Midnight Vengeance by Lisa Marie Rice
About Midnight Vengeance by Lisa Marie Rice
Morton “Jacko” Jackman isn’t afraid of anything. He’s a former Navy SEAL sniper, and he’s been in more firefights than most people have had hot meals. Lauren Dare scares the crap out of him.
Gorgeous, talented and refined, she’s the type of woman who could never be interested in a roughneck like him. So he’s loved her fiercely in secret, taken her art classes, and kept a watchful but comfortable distance. Until now.
Lauren had finally found a home in Portland, far from her real identity, far from the memories of her mother’s death, and outside the reaches of the drugged-out psycho who’s already tried to kill her twice. One tiny misstep—a single photograph—has shattered it all. She has no choice but to run again, but this time she’ll give herself a proper farewell: one night with Jacko.
Their highly charged emotional encounter changes everything. In Jacko’s arms there cannot be fear, there can only be pleasure. Anyone wishing her harm will have to pass through him, and Jacko is a hard man to kill.

Author Bio:
Lisa Marie Rice is eternally 30 years old and will never age. She is tall and willowy and beautiful. Men drop at her feet like ripe pears. She has won every major book prize in the world. She is a black belt with advanced degrees in archaeology, nuclear physics, and Tibetan literature. She is a concert pianist. Did I mention her Nobel Prize? Of course, Lisa Marie Rice is a virtual woman and exists only at the keyboard when writing romantic suspense. She disappears when the monitor winks off.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Now isn’t that an interesting bio to have? Isn’t that a thousand times better than saying that I’m a middle-aged, er…woman, no longer in the very, very first flush of youth, who basically sits in front of a computer screen all day in her pajamas?
I am so lucky to be Lisa Marie Rice! There is no literary genre anywhere remotely as exciting and thrilling as erotic romantic suspense. It has absolutely everything: red-hot passion, danger, adventure, heart-stopping love. I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoy sitting down to the keyboard and bleeding…er, writing my heart out, falling in love with my men over and over and over again.
Well, why not? My men are brave and smart and built. And boy do they love their women! Their women are much more interesting than new weaponry, sports cars, and even plasma TVs in their eyes, and the fascination will last their entire lifetimes, I promise. It’s sex, of course, but also a whole lot more. My heroes genuinely like and admire their women, though in the beginning this is sometimes obscured by blinding lust. Once that first sharp edge of desire is over and they settle down a little—and that will take several years and a kid or two—they’re so bonded with their women that they couldn’t live without them.
And it is so much fun “being” my heroines while writing about them. You may have noticed that most, if not all, of my heroines are artsy in some way, just like me. It just sort of comes out that way. There’s not much calculation when creating my characters: They literally become alive for me and when my character says—I’m a singer or a designer or I love books—well, that’s that.
It’s fabulous sitting here in my not-perfect body and becoming the beautiful young woman that that ornery alpha male is glomming on to. Of course, my heroines are also in dire peril, which is not so much fun. And which is why I’m the writer and not the heroine (give or take a few years and a few pounds).
One true fact: Looking out of my study across my wonderful terrace I see a bright blue line which is the Ionian Sea. And if I had a powerful enough telescope I could see the Greek temple where Pythagoras taught.
Deja Vu
What if you could relive your life, from the age of sixteen?
Rose wakes up two weeks after her sixteenth birthday in a hospital. She doesn’t remember anything from her past, or the circumstances that brought her there. Her family and friends surround her with love, helping her to recover and return to her life. But, for Rose, life has begun at the age of sixteen; she doesn’t remember her childhood, her parents, nor David, her childhood sweetheart.
The years pass. Rose’s life turns boring as hell. She knows something had gone wrong, but what? She can’t tell, and sadly watches her youth fade away. At the age of thirty-two, she wakes up in the hospital…
She is sixteen again.
Can she change her fate?

Author Bio:
We grew up in the deep, mysterious forests of eastern Norway, our imaginations soaked in fairytales about scary trolls, dubious hobgoblins, and beautiful pixies – no doubt in our minds that the deadly Nixen dwelled in every pond, creek, river, and lake – always ready to lure us into the woods, to cook us, and eat us. The horror …
This, combined with hours and hours of reading comic books, watching TV, playing computer games, and going to the movies, developed a chronic lust for storytelling. Via playing in bands, revues, theater, improv, and TV-shows, we have arrived here: writing the Meantime Stories. The wonder …
We have also collaborated on the acclaimed and humorous children’s book “Freddy Fumple and the Mindmonsters”. Besides that, we like food, and to be happy and content.
See you in the Meantime!

With a bachelors in Accounting, writing has been a great way to unwind and let my imagination fly.

Secret Box: Searching for Dad in a Century of Self
About Secret Box: Searching for Dad in a Century of Self
(The eBook will be free on Amazon.co.uk from Sat 3rd – Mon 5th March 2018).
Do you think you know your father? This is the true story of a psychologist who takes off his professional hat and returns to his ‘60s childhood. His quest is to solve the mystery of what happened to his father and his family. Guided by diaries, letters, photographs, visits and family recollections, he finds out what made him a psychologist in the first place.
Reliving sweet and bitter emotions, he struggles to understand what actually occurred, until he assembles the fuller story using tools he learned as a developmental psychologist. His father engulfed by the “Human Potential Movement” broke up their happy family, for reasons many of us will still recognise today. We are caused to reflect on who we are, what we want with each other, the freedom we sometimes mistakenly crave and what we owe the next generation.
Using the techniques of a fiction writer, historian, detective, coach and psychologist, this is a book of interest to anyone seeking to understand their own history and family. It raises broader questions for psychologists, sociologists, organisational leaders and those in a helping profession.

White Lilies The Beginning
About https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X91PWBP
Lily is left heart-broken and shattered after the death of her mother. Now she is moving in with a father she barely knows, with nightmares haunting her every breath. Finding out there are wolves in the world… that can turn human at will is a terrifying thought. With the help of the local Alpha she learns to let people in again, and to heal her shattered soul. She slowly learns that broken doesn’t always mean weak, and sometimes you need the love of new found friends and self-formed family to heal the unseen wounds. Will she put her broken pieces back together with an Alpha’s help? Or will she fall deeper into her own mind – burrowing in a hole she can’t escape from? How can she become a part of a pack full of dominant wolves – when she has more humanity than them all?
~”I think you are a little broke, but I think you will overcome it.” I just sat there, not quite understanding what he was saying. “Lily, we will take this slow, get to know each other. But you are mine, and I am yours, always.” He said, softly taking my face in his hands and looking at me with heated eyes, “Do you understand?”~
