RLFblog is now on the powerful Wordpress #RLFblog #authors

2017-05-16T08:16:00.001-04:00

Join us on our powerful new Wordpress site and discover authors and books every day.
https://rlfblog.com

This is the last day of posts on the old Romance Lives Forever blog site.

It's been home since 2009 and a wonderful place to learn about authors and new books. There have been well over 1500 posts and untold number of readers. I look forward to visiting every day.

As of tomorrow, May 17, 2017, the hashtag #RLFblog is moving to its new location https://rlfblog.com on the Wordpress platform. I'd love for you to come over, follow the blog via RSS, email or social media.

The new site allows easier navigation, better interface with social media, and enhanced features on the back end. On Blogspot, if I want to change something about a keyword that's been used on several posts, I must go to each individual post. On Wordpress, I simply go to the list of keywords, change it once and it changes on all the posts at once. There are many other features, best of which is that I own the domain name and I can decide what to host, what to share, and how to share it.

The new site permits a dropdown menu with subheadings. If I want to see what books are in the Military Romance category, I can point to the word Romance at the top, and a dropdown menu shows up. I can then choose Military from the list. But surprise! When I point to Military, it shows a sub-category of its own: SEALs. The same way in Paranormal, where it shows Ghost and Shapeshifter. There's also an enhanced search feature at the top left of each page. Entering a book title or an author name will bring up every mention of it on the site. Come try it out!

Authors - come see the new site

Authors, be sure to sign up on the new site for a spot on the blog. All posts on this site with active books were moved to the new site.

While I'm saying good-bye to Blogspot, it is a fond farewell and a grateful one. This site was home for many years and I honed my blogging chops here. Now, it's time to move onward and upward. Farewell, Blogspot, and thank you.

The new site will have the same social media connections (with enhanced sharing) plus be connected to Triberr and have an even better reach there.

I want to send a shout-out to Dee Owen at Personalized Marketing, Inc. who helped me design and implement the new site. I could not have done this without her. If you need help with a website, blog, or you want expert marketing assistance, don't hesitate to contact her. Do tell her Kayelle Allen sent you. You'll get a nice discount.

Years of separation mean nothing when love is in the air…

Julia Diaz never wanted to fall for her friend's older brother, especially at a college frat party. But, for some reason, her heart was stolen by Russell that night.

Russell Webb used to be optimistic, and fun loving until a family tragedy turned his world on its side. Putting all his focus on work, he picked himself back up, and managed to turn his grief into something resembling a life. When a woman from his past reappears, and gives him a glimpse of true happiness, he’ll do anything to secure her heart. Even face the darkness he has avoided for so long.

When she wasn’t working on the next soul-crushing jab, she sharpened her imagination on romantic literature and day dreamed about her knight in shining armor.

It didn’t take long for this hairdresser by trade to turn her passion for reading romances into writing her own unique love stories. Susan lives her life finding laughter in all situations, and delights in marrying sarcasm with romance to create realistic falling-in-love stories in the unlikeliest of scenarios.

Susan lives on the shores of Lake Huron with her real life knight in shining armor and enjoys watching their three children learn the art of sarcasm and wit.

When Humans Fail Hope - Rana: Teenage Queen #scifi #romance #RLFblog

2017-05-12T07:05:00.000-04:00

Liza shares a bit of history.

Why did humans come to Hope?

Because they not only destroyed Earth but then they ruined the first planet they escaped to, which called originally called Hope (then renamed it Hopeless as it became crammed full of formally rich and totally useless people). Always the optimist, or perhaps, simply lacking creativity, they name this planet Hope as well.

What did the fairies think about them naming their planet Hope?

They couldn't care less. Frankly, naming a planet just seemed silly. But it amused them enough that they would name little rocks silly names like 'Rocky', paint them and give them to each other on the human's silly holiday.

Since when the ship first arrived, the Fairies welcomed them and let them name the planet, the humans assumed they were the new masters. The three to four foot tall fairies, who looked like humans, since their wings were hidden, had happy demeanors and were most helpful finding them nice places to live. Thus, the humans were not frightened by the little people. In fact, due to a serious shortage of human women, the men were most happy to mate with the taller of the little women.

And this is exactly how Rana, our soon to be Teenage Queen came to be. Her father was a human, but her mother was a powerful fairy, and so is Rana. She'll need it for the troubles ahead.

Rana is only sixteen when she becomes queen. Her first challenge is to quell an internal coup while a massive army storms the gates of her castle. Her enemies believe her to be a child, but she has powers they've never suspected. She also has great dreams for her people, and she will do whatever is necessary to make them happen, even marrying a prince she does not want.
