Paging Doctor Wolf!

I find that certain kinds of careers lend themselves to certain types of genres in the romance world.  It’s not unusual to read about a doctor in a category romance but I haven’t seen too many medical doctors running around in the paranormal genre. Oh sure, you can have scientists (doing research that accidently stumbles on the lycans gene?) but your good-looking medical doctor who wants to take care of the sick?  Not so much.

When I sat down to write Paging Doctor Wolf I wanted to have a hero who could be both a werewolf and a doctor.  Dallas didn’t know there were werewolves until he became one. 

What kind of profession do you find really sexy and would like to see more of?  What do you see underrepresented

Werewolf Jack Johnson has always known he wanted a human woman to share his intense emotions. When he signs up for a 1Night Stand date, the same service that found a mate for his sister, he knows the odds are against him finding his own—yet he believes he will.

Gloria Powell has been on the run with her six-year old daughter for years, desperate to escape a deranged ex-husband bent on killing her. Tired of running and never having a normal life, she just wants one night to forget everything.

Can Gloria believe in and accept the protective wolf Madame Eve found for her or has she really given up on believing in fantasies?

Writing The Next Book

by Rebecca Royce

I had written One Night With A Wolf and I was very pleased with how it had turned out.  Truth is, I love writing in worlds not created by me. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I love writing in worlds I create too. World Building is one of my favorite things. But seeing if I can fit my story into someone else’s parameters, for some reason it’s a challenge I love to do.

When the idea came to do a follow up story, Rebirth, using the sister I had written into One Night With A Wolf, I jumped at the idea. 

Who could she be and how could it be similar to One Night With A Wolf without being One Night With A Wolf again?

Well…werewolves would have to be out.  But it still needed to be Paranormal.  So, being me, I immediately thought of vampires.  And Gus was born. 

My editor called Gus tragic and I love that description. I wanted him to be the kind of vampire I remember reading years ago. I used to call them the lamenting vampires.  You know the kind.  Oh woe is me, how can I go 

through the night without you by my side, my love?  I haven’t seen a good, hot lamenter in a long time.

What kind of old-fashioned heroes did you like when you first read romance? Who did you read? What do you miss?

My Big Fat Family Christmas

By Rebecca Royce

As you read this, it is likely that I am sitting in a house in Texas surrounded by family, eating really good food. Sound like heaven? Let’s try again. 

I don’t live in Texas.  I live in New Jersey. So, to get to Texas, I boarded a plane with my husband and our three boys (ages 2, 4, and 6).  The 4 year old and the 6 year old are excellent flyers. The 2 year old? Um…..Not so much. 

After a four hour plane ride,  I arrived in Texas where we rented a car. The children fought with each other the whole way through the airport.  Finally, hours later we arrived at the rental house to find that they didn’t have sheets on the bed.

I’m imagining all of this because as I write this, I am sitting in my home in New Jersey, four weeks away from our trip. Maybe it all went smoothly. Maybe our 2 year old slept the whole way to Texas. 

But, I am not a glass half-full kind of a girl.  I tend to assume all will be hard and exhausting.  In this way, I am like my heroine, Bethany, in I’ll Be Mated For Christmas.

She does not look forward to the holidays. She assumes they will be hard and rough, as they were when she was one of the only humans in a pack of werewolves. In fact, it has taken her many years to get over her childhood, to recreate a life for herself elsewhere.  Her one night stand is a reward for getting to where she needed to be emotionally.

But Luke, the new Alpha of the pack she grew up in has other plans. She is his mate.  She can’t turn her back on werewolves. Not when she’s meant to be his. 

What do you think? Like Bethy will I be surprised this Christmas? Or should I prepare myself for a trip into the abyss and back again?

One Night With A Wolf

By Rebecca Royce

When I first heard about the 1NS series that was being published by Decadent Publishing, I was absolutely transfixed with the idea of writing in this world.  Who was Madame Evangeline and who were the people that she would help find true love by giving them one night together? 

My muse loves the paranormal and so my creative juices began to flow.  I could picture Joseph very clearly. He’d come to New York City and he sat, waiting for someone at the restaurant called The View in the Marriott Marquis Hotel.  I’ve been to the View many times.  Ten years ago, I brought my husband there on his first visit to NYC with me.  He’s from the southern part of the United States.  He didn’t enjoy the experience as much as I had hoped, starting with the cost of drinks at the bar.  

But that is where Joe and my husband part ways.  The hero in this INS story is hiding a secret that he thinks will keep him alone for the rest of his life.  But is that true? Can one night with the right person change your life? I thought it could and so One Night With A Wolf was born.  

Joseph Penn is a Werewolf who has come to New York City to celebrate his sister’s birthday. Having been turned against his will years earlier in a violent attack, he spends as little time as possible away from his secluded home. Sitting in the bar, waiting for his sister, he’s shocked when he receives an unexpected text from his old friend, Madame Evangeline, the owner of the exclusive dating service, 1Night Stand, telling him he’s being set up with a woman in that very bar.

Kaylee Post has lost her boyfriend, her job, and her self-confidence. Intending to celebrate her friend’s birthday at the Manhattan restaurant, she never expects instead to have a one-night stand with a wolf who will change her life in ways she can’t yet imagine.

I hope you enjoy my take on the 1NS series.  I can’t wait to keep reading this fantastic series and to write another one!

Best

RR
