Noelle Rahn-Johnson

Noelle Rahn Johnson is back for another visit with me. She’s a fellow Midwesterner!

Author Bio

Noelle currently lives in Northern Minnesota with her husband, their four children, and a few pets of the 4-legged kinds. She spends most of her days puttering away on the keyboard with a breathtaking view of a lake in her backyard as a source of tranquil inspiration. She and her husband were high school sweethearts and will celebrate their 28th year of wedded bliss in August of 2020. She enjoys fishing, reading, shopping, writing, and spending time with her family, granddaughter, and new grandbaby expected in June 2020.

Noelle not only thrives on her love of writing, weaving worlds full of passion and romance for her readers to crawl into, but also the excitement of her readers when they know she’s getting close to another release date. She plans to release many more books in the coming years for their enjoyment.

Be warned, no matter the genre of her work, Noelle’s books will all contain explicit language and sexy romance scenes! 18+ audiences only!

Tell us about yourself.

Well, I’m a married woman, have 4 kids, 1 grand daughter and another grandbaby on the way, due in June. I live in northern Minnesota on a small private 131-acre lake. The people here are friendly but private. Minnesota nice is what we call it. I’ve been writing my 18+ romance books since 2014, and released my first book ‘In Pieces’ September of 12015.

When did you know you wanted to be an author?

I didn’t want to be an author. The characters stalked me, and I wrote down a ‘short story’ and asked my hubby what he thought of me writing a book. So, I went with it and haven’t stopped.

What genres do you like to read?

I read what I write. So, it would be romance, 18+, I love reading romance and having it be a story, not just all sex.

Are these the same genres you write in?

Yes, I write what I know. I also write from experiences I’ve had, or heard about from others.

Is your book for adults, young adults or children?

LOL, glad you asked. I have all 10 of my books as 18+ for sex and language. BUT I also have a children’s books written, it’s just waiting for me to get enough money to pay for the illustrations. I already have the illustrator picked out and she’s ready to go!

What is your current release or project?

I just had a new release in December 2019. It’s the second book in the Shadows series- Hidden in the Shadows. I’m also combining the Pieces 3 books into 1 trilogy set, crossing fingers- in January 2020. I’m also writing a stand-alone book called ‘The Queen’s Justice’. It’s a second chance, love triangle, suspense, 18+ romance.

Tell us about the key characters.

LOL, Jamison is a hunky dark chocolate meaty man, and his ‘mate’ is a skinny red-haired white boy. It’s a male/male romance- shifter style!

What is your blurb or synopsis of the book?

Squatting on the forest floor, hidden behind and under the tall, thick ferns, Jamison watches as a red macaw flies and dodges trees, scrambling away from two other macaws chasing him.

When the red bird miscalculates his turn, and flies head on into a tree, the other two birds squawk and fly away.

Jamison lumbers over to where the injured bird lays. Seeing that the bird may be injured, he carefully picks it up with his huge, thick hands and cradles it into his massive chest. He brings it to his home to care of it until it heals.
When Sam wakes, he’s no longer in the forest trying to get away from the aggressive female and male shifters. But now he’s lying on a soft leather couch. In someone’s home.

The female and her boyfriend wanted a three-some, but Sam’s not bi, he’s totally GAY!

He knows he won’t have children the normal way, but adopting isn’t out of the question. Sam’s lived his adult life alone. His parents abandoned him when he came out to them as gay. And that didn’t sit well with their flighty and all-mighty life style.

When Sam meets Jamison’s almost black eyes, attraction, heat and ‘mate’ screeches through his brain. Sam’s a skinny white boy with flaming red hair.
Will this lumbering, muscular, dark chocolate skinned, shifter of a man want him?
Could the hulking man want more than just him and a roll in the leaves?
Will their animal shifter be accepting of each other?
One flying and the other a chest pounding, beefy shifter?

I don’t know if I can really post that here, its not for the weak of heart or someone looking to ready about 2 sexy men in a sexual act. (wink wink)

This is in Samuel’s POV-

“Touch me, Samuel. I’m yours.” His voice is quiet, rugged and full of want for me.

At his words, he pushes his hips towards me a bit more and all I want to do is pull off his underwear and see what he’s hiding behind the thin material on his hips. I run my hands up the sides of his hips, lean forward and rest my chin on his hard cock. I can feel it thump my chin.

“Oh God, Samuel, just take them off. I can’t wait until your skin touches mine. I’m so fucking hot right now for you.” He pants.

Do you have a favorite scene?

The whole book??? The fight scene towards the end is a goodie, and the very end, that’s a romantic scene.

What advice would you give a beginner?

NEVER GIVE UP!!! Write, write, write, and seek out help from other authors. I’ve mentored 4 newbies last year already.

Her and her husband were high school sweethearts, and will be celebrating their 25th year of wedded bliss in August of 2017. She enjoys fishing, reading, shopping, writing, and spending time with her family.

Tell us about yourself

Well, I’m a married, mom of 4 with a granddaughter. I’ve been writing since 2014, but didn’t publish my first book until 2015. I currently have 9 books out and writing 2 at the same time currently. I live on a lake in northern Minnesota with my hubs of 25+ years, 2 kids, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 6 pet rats and a handful of fish.

When did you know you wanted to be an author?

I didn’t know I wanted to be an author. I just had an idea of a story one day and wrote it down. It became the Pieces Trilogy and I just haven’t stopped since.

What genres do you like to read? Are these the same genres you write in?

I’m a romance freak. Any HEA romance except for historical, I’m good. I write what I read. Contemporary, shifter, vampire, NA/College. 18+, I like it steamy but not over the top.

Is your book for adults, young adults or children?

My books are all 18+ because of the language and sexual scenes. But they are not erotica or 50 shades. I have written a child’s book, but I’m waiting for some more money to come in so I can get the illustrations done.

What is your current release or project?

The last book I did release was Secrets Past. I’m currently writing Hidden in the shadows which is book 2 in the Shadows series AND The Queen’s Justice, which is a stand alone.

Tell us about the key characters

Well, in Hidden in the Shadows there is Samuel who is a skinny red head and a red macaw shifter. Jamison is a silver backed Ape in Remote Oregon. They meet under different situations and there is sex, drama and love.

What is your blurb or synopsis of the book?

Squatting on the forest floor, hidden behind and under the tall, thick ferns, Jamison watches as a red macaw flies and dodges trees, scrambling away from two other macaws chasing him.

Chapter 1

Jamison

I’ve lived on the very outskirts of this town called Remote, Oregon for all my adult life alone. For three reasons only-It’s beautiful, private and quiet. Those three things alone make it worth my while, but also my animal can go ape wild if he wants too and we don’t need to worry about humans interfering. My beast doesn’t like being alone, but I can’t help that.

There are a few shifters in this area, but we pretty much keep to ourselves. Shifters are all over the world, not just where their animal is originally native from.

I live in a small two-bedroom one-bathroom rustic cabin home. I have wood to burn for heat, and a small heater in my bedroom for those freezing cold nights when my balls are about to fall off. I have electric and running water, so I’m not too far off the grid, but I do like my peace and quiet. And my small home is right on the edge of the forest and mountains.

Currently, I’m in my animal form munching on the berries I love so much, and my huge sausage looking fingers squish a few, so I lick the berry juice off them. I drop a few as I’m startled by a loud squawk and a few screeches coming from somewhere in the upper boughs of the massive pine trees. I’m sitting here in the depths of the forest, forced to listen to the constant squawking of the damn birds flying overhead.

Do you have a favorite scene?

Not yet. I’m only about 12,000+ words into the book, but it’s already getting interesting.

What advice would you give a beginner?

Don’t give up on your writing. Stay writing one book at a time or you’ll never finish. Promote, promote promote!! If you wont do it, it wont sell. If you have questions, ASK them!! Nothing is stupid if you don’t know the answer to it.
