The Boys of Summer a new #MMromance by @SarahMadisonFic #RLFblog
This quick interview includes info about the author, and
introduces the story.About the Author
Sarah Madison is a writer
with a large dog, an even bigger horse, too many cats, and a very patient
boyfriend. An amateur photographer and a former competitor in the horse sport
known as eventing, when she’s not out hiking with the dog or down at the
stables, she’s at the laptop working on her next story. When she’s in the
middle of a chapter, she relies on the smoke detector to tell her dinner is
ready. She writes because it’s cheaper than therapy.Sarah Madison was a
finalist in the 2013 Rainbow Awards and The Boys of Summer was the winner of
Best M/M Romance in the 2013 PRG Reviewer’s Choice Awards.Interview with Sarah Madison
Why did you write
this book?I had this image in my mind I couldn’t shake in which one of
the main characters, Rick Sutton, is leaning against a Spitfire, dressed in a
RAF flight officer’s uniform. I thought it might make a cool dream sequence,
but when I began researching the Battle of Britain in order to get the details
right, I was appalled at how little I knew of the time period or how much these
young men sacrificed. The more I read, the more I needed to know. I spent over a month immersing myself in WW2
history, finally coming up for air and realizing I had to do justice to their
story. Finding a way to give my heroes their happy ending was the hard part,
but never fear, I believe in happy endings.What is your favorite
genre to read?I love mysteries and sci-fi/fantasy. I love historicals and
romance, too. So if you want to make my day, give me a murder mystery set in
the 1800’s with aliens. Actually, that’s kind of hard to find, which is why so
many of my own stories have a weird mix of genres.Who is your favorite
character from fiction (not including your own)?Oh, I have so many! Lord Peter Wimsey from the Dorothy
Sayers novels, and Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice, for example.
Sherlock Holmes. Spock. Amelia Peabody from the Elizabeth Peters novels. The
lovely thing about a great character is that they are enduring—people remember
them long after the book has been read. The Sherlock Holmes stories are riddled
with inaccuracies and frequently told from a passive viewpoint, and yet we
don’t care because Holmes himself was incandescent. His presence made the story
come alive.What are you working
on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?I’ve got a couple of irons in the fire right now. I’m
working on the first in a series of stories set in the 1950s about a couple of
agents who investigate paranormal events—kind of like Ward and June Cleaver
meets the X-Files. I’ve also got a Regency M/M romance in the works, as well as
a contemporary M/M romance involving the sport horse world. I’ve also got
paranormal sequels planned for the Sixth Sense series, and my vampire/shifter
story, Crying for the Moon. I have LOTS of plans; just not enough time to
write!Please tell us about
your latest book.David McIntyre has been enjoying
the heck out of his current assignment: touring the Hawaiian Islands in search
of the ideal shooting locations for a series of film company projects. What’s
not to like? Stunning scenery, great food, sunny beaches… and a secret crush on
Rick Sutton, the hot, ex-Air Force pilot who is flying him around.Everything changes when a tropical
storm and engine failure force a crash landing on a deserted atoll with a WWII
listening post. Rick’s injuries, and a lack of food and water, mean David has
to step up to the plate and play hero. While his days are spent fighting for
survival, and his nights are filled with worrying about Rick, the two men grow
closer. David’s research for his next movie becomes intertwined with his worst
fears, and events on the island result in a vivid dream about the Battle of
Britain. On waking, David realizes Rick is more than just a pilot to him. The
obstacles that prevented a happy ending in 1940 aren’t present today, and David
vows that if they survive this stranding, he will tell Rick how he feels.About the Book

finds her strength. Doing her service in the greater good of her people.If your character could

biggest personal flaw?She lacks empathy at the beginning from being battle hardened. By the
end of the story she’s found feelings again.When there is a setback,
what doubt or flaw surfaces?I think setbacks make her more determined to complete her tasks.
Nothing will deter her from making sacrifice to the Goddess Artemis.How does your character
handle challenges?She’s extremely adaptable, her minimal warrior lifestyle does not
leave room for attachment. And then one day she forms a very deep attachment to
someone she should not even be on speaking terms with.What is your heroine’s
breaking point?Penthesilia broke when she accidentally killed her sister during a
hunt. From then on she has only a few things in life she really wants.How does your character
express disappointment?Penthesilia retreats into solitude.How emotionally expressive
is your character to others?Depending on the situation, she can be cold and aloof or if among
friends and loved ones passionate and open.When (if) she lies or is
upset, what gives him away?Penthesilia is one cool cookie. She doesn’t have any tells because
that can get you killed on the battlefield. When confronted with her subterfuge
and deception she willingly takes responsibility.Who in her life has the
power to hurt this character the most and why?Her fellow Amazons because they are her closest people. Hector,
because she deeply respects him, he is better than this war without honor and
Achilles, if he finds out the truth about her it would be catastrophic.About Your Writer
Why do you think your
writer chose to write about you?I think C.G. Williams chose to write about me because she was
fascinated by brief descriptions left by Homer. She wanted to write my story
with complexity and richness of culture that she’d not found in other fictional
writings about Amazons. She loves kick ass women that navigate their way
through difficult terrain.What do you wish your
writer had not told others about you?I wish that she’d left private the details of my affair with Achilles.What other character from
your book do you think your writer should write a book about, and why?Any one of the Amazon warriors that came with me, for example Ainia
the fastest Amazon to set feet upon this earth. Harmothoe the Amazon who has
the gift of communion with animals and Bremusa who is a granddaughter of
Hercules and a priestess of the Dark Artemis Hecate.Why do you think your
writer loves to write?My writer loves to write because it takes her to a place outside this
physical realm. She can travel deep into imagination and once that stream flows
it is epically delightful.Is there anything you’d
like to say to your writer?Thanks for telling my side.Buy This Book
