Featured Author at The Romance Studio [May 2007] Tilly
Greene Mimi St.
John is an intelligent woman in a committed relationship, or so she thought.
After dropping hints and finally getting a small taste of what she truly wanted
from her lover in the bedroom, he leaves. Rick
Milston has known from the first moment he saw his lover that she was the only
one for him. They suit each other perfectly. As they make the steps to start
down a new path, life rears it's head and turns everything upside down. With a
passion for fashion and bondage, these two lovers find themselves reuniting on
the runway. Read
an excerpt from The Leather Bride * About
Tilly Greene Born
into the easy folds of a sleepy beach town Tilly Greene has ever since
been trying to shake the sand out from between her toes. Thinking she had it all
figured out she moved to colder, frigid if you ask her, climes and, although
seeing seasons evolve is wonderful she has yet to recover her equilibrium. The
thongs and shorts are still regularly worn, no matter what time of year, and her
imagination runs to the wild side of scorching. Backlist The

Interview with Tilly Greene By
Holly Hewson, Marketing Director for The Romance Studio HH:
Tilly, welcome back to TRS BLUE. Please tell us about your featured work, The
Leather Bride. TG:
Hey there Holly, it's always lovely to be here at TRS Blue, and, let me take
this opportunity to compliment TRS on the Romance Galleria, what a wonderful
place to play around, thank you. Okay, let's see, where to start. Hmmm, oh, I
got it - The Leather Bride is about a passion for fashion and bondage.
This tale is about lovers who, after experiencing an entirely new level of love,
hit a bumpy patch in their otherwise steady relationship. And yet, past mistakes
no longer matter when the lovers reunite on the runway. HH:
This is a unique take on the reunited lovers story. Where did you get the idea?
TG: Communication is a major part of a successful relationship and it's
often the reason many of them breakdown. I wanted to write a story that showed
how easy it is to allow those lines to drop or break, even if it's done with the
best of intentions in mind, and how it's not too late to make it right. HH:
What did you enjoy most about writing this story?
TG:
That is a harder question to answer than you might think. I guess I'm like a
mother hen and admit I loved every bit of it. The characters are interesting in
how they react to both the good and the bad around them. The fashion show was a
blast to write, as was the couples more intimate scenes. Hmmm, and the bondage,
well, it was fun in its own special way. HH:
What challenges did you face? TG:
I can't say it was really a challenge, but there was some research I needed to
do and it's always fun to see how those details are twisted, fleshed out and
become integrated in the tale. HH:
What do you like most about your two romantic leads? TG:
There's loads but I'll narrow it down and pick one thing for each. Rick Milston
is successful and gorgeous, but he's not infallible. When his friend points out
how wrong he's been, there's nothing he won't do to make it right again. And
then there's Mimi St. John, not a stick thin model but an accountant, who
manages to tap into her inner strength and walk down the runway for a friend.
These two aren't perfect by any means, they could be anyone, and that's what I
like about them most. HH:
What are you working on now? TG:
Ooo, thank you for asking because I'm so excited about my current projects. I've
toning up Come, Now the first in the Come trilogy, now only the
last one needs to be completed before submitting it. The Ivanovich brothers are
delicious shifters who have only themselves to blame for state of their love
lives, but they aren't the type to sit back and wait for things to fix
themselves. I've also been working on My Angel, a companion story to Call
Me Lucifer, and yes, it's another story full of twists and turns. HH:
What do you enjoy most about being a writer? TG:
The best part is being able to tell a story that in the end will entertain the
reader. I like to write about people who fall in love, the good and the bad
parts, with all the doors and windows open. My preference is to build characters
who aren't perfect, and despite their imperfections are still confident in
themselves. Oh, and I like adding unexpected twists and turns along the way to a
HEA. HH:
What do you consider a good writing day? TG:
HA! A good writing day is when I can ignore everything going on around me and
just write. HH:
What do you enjoy doing in any free time? TG:
Travel. I was recently in Paris and the trip spawned the next story in the Passion
for Fashion and Bondage series, Taming Marie Antoinette [coming out in
October 2007]. Then there is my pop-ups, time speeds by when I'm trying to
create one or working out the kinks in a book from my collection. HH:
Will you be attending any conferences or conventions this year? TG:
Unfortunately no, family is top of the list right now so all our spare time is
spent with them. I can't wait to hear all about them from those who do attend,
they really are such a fun time. Phrew, thank Holly, always a pleasure to talk
with you =) * * * |
