I write military romance. I started writing in 2020, and published my first book, JUSTICE for Mary in May 2021. I write in Susan Stoker&#8217;s universe and absolutely LOVE it! I hope to branch out into my own series once my current HELLFORCE series is complete with 6 books. I&#8217;m completely awkward and clumsy&#8230;but I love to make people smile and\/or laugh, so the &#8220;skill&#8221; of being a klutz isn&#8217;t put to waste.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>How did you hear about this event?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">This answer is two-fold. The basic answer is my bestie Anna Blakely. Which leads to the second part of the answer, I attended WOTR in 2022 and 2023 as a reader.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>How many years have you attended? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">2 years<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What genres do you write?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">Military Romance<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What is a book of yours you wish more people read?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">AVENGING Antonia. Though I love all my books, the start of the series is like anything else&#8230;I had no idea what I was attempting to do. hahaha! So, BOOD one is a bit rough, but the STORY itself is heartwarming and suspenseful&#8230;all the good things a book should be. I do worry that if readers start at book one, there is a chance they will not continue on into the series&#8230;BUT I PROMISE YOU&#8230;if you fall in love with the guys (and gals) in book one, you will ABSOLUTELY love the rest of the series. I do get my writing legs under myself as I continued to write, so that is why I say, &#8220;Start with book 4.&#8221; AVENGING Antonia actually ties into book one, JUSTICE for Mary, so when you discover the Easter egg in book one after reading book 4, I think readers are pleasantly pleased. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What is one fun fact about you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">I am SO socially awkward, but if you ask people, they will say I am the life of the party or I am outgoing&#8230;sociable&#8230;.yadda, yadda, yadda. But BECAUE I am so socially awkward, I push myself SO FAR BEYOND my comfort and try SO HARD to be &#8220;normal&#8221; that I, mostly, go beyond what is socially acceptable. I&#8217;m PEOPLING, but dying a little bit inside each moment. hahaha! So since I DO NOT PEOPLE! WOTR, as my 1st signing, is a HUGE LEAP\/accomplishment for me. i will be so far outside my wheelhouse, but loving EVERY minute of this signing. I can&#8217;t wait to meet readers! I always say, &#8220;Without readers&#8230;A book is just a book, and an author is just an author.&#8221; These readers are our loudest cheerleaders and our biggest fans! So, as a reader who attends signings and gets the opportunity to meet MY favorite authors, I cannot wait to be on the other side of the table and meet the readers who make HELLFORCE&#8230;well, HELLFORCE. Without readers, HELLFORCE would just be a story floating in the ether and a simple dream in my mind and heart. So&#8230;LONG explanation SHORT&#8230;I am&#8211;BIG TIME&#8212;a socially awkward fool. hahaha!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What are your social links?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">RAYNE WEB PAGE: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/472Kcnp\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/472Kcnp<\/a><br \/>\nRAYNE&#8217;S ROMANTICS FACEBOOK READER GROUP: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2R50MR3\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2R50MR3<\/a><br \/>\nRAYNE LEWIS AUTHOR PAGE: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/36kN1Sk\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/36kN1Sk<\/a><br \/>\nBOOKBUB: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3fer0bU\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3fer0bU<\/a><br \/>\nGOODREADS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/21357164.Rayne_Lewis\">https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/21357164.Rayne_Lewis<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What are you buy links?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">AMAZON: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/36jmGUr\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/36jmGUr<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/wotr25-ticket-image.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-33070 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/wotr25-ticket-image.jpg?resize=300%2C280\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/wotr25-ticket-image.jpg?resize=300%2C280 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/wotr25-ticket-image.jpg?resize=768%2C717 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/wotr25-ticket-image.jpg?w=796 796w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/Writersonriver.com\">Writersonriver.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.
