Interview with Author Delilah Marvelle and Giveaway

Today I am super excited to welcome the lovely Delilah Marvelle to RFTC. I am a big fan of Miz Marvelle's and her books are amazing! Delilah is celebrating the recent release of Forever a Lady and has stopped by to answer a few questions. But before I get to the interview, lets get to know a bit about Miz Marvelle.

Delilah Marvelle spent her youth studying various languages, reading voraciously and playing the pianoforte. She confesses that here ends the extent of her gentle breeding. She was a naughty child who was forever torturing her parents with countless adventures that they did not deem respectable. Confined to her room on many occasions due to these misadventures, she discovered the quill and its amazing power. Soon, to the dismay of her parents, she rather enjoyed being confined to her room and finished writing her first historical romance (which was a heart-stopping 800 pages long…) at the age of fourteen. She is a two time Golden Heart finalist and the winner of The Reviewer's Choice Award for Best Sensual HIstorical Romance of the Year. You can visit her at her website at www.DelilahMarvelle.com or her blog, which explores the naughtier side of history, at www.DelilahMarvelle.blogspot.com.
