An Interview
with Author, Mia Dymond
Where
are you from?
I’m from the great state of Oklahoma!
What
inspired you to write your first book?
I’ve had a great passion for reading since I
was a teenager. Once I started reading
contemporary romance novels, I was drawn to spin stories of my own.
Do
you write full-time or part-time? How do you balance your writing life with
your family/work life?
I write full time and balance my writing life with my family/work life very
carefully! I write during stolen moments
during the day and then I schedule certain hours to write on weekends and at
night.
How
did you come up with the title?
I came up with the title of my first book in
the SEALs, Inc. series after attending an Aerosmith concert.
Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
There is still real, true honest love in the
world.
Are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?
Yes, but I choose not to elaborate for my own safety!
What are your current projects?
I
am currently working on Book 2 in my Alpha Four series, Tame Me.
If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything in your latest
book?
No, other than expanding the
story a bit.
Can you share a little of your current work with us?
Tame Me is the story of Kat Abbott and Jace
“Chaos” Taylor, introduced in Book One, Treasure Me. Kat is a fiercely independent woman who might
have just met her match in Sgt. Taylor.
Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
Description!
Since I am a speed-reader, it is hard for me to “slow down and smell the
roses”!
Who designed the covers?
My covers are designed by Dara England, who is
also an author.
Did you learn anything from writing your book and what was it?
You can’t
please everyone all of the time.
Do you have any advice for other writers?
Keep writing, no matter what
and ignore anyone else’s negativity.
Do you have an agent or publisher? How did you go about finding one?
No, I do not have an agent. I am self-published on Smashwords. My books are also marketed on Amazon.com,
iBooks, BarnesandNoble.com, and Kobo.com
If
you could live anywhere, where would it be?
St. Thomas, USVI
If
you could have any super power, what would it be?
I would be able to “think” my book
onto paper!
Check out Mia Dymond's SEALS INC Series!
Brains
before Beauty, that's Rachel Newberry's motto, especially when her quiet,
orderly life is interrupted by international rock star, Jaydon Hawke. And true
to her word, brains take center stage when she discovers Hawke has a lot more
on his mind than beautiful music. Targeted by a madman, Rachel puts her trust
in Hawke, a move that may cost both their lives.
Handbags,
stilettos, and spa dates -- not retired SEAL Max Sterling's usual m.o. Until
Cameron Tremaine. Duty bound, Max tolerates her sass and smart mouth until she
pushes too far.
Cameron doesn't need a bald, bossy bodyguard, thank you very much. Especially
one oh, so delectable as Max. Except, when someone decides to silence her for
good, Cameron realizes bold and brassy go hand in hand.
Former
Navy SEAL and private investigator Brett Steele didn't realize there was a
politically correct term for stripping until he met Holly London. Initially
drawn to her long legs and curvy, toned body, Brett soon learns there is more
to the "sensual dance" instructor than he thought.
Holly has a colorful secret: psychic ability allows her to read aura through
color. Believing she is a freak of nature, Holly avoids personal relationships
and ignores her curse, rendering it a nuisance. Until the atmosphere warns her
she has become the target of a madman.
Faced with exposing her secret, Holly must risk trusting Brett in order to stay
alive.
Claire
Steele has spent her whole life dodging shadows. Psychic since birth, she uses
her talent to chase the evil lurking in the recesses of her mind.
For years, Lt. Malcolm "Shadow" Windsor has walked the fragile
boundary of friendship, silently waiting for Claire to acknowledge her love for
him. An ex-Navy SEAL and expert tracker, he knows patience is the key to her
surrender. Until sinister forces threaten to eliminate her.
Caught between love and death, Claire and Shadow must combine both talent and
skill to survive.
Tess
Michaels, bookkeeper and human calculator, keeps business at The Cathouse
clearly profitable - until the numbers begin to fade. Matt Brooks, former Army
Ranger and newest member of SEALS, Inc., agrees to investigate, immediately
intrigued and aroused by her numerical ability. Yet when Tess becomes his prime
suspect, he must do calculations of his own to prove her innocence.
