Theater isn't just a play, it's a passion, and the sparks fly between these two co-stars.
Aiden Harrison is stunned by
the change in his co-star. In college, she’d been the worst. A stalker he’d
actually feared. Now, however, she was so hot, he could hardly keep his hands
from grabbing her and dragging her to the nearest dark corner.
Maylis Smith had no idea what
to make of the man playing opposite her in this small production. He blew cold,
then hot, then colder. But she was a professional, and her goals went farther
than a small theater in BFE. All her dreams were about to come true, and she
was holding on for everything she was worth.
Wild Women Authors concludes our week long look at the Fiery Billionaires Nights series with an interview of author Mia Augustine.
Good morning, Mia. Thanks for gifting us with six terrific stories this week. Tell us where you come up with the idea for writing short stories, aka ‘shorts’, for the Fiery Billionaire Nights series. Sadly, I’m the kind of person who chases rainbows. Did I say sadly? What I mean is Sadly and Gladly. It’s a double-edged sword. On the one hand, I dash after trends, hence, the many different sub-genres I’ve published in (Kathy L Wheeler): Regency Historical, Mail Order Bride, Gothic contemporary, Civil War, Twenties, Forties… you name it.
The Fiery Billionaire Nights shorts came about after
talking to a successful author who focused only on shorts. She’s making a
killing. I thought, “Hmmm, how hard could it be?” It’s hard. I do write them fast.
But I don’t write first person. And, I thought to tie them to my Bloomington
Series. But as shorts, there’s not enough time for suspense or even extra
characters. But, what do I do? Toss them?
Talk about tearing your heart out! Not an option. So,
I put them out there. They [writing shorts] do serve another purpose: learning
to focus; writing faster; nailing down the quick plots, and the turnaround. It’s
been a learning experience, for sure. And, I love the characters. Writing this
series gives me ideas for other characters and it’s just plain fun.
This
story [When Stars Align] is different from the others in the series. Why is
that? Originally, this was the first
book. I had no plans to really connect the stories except to the Bloomington
small town series. And I love theater. So it just turned out that the idea for
Wedding Vows for Hire had the four girls who went to Manhattan and wanted to
make it big. Things just evolved. I wrote the two of the girls’ stories from
the four, before the Locatelli family hit me. Someone wrote a fantastic review
on Unfashionable Diva, then said they were off to see if there were other
family members, so I wrote the next two siblings—Isabel and Catarina. Where
does that leave me?
With
one more heroine from Bloomington: Felicia, and two more Locatelli sisters. Goodness, that three more. See what I mean? The ideas run
rampant. Be glad you are not in my head. 😊
