Speaking of Hot..

…which is a great way to segue into my questions for the night”¦ 

You started writing romances because someone thought men couldn’t write them.  Let me say you’ve more than lived up to the challenge!  But, I’d like to ask, is it easier for you”“a man-to write in the hero or the heroine’s POV?  Or does it matter? Why or why not? 

I don’t feel any difference in the difficulty myself, but I wonder how much that is due to the character of my women. They are all assertive leaders who know how to get things done and things will get done. Also I read a lot, study relationship guides, listen a lot to women and have watched tv chat shows and other non-fictional tv where women interact. A lot of this helps me to write my females characters, at least outwardly, to act like women. I know there are differences between male and female communication though. In one book that both my wife and I read she could pick out the feminine nuances that told a subtle understory. At one point where the heroine, who was a willing hostage in a rich man’s house says. “I couldn’t love him.” I didn’t catch the nuance where the heroine was actually trying to deny the fact that she did love him, whereas all the women of my acquaintance caught it first time around.
I’m sure the same goes for men talk too, but I have no idea what the nuances are. Overall I like to think I do fairly well though. I’ve had several readers tell me a write like a woman. So that has to say something for all that research. 

 

I’ve stated before that the reason I stopped reading hard (heh heh) SF and Fantasy was that the relationships in them left me frustrated.(yes,I mean PO’D) You seemed to agree, saying that they didn’t aim at a satisfactory end.  While I don’t need HEA, I’d like for some sort of resolution that doesn’t include spacing or phazing the hero’s girlfriend because she ultimately betrays him to the ‘forces of evil’.  

Do you try to have at least a satisfactory ending/resolution”“ if a series”“or a HEA”“in a stand alone”“ in each of your stories? 

Romance, as I understand the official definition, requires the story to have an HEA. Personally, I like to write my stories with a distinct ending simply because it’s more satisfying to me. I don’t “hate” SF stories where there isn’t any end but I’m not totally satisfied with them. It appears to be, almost, one of the SF tropes. I think the underlying belief is that the end is merely the beginning of the next adventure. I do have this, to some degree, in the PIACT series. Each novel is a standalone adventure, the hero and heroine face the dangers, define their relationship and, although they don’t always get married, they make a decision to remain together by the end of the book. What I love about the PIACT undercover agent series is the secondary story. If you can read the series in order you’ll find the battle between the Separatists and the Federation starts in book one and ends in book five, and there is a minor love story that runs through books two to four, culminating in the two characters having their own tale told in book five. Each book reveals more of their developing affections, and the frustrations caused by the very nature of their opposing political loyalties, which keeps them apart. Having two love stories running through the series has made it, for me, very interesting. The reviewers as a whole seem to like it too. LOL 

 

What comes to you first, the plot or the characters? 

I guess the plot for me. Except for my character Valencius who’s still in the WIP stage. Poor guy was turned into a vampire as he was being embalmed and ended up being dependant on drinking embalming fluid instead of blood, (I love bucking the tropes, LOL). I generally get an idea, then sit down and work it into a scene (which could occur anywhere in the book.) After that I then fit the scene into a novel length story. Simple LOL

 

Do you have a favorite book or series of yours?  

My favorite book that I’m writing isn’t a romance at all. Lol it’s a really cute comedy SF. The PIACT undercover agent series is my only one in print and I hold a certain fondness for that simply because it is the first published and a symbol of success, if you like. 

 

Agent Double D makes me laugh so hard I hurt because I always find myself thinking the same sort of what ifs about werewolves, mermen and vampires, etc.  However, if you could be one of these supernatural/paranormal creatures, which would it be? Why? 

From the non-romance point of view they all have pretty sucky lives, particularly the vampire. LOL. Overall though, if you take standard romantic tropes the paranormals that seem to do best are vampires and ultra cool weres like panthers. After all, vamps always get the most attractive women, and all they have to do is bite them. You have no idea how many women have told me to do that”¦

5 Elements of a Scene: #5 a Closing Hook by Kayelle Allen

We've been discussing the elements of a scene. In fiction, a scene is where action occurs (scene of the crime), or an incident takes place (a seduction, an argument, a beginning conflict), etc.

Good scenes consist of five things. An opening hook, a complication, a discovery, a response, and a closing hook.
We've discussed the first four here:
#1 Opening Hook https://coffeetimeromance.com/advice-for-authors-by-kayelle-allen/

#2 Turning Point https://coffeetimeromance.com/5-elements-of-a-scene-2-the-turning-point-by-kayelle-allen/

#3 Discovery https://coffeetimeromance.com/5-elements-of-a-scene-3-revelations-by-kayelle-allen/

#4 Reaction https://coffeetimeromance.com/5-elements-of-a-scene-4-a-reaction-by-kayelle-allen/

#5 Closing Hook

Now let's get to the final element, the closing "hook" that will propel the reader to the next scene (or book).
Closing Hook
How do you decide on a closing hook with punch? A solid closing hook will end with a decision, however unlikely at the beginning. In fact, your closing will reflect the opening in some way.

What is your protagonist's inner conflict? How has that been shaken—or evolved? What elements of the scene or story made their conflict worse? Is there something in the situation that you can tie to their reaction to create a question?

In fact, learning to end on that moment of surprise or indecision is key to the hook. Less is more.

Example 1 – a man and a woman argue. Which hook is stronger?

He stalked off into the night.

She followed him.

OR

He stalked off into the night.

The second ending is the better hook. Why? Because we don't know her reaction. Also, we don't know where he is going, why, or what he is going to do. But we want to know.

Example 2 – A character is running.

He fled down the alley, dashed around the corner and slipped into the darkness.

Hopefully, they wouldn't find him.

OR

He fled down the alley, dashed around the corner and slipped into the darkness.

The second ending is better. Why? Even if we already know who or what is following him, we don't know how it ends up. We can infer how he feels from the verbs in the sentence:...

Hi Everyone!

I hope you're having a wonderful holiday season! Have you watched any holiday movies you love? I'm obsessed with The Holiday so will definitely be doing a rewatch of that!

In the meantime, I've been hard at work on the Wolves of Crescent Creek books and I am IN LOVE!!! I also just got the covers back for the series and I just have to say...PREPARE YOURSELVES! I am so obsessed with them and hoping to show you in the new year with fun updates on that front!

For now, I've got an audio sale and a super fun giveaway for you!!

 

I’d always wondered what it would be like to have a family. I just never expected to find it with five mysterious strangers who have more secrets than I could ever imagine.

Getting a scholarship to Evergreen University and majoring in premed means I need to keep my head down and focus on my studies. But campus is full of distractions…

The football god with his golden retriever charm. The tortured one with his vicious tongue. The broken boy with his determined protectiveness. The merciless billionaire with a penchant for spoiling me. And the genius professor with his brilliant mind.

They make me feel like I belong for the first time since my parents were murdered. And when they touch me, my whole world sparks to flame.

But they have enemies. Those who would give anything to harm what they hold dear. And while they’ll do whatever it takes to keep me safe, sometimes falling in love will put you right in the line of fire…

St. Nicked by Damon SuedeSt. Nicked: There's no gift like the present.

Holidays this fun can’t be legal. When a cat burglar dressed as Santa targets a glitzy Manhattan high-rise, the holidays get unhinged.

As superintendent, Mark Almeida needs to keep the residents safe, and as a former NYPD cop, he knows he can crack the case without any help… until he meets a suave stranger too handsome for his own good who pushes buttons Mark didn’t know he had.

As the holly-jolly crime spree unfolds, Mark wrestles with duty and desire while juggling festive clues, lavish gifts, and stolen kisses in time for a truly crooked Christmas.

St. Nicked, the newest contemporary romance from Damon Suede, combines the tension of a mystery with feel-good romance in a way only Damon can deliver.

Purchase Link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D9HGW7GC/

Meet the Author

Damon Suede… between soft and rough

Damon Suede grew up out-n-proud deep in the anus of right-wing America, and escaped as soon as it was legal. He has lived all over: Houston, New York, London, Prague. Along the way, he’s earned his crust as a model, a messenger, a promoter, a programmer, a sculptor, a singer, a stripper, a bookkeeper, a bartender, a techie, a teacher, a director... but writing has ever been his bread and butter. He has been happily partnered for over a decade with the most loving, handsome, shrewd, hilarious, noble man to walk this planet.

Addictions: sweetness that isn’t sentimental, wit that isn’t bitter, strength that isn’t cruel. Allergies: professional victims, half-assery, clichés.

Beyond romance fiction, Damon has been writing for print, stage, and screen for over three decades, which is both more and less glamorous than you might imagine. He's won some awards, but his blessings are more numerous: his amazing friends, his demented family, his beautiful husband, his loyal fans, and his silly, stern, seductive Muse who keeps whispering in his ear, year after year.

Damon would love to hear from you... you can get in touch with him here or at any of the following social media hubs:

 	Facebook
 	Twitter
 	Goodreads
 	Amazon
 	Bookbub

And if you'd like spam-free updates about his work ...

The Ramseys by Amber Daulton - in Time Complete Box Set NOW AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER!

The Ramseys in Time box set features spunky heroines, brooding heroes, and a trip through time. Each of the two novellas included have a 50k word count, making this box set top off at 100k.

In Timeless Honor, Jaye Ramsey goes on vacation with her friends to Bolivia in order to prove to her eccentric grandmother that time travel doesn't exist. There she finds a time portal in the Salar de Uyuni (the salt flats) and winds up in Georgian England. Never did she expect to fall in love with a man from her grandmother's past, Lord Lucas Kenway, who was accused of murdering his wife on their wedding night.

In Timeless Beginnings, Leonora Harris flees her newly wedded husband's home and loses her way in the woods. After she falls through a portal, she wakes up in 1960s Bolivia. Luckily for her, she meets undercover CIA agent Rodger Ramsey and embraces her new life as a modern woman.

Even though these novellas are standalones, it's best to read them together, in any order, because you'll be able to fully immerse yourself in this fictional world of magic portals, culture shock, and happily ever afters. And besides, who can get enough of time travel romance? Not me, that's for sure.

For the first time ever, the Ramsey in Time Complete Box Set is now AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER.

Down at the Shore by Karen Cino

An Author’s Twelve Days of Christmas

With the holiday season upon us, it is our time to reflect on the year gone by and start getting together a list of resolutions for the New Year. This is one of my comic relief poems. I refer to it as my quick pick-me-upper when my muse comes to a halt. This is my version of The Twelve Days of Christmas.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my friends gave to me:

 	Twelve hours of nonstop writing,
 Eleven great plots ideas with a twist,
 Ten true to life characters,
 Nine boxes of tissues,
 Eight books on writing,
 Seven sites on marketing,
 Six unique promo tips,
 Five colored highlighters,
 Four packages of post it notes,
 Three colorful loose-leaf binders,
 Two boxes of colorful paperclips,
 And a bottle of Procesecco to stimulate my mind.

To all my writer friends and readers I'd like to wish you all a happy and healthy holiday season full of love and happiness! I'm sharing with you my Christmas tree and decorations.

If you stop by and leave a comment, you will be put in a drawing to receive an ebook of your choice: Roses or Seaside Reboot (Jersey Route 35 Cozy Mystery). All you need to do is tell me your favorite Christmas/Holiday treat and/or what you want Santa to bring! Good luck!
Down at the Shore
Brooke Dascoli is in a relationship that’s going nowhere. She moves into the beach house her grandmother left her at the Jersey Shore and forms a friendship with her neighbors, Flo Meadows and Jane Cummings. Flo carries around a huge secret that has haunted her since her first marriage and Jane is having a hard time dealing with a cheating husband who died shortly after their divorce. Together each woman shares their past indiscretions and future dreams, while dealing with loss, renewal and starting over.

My Fake Italian Marriage by Romy Sommer
Escape to Italy for a summer romance
As the nights draw in and winter approaches, you may be indulging in hot cocoa, woolly sweaters, and Hallmark holiday movies...or you might be indulging in dreams of summery destinations and strappy sundresses. I'm definitely in the latter camp. I don't do well with the cold, so I hibernate all winter, warming myself up by escaping to warmer climes in the pages of books. One of my favorite destinations, no matter the season, is Italy - the home of pizza, pasta, gelato, and amazing wines. (And yes, I am a tad obsessed with the taste of Italy!)

Enjoy your own escape to Italy with "My Fake Italian Marriage," a romance filled with sunshine, mouth-watering food and wine, and (of course!) a heart-warming fake marriage romance.

In the words of The Unrepentant Bookaholic: "Set in the beautiful Tuscan hills and vineyards, this story was delightful, sweetly steamy, and still romantic. Sworn off men after two failed relationships, Cleo is sent to Luca's family vineyard to protect her company's investment. Sparks fly, and a reluctant partnership is formed to keep the failing business alive. Fabulous!"
