BLOG TOUR & INTERVIEW - Forever: The Dragon Wars by Rebecca Royce

Devin Owen has come back from the Dragon Wars a changed Werewolf. For one thing, he's lost his wolf side as well as most of his desire to live. He spends most of his life doped up to handle the pain from his injured leg.

Lena Knox knew the moment she met Devin that he was her mate. But, she'd been a child at the time and he hadn't noticed her at all. Now, all grown up she wants Devin to be the wolf she’s waited for. Not that she has a lot of time for longing with life crumbling around her.

A couple of heated encounters draw them together but is it enough to overcome the war wounds they both carry? Or will an outside enemy destroy them before they get the chance to know?

Romance Addict: When did you know you wanted to be an author?

Rebecca Royce: My whole life. I wrote my first book in Fourth Grade.

Romance Addict: How did the idea for Forever: The Dragon War come about?

Rebecca Royce: I was given a task by a writer friend. We had been contemplating writing an anthology together. All of us tried to write a short story that had a military theme and a May/December romance.  The anthology didn’t happen but the trilogy evolved out of there.

Romance Addict: Where did your passion for writing about Werewolves come from?

Rebecca Royce: Not sure.  The zoo, I guess. I took my oldest son to one and my first Wolf series was born from there. Can we blame it on that?

Romance Addict: Do you write about other paranormal creatures as well?

Rebecca Royce: Lots. Vampires. Witches. I once wrote a Fate (that’s out of availability now but I might bring it back at some point.) Mermaids.  And creatures I made up called The Outsiders.

Romance Addict: What does your family think about your writing paranormal romance books?

Rebecca Royce: They love it. I think at first it was a little shocking but these days they’re really proud.

Romance Addict: Do you read other paranormal romances as well? What is your favorite genre of books to read?

Rebecca Royce: I love all Paranormal books.  I think Nalini Singh’s Psy/Changelings are my favorite.

Romance Addict: What is the best book you've read recently?

Rebecca Royce: I just got finished with Brenda Novak’s Stillwater series. I loved that.  And Rapid Dominance by Bella Juarez was really hot and really fun.

Romance Addict: What advise would you give to others wanting to become a writer?

Rebecca Royce: Write every day. It’s a job, not a hobby.

“You’re my mate, Devin. I’ve known it since the first time I was in your company when I was seven years old.”

Devin gripped the side of the table he stood next to like she’d struck him. “No.”

“No?” She hadn’t expected the pain of his rejection. She’d known he might not believe her at first. Tears she refused to shed clogged her throat. “It’s not ‘no.’ I’m your mate, such that I am.”

Lena knew she wasn’t an ideal Female specimen. Her skin frequently broke out in horrible bouts of acne, although she looked pretty clear at the moment, her chin jutted out too far, her hands were not dainty, and when she shifted, her Wolf form frequently had trouble coming to a stop at high speeds. More than once she’d collided into trees, bushes, and other Wolves.

But she knew she was a nice person. She could work hard, and she never asked anyone for anything but common decency. She’d be a good mate to him, and he shouldn’t be rejecting her outright.

Unless he found her absolutely repulsive to look at…

“You’ve made a mistake. Whatever you thought you smelled when you were a child was the wild fantasy of a young girl. You should be over it by now.”

She sighed. “Devin, I can still smell it. I promise when you get to know me you’ll find out I’m not wildly fanciful. I live in the real world.”

“I can’t smell it on you. Not at all. I’m sorry, Lena. You seem like a nice kid, but if you can really smell mating from me, then it’s one of those rare occasions where one Wolf feels something the other doesn’t.”

Lena had heard about those situations. It was every young Wolf’s deepest fear. Something went askew with the chemistry. One Wolf felt mated and the other one didn’t. They could even mate with someone else.

“I think you should go home and work on getting over whatever this is because, at least for my part, it is not a mating.”

Lena’s heart might explode from her chest. She turned on her heel. What else was there to say, really? He’d said no. He didn’t feel it. She’d waited fifteen years for him to come home, and it had been for nothing.

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’ve just moved to Texas where Rebecca is discovering a new love for barbecue!

She's in love with science fiction, fantasy, and the paranormal 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.
