In any type of story and in any type of situation, I want my heroes to react with integrity when they’re challenged to do the right thing. Even if he starts out as the most self-centered, self-serving creep on the planet, I want it to be their first gut reaction to be to step up and run into the face of danger. Bold fearlessness goes a long way with me.
Do you prefer strong women for heroines, or the ‘damsel in distress’ type?
You know, my first reaction to this question was “Ugh. Damsels.” And then I stopped to think about my stories and realize I write them quite a bit. I got a kick out of writing Bree in Cupid’s Choice because she’s sort of a reluctant damsel. She’s extremely independent for the most part—until she finds herself in a situation where she needs to be rescued, that is. And it was too much fun that she wasn’t especially thrilled about the hero on hand at the time.
Do you have anything in common with your characters?
I sneak a little something of myself into my characters here and there. I’m sure most writers do. Slipping in a belief here or a principle there not only adds another facet to the character, but it helps me, the writer, connect with them in a personal way. Especially if one of my characters has a vastly different personality from mine, which most of them do.
Having superficial things in common with them helps as well. Rachel from Key Party used to be a massage therapist on a cruise ship—when I was a massage therapist years ago I toyed with the idea of working on a cruise ship once my kids were grown and out of the house. ALL of my characters drink coffee—I can’t live without the stuff.
What item, or items, is absolutely necessary to your writing mojo?
I have a drawing of a hand with a finger pointing—think Uncle Sam and “I want YOU!”—that’s pinned to the corkboard above my desk. One of the writers in my Saturday morning group always points her finger at all of us when it’s time to stop chatting and start working. That drawing reminds me to get my butt in my chair and write, no excuses.
I also have a framed quote from Dita Von Teese that says “You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there’s still going to be somebody who hates peaches” that helps me keep things in perspective.
What’s the strangest (neatest, coolest, etc) thing you’ve ever done?
Back when my oldest was just a baby my husband and I stayed with friends at a cabin they had on a small lake up in Canada. We had to take a boat from a dock to the cabin itself. It had no running water or electricity and the outhouse was something out of a bad dream. (Seriously. The spiders that lived on the ceiling were the size of plums, I swear.) We ate fresh fish cooked on an open fire every night and bathed in the lake, and one night we got to see the Northern Lights, which were both eerie and spectacular. It was the most amazing vacation I’ve ever been on.
What are you currently working on, or what’s on the horizon?
I’m currently working on a short story to tie up one last loose end in the Mischievous Matchmaker series. I kind of left someone hanging, and I tried to tie his story up at the end of Luck of the Draw, I really did, but then someone twisted my arm and I *had* to write this last book. (Just kidding. She said she “would like to read” so-and-so’s story and I caved. I’m so easy.)
After that’s finished I’ll be getting back the series that has spun off last year’s Ink Lust.
Wanting to repay the favor she did for them, Petra’s friends throw her a key party to help her move on from a months-old heartbreak. While she is not interested in falling in love again, getting her stunted sex life back on track doesn’t sound like a bad idea.
Except someone sabotages the key drawing before she gets her turn. Instead of spending the night with the ultra-hot doc her friends intended to “accidentally” set her up with, she winds up drawing her good friend Alex’s keys instead.
A night with Alex is coveted among players. Petra quickly finds out the reality of Alex far exceeds his legendary reputation. The moment they kiss they discover a chemistry so combustible it’s positively nuclear. Instantly engulfed in a red-hot haze of passion, neither of them sees it coming when Petra’s ex returns, repentant and threatening to ruin their newfound happiness.

When Jayne Kingston was growing up she spent many hours daydreaming about a time when she could flee the too-small town in Ohio where she grew up and run laughing for the sunny West Coast. Of course she stuck around and raised her family in that small town instead, and doesn’t regret it for a moment. Now she spends her days dreaming about the delicious fun two people can have while falling in love.Find Me Here Links:

Jayne Kingston Interview
In your opinion, what makes a great hero?In any type of story and in any type of situation, I want my heroes to react with integrity when they’re challenged to do the right thing.

EXCERPT:
"I'm telling you, man, this is a mistake," Steven
said.
Brett glanced at his brother, annoyed. "Mom said the
same thing to me earlier." The wedding was scheduled to start in less than
twenty minutes, and he was going to take his place at the altar to wait for his
bride. Once he took his spot, he looked out at the seated guests.
Steven put his hand on Brett's shoulder. "We all know
the woman you should be marrying is sitting out there," Steven nodded,
"fourth pew back."
Brett's gaze landed on Amy, who was talking to his mom. Amy
looked gorgeous, as usual. She said something to his mom, and then laughed. The
sight of her smiling face made him smile, until he realized that he wouldn't
get to see her like that very often anymore. "Amy and I are just
friends."
Steven laughed. "Stop wearing your ass as a hat and
open your eyes. Amy King has never been just your friend."
"That's real nice, Steven." Brett sighed and shook
his head. Marrying Vanessa wasn't a mistake. It wasn't. And Amy was just his
friend. He was doing the right thing by marrying Vanessa. Wasn't he?
"I'm your brother. I don't want to see you make a
mistake."
"Exactly. You're my brother, which means you should
support my decision. I love Vanessa. I'm going to marry her."
Steven shrugged. "If you say so."
Brett turned and glared at him. "And you decided to
have this conversation with me now? Ten minutes before Vanessa will be walking
down that aisle. Nice timing." He went to run his hand through his hair,
but stopped, not wanting to mess it up. Vanessa hated when his hair was messy.
She said it made him look sloppy, as though he didn't care. Amy never seemed to
mind though. In fact, she laughed at him every time he messed up his hair. He
sighed and turned back around to look out over the pews. His gaze once again
wandered to Amy.
"It's not like you've been around much. It’s been kind
of hard to talk to you," Steven muttered.
He was right. Brett had been occupied with Vanessa and
pulling the wedding together in such a short amount of time. "I know.
Sorry."
They were silent for a few moments before Steven leaned
close to Brett's ear and whispered, "It's not too late, Brett. You can
still call this off."

Dominick is a technowizard used to living his life his way. When he arrives at a business meeting and senses his mate, he’s intrigued. When she slams walls up around herself and refuses to even look at him, he goes on the prowl. He uses her sex phone business to get her attention, but can he keep her on the line long enough to capture her heart?

Moving his hands up under the dress was a taste of delicious torture. He could feel her smooth skin under his palms, feel her heat, but could only imagine what she looked like. Were her legs long enough to wrap around his waist if he hoisted her against the wall? Would they look pale against his tanned skin? Did she have any freckles on her ivory skin, or was it creamy and unblemished? He groaned, his imagination fueling his thoughts, feeding his desire to unwrap her like a present. He wanted to push the fabric off her legs and catch a glimpse of the prize he was after, but the longer he waited the better it would be.
He watched her face as he stroked both hands up along her legs. He stopped at her knees and skimmed his palms back down to her ankles, lightly running his fingers over her skin. He grinned as she shivered under his ministrations. He did the circuit again, up slowly along the outside of her calf then back down to her ankles. The feel of goose bumps under his touch made him want to shout in triumph. She was reacting to the session even if she didn’t want to.

About Lea Barrymire
Lea lives in Western New York with her hubby, three children, and miscellaneous critters. Before the rugrats, she lived a life of adventure, following her husband all over Europe with the US military. She’s slept in a car outside Paris, drove six hours just to see tulips in the Netherlands, and knocked ash from her shoes at Pompeii. Now she spends her time in life’s adventures at soccer games, PTA meetings and school plays.
Lea has loved reading from a very young age, spending many sleepless nights devouring books. Science fiction and paranormal were her favorite genres to read as a teenager, and that love bled into her adult life. She started writing during a bout of insomnia, to fill time, and found it filled a creative void. Now she communes regularly with the characters in her head and tries not to laugh out loud when they say something funny.
When Lea isn’t reading, writing or corralling kids, she enjoys watching movies and sciencey shows, or just kicking back and listening to some music.

Excerpt:
Dominick knew the moment that she started feeding off his energy. The magical pull was slight but still there in the back of his mind. He couldn’t stop from smiling when her face finally relaxed and a beautifully peaceful look descended. She’d been distant and cool when first materializing in his mind. Now that he was feeding her, he could feel her loosening up, releasing some of the control she had on their session and her mind.Moving his hands up under the dress was a taste of delicious torture.

The only bright spot is Ryanne’s blossoming friendship with boarder CJ Richter. Ryanne senses that CJ just might be her soul mate, but the handsome excavator is somewhat of a standoffish loner.
After an unthinkable event, Ryanne’s life spins out of control, and she must deal not only with her grasping, selfish sister, but also a manipulative, wannabe suitor. CJ offers Ryanne a way out, but at what price? Beware: Everyone has secrets in Mount Pleasant…And they enjoy them!
Drama, romance, mystery, and murder, all centered around a little town. THE GOOD SISTER is an outstanding debut novel from Amielise Gable. Ms. Gable presents the reader with a unique love story with a cast of endearing yet almost misfits, who each have their own foibles as well as qualities that make them dear to the reader’s heart.
5 Stars TOP PICK Night Owl Romance
“I’m looking for Miss Myers,” he informed her.
She detected an ever so slight trace of an indefinable accent in his deep voice. “That’s me. You must be from the excavation team.”
“I’m the owner. My name is CJ Richter.”
She noticed how large his hand was when she shook it and how he towered over her. “Come on in. I guess you’re going to be my boarder for the next few months.”
“Well, Miss, it will be just for the minimum amount of time it takes to finish the job.”
He was just as anxious to leave as she was to get back to London and away from this mess. Good, she thought. Maybe that means he’ll finish the job ahead of schedule.
“Would you like a cup of coffee…ah…CJ?”
“That would be great, Miss.”
He followed her into the kitchen and she took his jacket and hung it over the back of a chair, but he waited until she offered him a seat before he sat. As she turned to place a steaming mug of black coffee in front of him, she caught her breath. He had removed his sunglasses. Not only were his eyes green, but ethereal. She had never seen anyone with eyes like his. They were spellbinding, and she wondered, if she looked long enough into his unique eyes, could they hypnotize her?
Quickly, she recovered and turned her attention back to the coffee before he noticed her stare. Or had he already noticed?

Now she must oversee the closing of her mother’s affairs.The only bright spot is Ryanne’s blossoming friendship with boarder CJ Richter. Ryanne senses that CJ just might be her soul mate, but the handsome excavator is somewhat of a standoffish loner.
After an unthinkable event, Ryanne’s life spins out of control, and she must deal not only with her grasping, selfish sister, but also a manipulative, wannabe suitor. CJ offers Ryanne a way out, but at what price? Beware: Everyone has secrets in Mount Pleasant…And they enjoy them!

Excerpt:
Opening the front door, she found herself standing across from the stranger, who wore a black knit cap pulled down low on his forehead. His eyes hidden behind mirrored sunglasses, and his body shrouded by a heavy black jacket.
“I’m looking for Miss Myers,” he informed her.
She detected an ever so slight trace of an indefinable accent in his deep voice. “That’s me. You must be from the excavation team.”
“I’m the owner. My name is CJ Richter.”
She noticed how large his hand was when she shook it and how he towered over her. “Come on in. I guess you’re going to be my boarder for the next few months.”
“Well, Miss, it will be just for the minimum amount of time it takes to finish the job.”
He was just as anxious to leave as she was to get back to London and away from this mess. Good, she thought. Maybe that means he’ll finish the job ahead of schedule.
“Would you like a cup of coffee…ah…CJ?”
“That would be great, Miss.”
He followed her into the kitchen and she took his jacket and hung it over the back of a chair, but he waited until she offered him a seat before he sat. As she turned to place a steaming mug of black coffee in front of him, she caught her breath. He had removed his sunglasses. Not only were his eyes green, but ethereal. She had never seen anyone with eyes like his. They were spellbinding, and she wondered, if she looked long enough into his unique eyes, could they hypnotize her?
Quickly, she recovered and turned her attention back to the coffee before he noticed her stare. Or had he already noticed?

EXCERPT
From Back to Nature
We make the short drive to the lake and park the car. Dmitri takes my hand as we stroll around the perimeter.
He soon pulls me out onto one of many scenic points overlooking the lake, and places me in front of him so we’re both facing the pristine, peaceful view. His erection nestles into my bottom as his hands steal underneath my shirt, kneading my breasts. Dmitri pulls the shirt up to expose me and I dart a quick glance around, wondering if the hikers at the other overlooks around the lake can see me. I lean my head back on his shoulder like I know he wants me to as he pinches and tweaks my nipples.
Turning me around, he grabs me and lifts me to his pelvis briefly before setting me back on my feet. He leans down and re-wets the front of my shirt as he sucks on my nipples again. I moan, grabbing Dmitri’s head. A twig snaps and I look around him to see another couple about fifty feet away. They avert their eyes and walk past the overlook. As the exhibitionist in me comes alive, I grin and Dmitri’s head moves to my other breast.
