Alison S. Parkins Fun Author Interview with
*~* Rachel De Lune *~*
All about you!
Name: Rachel De Lune
Location: Bristol, UK
Star Sign: Taurus
What genre/genres do you write? Contemporary and Erotic romance
Tell us a random fact about yourself: I collect £2 coins
Where is your dream holiday destination? Somewhere with plenty of sun
Food
What is your all-time favourite food? Does chocolate count?
What is your favourite Take-Away choice? Greek or Indian depending on the mood
Tell us your favourite sweets/candy? I’d choose chocolate over sweets, although a rhubarb and custard was my favourite when I was a child
If you like to cook, which dish do you enjoy preparing and cooking yourself? I’m very lucky that my husband does most of the cooking! I do like to make pancakes for the family at the weekend though.
Do you enjoy baking? If so what is your favourite food item you love to bake? Cakes!
What is the one dessert you can never resist? Tiramisu
Book Characters
Which of your book characters has a lot of you in them? I think there’s some of me in all of my characters. Izzy loves shoes, Jess likes gin and chocolate. I probably put more of my emotions into Izzy. She was my first, and I spent years with her.
Who so far, has been your favourite character to write? I had more fun with Jess. And even more with Natasha. It’s a constant learning process, so each character and book is different.
If you could be any character from any book, who would you be and why? Oh, my. Where to start. I love JR Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood and so would love to experience that world. Maybe Beth? I’m now running my eyes over all of my books thinking who I’d love to be. This is a hard question…
Is there one of your book characters that you have disliked or do you love them all in some way, even the bad guys? There have been characters that I’ve felt indifferent about. Or more removed from them compared to others. When I’m writing, I live and breathe them. But I’ve shocked myself how quickly they can be replaced when you’re working on your next character, or when the new story starts unfolding in your mind.
Random Questions
What car do you drive? A small Kia
What is your dream car? Hmmm… I’d defer to my husband. Probably a 911. I’m not one for cars
Who is your current eye candy/crush? Usually, the latest muse for my next male lead…
Which celebrity did you have a crush on as a teenager? Leonardo Di Caprio is one I remember. He’s getting better with age!
What is your favourite movie of all-time? Got to be either pretty woman or dirty woman… or possibly Aliens (A little random, I know!)
Who is your favourite band/singer of all-time? I’m not a music buff. I love Sam Smith. His album was the soundtrack to a couple of my books. I love Annie Lennox and Adele. I usually just listen to the radio and then find a song that I MUST have and then find myself writing to that. Then, repeat a few months later.
Tell us more about you, tell us as much or as little as you like…
Rachel De Lune writes emotionally driven contemporary and erotic romance.
She began scribbling her stories of dominance and submission in the pages of a notebook several years ago and still can’t resist putting pen to real paper. What ifs are turned into heartfelt stories of love where there will always be a HEA.
Rachel lives in the South West of England and daydreams about shoes with red soles, lingerie and chocolate. If she’s not writing HEAs, she’s probably reading them. She is a wife and has a beautiful daughter.
For every woman who’s ever desired more.

He demands Jess’ trust. The one thing she keeps locked away.
As their bond intensifies, Jessica fears that this Greek God will put the pieces of her heart back together. Family, marriages, and ghosts of her past all plague her ability to trust her own decisions, especially the ones that revolve around love.

More Than Desire – The Evermore Series, Book 4

Escape. Avoid. Ignore the beautiful red head in the office.
That is James Riley’s plan.
He moved to Australia for career progression and an opportunity he couldn’t pass up. His lie was so good even he believed it. James wanted to forget his one and only mistake. He wasn’t about to make another relationship misstep falling for the sexy siren.
Ariana Scott thought she wanted a Dom. That choice cost her both blood and tears. A year later, she was still trying to put the pieces of her life back together. Her interest in the sexy British guy was too soon, too fast and because of her job, off limits. But the lure of James Riley was a temptation she can’t shake off.
Neither expected their safe vanilla fling to turn serious. But when Ariana’s career, family, and lifestyle are threatened, they are forced to confront their greatest fears—especially when the casual sex they indulge in becomes more than desire.
