might just lose their hearts #romance #UrbanFantasy @GoddessFish

Hey folks! Today I’m happy to introduce you to Gini Rifkin and her story Solace!

~ * ~ BIO ~ * ~

Gini Rifkin writes adventurous romance, past, present, and into the future. Her current book Solace, number seven for The Wild Rose Press, is a sexy sci/fi/fantasy romance. When not reading or writing, she has the privilege of caring for a menagerie of abandoned animals including ducks, geese, rabbits, goats, donkeys, and cats. She was born and raised in Illinois, became a registered nurse by age 19, and when struck by wanderlust, moved to Colorado where she met her husband Gary. They shared the journey for 30 years, spending vacations doing Mountain Man reenacting. Although Gary has passed on, a little bit of him lives on in every hero she writes. Her writing keeps her hungry to keep learning new things, and she considers family and friends her most treasured of gifts.

I asked Gini Rifkin, “What is the best and most rewarding thing you find about being a writer? Want to share what you think is the worst and most frustrating thing you find about being a writer?” and here is the response.

Thank you for having me here today Jacey, and what good questions.

The best thing about writing is being able to follow one’s passion. I’m a slow and deliberate writer and sometimes I agonize while trying to convert the images in my brain to the big white page, but I still love and feel fortunate to be involved in the process. Finishing a book offers a great sense of accomplishment. Opening the box of books when it arrives, and holding that first copy in your hands, is still a thrill. The most rewarding part of writing is hearing from fans, knowing you touched their lives, knowing for a little while they were like new friends along for the ride.

The worst thing is letting the story go. When you okay that final galley, and you know for all times you can never change one single word in the manuscript. That’s painful for an obsessive author. The most frustrating thing is the possibility that I probably have more stories in my head than I will live long enough to get down on paper. Working on book eight and counting!

Solace Goodeve, one of Mother Nature’s favorite Fae Warriors, is assigned to Earth to help save the planet. Reptile invaders, disguising themselves as humans, are waging a takeover—and Mother is mad enough to eat asteroids. Solace is ready to prove herself as a warrior, but having a human for a partner is not in her battle plan—even if the man is rugged, ripped, and ready for action.

Army Ranger, Tanner Jackson, has seen his share of black op missions. The last one took a toll on both body and soul. Tanner isn’t looking for love, even though his new partner is six-foot-tall and drop dead gorgeous. However, after Solace shows him a new meaning to working undercover, he may have to reconsider that possibility.

As the Reps plan to sabotage NOAA, Tanner and Solace must learn to trust one another. But as they’re trying to save the world, Solace and Tanner might just lose their hearts—and that takes the most courage of all.

There must be some mistake. The man striding toward her couldn’t be Tanner Jackson. Dressed in a black t-shirt, camo cargo pants, and rugged lace up boots, he looked ready for a special ops mission, not a day of wrestling with figures and scientific data. Tall and well-muscled, he appeared rock solid, like he belonged in the age of Athena. In fact, he seemed so overwhelmingly masculine, she worried he might not be human. That gave her pause. Had the Reps already established a man on the inside?
