MFRW author Ayla Ruse reveals all about Malathix Soul on Thursday13
Handed a historical romance at young age, Ayla Ruse fell in love with love and with happy endings. Having grown up living life tasting a little of this and a little of that has not changed this attitude, but it’s expanded her views. Love isn’t always happy and it isn’t always the way a person “thinks it should be.” Sometimes it’s outside the box, and it’s always a challenge.
Ayla is a stay-at-home mother who also home schools three rambunctious children. In her (cough) free time, she loves the outdoors, reading, and exploring.
Malathix Soul (Box Set)
Imagine Earth has established interactions with alien life.
There is, of course, protocol to follow. A merchant planet, Malathix, wants to open relations with Earth and sends a ship to make this happen. When the ship enters our atmosphere, however, something goes awry, and the result is that the ship is destroyed and the Malathix are stranded.
This is only a minor issue, though. The bigger problem is that their souls are stripped during the descent resulting in their inner defense mechanisms--literal metal and scary sharp-everything beasts--being left unchecked. The only way to find balance is to locate the women to whom their souls became attached, and to convince each one that they are destined to be mates.
In no particular order, here are
13 of my favorite books.
Of course, I love just about everything I read from the following authors, but these particular stories stay close to my heart.
Cherise Sinclair: Club Shadowlands
James Rollins: Sandstorm
Mary Balogh: Slightly Dangerous
Julia Quinn: When He was Wicked
Thomas Hardy: Tess of the d'Ubervilles
J. K. Rowling: Harry Potter
Selena Kitt: Temptation
Sarah MacLean: No Good Duke Goes Unpunished
Eloisa James: The Taming of the Duke
James Clemens: Shadowfall
Lori Foster: No Limits
Shayla Black: Wicked Ties
Stephen King: The Stand

#MFRWorg Gets DOWN and DIRTY with @AylaRuse over her Fever Hitch
MFRW Author Ayla Ruse gets DOWN and DIRTY while sharing her newest book, Fever Hitch (Earth Con).
Ayla bakes away in the sunny south but dreams of warm fires in a cabin anywhere it might be snowy. Then she could let her muse loose on a writing rampage that would probably result in the loss of limb function! Instead, she sits in front of noisy fans and types in waves while fielding the needs of her family. She loves to hear from readers and you can find her almost anywhere on the web.

Generally, how long does it take to complete a book?
If the story idea has been stewing in my head for a bit, I can knock out a rough draft of a 30K story in about a week. Then comes the edits and revisions which can take another couple of weeks. All in all, about one month.
Do you have a schedule you work by?
I should have a schedule, but nothing's set in stone with me. It drives my family nuts. Typically (as I am NOT a morning person), I write when everyone's gone to bed. When deadline time approaches, I squeeze in writing time in every free moment I have. And, if I'm on a good roll, everything else in my life falls to the wayside while I type.
How do you come up with story ideas?
Everywhere and everything. I get a lot of ideas from songs. A song is basically a very short version of a longer story. Sometimes the refrain or idea of a song will spark something in me and I'll develop a whole tale around the words. Other times it can be something put out there, like a submission call. A publisher may say, ""we want stories that explore this idea."" I'll sleep on it, as the saying goes, and something good will spark and off I'll write.
What are your thoughts on love scenes?
Unless the romance novel is geared toward young adults, I think love scenes are very important to romance stories. I'm not one who is picky over before-marriage/after-marriage; I'm more interested in the developing relationship, period. I've read stories I've enjoyed where the love scenes were behind closed doors. The stories themselves were good, but I always felt it lacked something vital. It's not because I'm a voyeur, but because I believe strongly that intimacy can and does reveal a great deal about the characters and how the love story progresses. There is a vulnerability and openness to trust and deeper emotions during lovemaking. I want to see that part of the relationship. I want to read about how moved the heroine was that she cried and how the hero reacted to this emotion. I want to read about how the heroes dominance carries over in the intimate relationship. Is his heavy-handedness valid and can it make me believe how the heroine can fall so deeply in love with him? These kinds of things, IMO, can only be revealed through lovemaking.
What does your husband think about your writing?
I smile as I write this because it's mixed. Secretly, he's proud of me, but it's not something that he'll ever share. Most of the family in general has no idea what I write--or that I'm published--and he'd rather keep it that way. I mean, it's enough I write romance, but that I write erotic romance? Very few people I know would react kindly to this knowledge.
Do you ever ask him for advice?
Believe it or not, I do. Well, not advice per se, but I will talk about my stories with him as I'm developing them. He'll help me brainstorm and even give ideas if I'm feeling stuck. The other night, in fact, he helped me work through a wall I'd had in a new story I'm writing. He may not ever read my stories, but he knows enough about them to understand when I say, ""the alien one,"" or ""the pirate one.""
Tell us about your latest book
FEVER HITCH (EARTH CON) was created from my publisher's series idea. At it's basic form, we (the interested authors) had to create stories set in a comic book convention with aliens. This discussion started my mind to spinning and my result is FEVER HITCH. As far as genre, it's classified as sci-fi/paranormal romance at Changeling Press.
Felicia Walker loves her job as an illustrator at Fever Hitch Comics. During this year’s annual Earth Con, she will not only draw caricatures, but she’ll also be decked out in body paint to represent the F’ldae -- an alien species from the comics. As she starts off a night exploring the off-limits, alien side of the convention, Felicia is unprepared for the spiraling events that will make her behave like a true F’ldae… in full mating heat.
Agent Slate Reese, along with his best friend Agent Ryker Seals, are Metons who want to settle down, but they’re having a difficult time finding the female to complete their mating trio. With the vast assortment of alien species converging on this area, surely there’s one female who wouldn’t mind spending a night with both of them.

5 stars from Alberta (Manic Readers): ""I loved the characters, the premise, the word pictures, the sex and the excitement of the Con, just everything.""
4 Taps from Daria (We Love Kink): ""it was entertaining bit of sci-fi mixed with erotica. The characters as well as the story was fun.""

Ryker lifted the drink to his lips and took a long swig. “Ah, Tazar beer. Nothing else like it in the universe.”
“You aren’t shittin’ me,” Slate mumbled, sipping modestly of his drink. “Stuff tastes like crap. I don’t see how you stomach it.”
“Acquired taste, my man.”
Slate grunted and set his forearms on the table.
“Do you think we’ll get any hits?” he asked Ry.
Ry shrugged and watched various species interact on the dance floor. “It’s a big convention. We made our rounds, dropped our hints, left our contacts. Now we sit and wait.”
Slate rubbed his huge hands together. “Something feels off.”
“You ever been to a con before?”
Slate shook his head no.
“They always feel off, like the universe is tilted or something. I think it’s because of the huge intermix of species coupled with the fact that we’re in an alternate plane here. Remember, the humans have not accepted other species as a general rule, so our presence is still relatively unknown to the humans next door.”
Slate chuckled. “You’ve always been the analyzer.”
“It’s why you keep me as your partner.”
The men shared a brief chuckle, then Slate spoke up again.
“Remember that walkway over on the human side? It was near the booth for that comic book place.”
“You mean Fever Hitch -- they’re the ones sponsoring this whole thing. But yeah, I remember. Why?”
“Did you see the F’ldae onstage?”
“No. Really? They don’t go out much. That species is frightened of their own skin.”
“Exactly. So why am I seeing the same F’ldae on the dance floor?”
Ry whipped his head around to where Slate was boring a hole through a female. Yes, it was a F’ldae, and Ry couldn’t believe his eyes. The little female was snuggled up next to a Bulzant, and that overgrown plastic looking thing looked to almost swallow the female. She turned bright eyes up to it and said something that made the Bulzant quiver.
“Damn, I never knew that species could move like that,” Ry said, amazed.
“What? The F’ldae?”
“No, the Bulzant.”
“Does it look like she’s okay to you?”
“Who? The F’ldae? Yes. She’s jamming right along --“ Ry cut his words off as his eyes zeroed in on her.
“What?” Slate wanted to know.
Ry chuckled. “Looks like your timid little creature is in heat.”
“What do you mean?”
“Wait until she turns -- there. See the orange markings along her ribcage? When a F’ldae goes into heat, those markings show up.”
Ry shifted back to his drink and noticed Slate hadn’t taken his eyes off the female. Hmm…
On the human side, he’d noticed Slate staring at the walkway but hadn’t thought too much about it. It seemed that F’ldae had caught his eye. And seeing her move on the dance floor just a little bit ago had caught Ry’s eye.
A F’ldae. In heat.
They didn’t have to ask her to be their third in a permanent relationship, but maybe he could sweet talk her into being their third for the night.

An Interview with Adera Orfanelli
Join us today
for an interview with the lovely Adera Orfanelli.
Where can your
readers find you?
Where’s your
favorite place to hang out online?
Changeling Press Reader’s Loop
Tell us about
your latest book, including its genre. Does it cross over to other genres? If
so, what are they?
A Worldly Cage is an erotic science
fiction romance with BDSM elements. In it, a high class escort runs away from
the man she loves because he wants a more permanent, and equal, relationship
between them. When he finds her, she discovers that she has a place in his
world.
What can we
expect from you in the future?
I have a vampire holiday story
coming out from Changeling Press called Drink me Sweetly.
How do we find
out about you and your books?
My website is the best place to
look.
Why did you
decide to write romance novels?
I love writing romance with the
happily ever after. I have fun exploring different times and places, and
different types of characters, yet finding that they’re all the same in that
love conquers all.
Generally, how long does it take you to write a book?
Usually just a couple of weeks since
I write shorter novellas.
Do you have a
set schedule for writing or do you just go with the flow?
I try to write 1000 words a day.
Where do you
start when writing? Research, plotting, outline, or...?
I just start writing the story. I
find it works better than way as I really get into the characters’ heads to
decide what comes next.
What about your
family, do they know not to bother you when you are writing - or are there
constant interruptions?
I generally multi-task, so I am
writing while watching television or doing other things.
What do you do to relax and recharge your batteries?
Reading.

Excerpt
Excerpt
Breezler narrowed
his brows over his pale eyes. “You’re done.”
Ninali stumbled.
She reached for the wall to steady herself. “What?” She sagged her naked body
against the cool metal. Only with his words, did she realize Breezler held a
small bag and a robe.
He tossed the
robe at her. “Put it on. Your contract’s been bought. You’re not mine anymore.”
I never was yours. I just worked for you. She shrugged into the robe, noticing it was a finer weave than
the ones in the dorms. Breezler dropped the bag containing the few belongings
she’d brought with her and kicked it in her direction. She opened her mouth to ask who bought her
contract, but she didn’t need to know. Not after this afternoon’s performance.
She knew exactly who had paid for her. Captain still wanted more than she
should give. Only now she had to pay him for the debts she’d accrued getting
away from him. Figures.
She nodded once,
business-like, then picked up the bag. The door to her left beaconed. It led
down a short hall and into the main room. She hadn’t been there since she’d
come, cowed and broken, when Breezler had bought her debts. She took a deep
breath, nodded, then walked back down the hall, leaving Breezler and the cages
behind.
The hall, little
more than a short pathway punctuated only by the door to Breezler’s office,
opened into the main room. A few chairs, some pillows—she might have been
stepping into some professional waiting room instead of the front room of a
cage-brothel. There, in the corner, filling the room, was her Captain.
Air whooshed from
Ninali’s lungs. Her Captain perused her, from the top of her tousled hair to
her bare feet. She wondered what he might see, if he’d notice that she weighed
less and had dark shadows under her eyes now. Maybe if she’d let him take care
of her, she wouldn’t have those, but if she’d let him take care of her, she
also wouldn’t be the woman she was.
Words ran through
her mind. You found me. Why did you? What
do you want? She kept them inside, not giving him the satisfaction.
Her Captain
walked to her, his long strides taking him to her side in a matter of minutes.
She held out her wrists, expecting to be cuffed, as she had been when Breezler
had bought her debts and pressed into her service.
He shook his head
and held out a slender silver chain.

stories have moved beyond outer space and into the past, and into our modern
day world. Right now, Adera is having fun writing stories her readers will

Book Spotlight ~ Wolf's Bone
Even in the Wild West, there’s nothing
much wilder than a werewolf. Except a dino shifter.
For Ryx, hunting dinosaur bones is more than a
scientific curiosity; it's a way for him to connect with his people's
ancestors. But he isn't the only member of the team with secrets. He knows Eli
isn't really a boy, and she doesn't smell quite human. What he doesn't know is
that Eliza is a werewolf, and her past is about to catch up with them.
