It always starts with a woman, doesn't it? Except this time it starts with two women. And Elvis. I'm Harry-the-Homebody, ultimate geek married to my job. I love two my gorgeous Hawaiian Island and my Lyssa. Or I wish she was mine. She travels the world, can't wait to be off on the next adventure. I can't imagine ever leaving my perfect little corner of the world. She loves me. Like she loves her brother, my best friend. Until one hour in Elvis changes everything. I'm too damned old for this! Seriously? I'm Alyssa the Wanderer. Flying is my life. So why am I giving up everything to marry Harry Kanae, a guy I've known forever? Does being pregnant make you lose your mind? I can't seem to get enough of him. When did he get so damned sexy? There's a whole world to see. And yet...how can I leave Harry? I'm through being patient. Or tolerant. Do they believe they control my creations? My children? I am above them all. Mightier and ageless. Let the foolish mortals burn. Sparks fly hotter than Mount Kilauea's lava when one long-awaited night of passion becomes a full-time commitment. Will these polar opposite life-long buddies discover something more than friendship? Ancient (and totally pissed) Volcano Goddess Pele and a red convertible called Elvis might just have to assist.
Mia Epsilon likes to think of herself as a cross between The Doctor Who companions Donna and Amy. She has Donna's blunt manner of speaking and big gooey heart coupled with Amy's enduring curiosity and belief in one true love. And of course, she's also a red head.
Story ideas tend to come from real life incidents, although Mia hasn't quite been able to bring herself to curse a heroine with setting her sleeve on fire at Christmas dinner and then flashing the entire fire department. Favorite authors include Nora Roberts, JD Robb, Stephen King, and Samantha Holt. "We're all stories so make yours a good one."
Look for more books and favorite characters in the 'Weddings by C & C' line including: 'Wedding Belle Blues', 'Take a Chance on Me', 'If You Want Me', 'Take on Me' and 'Let Me Know'.
Love Pele! She is both terrifying and a hoot. And there’s definite something about her dog..... Harry reminded me a lot of Sherlock except with mostly unbidden feelings. He’s the ultimate boyfriend and husband, smart, sweet and funny yet often clueless. Aly loves to travel and fly. She thinks of Harry as a brother until one really HOT night. I want Harry and Elvis now! Then she gets life changing news. I like the characters being older. They are in their late forties or early fifties. There,s younger ones too and the contrasts are amazing. I felt like I could be in Hawaii and after last year volcano eruption this was way timely. We didn’t get told, we got shown, a fav of mine too. Great addition to the series. Some minor typos, missing punctuation that don’t distract from the story. Read it in one day, growling at anything that tried to interrupt me. Highly recommended
