Author Lily Morton is here today and she's got some fun tidbits about her Mixed Messages series. She's also offering a backlist ebook so be sure to enter below for your chance to win!
My name is Lily Morton and I write love stories with heat and humour. My Mixed Messages series features snarky men falling in love with a lot of laughs along the way. Here are some facts about the series that you might not know:
1. Rule Breaker had many different titles. They included Rational, Love and Other Memos and Dizzy.
2. The sarcastic work emails between Gabe and Dylan that people loved in Rule Breaker were very much written on a whim. I wrote them while watching Strictly Come Dancing and I still have a few spare ones lying around in a file somewhere.
3. Asa was originally meant to be American. It came as quite a surprise to find out while I was writing that he was from Yorkshire!
4. Billy’s chat with Jude at the front door in the beginning of Deal Maker was actually based on my youngest son. He was so chatty that he’d talk to anyone and despite being told not to, he kept opening the door to doorstep cold callers just so he’d have a new person to talk to.
5. Ivo in Risk Taker was originally going to be a lot older than Henry.
6. In Risk Taker, Ivo was Henry’s best friend of nearly twenty years. However, in my original plan he was going to be a fashion photographer and a stranger who Henry meets during a hook up.
How fun was that? We unicorns thank Lily for helping us celebrate our fifth anniversary.
Oz Gallagher does not do relationships well. Bored and jobless after another disastrous hook up, he decides to leave London for a temporary job in the wilds of Cornwall. Surely managing a stately home on a country estate will be easier than navigating the detritus of his relationships at home. Six months there will alleviate a bit of his wanderlust and then he can come back to London as footloose and fancy-free as the day he left it.
However, when he gets there he finds a house in danger of crumbling to the ground and a man who is completely unlike anyone he’s ever met. An earl belonging to a family whose roots go back hundreds of years, Silas is the living embodiment of duty and sacrifice. Two things that Oz has never wanted. He's also warm and funny and he draws Oz to him like a magnet.
Oz banks on the fact that they're from two very different worlds to stop himself falling for Silas. But what will he do when he realises that these differences are actually part of the pull to one another? Will falling in love be enough to make him stop moving at last and realise that he's finally home?
From bestselling author, Lily Morton comes a romantic comedy about two very different men and one very dilapidated house.
This is the first book in the Finding Home series but it can be read as a standalone.

You need to let us read the extra work emails! And I think that making Henry and Ivo friends for years was a good decision. I love friends to lovers!
ReplyDeleteI love it when authors share that the character had definite views on how he/she should be handled (e.g. discovering Asa was NOT American, lol). Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love the emails were written whilst watching Strictly!!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of the books but I love learning about the behind the scenes decisions.
ReplyDeleteI love reading factoids about the characters and their environment, especially if they live in another country. I also enjoy visual prompts as to how the author visualizes their characters.
