Blogtour Where the Rain is Made by Keta Diablo + Giveaway

Welcome to the blog tour for Where The Rain Is Made. Keta and I are glad you stopped by.

Susi: How did you start your writing career?
Keta: The first book I wrote was a sensual historical based on a real-life event in my family history. Not too long after that first book I began writing erotic romance and Gay fiction. Several years ago I wrote an erotic fantasy romance called Dust and Moonlight and I really enjoyed writing that genre too. I hope to do another fantasy/time travel one day.

More information about Dust and Moonlight (Amazon Kindle) here.

Susi: How do you describe your writing style?
Keta: I think I’m a fairly simple writer. I try not to get too verbose, and I think I probably talk very similar to how I write. And I ask a lot of questions of my characters, as I do in life. My brothers said I should have been a lawyer.

Susi: Tell us about your current release.
Keta: Thank you for asking about Where The Rain Is Made. My youngest son is responsible for the inspiration behind the book. About six years ago he took a keen interest in American history, particularly Native American history. I can’t tell you the number of hours we spent at the library checking out books and reading about all the different tribes. For some reason, he loved the history on the Dog Soldiers and so we accumulated a lot of documents, research articles, etc. About a year later, his reading interests shifted, and here I was with all this information about the Cheyenne. It made sense that I would write a book about the Dog Soldiers.

Susi: Tell us about your favorite character from your books.
Keta: That’s like asking me to name my favorite child – lol. I really enjoyed writing Decadent Deceptions, a historical erotic romance with intrigue and suspense. And I loved both of the characters from this book, Olivia and Morgan. But I really think Where The Rain Is Made is my favorite story as far as plot and characters. It’s so much fun when you have one character from the present and one from the past. The contrasts or differences in how they live is always fun to explore.

About Where The Rain Is Made:
A decadent savage has captured Francesca DuVall and her brother, Marsh. Now she must spend every waking moment planning an escape. However, she didn’t count on the powerful draw of desire interfering with her scheme in the camp of the brutal Cheyenne dog soldiers.
:
Ethan Gray is a curator at a national museum . . . most of the time, but when he travels through time to help his beloved People he becomes Meko, leader of the most revered and feared tribe of the plains.

Although their worlds are decades apart Meko can’t resist the dark beauty he kidnapped during a raid. He has many battles to fight but none he wants to win more than the one that will capture Cesca’s heart forever. From the windswept plains of Colorado and the harsh life of a Dog Soldier to the placid life of a curator their love was fueled by passion and kindled by destiny.

My thoughts about Where the Rain is Made:
I loved the setting- it was really refreshing to read about something else. For me as a European, my knowledge about Cheyenne history is not as wide as I wish it would be. We heard about all this in school but not nearly enough. Okay I admit I found all the different names confusing and I'm not sure why some Cheyenne names where in English and some in their tongue but I'm not a pro in those things at all so I won't judge it.

Cesca is a complicated woman. I admit at times I really couldn't stand her at all and other times I wanted to cheer for her. Sometimes she was so wise and at other times she was just wrong.
Meko is also not easy to describe either. He has so many facets and I don't think I understood him. Perhaps the Cheyenne way of life is too far away for me but he made me angry so often.
The love story in Where the Rain is Made took me by surprise. I couldn't really say since which point they were in love and even less why all of a sudden they had these feelings. Perhaps it was because I didn't understood the characters as much as I would have liked to but their relationship really left me cold.

The plot was full of action and brutal violence and this book is for sure not for the faint of heart. Things happen I usually don't like to read about, more than one thing to be honest. I won't tell you much about this but I think everything has it's own right to be in the book. The history of the Native American tells us that there were many brutal things and it would have been wrong to paint those years in a better less violent light because after all it was not like this.

For everyone who always wanted to learn more about the history of the Cheyenne go and get your copy. You will get a deep and thorough view into their lives.
