched her before finding out he’d knocked her up. Carlo returns to East Africa only to kill another fire—Ivory trafficking from his lodges threatens to destroy his company. Finding Simone back on the payroll comes as a pleasant surprise. As his employee, Simone is off-limits, but she is the only one he trusts to help with his undercover investigation. With time running out, Simone and Carlo strive to expose the trafficking ring, but working together rekindles their mutual desire. When Simone is implicated as a trafficker, revealing her daughter’s existence to Carlo seems inevitable. Acting on her instincts might come too late as the syndicate retaliate and hone in their threat. Will they survive to give their love a chance?
How about a sneak peak between the pages of Perfect Mistake?
Simone went to stand next to him. “Why am I here?”
He turned to her. The dark shadows under his eyes were somehow more accentuated in the play of lamplight than in the bright sunshine. “Let’s talk somewhere else.”
“Where do you suggest? The guests are bound to arrive soon and you know we can’t walk around by ourselves after dark.”
“Come to my room.”
She inhaled sharply, her hands clenching into fists. “Is that why I’m here? Do you really think–”
With a soft groan, Carlo curled his fingers around her arm and pulled her onto the deck, away from the other people sitting in the lounge. “To your room then,” he whispered, “although I much prefer mine. And no scenes, if you please.” His hand was a ring of fire around her arm, propelling her to the wooden walkway.
He walked next to her but let go of her arm.
A few steps from her tent she stopped. “I don’t care who hears this. If you think we’re going to carry on where we left off four years ago you are very much mistaken.”
He didn’t blink an eye. “You seem to be singularly one-track-minded, Simone.”
Heat rose to her cheeks; it spread down her chest to her treacherous heart, which pounded at the thought of him. Why was he still able to do this to her? Being alone with him was the worst possible idea.
“Well, if not for that, why march me to my tent as if you would have your way–”
“You may still be devilishly tempting, Simone, but now that I’m your boss you’re completely off limits.”
About the author:
Sophia Karlson has lived in France, Germany, Tanzania, Madagascar (not the movie, the country!) and now finds herself back on home ground in South Africa. As a teenager, she devoured romances with far flung settings, loving to travel through books. After school her itchy feet took her around the world, but now she doesn’t get much further than the school run and the daily walk with her very demanding beagle, Phoebe. She writes contemporary and erotic romance, wanting to take readers on a journey of their own. She loves hearing from readers, follow her on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sophia.karlson.5, Twitter: @SophiaKarlson, on the web at www.sophiakarlson.com.

Interview with Candace Blevins Author of Slave-A Dark(ish) Faerie Tale Series
Pull up a chair, grab a drink of your choice from the cooler, a Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter cookie from the plate, and let’s find out a little about Candace and her A Dark(ish) Faerie Tale Series
Lets start with what inspired this particular story?
I’ve written Queen Mab as a secondary character in other books, and she’s The Evil Queen, The Dark Queen, and The Winter Queen. She legitimately fills all those roles. However, we’ve also seen tiny little glimpses of a human side, and I wanted to explore the dichotomy of who she has to be versus who she truly is.
What do you want your readers to take away from your books?
My first goal is entertainment – reading is my escape, and I want to offer readers a way to dive into an adventure. However, it’s also my hope that they come away from my books understanding something they might not have when they started it, or perhaps even learning something. Food for thought.
Where do your story ideas come from? If they come to you in the middle of the night, do you get up and write them all down?
They occasionally come to me in the middle of the night, or first thing in the morning, but most of the time they come to me while driving. I have a way to quickly turn my phone on to record my thoughts, transcribe them, and email them to me so they’re in my inbox when I get home. It’s all voice commands so I can be safe while I drive.
Why do you write what you write? Contemporary, paranormal, suspense, etc.
Tolkien drew me into his world when I was in middle school. I knew trees sometimes moved their roots at the last second to trip me, and it was like Tolkien and I shared this secret. His ability to draw our real world into the fantasy world and make the reader suspend belief has stuck with me throughout my life. Now, I have readers telling me about the man they saw in the grocery store they’re sure is one of my werewolves, and I’m thrilled I’ve been able to do the same for readers.
Isn’t that fun, I feel the same way.
A sneak peek between the pages of Slave.
Chapter One – Queen Mab
For every season, there are positives and negatives. Today is the summer solstice, and I’m miserable in the heat. Plus, my sister is Queen of Faerie during the summer.
From here on out, the days will grow shorter, and the time of my reign draws nearer. Come the fall equinox, I’ll be the ruling Queen once more, and my days will be filled with the duties of running the queendom.
However, for the time being, I had the luxury of spending all the time I wanted in my dungeons, and I was fully taking advantage of the long days — there are so many people to torture and play with in the bowels of my castle.
I’d acquired the former Eagle King as a result of a horse trade a while back, and was still having great fun with him, but I’d been informed we had a new pleasure slave — paid to me in tribute by a wealthy businessman — and she’d been put into a holding room so I could personally handle her intake process.
Prisoners are fun to punish, but the rare pleasure slave who’s been trained to enjoy torture is a special treat. I’d seen the paperwork on this girl, and based on her previous owners and trainers, I had hopes she might prove a nice diversion.
I was informed she seemed a nervous wreck, so I went to the holding room instead of having her brought to the throne room. I brought another slave with me, one who’d record the new slave’s answers and any notes I wanted put into the girl’s file.
Contrary to what most probably think of the Wicked Winter Queen, I don’t make a habit of abusing my slaves just because I can. I’d whipped this particular stenographer slave once when she was rude to a business associate, and I’d assigned her to dishwashing duty in the kitchens for a month when she zoned off while on the job, but the girl’s been with me nearly fifteen years and those are the only two times she’s been punished.
My first view of the new little pleasure slave sent tingles through my magic. She was a little slip of a thing and strikingly beautiful. Someone had put her into my preferred inspection pose — feet a little wider than shoulder width, perfect posture, eyes straight ahead, fingers laced at the back of her head. She still held it beautifully, and her arms didn’t appear to be shaking.
Some slaves hold their position when I enter, but most prostrate themselves. Neither choice earns reprimand or punishment at this stage, but I was intrigued she’d chosen to follow orders over protocol.
Whether she’d been naked when she arrived or had been stripped to nothing by my guards, I didn’t know. I wasn’t certain of her most recent owner’s slave protocols for travel, but the Master he purchased her from wouldn’t have permitted clothing at any time, nor would her original owner, where she was raised and trained.
I walked in a circle around her, observing. She didn’t break posture. Didn’t move a millimeter, other than to breathe. Her nails were swirled purple and green, her red hair had streaks of gold, and her eyes practically glowed green. I circled her a few more times, and noted her toenails matched her fingernails. I’d need to double-check to be sure the familial searches had been done.
My new slave had enough muscle I knew she’d be able to handle what I doled out, but was soft enough she’d still be fun to play with. I couldn’t wait to see her flawless white ass with streaks of red from a strap, and then dotted with smaller streaks from a flogger. However, she was too thin for my tastes, and I made a mental note to check later to see if this was her natural size, or whether her food intake had been severely restricted.
“What’s your name?”
A deeper breath, so she’d have enough air to speak, but she answered quickly, her eyes still straight ahead without looking at me. “My original owner called me seven-sixty-three, Ma’am. The Master I just came from called me little one.”
Before I slapped the shit out of the girl for her impertinence, I asked, “Do you know who I am?”
“No, Ma’am?”
Her voice wavered and her arms finally shook a little. The poor thing was scared shitless, and I was about to terrify her even more, whether I wanted to or not. I softened my voice and said, “You address me as my Queen or Your Majesty, Little One.”

Tell us a little about My Love at Solace Lake Series, including Truth and Solace.
Well, the series is all about love is worth the risk….
When their grandfather dies, the Lindquist sisters, Harper, Scarlet and Maggie, inherit the northern Minnesota fishing lodge that had been in their family for three generations. The inheritance is bittersweet. They were raised at the lodge by their grandparents. The natural beauty of the place hasn’t changed, but the building itself is crumbling and desperately in need of repair. The lodge also reminds them of what they lost. Twenty-two years previously, their parents died there in what was ruled a murder/suicide.
As the sisters struggle to breathe new life into the failing lodge, old fears and questions rise to the surface even as new love presents itself. Why did their father murder their mother? What truths did their grandparents keep from them? The sisters must fight to keep the wounds of the past from putting their futures, and their fledgling relationships, in jeopardy.
Truth and Solace brings to bear the truth could destroy them. Or set them Free.
Maggie Lindquist left Solace Lake determined never to return. Circumstances have pulled her back and she’s helping to restore her family’s dilapidated fishing lodge. When she agreed to the plan she didn’t expect to have to work side by side with the man who abandoned her ten years earlier. She didn’t expect to like him, or want him ever again. But can she trust him as she once did?
Luke Carlsson rushes home to tend to his ailing mother. Her lengthy illness means he needs to stay, at least temporarily. And to stay, he needs to work. Solace Lake Lodge offers him a job and an opportunity to work with the woman he’s never stopped loving. But the restoration is unleashing secrets hidden for decades and no one is left unscathed. Especially not Maggie and Luke, whose love needs to be resilient enough to forgive, and strong enough to build a future together.

A sneak between the pages of Truth and Solace?
The organist began to play Pachelbel’s Canon in D, signaling the bride’s imminent arrival. All eyes turned to the staircase. Cam’s daughter Tessa led the bridal party. She wore a red lace dress and carried a basket of flowers in one hand.
Following Tessa, Maggie began a slow descent down the stairs, one hand on the railing and the other holding a bouquet of white roses. All the air rushed from Luke’s lungs. Her full length, lace dress in dark red fit her perfectly. The low bodice that skimmed the sweet swell of her breasts nearly undid him. Her dark hair shone in the glow from the fireplace, her smile wide and happy.
When her gaze connected with his, his heart squeezed with unexpected longing. He swallowed, his mouth suddenly dry, his heart hammering. Maggie’s smile faltered. She quickly turned her attention to the men standing in front of the fireplace. She walked toward them, taking her place on the bride’s side, opposite Drew, her smile firmly in place once more. Only the slight trembling of the ribbons cascading from her bouquet hinted at any nervousness.
He was aware that Harper and Scarlet had descended the stairs and now stood with the others in front of the fireplace. He was sure they were both lovely, but he couldn’t take his eyes off Maggie. In her chef’s whites, her face pink with the heat of the stove and her hair dampened with perspiration, she was beautiful. Always had been.
But today, she was stunning. He’d never seen her more exquisite.
The ceremony went by in a blur. Scarlet and Cam exchanged vows and wedding rings, and sealed their union with a lingering kiss. They looked at each other as if they were the only two people in the room. The bond between them, the sense they knew without question they belonged together, and would always be together was profound. No matter what life threw at them, they would endure, as long as they stood side by side.
I want that, Luke realized with a start. He wanted to be with a woman who truly understood him, loved him. Someone to share his dreams, his hopes, his fears. His gaze drifted to Maggie once again. They’d had that once, that special bond, but they’d been far too young to appreciate it. Or at least he had.
When such a bond was broken, could it ever be mended? If Maggie knew the truth…
He pushed the guilt away. Tonight, he wanted to forget.
About the Author:
When Jana Richards read her first romance novel, she immediately knew two things: she had to commit the stories running through her head to paper, and they had to end with a happily ever after. She also knew she’d found what she was meant to do. Since then she’s never met a romance genre she didn’t like. She writes contemporary romance, romantic suspense, and historical romance set in World War Two, in lengths ranging from short story to full length novel. Just for fun, she throws in generous helpings of humor, and the occasional dash of the paranormal. Her paranormal romantic suspense “Seeing Things” was a 2008 EPPIE finalist.
In her life away from writing, Jana is an accountant/admin assistant, a mother to two grown daughters, and a wife to her husband Warren. She enjoys golf, yoga, movies, concerts, travel and reading, not necessarily in that order. She and her husband live in Winnipeg, Canada with their Pug/Terrier cross Lou and several unnamed goldfish. She loves to hear from readers and can be reached through her website at www.janarichards.com.
