As a teenager, Rebecca Royce would hide in her room to read her favorite romance novels when she was supposed to be doing her homework. She hopes, these days, that her parents think it was well worth it.
Rebecca is the mother of three adorable boys and is fortunate to be married to her best friend. They live in northern New Jersey and try not to freeze too badly during the winter months.
She's in love with science fiction, fantasy, and the pararnormal and tries to use all of these elements in her writing. She's been told she's a little bloodthirsty so she hopes that when you read her work you'll enjoy the action packed ride that always ends in romance. Rebecca loves to write series because she loves to see characters develop over time and it always makes her happy to see her favorite characters make guest appearances in other books.
In Rebecca Royce's world anything is possible, anything can happen, and you should suspect that it will.

Tell us all about this new world you've created and if we'll be seeing it again in future books.
Hope the new book is a huge success for you! Enjoy your party!
I have to say that I have not read many books by Mer folk. This one sounds really good. I love a good paranormal and would love to win a copy of this book. Is this book part of a series? Are there any authors who are auto buys for you?

Thank you so much for having me here today!!
ReplyDelete@June--Yes, Nalini Singh, Christine Feehan, Laurann Dohner, and a whole lot more.
Sounds great, as soon as I saw the title I was intrigued.
ReplyDeleteOoh, sounds like a great premise, Rebecca! What inspired you to try a mer story?

Hi Rebecca!
ReplyDeleteSounds like such a wonderful story. You seem to be dodging the question of whether this book will have follow ups (I'm hoping the answer is yes).
Wait, that isn't my question. Do you have a favorite movie featuring mermaids/mermen?
Congrats on your release! It looks and sounds like a great read! Who are some of your favorite authors?

@Kate--Thanks so much for coming by!
ReplyDelete@FLChen --I'm not exactly sure but I think it started when I booked a cruise vacation for my family. My muse suddenly became interested in sea creatures
@Emily--Maybe there will be more. Its always a possibility with me and it depends on the level of interest in the book. I could happily write more of this world. And I love Splash with Tom Hanks. One of my favorite movies. Thank you for coming by!
@Shadow--Thank you for coming by. I love a lot of authors. Right now I'm reading MelJean Brooke who is a favorite of mine. And Ciar Cullen.
I already have a copy of Return to the Sea, but I just wanted to stop by and say congrats to Rebecca. All the best!
ReplyDelete@Jessica--Thank you!!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new release.I have not read any mer-people stories before and this one sounds like a good place to start.

I haven't had much luck finding mermaid stories that I really like. This one sounds promising. Ok, pimp your story (please). Why would I love this story? The blurb has me very intrigued!

Congrats on the new release, Rebecca! It sounds like another exciting read.
ReplyDelete@Elaine-I write every day but sometimes its with the tv or music or downstairs or upstairs or out. No real ritual. Its whatever I need that day.
ReplyDelete@Jen--The story begins in the middle of a story. Things have gone terribly awry and our heroine is dying. She needs one last thing from the hero, one thing she can't do without. Thats how our story begins.
ReplyDelete@Aileen--Thank you!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your latest release, Rebecca! What are you working on now?

I love Mer books. There are just not enough of them around. How do you research for a mer book? Is it just researching legends?
ReplyDeletedebby236 at gmail dot com
@Annalisa--Not to sound like too much of a cop out but I like writing whatever paranormal creature I am currently writing. LOL
ReplyDelete@Debby--Reading whatever i can and then delving into my own imagination
