New Release: Vow of Vengeance by Shanna Handel


 

Vow of Vengeance: Dark Mafia Age Gap Romance


The mafia don demands his vengeance, and I'm the one he wants.  
A massive stranger enters my room, throwing my boyfriend out a window.
Powerful and dangerous with dark hair, dark eyes, and a jaw set like stone. 
He tells me I'm coming with him, and when I disobey...
He takes me over his knee and spanks me most shamefully.
He's way older than me, and his controlling, dominant ways terrify me.
I'm a virgin, totally naΓ―ve, with no clue about sex, submission, or his mafia rules.
Yet his punishments make me so wet, leaving me craving more of him.
 
Do I follow my desire and marry him, becoming his young wife till death do us part?

Can you tell us a bit about you and how you got into writing? 

I stumbled into writing one year when I had a 1.5 hour carpool duty (each way!) and got bored and wrote a book in my head. Typed it out, sent it to a niche publisher and was blown away when they published it!

Did you always know you wanted to be an author?

Noooo. I hated writing and would wait till the last minute to finish any English assignments. Also, I can NOT spell. 

If you could have dinner with any character from your book, who would you choose?

DUH. Harrison Bachman,aka Haze, aka the hot, broody MC from my newest book, Vow of Vengeance. I'm always most in love with the character I'm currently writing. (Coming out SUNDAY!)

Do you have any specific writing rituals?

Yes. If I'm getting close to finishing a book, I will not change out of my pjs or shower for like three days. Not. Even. Kidding. I don't know if it's like a baseball thing where they don't wash their socks if they got a homerun in them, but it's pretty gross and the shower I take when I type THE END is the BEST EVER.

Can you give us a hint about any current or future projects you’re excited about?

OH, I'm OBSESSED with my new MC. He's so filterless it's wild. You're going to love him. Also, I love to have a cheesy element in my books, (that's just who I am) so Haze's brother, the new MC, is named... Blaze. bawhawhawhaw

Friday Feature: Michelle Romano


 Michelle Romano is a passionate writer who finds inspiration in the beauty of nature and the depths of her soul.

Residing in Minnesota with her soulmate, she is a devoted Christian, who leads a life guided by faith and love.

Michelle is a dedicated advocate for children, embodying the values of compassion and empathy in her work.

Alongside her commitment to helping others, Michelle has a heart for fostering rescue dogs, spreading kindness and healing wherever she goes.

In her first romance novel "Finding Faith," Michelle creates worlds where hearts mend and souls find their way, drawing from her eclectic life experiences. Michelle's writing is a reflection of her compassionate journey, where inspirational narratives touch the hearts of readers.

"Theo's Heart," Michelle’s latest inspirational short story, is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and hope, reflecting the profound truths that resonate with the human spirit through a soul-stirring journey that lingers long after the final page.

Please welcome Michelle Romano!


Can you tell us a bit about you and how you got into writing? 

I'm Michelle from Minnesota. I am in my early fifties, and I live with my soulmate, Lawrence. We love traveling, playing badminton and fostering rescue dogs. I started writing when I was in elementary school. Back then I kept journals, was in the school newspaper club and wrote kids books that I entered into our State Fair (and won prizes). I've always loved to write, and I feel I'm a strong writer. 

Did you always know you wanted to be an author?

I have a full-time job, so I'm an author on the side. If one day my books got really popular, I'd love to be a full-time author. I never thought I'd ever publish a book when I was younger, but I'm glad I did!

If you could have dinner with any character from your book, who would you choose?

Oh my, that's a great question. I would love to have dinner with Michael from my contemporary romance novel "Finding Faith." He's a fireman in that story, and I have a thing for firemen.  - Also, I'd love to meet Matteo in "Theo's Heart" - because he knows way more than Mari (other main character) about the afterlife, and I think that conversation would be intriguing. 

Do you have any specific writing rituals?

I love writing at home or at Caribou Coffee even though I don't drink coffee. :) I also love getting a lot of feedback on my books before publishing them. 

Can you give us a hint about any current or future projects you’re excited about?

I'm writing a novella titled, "Heaven Sent." It's about a friendship between two women thirty years apart, and a mysterious man. I hope to have it published this year.
