There's No Heaven....Like Hell

Faced with losing Pandora Productions as well as her best friend Rebecca to the smarmy Paul, savvy film executive Debbie makes a pact with the demon Shaker, agreeing to bind herself to him as his human master in return for killing Paul. When the intended coup goes amiss, resulting in the deaths of both Rebecca and Paul, Debbie finds herself alone at Pandora’s helm, facing a rising tide of corporate enemies led by Paul’s duplicitous son Dante and the behemoth Titan Pictures. Shaker’s backing smoothes the way, solving some problems supernaturally, others through brutal bloodshed, even as he calls into play various preternatural and human allies to assist Debbie.

As the months pass, Debbie’s strong resolve begins to crumble under the weight of her actions, even as she guiltily concedes the pleasure she finds in Shaker’s arms is becoming something more than just affection. Is there hope for a happy ending built on so much evil? Or is Debbie doomed to lose her heart as well as her soul to a demon who has only been waiting for the chance to claim both?

INTERVIEW:

1. What was your inspiration in coming up with the plot in the story?
Demons play a minor yet key role in my paranormal Promise Me series, with the demon Shaker appearing in the last few books as a mayor player. I wanted to know more about him…and what would happen if a woman actively embraced the power he offered, instead of refusing, as my heroine in the Promise Me series does. Could a woman have a partnership with a demon that worked in modern day?
2. How long did it take you to write this book?  What is the amount of research that went into writing it -- i.e. did you need to travel somewhere or interview someone?
I wrote the first draft of A Good Year in about a year’s time, but it took another three years to fine-tune it. This is my first book that involved films and filmmaking; I had to research how an indie film is made, indie film awards, key issues facing studios and films in getting a film from script to finished product, terms, positions, etc. I also really enjoyed having each chapter as one month in a year, but it was a challenge to make that work. Chapters don’t usually come out to a certain number of pages, much less fit into a standard thirty days of time!
3. Any favorite quote or scene from the book?
I really enjoy the first appearance of Shaker in Debbie’s office at Pandora Productions, where he offers her his services. She mistakes him for an extra in one of her films…until he proves to her he’s a real demon.
4. What's your daily routine when you are working on a book?
Between my day job, caring for my snakes, cats, and dogs, volunteering to help various animal shelters, cutting firewood, and the maintenance of my good husband, I have to admit that I don’t have a daily writing routine. I scribble bits of dialogue and scenes on pieces of paper, and write a bit whenever I get a spare moment! I’m typing this while balancing a sleeping rescue kitten on my lap while another is going for my computer keys!
5. If there is one thing you can tell readers on why they should pick up this book, what would it be?
A Good Year delves deep into what it means to love passionately…and the depths that people go in defense of that love. Debbie and Shaker have their reasons for what they do; both are driven to acts that are definitely evil in defense of each other, their friends, and Pandora Productions. Each racks up a hefty bill that will eventually need to be paid. What wouldn’t you do, if it meant saving everything that was important to you? And if you’re loved ones knew what you had done, would they thank you for giving your all…or curse you that you’d crossed the line into darkness? This is the underlying theme of the book, and a question that Debbie will need to answer very soon.
It takes talent on the part of an author to get me rooting for someone who's decidedly not a 'good person'. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I would recommend to anyone who likes something a little different in the way of paranormal romance and would enjoy a more mature heroine. Five Stars.
