Be Still My Lover’s Heart — with Lisa Hannah Wells

Niecey: How thrilled am I to have Lisa Hannah Wells on my blog today??? Super duper thrilled! First off, she’s a fellow Rose, an author with my publisher, The Wild Rose Press. Second, she writes Sci-Fi!!! Many of you probably don’t know this about me, but I have always been a Sci-Fi junkie! I love to read Sci-Fi and watch Sci-Fi movies and shows. Kind of addicted (ssssshhhhh!!!) She’s visiting today to talk about her book, Be Still My Lover’s Heart.

Lisa: First, I’d like to thank Niecey for having me as a guest on her blog. I really appreciate it and am glad to be here.

coverartclearer_lgLHW Ethereal beauty Shea, a Lieutenant in a Universal military, has spent the last four years protecting Colony supply freighters on a small space station. If not for her partner and the hopes of a better assignment, the loss of her husband and a devastating illness would leave her little desire to live.

That is until she meets Tempest, an alien whose species is rumored to be the origin of the vampires, a man who makes her feel alive in ways she’s never felt before.

Tempest has prayed to the Divine One for countless years for his bondmate. Shea is his long-awaited answer and so much more. One night will not be enough for a man who has waited a lifetime, but he is determined to make Shea his forever.

With a madman out to destroy them and certain death nipping at their heels, will Tempest and Shea outwit Remi and survive to share a future together, or die protecting all they hold dear?

QUESTIONS?

1) Where did you get the idea for writing this book?

I decided to enter a contest that called for a Space Opera short story for an anthology on another publisher’s website. I had never written one before, but really got caught up in it. They never even read it, so I took it and began to expand on it. The characters took on a life of their own and it became a book that I would want to read. I had no idea at the time that it would become a series, but many of my books tend to go that way.

2) What makes the characters in this book stand out?

The human characters aren’t that different than others today, except that they are raised in space and life is different there. They still have the same problems, emotions, anxieties and shortcomings. But, my Vatamps, or Memory Makers as they are called are truly unique. They are an old race, and because of some customs are rumored to be the origin of vampires. However, their race was nearly wiped out and few are left to carry on. The soul-mate theory is very much a driving force in this series and yet has a different take to it. The Vatamps are called Memory Makers because they are able to call on the memories of all the ancestors that have gone before them to help them solve difficult situations and/or to rebuild and move on with life.

3) How many books are planned in this series and do we see some of the same characters again?

There are five books in this series. Yes, you do see some of the same characters again with a few following throughout to the end of the series. In this particular series, I have a very unique way to wrap it all up. While each book stands on its own, the series still goes together much the same way as a puzzle with a satisfying twist at the end.

4) Is Science Fiction your preferred genre or do you write other things?

Actually, I began with Epic Fantasy series when I was much younger, then morphed over into the paranormal side of Romance, my favorite. I love to write cross-genre in nearly all subcategories of romance and also in YA romance, Fantasy, Science Fiction and still with Epic Fantasy series.

5) Do you have a special cozy place to write?

Usually on the loveseat surrounded by my three cats, the windows open for a cooling breeze.
