About the Book
Title: The Fire God Tour
Author: Michele Sims
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Suspense
Miles Moore is obsessed with fire. He can’t help it—it’s in his genes. He’s also the famous performer Ari, an international hip-hop sensation. There are some negatives that come with fame—death threats and life on the road among them—but there’s also a lot of good: fast cars, fast women, international travel, and more money than he can handle.
When Bella Wahlberg joins his team as the chief of marketing, she seems like the antithesis of what he’s looking for, so much so that Miles dubs her Belsa the Ice Queen. It would be unprofessional for them to get together, but more than that, she’s unavailable—and deathly afraid of fire. But as they prepare for The Fire God Tour, Miles can tell something is changing. Is he ready to commit himself to one woman? Can fire and ice come together?
Interview with Author Michele Sims
What inspired you to come up with the idea for your book? There were exercises for authors at the Romance Writers of America’s convention in San Diego that challenged the authors attending the symposium to come up with a bigger than life character, ie politician, entertainer, businessmen, etc. and out of that challenge, the character Miles Aridio Moore, the hip-hop music mogul originated.
Any challenges in writing this book? There were many challenges starting with not wanting to be limited to one genre. The Moore family saga is a trilogy that is a contemporary suspense romance with elements of fantasy. It also has inspirational aspects. It was a challenge incorporating multiple story lines.
When you’re not writing, what are you up to? I love the simple things in life such as witnessing sunrises and sunsets. I’m a wife, mother of adult sons and a practicing psychiatrist.
What do you love most about writing? I love the creative aspect of taking a blank page and producing something out of nothing. I love words and creating scenarios in which people have challenges but they learn to overcome them.
How do you go about choosing the names for your characters? That’s a tough one. I draw from various sources which include names I like, the origin of the name and sometimes names I see on television credits on television shows.
Do you have a favorite genre you like to read (other than the ones you write in)? Autobiographies
What other books have you written? I have written the prequels to the Fire God Tour which include Act I. Seed on Fire and Act II. Playing with Fire. I’m working on contributions to two anthologies to be published this year.
Do you have a favorite book (out of the ones you’ve written)? That’s as difficult as asking do I have a favorite child. It depends on the day and the time.
Print or e-books–do you have a preference? e-books
What genres do you prefer to write in? Contemporary romance
Coffee or tea? Starbucks Coffee is the best for a long day of writing.
