Just One Night by Elle Casey
(Just One Night Serial)
Genres: Adult, Romance
Part 1:
Jennifer is sexually frustrated and disillusioned with love, a very dangerous combination. Convinced there’s no such thing as Prince Charming, and against her best friend’s better judgment, she places a personal ad seeking a one-night stand. No strings, no commitments, no second dates. Her goal? To restore her faith in men by setting up a single night of fantasy that can never be tainted by reality.
William is a busy executive, newly arrived in the United States from England. Life for him is all about minimizing complications. He doesn’t have the time nor the inclination to share his life with anyone, to have obligations outside of work, or to become entangled in a relationship with an emotional basket case of a woman who’s desperately seeking her Prince Charming. But he does see the value in having an attractive woman in his arm for networking purposes …

Why
did you decide to write a serial romance?
I'm
always looking for ways to do something different, mix things up a bit. I was
reading about the history of serial novels on Wikipedia one day, and I realized
that it's really an old form of delivering novels to the public (not some
newfangled thing like some people think), and I thought it would be kind of
interesting to give it a shot. I write a lot and have a lot of books out, and
to keep things interesting, I like to try new things -- new for me, anyway. The
best part about writing that serial novel, though, was that I would write a
Part and then wait for reader feedback before I started the next Part, so it
was a very interactive way of writing a story. The readers definitely
influenced the way the story was guided and how it ended.
What
specifically inspired you to write Just One Night?
I was
looking to write something a little steamier than I have in the past, and I
liked the idea of a one night stand that turns into something more. I also have
a real soft spot in my heart for Hugh Grant, so having a character who is a
charming Englishman really appealed to me.
Do
you have plans to write other serials?
Actually,
yes, I do. Edward is William’s younger brother in Just One Night, and he has
earned his own serial romance that will come out in November and December. It
will also feature Jennifer and William from the first serial novel, Edward’s
new personal assistant, and Mia, Jennifer's best friend.
Do
you self-publish all your books?
I self
publish most of my books, but early in 2015, I signed a contract with
traditional publisher Montlake Romance who is re-publishing two of my
self-published titles, and they've also signed up for a new three-book series.
All of these are in the romance genre. The new romance series is called The
Bourbon Street Boys series, and the first book “Wrong Number, Right Guy,” is
available here for pre-order: http://bit.ly/BSBbook1
How
long have you lived in the south of France? Where did you move from?
I moved
from South Florida to southern France in 2010. I came here for a 1-year
adventure with my husband and three children, and we decided to stay after
being here for six months. I basically live in the middle of thousands of acres
of vineyards and among villages that are over a thousand years old with houses
built of stone. It's pretty close to my idea of heaven. We’ve renovated an old
barn in the middle of a gorgeous little village that’s our home now, and we
have a small vineyard that produces about 3,500 bottles of red wine a year.
What
are your favorite Romance books / favorite Romance authors?
My
favorite romance books are the ones that have happy endings. I guess I'm kind
of old-fashioned, because I really enjoy the ones where the main characters end
up getting married and having a baby. A surprise baby is even more exciting!
I'm not a real fan of a bunch of heartache and cruelty, which I think has
become kind of common these days. I see a lot of readers really looking for
tearjerkers and emotional rollercoasters in their next reads. That's not my
style as a reader, although there will be some tears involved in some of the
books that I’ve written. I don’t always write what I would choose to read as a
reader; I write the stories that are being told by the characters loudest in my
head. I don’t have a favorite romance author because I have read so many, many
romances in my lifetime. I just grab ones that have great descriptions and
read! I also like to get recommendations from my family or friends for my next
reads. That being said, I really don’t have time to read much these days
because of all the writing I do!
