I want to say a HUGE thank you to Allison and Tracey for coming to the blog to kick off our Re-opening and to Celebrate the release of their new book, Beast. It released from Dreamspinner yesterday, March 14th.
For a chance to win an e-book copy, make sure you leave your email address in the comments.
Tracey: Okay. So. Why did we decide on B&B [Beauty and
the Beast]?
Allison: I always loved that story. It was one of my
favorites. I think it's because a shy bookworm finds a happily ever after in
someone who isn't physically perfect, which the majority of the human race
isn't anyway, so everyone can relate.
Allison: What made you decide to write MM?
Tracey: I don't know that I decided anything. LOL I got a
story in my head and I could see the main characters very clearly. Neither of
them were female.
Tracey: So... What color underwear do you have on today?
Allison: Black. It’s always black.
Allison: Okay.... Question. What's your fascination with my
underwear?
Tracey: dies It’s just a fun question and I almost
always get either the stinky eye or a facepalm.
Tracey: Are you enjoying your diet?
Allison: Fuck no. I want pizza and cheesecake and ice cream
and....
Allison: From one of your own books, which character would
you most like to be and why?
Tracey: Hmmm...None of them, I think. They already have
little pieces of me in them. And I like me. Today. That could change tomorrow,
though. LOL
Tracey: Same question to you, Ms Alli.
Allison: OMG... Yeah, I don't know how to answer that. I'm
cruel to my characters. I make them earn their HEAs. I make them face such hard
stuff before they're allowed to be happy. I guess, thus is life though. No
pain. No gain.
Allison: Who/Where/What do you get your best inspiration
from?
Tracey: My best inspiration comes from my dreams. They are
vivid and tell interesting stories and I almost always remember them.
Tracey: Do you have a go-to song when you're writing?
Allison: Yes, I do actually. There are three of them
"You're the one" and "To Get By" by Black Berry Wednesday
or “Try” by Pink
Allison: What's your favorite fairy tale and why?
Tracey: My favorite fairy tale is probably Cinderella,
because no matter how mean people were to her, she kept being who she was. She
was responsible and worked hard. And in the end, she got her heart's desire.
I'm a believer of fate and things happening for a reason.
Excerpt from our new release, Beast:
“Mr. Adams, you are my employee, not my friend. Our
relationship will never grow beyond that, and if you’re not careful, it
could cease to exist entirely.” The anger in his voice grew more and more
present with every word he spoke. “I do not wish to sit with you. I do not
wish to share fond stories with you. I do not wish to be your friend. Am
I understood?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Good. Now, if you wish to remain employed here, you will do
exactly as I ask. No more. No less.”
“I understand, sir. I apologize for overstepping.”
Ilias kept his face blank, not letting Mr. Costas see that
he’d hurt his feelings, and stood up. He moved back to the table and sat down,
but his appetite was gone. Sighing quietly, he woke up his tablet again.
Stick to your book friends, Ilias. You should have
known better.
Day one—nowhere near close to being over and so far, an epic
fail. At this rate, Ilias wouldn’t last a week, and he needed this job. Needed
it almost as badly as he needed air, but would he allow himself to continue to
be humiliated? They say everyone has a price, but would Costas keep paying it
to have the privilege of abusing someone the way he did?
“Shall we get started?” Costas asked.
The sudden sound of his voice made Ilias gasp back the sip
of coffee he had in his mouth. He nearly choked and briefly wondered if Costas
would save him or let him drown in java.
