Max and Asher's Home - Until You and I Believe Now

Max and Asher’s Home

Max and Asher live high above Chicago’s city streets. Even though, prior to Asher moving in, Max never spent much time there, he still opted for magnificent beauty and ultra-convenience. 8,500 square feet of luxury, it still sometimes represents a prison for Asher.

One of Max and Asher's Living rooms

                                                                 Max’s Home office

Decorated by Chicago’s most talented interior designers even some of the furnishings have a cost beyond measure. Yet he has items that mean much more to him than his most expensive modern art piece. Sitting on a center shelf in a glass case is an item Asher does not recognize but Max holds very dear. It is a very simple tumbler from which Max sipped brandy that first time he visited Asher in his apartment, right after Asher had saved his life. Max treasures it because Asher dug deep in his cupboards to find something that wasn’t plastic or Styrofoam. Max chuckles at the fact Asher has no idea he even took it with him.

This is where Max keeps Ash's tumbler from that night

The views from the penthouse are even more magnificent than the penthouse itself. There is an incredible view from all sides of his home but none rival the one off his amazing outside space facing downtown Chicago. Even in the winter, it offers an incredible view.

The only place where Max opted for curtains to obscure the view was the bedroom.  Even those are gossamer and thin.  But Max was never any good at sharing things so when Asher moved in, the curtains went up. Otherwise the floor to high ceiling windows remain totally uncovered.

I Believe Now - The video

About the book trailers

I redid the trailer for Until You and it was the first time I used video in a video. It really made a difference. So I wanted to highlight that video along with the one for I Believe Now. The Until You video really sets the tone for the two books which is very “city” and dark. The videos I used within the video for Until You were all a cities at night and so captured that mood. I love the music for Until You video as well. It’s called Fancy Footwork by LynnMusic. It’s a full on piece that starts out slow and pulsating, rather ominous and pensive. But then it develops into something big, like something important is happening, something amazing is approaching, which fit, in my opinion, the aura of Until You.  The video for I Believe Now is much choppier, more urban, a little bit down and dirty. The music is right there, already in the thick of things. I love the way it falls, too, especially toward the end when there’s the reveal of the possibility that all of Max’s plans just may not go the way he thinks they will. That even he can be fallible. Something he can’t afford to be in his dark world. The music really punches that home. So I really like both of these videos and hope you do, too.

If you will also notice, like in a lot of sequels, the covers are similar. This is the first sequel I have been able to have a second cover for. Ice Dragon Tales had started out as two books due to its length. My publisher at the time split it and I had every intention of having similar covers for that one, too, but the second book never made it out before Silver Publishing collapsed. When Amber Allure published it, they published it as one book which was a thrill for me.  So honestly, this is the first time I have had a second book in a series come out. I had the express privilege of working with Tracy Soxie Weston on both covers. She is brilliant.  So make sure to check out the covers in the videos as well. Here’s the first video for Until You:

Character Interview with Max Tyler

Max Tyler from I Believe Now Talks about his Asher

Thanks for talking with me today Mr. Tyler. To begin with I want to acknowledge your status in this city. You’re a pretty important man.

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘important’.

Well, you’re political influence is relatively substantial, to say the least.

(Nodding) I have friends who discuss things with me.

Actually what I understand, you talk, they listen. There’s no real discussion.

(Chuckles) That’s quite the exaggeration.

What about the police? I understand you have the police chief’s personal cell number and can call it anytime.

Actually, it’s the chief who has my cell. He calls me.

See? That’s what I mean. They listen to you.

I will admit that I have knowledge of certain organizations and networks in this city. Occasionally the police rely on me to help steer them in the right direction.

I think that’s rather influential, don’t you?

I call it rather intelligent on their part.

So intelligent that, in fact, someone tried to not only assassinate you last year but blew your office up while you were still in it. I understand you were saved because of your desk? Care to talk about that?

(Smirk) It was a very small explosive but yes, someone thought they could eliminate me. I was shielded by my desk which was made of a very specific material capable of withstanding such personal type explosives.

You hid underneath it.

I did.

But you weren’t alone. You also saved the life of the man who actually brought the bomb in?

(Chuckles again) Yes. Asher Madden was with me at the time. And yes, he brought in the bomb but the clueless kid had no idea that was what he had done.

And now he’s your lover?

No comment

Really? There certainly seems to be something going on between the two of you.

Hmmm?

He’s living with you, you protect him by surrounding him with your people. Why are you afraid to admit it?

I’m not afraid of anything. I just don’t discuss my love life with the public.

Ahhh! See? I was right. You’re in love.

(Smile)

That’s so sweet! Tell me about Asher. What is it you like about him?

(Looks away for a moment) He’s… life. He’s full of life. He reminds me that there is actual pleasure that can be extracted from our existence in this dark world. He makes me crazy. He makes me emotional. He’s… everything.

Is this the first time you’ve been in love?

Absolutely. I have never felt this way about anyone or anything.

So what is your loved one doing these days?

(Laughs) I commissioned a number of Chicago calendars called Chicago Illusions. He won the contract as the photographer. So he’s been busy running around the city getting the best photos he can in order to tell the story he wants to tell about his beloved Chicago.

You commissioned it? You mean you did it to keep him busy?

I did it to keep him out of trouble.

Trouble?

Yes. My past has a few unresolved… issues.

Ahhh. You mean former congressman Wyatt Jackson. He didn’t end up in prison like you expected him to, did he?

(Huffs) I don’t think Jackson has it in him to come back at me. I think he just might believe I’m still out to get him so he’s going to go underground and stay there. But, yes, keeping Asher busy but close and protected is my number one top priority. He tends to be too interested in stories that make the front page as opposed to the one he can tell with these calendars.

So you think he’s unaware of the possible danger?

Danger? There’s no danger. Like you said, I have him surrounded. In fact, once I learned Jackson was released I sent in a couple more people to keep Asher safe. But yes again, he’s totally unaware and that’s the way I want to keep it. His handlers are fully alert. That’s all I need.

Still, people make mistakes. And in the end, that’s all we are. People.

Not mine. They’re not allowed. Especially the ones who protect my Asher.

Really? So you expect no problems at all from Mr. Jackson?

(Sigh) I didn’t say that. Unfortunately he has fallen off my radar. That in itself is a problem. But I think he’s simply gone underground.

Doesn’t sound like you are all that confident.

I’m confident in that I can protect Asher. That’s all I need.

That’s very interesting you think that. Good luck to you, then. Thank you for talking to me.

Character Interview with Asher Madden

Blurb:

Max Tyler and Asher Madden are back—and so is a very angry man from their past. A man who believes he has been extremely wronged by the great Max Tyler.

Wyatt Jackson knows it was Max who made it impossible for him to be re-elected and that was all the politician had been after. Plus, due to the lies Max told, Jackson nearly ended up in prison.

Jackson not only wants his life back, he wants Max Tyler dead.

First step? Kidnap Max's precious Asher Madden.

Max is well aware of his error in not taking care of Wyatt Jackson when he had the chance. He just didn't think the man had it in him to bite back. But Asher is now in the former Congressman's dirty hands and in order to rescue him, Max needs a plan. One that can't fail.

But what happens when it does?

Hello, Mr. Madden. So nice to meet you.

Call me Asher. Nice to meet you, too. I was told you wanted to talk to me?

I do. Did they tell you I also talked with Mr. Tyler?

Max mentioned something. What can I do for you?

Well, first of all, I’m curious. What does it feel like to be the lover of one of the most powerful men in the city?

(Blushes) You mean Max? Yeah, I guess he’s pretty powerful. Pretty pushy, too.

Pushy?

Yeah. He’s like this huge alpha male. Won’t let me be alone. He always has all these people follow me and I have no choice in the matter. Thinks I can’t tie my own shoe laces.

He refers to it as providing protection.

From what? He constantly thinks someone’s out to get me. He acts like I can’t take care of myself. It makes me crazy sometimes.

Sounds like he loves you.

Love? I don’t think he’s ever told me he loves me.

You doubt it?

(Sigh) No. I know the bastard loves me. Would be nice to hear it once in a while, though.

Don’t actions speak louder than words?

Hah! If that’s the case then he more than loves me.

(Chuckles) I understand you’re a photographer.

Yep. I love it. Even the weddings and stuff. Me and my camera are pretty close.

(Laughs) What are you doing now? I heard you won that coveted contract, Chicago Illusions. A year in the life of Chicago in calendar form.

Oh yeah! It’s amazing! I am having a blast.

So what exactly are you doing?

Oh man. I get to capture this city’s personality, show it in color and shapes and… just life, you know? This city is fierce and daunting and mean and hard but it’s beautiful and incredible, too. Like in the morning? When it’s just waking up? Wow. From the dirty streets to the highest penthouse – Max’s penthouse, by the way – I really believe I’ve let it come alive through my view finder.

You sound like you love your job a lot.

Oh, I do.

So do you love Mr. Tyler like that?

(Blushes again) Well, loving Mr. Tyler isn’t always that easy.

What do you mean?

I mean he’s a bit hard to pin down. Doesn’t really go for all that romantic stuff.

Romantic stuff?

You know, flowers and dinner and stuff. But every once in a while I still try to surprise him with them.

Really? Dinner and flowers? I am having a bit of trouble imagining Mr. Tyler appreciating a bouquet of roses.

Yeah, but he does love Bob San sushi almost as much as I do.

So you surprise him with dinner? What else?

Oh, music, a glass of wine, maybe a bubble bath, that kind of thing. He usually gets home really late so it’s a little hard to order in. But, well, his name tends to move mountains so I have to admit that occasionally I use it.

You use his name?

(Laughs) Yeah. Who delivers amazing sushi at two in the morning? They do if it’s Max.

I see. So, what is his usual response?

To me doing that? Absolutely the same every time.

And what would that be?

Not sure he would appreciate me saying.

Oh! I see. That kind of response.

Ah huh. All night.

Wow.

Makes for a tough morning

I bet. So one final question. What do you see for your future?

My future? Not sure. But as long as it has Max in it it’ll be crazy. Yeah, Max. That’s my future.
