Sep 13th Dynamic Writing Duo M. Goldsmith & A. Malin Authors of The House of Fire

Give a warm welcome to M. Goldsmith and A. Malin authors of The House of Fire. Pull up a chair, grab a drink of your choice from the cooler, a Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter cookie from the plate, and let’s find out a little about Mel and Anita and The House of Fire.

Why should we read this book/series and what sets you apart from the rest and makes your book/series unique?

The House of Fire is an exciting, romantic, paranormal adventure. We take our readers on a journey to Aether, a village cloaked magic whose inhabitants are enhanced with gifts from the four elements: Fire, Water, Air and Earth. We differ from many other paranormals in that our story does not involve vampires, shape shifters, witches, etc. Our story introduces two different love stories and encompasses a four character point of view.

Tell us something about yourself and allow us to get to know you

We first met when our daughters (now grown) were in first grade. The girls became fast friends and so did we. A shared love of romance novels sparked our passion to create the world of Aether and fulfill our lifelong dreams of writing our own story.

Your approach to writing? Are you a plotter or follow your characters flow (Pantser)?

We are a combination of plotter and pantser in one. We get together at a local diner and develop our concepts and let our creativity flow. We throw our ideas back and forth until we have a solid framework for our story. From there, we allow our characters the freedom to let their own stories develop more organically. As a team we are afforded the unique opportunity of always having a built in sounding board. Working with one of your best friends you become each other’s psychologist, editor, critic and cheerleader. By now, we actually know too much about each other.

Who would you recommend this book to and what should readers be aware of before reading it?

We would recommend this book to anyone age 16 and over. The book contains sexually explicit scenes (but is not erotic) and some mild violence. Anyone who enjoys a fun and exciting page turner will enjoy this book.

Tell us a little about The House of Fire.

Ashlyn Woods, Fire Guardian of Aether, never imagined she would be kidnapped by a doctor driven by obsession and greed. His nefarious plan includes harnessing Ashlyn’s powers for profit and revenge. Consumed by unimaginable forces that draw him to her, it falls upon Hawk, the Protector, to rescue the tempestuous Fire Guardian. Their unrequited passion and an inexplicable magnetic pull wax and wane between the two. Ashlyn and Hawk, together, uncover a shared telepathic link they must tap into in order to bring her home safely. Soon they discover, by opening their hearts, the connection between them goes deeper than either of them ever imagined.

How about a peek between the page of The House of Fire?

Ash curled herself into a tight ball on the bed and wrapped up in the scratchy blanket. If I ever get out of this place, I’m going to proposition Hawk and tell him once and for all how I feel about him. I’m going to tell him, I think about him night and day. How I long for him to hold me in his arms and to kiss me senseless. Now if only he could find me. Still feeling weak from the drugs, weariness overtook her, and she slept focusing her thoughts on Hawk.

Even in her sleep, Ashlyn could sense the air around her humming with energy. Her mind was consumed with Hawk, and she unwittingly connected to him. Reaching deep, her concentration intense, she begged him to help her. A feeling of warmth filled her, and her nose twitched when she caught a whiff of Hawk’s woodsy, masculine scent. Without warning the door to their link was suddenly slammed shut, and Hawk was forcibly ripped from her mind. Waking with a start, Ashlyn bolted upright.

“Dear Goddess, I actually felt him!” she exclaimed, in shock. “But how?”

Ash sensed the loss immediately. There had always been a connection with Hawk, but this was something altogether different, something stronger, something, much more. Hope flickered inside her. Now, if only she could do it again.
